San Angelo Upset
Sweetwater 14-12
A strong San Angelo Bobcat
squad held open their chances
for second place in district 3-AA
as they edged past the Sweet-
water's Mustangs 14-12 in Bob-
cat Stadium in San Angelo Fri-
day night.
Two perfect conversions plus
two good goal line stands com-
bined with the passing of Rich-
ard Harvey pushed the Bobcats
past the Mustangs in the hard
fought conference game.
First scoring was done by the
Bobcats early in the second
quarter after they had marched
32 yards from their own 20.
Harvey tossed a perfect pass to
Eddie Mee who took it in on
the Mustang 25 and raced on
over to score. Don Wells came
in and converted to give the
Bobcats a 7 point lead.
The Mustangs came back in
fine fashion as Jerry Mayberry
picked up 7 on a tackle around,
and Tom McMillan picked up
56 yards on three plays moving
the ball to the Bobcat 5-yard
line. Baxter Lambert picked up
4 to the Bobcat one but Lambert
lost three on the next play.
Jackie Sheets then plunged over
from the four for the score.
Lambert was tackled short of the
goal on the try for point.
Before the first half ended
TSCW Hockey Game
Predicts TU Victory
DENTON, Nov. 22, (Spl —
Texas University is going to win
over the Texas Aggies!-that is,
if the score of the annual Texas
State College for Women hockey
game is any indication.
According to tradition at
TSCW, the school represented
by the winning girls' hockey
team will win the annual
Thanksgiving grid clash be-
tween the two schools. And
TSCWs Texas University hockey
team won, 3-0!
Goalie for the Aggies was Miss
Barbara Anderson, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. K. M. Anderson,
1010 James, Sweetwater. She is
a junior physical education ma-
jor. Miss Louise Aylor, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Aylor,
Sweetwater, played right wing
for the team. She is a sophomore
physical education major.
the Mustangs almost scored
again as McMillan shot down
the sideline from his own 42 to
the Bobcat 3 yard line where he
was pushed out of bounds. The
Bobcats held and four consecu-
tive Mustang plays fell way
short as the Bobcats took over
on their own 12 after McMillan
was trapped there on the final
try.
Left End Charles Mathews
caught the second half kick-off
on the Mustang 30 and ran 63
yards before being pulled down
to begin the Mustangs third
serious threat. "Rusty" Allen
then drove down to the Bobcat
6 but again the Mustangs offen-
sive machine bogged down. Lam-
bert lost a yard, and on fourth
down Lambert was throjvn for a
7 yard loss after McMillan had
plunged to the three the play
previous.
The Bobcats took over the
ball on their own 10 and drove
88 yards before the Mustangs
held and took over after a fourth
down pass failed on the Sweet-
water 5. Passes from Harvey to
Left End Lynn Abbott sparked
the Bobcat attack.
Charles Cathey kicked out on
the Sweetwater 44 after the
Mustang ground play failed to
click and the Bobcats were head-
ed for the winning score. Gray,
Harvey and Mee carried for the
Bobcats with Mee scoring from
the 7. Again Wells made the
conversion ad the Bobcats lead
14-6 in the final quarter.
After the kick-off on a punt
exchange, Robert Dulaney re-
turned a Bobcat punt 22 yards
to the San Angelo 33. Choc
Walker passed to Morris Hin-
shaw for 13 yards. McMillan
then drove over right tackle and
ran to the two before he was
tackled. McMillan then shot al
short aerial to Lambert in the
right flat and Lambert scored.)
Ronemus missed the conversion
and the Bobcats were the win-
ners 14-12 as the time was
[running out.

Thompson's 12 Pointer
Deer hunters continue to pour
in with reports or good luck-
maybe because that is the only
stories we get to hear—and the
largest we've seen thus far was
killed by W. H. Thompson who
returned Friday night with u 12
pointer.
His hunting companion, Pat
Cathey, bagged a 0 point buck.
They were nunting in the Dela-
ware Mountains near Pecos, on
the KC Ranch. They reported
deer was not too plentiful as
the weather had been dry there.
* * *
Paul Cain s 3 Pointer
Contrasting luck was reported
by Paul Cain who brought in a
3 pointer. Paul was in a party
from Hermleigh consisting of h.
M. Murphy and Charlie vVhite,
both bagged 2, Wess Locket,
Floyd Merket and Bill Kimzey.
Kimzey bagged the largest of
the party, a tu2 pound 10 point
buck. Tne hunt took place near
Mason in Mason County and
plenty of deer was reported. Mr.
Cain said that when they took
their deer out of the locker that
killed deer there totaled in the
1100's.
* * *
Earl Jones Kills Buck
Earl Jones returned from a
hunt with relatives to Little
Brady Creek in McCullough
County with an 8 point bucK.
The party killed 3 deer dhd 2
turkeys during the hunt.
The thrill ot the kill by Mr.
Jones was the fact that tne deer
was killed only an hour before he
Was to come norne and after he
had almost given up. He was
using a .22 hornet and made the
kill at 180 yards.

Before a hand full of brave
football fans Friday night in
Mustang Bowl the Roscoe Plow-
boys defeated the Snyder Tigers
32-G in a hotly contested 8-A
game during the worst football
weather seen here this season.
Offensive play was closer than
the score would indicate al-
though the Plowboys were def-
initely the better team. The Ti-
gers combined a good passing at-
tack with their running despite
the wet weather to make them a
dangerous team.
Roscoe kicked off to Snyder
and forced the Tigers to punt
on the first series of downs. The
Plowboys then came into posses-
sion of the ball on their own 48.
In five plays the Plowboys had
scored. Bobby Zetzman cut over
left tackle and raced to the end
zone from the 20 yard line for
the score. James Shuler missed
the conversion.
Roscoe again kicked off to the
Tigers who took over on their
own 31. A third down Tiger pass
was intercepted by Harold Du-
val! who raced 35-yards down
the east sidelines before being
pulled in on the Snyder 5. Shu-
ler scored from there. Shuler
faked a kick for the point and
ran over to bring the first quar-
ter score at 13-0.
Snyder took the third Roscoe
kick on their 10 and worked it
up to the mid-field stripe before
Tiny Moore was forced to kick.
The ball rolled out on the Roscoe
7-yard line. The Plowboys
turned on the steam and rolled
the 93 yards to score. Zetzman
did the honors from the 0 yard
line. The try for point was no
good.
The fourth kick-off was fum-
bled by Snyder and the Plow-
boys were again set up in Tiger
territory as Roscoe recovered on
the Tiger 23. Duvall paced the
Plowboys drive and scored from
the Tiger 1. Shuler converted.
The Tigers came back fight-
ing and passed their way for 63
yards on 4 completed passes out
of 5 thrown by Don Everett but
time ran out when the Tigers
picked up a first on the Roscoe
19 and the half ended with the
Plowboys leading 26-0.
Roscoe ran and passed their
way 64 yards before losing the
ball to open the second half for
their fifth score. A 33 yard pass
play from Shuler to Harold
Haynes aided in the Plowboy
touchdown. Shuler made the
counter from the Snyder 4. Zetz-
man's kick for point was no
good.
Earlv in the 4th quarter Sny-
der scored on a 53 yard drive
which was climaxed by a pass
pjav from Everett to Jack Gor-
'rflan for S yards and the score.
George Richardson's kick for
point was no good.
Another 73 yard Roscoe drive
was halted on the Snyder 3
yard line in the third quarter.
The Tigers were harassed with
fumbles which found them los-
ing the ball J times during the
soggy affair.

New York Waiters
Learn Smooth, Sate
Way Ot Diplomacy
NEW YORK. Nov. 22, (UP)—
Some rather odd tilings happen
in Manhattan's after dark spots
and a head waiter has to be a
diplomat-
But even so he makes an oc-
casional mistake. Like the man
at the Big Town's plush Vanitay
Fair, who apparently misunder-
stood when he noticed a lady at
one table.
The gal had missed her gloves
just as she was leaving.Mumbling
something unded her breath,
she hurried back to the table
and began hunting for them.
They weren't in sight, so she
lifted the tablecloth and began
peering around underneath.
That's where the waiter spot-
ted her. He rushed over, stuck
his head under the table, too,
and said:
"Pardon me, madame, but your
escort is over there by the door.
Not under the table."

WORCESTER, Mass. (UP) —
Worcester's public works depart
ment is one of the first munici-
pal agencies other than fire and
police departments to have a
shortwave radio system. The
S8,000 system was installed in
the department's trucks and au-

Virgil "Dugie" Turner
* * *
'Dugie' Turner Is
One of HSU's Most
Outstanding Backs
ABILENE, Nov. 22, (Spl.)—
Following an example set by
his famed brother, "Bulldog,"
Virgil "Dugie" Turner of Sweet-
water is one of the most out-
standing backfield men on the
Cowboy squad of Hardin- Sim-
mons University.
"Dugie" has not to any mea-
sure attempted to rest on his
famous brother's laurels. Play-
ing from the fullback position,
"Dugie" has romped to 364 yards
in 77 carries, an average of 4.7
yards per effort.
Turner was one of the most
outstanding men in the Cowboy's
1.S-0 romp over the Muckers of
Texas Mines in their fourth
Border Conference victory of
tiie current season. Although
his ball carrying in the Mines
contest was noteworthy, his
greatest contribution to the loop
game was as a linebacker on
defense.
Playing just two yards be-
hind the defensive right tackle,
"Dugie" consistently stopped
up any appearing gaps in his
side of the line and broke
through on several occasions to
trap Ore Digger ball carriers at
or behind the line of scrimmage.
A veteran letterman from the
1946 season, Turner is only a
sophomore student at Hardin-
,Simmons and has two more
years of eligibility remaining
with the Cowboys before he joins
the ranks of ex-students.
Turner will be on hand Satur-
day, November 29 when the
Cowboys meet Texas Tech in a
game featured as the champion-
ship game of the season for the
Cactus loop. Both teams are un-
defeated in conference play and
the winner of Tech's Homecom-
ing game will be conference
champs.
HOME TOWN STUFF
FREDERICK, Okia. (UP)—
The whole town listened in
when Frederick's high school
eleven battled Duncan in an a-
way game. A loud-speaker con-
nected by a leased telephone
wire to the Duncan stadium gave
home-bound fans a play-by-play
account of the game. All they
had to do was to sit in their cars
in the downtown district and
listen to the local Quarterbacks
Club announcer.
