Forty-One On Hand At
Football Practice Aug. 15
Forty-one sore and muscle-
weary iboys were working hard
this week as football practice op-
ended Monday morning bright and
early under Coaches Jack Mere-
dith and Bill Carmack. Coaches
Nolan Poteet and Joe Spann were
also on hand to work with 19 fresh-
man players.
Fans will get their first look at
the Panther squad in action Tues-

will hold a scrimmage session with
Spring Lake.
The squ^d has been practicing
from 7:30 to 10 a.m. mornings and
6:30 to 9 nights.
Coach Meredith said the boys
were short on speed and experi-
ence this year and that a number
of sophomores would see action.
However, Meredith was pleased
with the way the boys had been
working in practice sessions and
said he had a gang that “wants to
play football”.
Seven returning lettermen are
out this year — Ronald Jay and
Bill Addington, backs; and Bob
Medlin, Carroll Bentley, Richard
Smith, Mike Smith and Kenneth
Jay on the line.
The team is working hard to get
in shape for the first game Sept.

Fateful Fifth Ends
Little League
Tourney Plans
Panhandle Little Leaguers had
the “roof cave in” in the fifth inn-
ing of their second tourney game
at Stinnett over the weekend, and
before they could get unscrambled
Stinnett Little Leaguers had run
across 14 runs to insure an 18-10
victory. Harold Rapp’s Skelly-
town nine, behind the pitching of
Rickey Paul and Allen Aubrey,
clinched the tourney champion-
ship with wins over Stratford,
Groom and then Stinnett in the fi-
nals.
Panhandle got off to a good start
by taking a 9-7 victory over White
Deer Friday night. Saturday morn-
ing they faced the Stinnett nine
and the game was breezing along
3- 2 in favor of Stinnett until the
fateful top of the fifth inning.
Junior Choate started on the
mound for Panhandle and took
the victory with the help of relief
stints by Johnny Boyles and Bob
Collins.
With Larry Doss going all the
way for White Deer, Panhandle
was facing a pitcher who had
given them trouble all year. How-
ever, in the top of the first inning
the local club broke loose as Bob
Bulla reached first on an error and
Ron Collins sacrificed him to sec-
ond. Johnny' Boyles then lashed
out a single and Gary Bedding-
field slar^med a homerun to put
Panhandle out front 3-0. Bob Col-
lins got on via an error and later
scored on a wild pitch to make it
4- 0.
White Deer came back with one
in the first, three in the second,
one in the fifth and two in the
sixth, but Panhandle managed an-
other run in the second, one in
the third, two in the fifth and one
in the sixth.
In the Stinnett game, Panhandle
scored on a base on lulls to Bob
Collins and singles by Choate and
Buddy Lamon in the second. They
added one more in the third with
Bulla crossing the plate after be-
ing walked. After the 14-run inn-
ing by Stinnett, Panhandle came
back with four runs in the fifth and
four more' in the sixth to make a
final count of 18-10. Bob Collins
with a single and a triple and Bud-
dy Lamon with a single and a
double, were big guns for Panhan-
dle on the offense.
Bob Collins suffered the loss
after going into the fifth inning
and giving up 10 runs. Gary Bed-
jlingfield came in to finish off the
game.

Although the program is buiit
around the “better” boys, there

line with the program.
Mr. Noblitt ended his talk by
advising that fathers take a more
active interest in their children
and that parents teach their chil-

bilities and to learn the meaning
of the word “no”. He also conclud-
ed that most character develop-
ment has been completed by the
time the child enters school at
the age of six.
