Bowl Debut Tonight
le blast, a trumpet fan-
cheering crowds — It's
shoDrspiIls time again!
^Jater will unveil its 1952
MoHlhine tonight at 8 o'clock
istang Bowl as the mighty
play host to the Level-
os.
o teams will clash under
•ather conditions for their
f the new pigskin season.
Pat Gerald's Ponies are
to take the opener but the
(,a with their pound-packed
p in a good position to stage
rt.
Double Duty
ntageous for the local team
fact that each gridder on the
'ill have a capable substitute
for action on the bench,
^ry position offers at least
^experienced players for the
Liangs. Freddie Armstrong
^Joe Feagan will alternate in
ttuarterback slot—each a seri-
threat to the opposition. Don
igan and Theron Dorsey will aid
isiderably in the backfield al-
mgh rjeither is listed with to-
ght's probable starters.
The Mustang's No. 1 threat to
he underdog Lobos will be James
Sutler whose gifted running high-
ighted the 1951 football campaign
for the Sweetwater squad.
Butler, who gently presses the
scales at only 137 pounds, is swift
and shifty and should cause much
agony to the Levelland defensive
unit. His slightness makes him
aigle. and hard to pin down. But-
ler will begin the game tonight in
right half position.
Angel Olvera, a junior letterman,
should also render assistance and
add to the list of Mustang tallies
as he mans the fullback slot. Eu-
gene Kouri, another speedster, is
slated to go in the game as right
half.
Probable offensive starters on
line for the initial conflict will be
Charles Cupp, center; Frank Glass
(co-captain) and J. B. Moss,
guards; J. W. Patten and Jack
Leonard, tackles; and Fox Byrd
i co-captain) and Mark Bishop,
ends.
Reserves
Others who are scheduled to par-
ticipate in the non-conference tus-
sle are Center Jack Summerville,
Tackle Alan Thompson, End Cloyd
Shillings, Tackle Billy Stone, Guard
Clifford Wilson, End Dickie Amos,
End Dell Greer, End Jackie Law-
rence, End Harold Gren, Tackle
Red McElroy, Guard John C. Mor-
ris, Tackle Joe McCutchen, Back
Coy Berry, Back Ken Young, Full-
back Buster Davison, and Fullback
Glwyn Parish.
The Lobos, under the able su-
pervision of Coach Truett Patten,
are one of the heaviest squads in
Class 2-A. The average weight of
their starting lineup is 175 pounds
while 170 pounds is the average
weight of the Mustang starters.
Eleven Levelland lettermen will
lead the Lobos in their lid-lifting
campaign. Included in this group
are four regulars from the 1951
club.
Both teams have undergone two
weeks of rigid training and the
gridiron thrills witnessed tonight
should be a good preview of the
1952 edition of the Mustangs.

Football Schedule
Most High School
Squads In Action
There were only scattered games
throughout the state's four top di-
visions Thursday night with Cedar
Bayou and Farmersville making
the most noise down in the lowest
bracket.
Cedar Bayou, a quarterfinalist
last year, powered its way to a
32-to-0 victory over Dickinson,
while Farmersville, which was
eliminated in the second round,
showed it still had the offensive
even if the defense leaked in beat-
ing Royse City 32 to 20.
In the lusty Class AAAA divi-
sion, a 1951 power, Houston Lamar,
barely got by Houston St. Thomas
12 to 7; Dallas Forest rallied to
beat Dallas Jesuit 32 to 18, and El
Paso High trounced El Paso Ca-
thedral 33 to 6.
Lufkin, a one-time perennial
threat now trying for a comeback,
beat Port Neches 13 to 6 in the
only Class AAAgame.
The spotlight Friday night will
swing to the coastal country for
two big games—Odessa at Port
Arthur and Texarkana at Bay-
town—but there's top-grade grid
fare spread throughout the state.
Class AAA champion Brecken-
ridge and runner-up Temple both
unveil their new editions Friday
night for the home folks—Brecken-
ridge against Big Spring and Tem-
ple against Denison.
In Class AAAA, two district fa-

Mike Garcia Wants
Shutout Victory
CLEVELAND, Sept. 12—UP—
Big Mike Garcia, whose 20th vic-
tory and third straight shutout put
the Cleveland Indians on the do or
step of first place, said Friday his
next aim is to shut out the Yan-
kees next Sunday.
The Tribe's "Big Bear" gave up
only two singles Thursday as he
whipped the Philadelphia A's, 1 to
0, and moved the Indians within
a half-game of the idle Yankees.
"It sure would be nice to shut out
the Yanks, wouldn't it?" asked
Garcia as he drank a soft drink
in the clubhouse.
To blank the Yanks would be
quite a feat, for Garcia now owns
a string of 28 scoreless innings.
The only Philadelphia batsman who
bothered him Thursday was first-
baseman Ferris Fain, who got both
hits to keep Garcia from entering
the "Hall of Fame" with his first
no-hitter. But the Big Bear wasn't
feeling sorry about missing that.
"I won, and that's all that mat-
ters now," he said with a shrug.
"If A1 (Manager A1 Lopez) wants
me to pitch Sunday, then I will."
A jubilant Lopez indicated that's
exactly what he has in mind.
"Mike has never looked better,"
Lopez pointed out. "He was very
strong against the Athletics and
seems fresh, even after nine in-
nings in the sun. Our money is on
Mike against the ianks."

By Staff Writer
The 1052 edition of the Sweetwa-
ter Mustang football team makes
its debut at Mustang bowl tonight
against the Levelland Lobos.
The outcome of the same de-
pends mostly upon the Sweetwater
youngsters' will to win. They have
power, speed and plenty of abili-
ty. If they fail to come through this
year, football is going to take a
setback in Sweetwater.
Tonight the field will be a little
heavy from recent rains. But this
should not be too much of a handi-
cap to the Mustangs, as Gerald
can field either a heavy charging,
or a light speedy backfield.
In the line for the Mustangs will
be a group of heavy boys who
should be able to stop the I-obos'
190 pound fullback in spite of the
fact he has an outstanding record
of gaining yardage whenever he
wishes.
Anyway you look at it the Mus-
tangs should win tonight's game
with little or no trouble. If they
fail, they are going to have a dif-
ficult time coming through with
district honors as, by all laws of
reasoning, they should.
Local fans are backing the lioys
100 per cent. It is hoped the boys
will recognize this fact and win to-
night's game as a starter.
The Sweetwater Reporter and
and entire staff wishes Bud Wor-
sham, who is now a sports writer
for the Wichita Falls Record-News,
all the luck in the world in his new
setup. Although we hated to see
him leave the Reporter staff we
are happy that he has received a
well-earned promotion. We predict
he will go far in the sports writing
field.
Shreveport Bops
Cats, 7-2, In
Texas Playoffs
Shreveport, which ended the reg-
ular season in third place, and
Oklahoma City, which finished in
fourth, had a leg up Friday for
upsets in first-round Texas League
Shaughnessy Playoffs.
Shreveport pulled within one win
of an early round wrapup by beat-
ing Fort Worth's Cats 7 to 2 Thurs-
day night. Hugh Sooter pitched a
seven-hitter to give the Sports their
third straight victory. Cat Starter
Jim Melton was the loser.
At Oklahoma City, the Indians
tagged Jose Santiago for home-
runs in the sixth and seventh in-
nings for a 3 to 1 victory over the
Dallas Eagles and a 2-1 lead in
the playoffs. Ernie Groth started
for the Indians and was the vvin-
ner. Santiago absorbed the loss.
The Dallas hurler had a two-hit
shutout going until Joe Frazier led
off the sixth with his 15th homer
of the year, a 337-foot blow over
the right field fence.
Frank Shofer put the game in
the bag for Groth with a homer in
the seventh that also scored Tom-
my Lind. Groth struck out seven
and walked none.
The Sports took control early at
Shreveport. They rushed into a
quick three-run first inning lead
off James Melton and built it up
on his two successors, Dick McCoy
and Pete Mondorff.
Hugh Sooter, a four-time loser
to Fort Worth during the season
and never a winner over the Cats,
scattered seven Fort Worth hits
for his victory. He yielded an un-
earned run in the seventh and the
other Cat score was an eighth-in-
ning homer over the left-center
field fence by Odbert Hamric.

Injuries Hinder Some
Teams In SW Circuit
By UNITED PRESS
Injured knees, instead of spots,
swam before the eyes of Coach
Dutch Meyer of Texas Christian
Friday.
The knee jinx struck again Thurs-
day and at a tender spot. Friday,
with little more than a week to go
before his defending Southwest
Conference champions open the
1952 season against Kansas, the
Dutchman was faced with the
problem of filling the shoes of the
man who had been so adequate-
ly filling the shoes of the departed
Keith Flowers.
Bobby MeEashern, a 195-pound
former Austin high school defen-
sive star on whom Meyer had
hinged much hope, suffered a bad
knee injury Thursday when he was
blocked during scrimmage.
Meyer's Granger ghost, quarter-
back Gil Bartosh, already is
plagued with a recurrence of an
old knee injury and sophomore
Ronald Clinkscale called scrim-
mage plays Thursday from the
tailback slot.
Baylor's bears • were sent
through two long workouts in prep-
aration for the Wake Forest game
a week from Saturday. The injury
jinx finally got around to Coach
George Sauer, too, and reserve full-
back Wally Talbert was out of the
lineup Friday for an indefinite peri-
od with a shoulder injury.
Rice quarterback Dan Drake was
out at Kice with a virus infection
and Atchley Proctor, Buzzy Bryan
and Buddy Grantham worked in
his place as Neely worked the Owls
on downfield blocking.
At Dallas, Coach Rusty Russell
drilled the Southern Methodist
Mustangs on fundamentals after
sending them through nil offensive
scrimmage as soon as they re-
ported to the field Thursday.
SMU concentrated on blocking,
too, as the Ponies worked on run-
ning plays, principally off tackle
or trap maneuvers. During an aft-
ernoon shorts-clad passing session,
Sammy Stollcnwerck, Malcolm
Bowers, Hayes Gillam and Benton
Musselwhite did most of the throw-
ing.
Rocky To 'Bust Up'
Walton's Fight Style
GROSSINGER, N. Y., Sept. 12
—UP—Trainer Charley Goldman
promised Friday that Rocky iVlar-
ciano, the first "perpetual-motion"
heavyweight challenger in 33 years,
would befuddle the befuddler when
he meets Jersey Joe Walcott on
Sept. 23. ,
Little Charley, 64, explained that
Marciano would "bust up" Wal-
cott's style of fighting by bearing
down on him with a persistent,
ripping, tearing perpetual-motion
attack like that which Jack Demp-
sey used against big Jess Will.tljp
at Toledo in 1919. mj
Sitting in the living room of Mar-
ciano's white frame cottage at
Grossinger airport, bespectacled
Charley emphasized that 38-year-
old Walcott was a "cutey pie cham-
pion," who used side-steps, feints
and draws at long range to befud-
dle opponents.
But in the ring at Philadelphia s
Municipal Stadium, Marciano will
press Walcott with such a persis-
tent and deadly attack that the
champion will not be able to usr_i
his long-range manauvers, for the
simple reason "there'll be no day-
light between them."
Has Marciano the best perpetual-
motion attack of any heavyweight
since Dempsey?
"By far and away," replied Char-
ley. "He's just as persistent as
Henry Armstrong was when he was
winning all those titles, and Rocky
■—pound for pound—is a much more
dangerous puncher than Armstrong
was~ Rocky can take you out wit|
one punch from either fist."
Rotan To Tangle
With Lakeview
The Rotan Yellowhaminers will
open their 1952 football season Fri-
day night when they entertain the
Lakeview squad on their home
stomping grounds in Rotan at 8
o'clock. 9
Bad luck has settled among the
Yellowhammers, coaches reported,
as some of the first-string material
will not be able to participate in
the tangle tonight because of injur-
ies.
Ted Posey, who was expected to
add to the list of Yellowhammer
tallies tonight, will .lot enter in
the conflict bAause of illness that
he developed several days ago.
Phillies' Roberts
Wins 24th Game
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12—UP—
Star righthander Robin Roberts of
the Phillies owned a new distinction
Friday—he's the first National
League pitcher to win 24 games
| since Johnny Sain of the Braves
| did it in 1948.
Roberts gained No. 24 Thursday^
J night, a 3 to 2 decision over the®
I Cards. If he can win one more for
! 25, he'll be the first National
[ Leaguer to reach that figure since
I 1939 when Bucky Walters and Paul
! Derringer of the Reds won 27 and
j 25, respectively.
