AMARILLO—The Golden Sand-
ies won their third straight Texas
Interscholaiiic League title Satur-
day, defeating the Kerrville Ant-
lers, 19-6, in the final game.
To be more accurate, the Irish
won Amarillo’s third schoolboy
crown.
Seventeen thousand fans, and the
gallant Tivy Antlers were startled
twice by one Michael Patrick Sween-
ey, Sandy right; end, who wrapped
his stringbean form around the
kicking foot of Chambliss, Tivy back,
as the Kerrville youngster attempt-
ed to punt.
Once Sweeney picked up the ball
and trotted 5 yards to score the
first Sandy iouchdown. The next
time, Pat Toombs, Amarillo cen-
ter. retrieved the blocked ball be-
hind Tivy’s goal line for a touch-
down.
Outplay Champions
The fighting, gallant “ironmen”
from the South Texas hill country
outplayed the team that beat them
for the championship.
Kerrville marked up 1G first downs
to Amarillo’s seven, gained one yard
less than Amarillo's rushing total
of 159 yards and outclassed the
Sandies in the air, 121 to 23 yards.
Twice the Tivy Antlers were
within striking distance, the ball
going over to the Sandies on the
three-inch line and once on the
six-yard stripe.
Blocked Kicks, The Difference
The two blocked kicks by Mike
Pat "Irish” Sweeney was the dif-
ference between victory and defeat
for the defending champions of
Coach Blair Cherry.
The firs; came midway of the
first period with Chambliss at-
tempting to kick „.i his 25. Sweeney
knifed around right end, threw his
arms around Chambliss’ kicking foot
and the ball bounced backward.
Sweeney picked it up on the 5-var,'
line and staggered across for the
first score.
Ten minutes la.ter he stormed in
with the same wild rush and dupli-

RC3COE. (Spl.) — In a triple-
header sport program here Satur-
day night the Roscoe All-Stars de-
feated an independent cage team
from Loraine, 30-13; the Roscoe
F lowboys last, 35-12. to a Colorado
all-star basketball aggregation, and
the Plowgirls' volleyball sextet won,
15-3. 15-3, from a team composed
of Plowgirls.
In the all-star game, three Cole-
man brothers at one time were in
the lineup, with Tonto Coleman,
assistant football coach at San An-
gelo steadying his youngers broth-
ers, Walker and Carl.
Big Tonto played center for the
all-stars and turned in a sensa-
tional performance.
Finley Stars
In the Colorado-Plowboy game,
Finley, a guard, turned in high
scoring honors when he bagged the
bucket for a total of 20 points. His
guard mate. Adrian, was runner up
with 15. Wallace Grag, elongated
Flowboy star, was high scorer for
the losers, getting nine tallies.

Financially, the 193G gridiron sea-
son at Newman High was the best
since 1932. official figures released
Saturday by Superintendent Ross
S. Covey reveal. At home and
abroad the Sweetwater Mustangs
played to 15,033. This total includes
many who were admitted on tick-
ets which were paid for out of the
athletic fund, such as visiting high
school and junior high school
teams, sports writers and others
during the season.

We can argue lor months per-
haps on why the season was the
test financially in four years and
perhaps never reach a conclusion.
But to those of us who yelled for
a lighted stadium, we just naturally
are going to claim that the lights
did the trick. Some will argue that
ttie Ponies had the best team since
1932 — but when you look at the re-
cord you find that only team they
defeated this year that they didn't
last was Roscoe.

And when you say dial if all the
games had been played in the af-
ternoon rather than at night that
attendance would have been just as
good — we who were for the lights
will point out that two afternoon
games in which the Ponies took
part failed to draw as many as did
one night game.

Horses To Be Scarce By 1940
FARGO, N. D. (U.R)-The low point
in the downward trend in the num
ber of horses and mules on U. S.
farms is expected to be reached in
1940, according to husbandry ex-
perts at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College.
Mr. Covey’s attendance figures
show that 3,524 customers were
admitted on tickets to the San An-
gelo game. The second highest fi-
gure, an afternoon game with Abi-
lene, was 2,610, and that third high-
est was to the Big spring game,
Thanksgiving afternoon in Big
Spring, when 2,403 were admitted
on tickets.

13-7, SATURDA1
And Roy% Riegels Wasn’t
Blame; Neither Scored
In First Half
ATLANTA. — The California
Bears fell before the rambling
iwv
wreck of Oeorgia Tech Saturday
13-7, in a post-season game.
And Roy Riegels, the California
center who ran 59 yards In the
wrong direction In one of the classic
“boners” of th gridiron, cannot be
blamed for the Golden Bears de-
feat. •
Riegels was present and watched
the Californians go down in defeat
in the second half. It was In 1929
in the Rose Bowl game between
Georgia Tech and California that
Riegels made his famous bobble
and Tech won 8-7, Tech finally
converting the miscue into a safe-
ty.
Saturday’s win for the Georgians
was the first since that memorable
afternoon.
Neither team scored In the first
haft, but both opened up in the
second period with both clubs us-
ing razzle-dazzle tactics to score.
