Lines Will Average Same, But
Harvester Backs Much Heavier
Football forces of Sweetwater and Pampa high schools
will renew a rivalry Friday night at Pampa that last spark-
led in 1946 and 1947.
It will be the opening 1951 gridiron clash for both clubs—
Sweetwater of District 3A-1 and Pampa of District 4A-1.
Pampa, with only one non-letterman on its first offensive
team, will be the favorite.
In 1946, the Mustangs of
Sweetwater defeated the
Harvesters, 19 to 0. The fol-
lowing year Pampa drubbed
■the Ponies, 27 to 6.
Last year, the Harvesters won
10 straight games and lost in bi-
district to state champion Wich-
ita Falls.
Two regulars on the Pampa
te&m will not get to see action
agrinst Sweetwater Friday
night. End Jimmy Cook has a
ruptured blood vessel in his
right leg, while Buddy Cock-
rell, 205-pound tackle, is out
with a twisted knee.
But, regardless, the Harvest-
ers will have lettermen at
every post except center, where
a 200-pounder, Tommy Sells,
should take care of things.
Quarterback Cudney
Leading the Pampa attack
will be all-district quarterback
De Wey Cudney, a 170-pounder.
Operating from the straight T,
Cudney is a fine ball handler,
runner and passer.
Other backfielders are Left
Halfback Bill Davis, 170; Right
Halfback Darrell Wilson, 165;
and Fullback John Young, 175.
The Pampa backfield averages
170 pounds.
On the Harvester line, besides
Center Sells:
Don Burns, 154, and Roy Pool,
165, ends; Jerry Walker, 205,
and Tollie Hutchens, 170, tack-
les; Charles Ely, 180, and Billy
McPherson, 170, guards.
The Pampa line averages 177.
Sweetwater will be handicap-
ped by lack of experience.
Only lettermen on the Mus-
tang squad are Center Lloyd
Ware, 175, and Ends Charles
Wilson, 165, and Derle Rudd,
172. Wilson was a defensive
halfback last season.
Other Pony linemen are J. W.
Patten, 220, and Clifford Wilson,
185, tackles; Ira Hill, 165, and
Preston Dill, 160, guards. The of-
fensive Sweetwater line averages
•177 pounds.
^In the Mustang backfield: Joe
Smith," *1<B5, or Joe Feagan, 165,
quarterback; James Butler, 140,
left halfback Don Reagan, 160,
right halfback; and Mary Bish-
op, 180, fullback. The Sweetwa-
ter secondary averages 151
pounds.
Going in on defense for the
Mustangs are Jack Leonard,
185; Billy Stone, 185; Hal Byrd,
170; and Angel Olvera, 165.
The probable offensive line-
ups:
SWEETWATER MUSTANGS
Left end — Charles Wilson,
165; right end—Derle Rudd,
172.
Left tackle—J. W. Patten,
220; right tackle—Clifford Wil-

Fans Run Wild
To See Fight
By United Press
Harlem's Ray Robinson re-
gained the world's middleweight
boxing championship from Ran-
dy Turpin of England at New
York's Polo Grounds last night
in the most secretive sports
event the world has ever known
As a result there was a riot
in Chicago, storming of gates
in New York and confusion the
world over.
So great was the interest in
the fight that the British Broad-
casting Corporation defied the
radio broadcasting ban which the
International Boxing Club, the
promoter, had placed on it.
Never have so many fans tried
to see or hear a sports event,
never were so many disappoint-
ed. The privileged few were the
61,270 who paid their way into
the Polo Grounds and the 33,800
who were able to jam their way
into the 13 theaters televising
the fight.
So great was the demand for
tickets at the Polo Grounds,
home of the baseball Giants, and
at the televising theaters that
scenes unparalleled in the Amer-
ican sports scene resulted.
At the State-Lake Theater in
Chicago, a crowd of 1,500 smash-
ed three heavy plate glass doors
in the entrance and surged into
the-theater. Many of them did-,
n't have tickets, but they were
inside and took what seats they
could find.
The few entrances to the Polo
Grounds which were opened to
ticket holders were so jammed
that the crowd lost patience
Some even climbed up over the
bleacher walls and dropped 15
feet to the ground to get inside
the park.
Once inside, there were so
many among the 15,000 persons
who bought $30 ringside tickets
on the infield of the famous ball
park that the three entrances to
the infield could not accommo-
date them. Two of the entrances
were so narrow that the ticket
holders had to line up single file.
Those held up in the slow mov-
ing lines decided to take mat-
ters in their own hand. They
tore down the chicken wire
which had been erected to shut
off other entrances from the
grandstands so they could leap
over the locked gates. Others
climbed on top of the two base-
ball team dugouts to leap from
them six feet to the infield turf.
Both outside and inside the po-
lice tried to stop the storming
jams, But finally, gave up; in dis-
gu.pt. "" ■

Spence, Dukes
Defeat Lamesa
By United Press
The West Texas-New Mexico
League playoffs go into their
fourth games tonight with Al-
buquerque and Lubbock holding
leads.
Albuquerque's Dukes took a
2-1 edge over Lamesa last night
bq downing the Lbbos, 13 to 11,
in 11 innings. The game started
wiidly, but settled to an 11-to-ll
deadlock from the seventh in-
ning until Albuquerque scored
two runs in the 11th. Bob Spence
was the winning pitcher.
The Lubbock Hubbers moved
ahead of Abilene with a 4-to-2
victory. The Hubs scored three
runs in the first inning and held
on lor their second win in three
games.
The schedule remains un-
changed tonight in the best-of-
seven series. Albuquerque is at
Lamesa and Abilene is at Lub-
bock.

Weekly Winners
Hoping to uphold our .500 won-
lost percentage of last season,
we once again present our week-
ly "Top Ten" high school foot-
ball winners.
The opening week's predictions
are always a "shot in the dark"
since one has nothing upon
which to base his selections.
You can compare scores later
in the season and have a pretty
fair idea of the strength of the
two opposing clubs prior to their
clash.
Realizing the pitfalls that
await our predictions for the
first week, we nevertheless be-
lieve (after much coin tossing)
that the final results will be
something like this:
Sweetwater 13, Pampa 7.
Lubbock 14, Plainview fl.
Midland 7, San Angelo 6.
Abilene 20, Arlington Heights
7.
Lamesa 21, Fort Worth Paschal
12.
Waco 12, Temple 6.
Wichita Falls 14, Vernon 0.
Odessa 28, Houston Reagan 7.
Baytown 14, Houston Lamar 7.
Port Arthur 20, Texarkana 14.
—SS—
That first choice — The Mus-
tangs over Bampa — is strictly
a "loyalty" guess.
On paper, we can't possibly see
how the Sweetwater team can
stay on the same field with the
Harvesters.
Pampa has the experience and
the material to sweep Sweetwa-
ter under by two touchdowns.
Among the Harvester veterans
is the all - district quarterback,
Dewey Cudney.
We feel that the Mustangs
could handle Pampa later in the
season, but it'll take time for
Pat Gerald's youngsters to de-
velop a winning combination.
They'll get rougher as the sea-
son progresses, but they won't
be able to hit their peak until
after the first three games —
Pampa, Abilene and Lubbock.
Anyway, the Ponies may put
up an interesting fight Friday
night at Pampa. With a whole
lot of luck, they could pull an
upset.
We'll shut up now since the
above observations should take
ample care of anything that hap-
pens to the Sweetwater team—
win, lose or draw.

"B" Game Saturday
The football season opens of-
ficially at Mustang Bowljthis Sat-
urday night when • the Sweet-
water "B" team plays the Lub-
bock "B" squad.
The game will begin at 8 p. m.
• Among the Sweetwater play-
ers will be two boys who could
probably break into the "A"
team lineup except for the el-
igibility ruling.
One is J. B. Moss, who trans-
ferred here from Abilene. The
big youth plays end. He could
have made Abilene's first team
this season.
The other is Quarterback Dal-
vin Jordan, who moved here last
fall from Carlsbad, N. M. Both
Jordan and Moss are juniors this
year.

Giants, Red Sox Keep
Pennant Hopes Alive
Introducing... Life Bras with
The New "Triple Fit"
By CARL MJNDQUIST
NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (UP)—
There's not much chance of any-
body paying attention to base-
ball today after the big Ray Rob-
inson-Randy Turpin fight, but
this has to do with a couple of
ball clubs that don't have much
chance anyway — the Red Sox
and the Giants.
Still you can't count 'em out.
Oilers Nip
Colts, 2-1
The odds favored Odessa and
Roswell today to eliminate San
Angelo and Big Spring in the
Longhorn League's first round
Shaughnessy playoff.
Odessa holds a 3-1 edge over
San Angelo in the best-of-seven
series, while Roswell leads Big
Spring by 3-2. The Colts must
win the three remaining games
to advance into the second
round, while the Broncs must
defeat the Rockets twice straight
at Roswell.
Last night, Odessa nipped San
Angelo, 2 to 1, while Big Spring
kept hopes alive by beating Ros-
well by the same margin, 2-1.
Eddie Johnson stopped the
Colts on five hits in registering
the Odessa victory. The winning
run came across in the bottom
of the ninth inning when Indio
Beltran walked Ken Cluley with
the bases ioaded to force in Eloy
Barrera. "
Kenny Peacock, Barrera and
Eddie Johnson had all singled
to load the bases, although the
Colts managed to cut Peacock off
at the plate, with Floyd Martin
reaching first on the fielder's
choice.
Manager AI Monchak's wild
throw to first base in a double-
play attempt enabled Big Spring
to. score the run that beat Ros-
well.
With one away in the sixth
inning, the score deadlocked at
1-1, Danny Concepcion and Bert
Baez drew walks. Monchak hand-
led Witty Quintana's ground bail
easily, tagging Baez enroute to
second, but the Rocket skipper's
throw to first was wild and Con-
cepcion scored on the error.
It was a pitching duel between
the Bronc's Mike Fornielas and
Tom Sawyer of the Rockets.
The line scores:
San Angelo 100 000 000—1 5 3
Odessa 100 000 001—2 S 1
Beltran and Moore: Johnson and Cas-
tro.
Things certainly went their way
yesterday and as long as mir-
acles do occur, just take a look
at their chances. The Red Sox
picked up a big half game yes-
terday by going out and winning
a tight, 2 to 1, decision over the
Tigers in 10 innings and they
now trail league leading Cleve-
land by 4% games and the run-
ner - up Yankees by 3Vi.
The Giants didn't even have
to flex one muscle to pick up
half a game on the Dodgers.
They were rained out in St. Lou-
is while the sixth place Reds be-
friended them and defeated the
Brooks, G to 3, on Lloyd Merrl-
man's three-run triple in the
seventh inning. That left Brook-
lyn 5% games to good and kept
their magic number at 11, mean-
ing that any combination of 11
Dodger victories and Giants de-
feats, clinches the flag.
The Giants have to make up
that rained out game today in
the first half of the unprecedent-
ed three-team double header at
St. Louis. As soon as the Giants
pull out after the afternoon
game, the Braves come in for
a regularly scheduled night con-
test. That never happened before
—but there are some mighty
strange goings-on in this flag
race.
In other National League
games yesterday, the Pirates de-
feated the Phillies, 8 to 6, as
Ralph Kiner hit his 39th homel-
and drove in four runs to go
past the 100 R. B. I. total for
the fifth straight year, while
Max Surkont pitched the Braves
to a four-hit, 7 to 3 victory over
the Cubs.
In the one American League
game, Lefty Billy Pierce of the
White Sox blanked the Senators
on six hits, 3 to 0, for his 13th
victory.
