Basketball Squads Are
Preparing For Campaign
Basketball takes up immedia-
tely at Paducah schools as they
emerge from a trying football
season. High school Dragons be-
gan working out Monday.
“We have some tall boys who
look like good prospects but it’s
really too early to tell,” stated
Coach Higdon.
Football players got a couple
of extra days rest and did not
begin working out until today,
Wednesday. Seven letterjnen
are back from last year’s squad.
Returning Dragon lettermen
are Seniors Coye Hutchison,
Thomas Turner, Gerald Northcutt
and Charles Hobbs together with
Juniors Bill Cartwright, Richard
Crider and Kenneth Buckley.
Others reporting for drills are
Charles Beatty, Sonny Grant,
Norman. Beauchamp, Jack Hen-
derson, Sam Wright, Douglas
Yarbrough, Donald McCain, Tru-
ett Reed, Bobby Tomison, Hal
Sandefur, Lyndon Rogers, Jackie
Powell, Jackie Tye, Sammy
James, David Morris, Donald
Hurt and Glen Garth.
Higdon hopes to schedule a
game for his cagers by December
v> 2. Three invitations to tourna-
ments have already been accept-
ed at Matador December 9-11,
Lakeview December 18-20, and
Quanah January 8-10.
Dragonettes Also
The Dragonettes will also play
at the first two and will com-
pete in a tourney at Memphis
during the Quanah matches.
The Dragonette girls team has
been working out since school re-
opened in September under the
coaching of Miss Margurite Ma-
this. . , . ,
With two good seasons behind
them, Paducah’s feminine court
representatives are expected to
cause trouble in the district
again this season. .
Only one player, Juamta
Northcutt, is not returning from
the 1952 team which finished
second in district competition.
Using a platoon system, the
Dragonette squad stacks up this
way: Centers—Rose Marie Ellis,
Shirley Cross; Forwards—Jo Ann
Ellis, Rose Marie Ellis, Peggy
Mints, Pat Hutchison, Nynvia
Seal, Barbara Bayne; Guards—
Kara Jean Wall, Barbara Hamil-
ton, Mildred Guinn, Glenda Flip-
pin, Shirley Cross, Nadiah Seal;
Substitutes—Sue Sandlin, Geral-
da Whatley, Billie Lou Branscum,
Lois Hobbs, Christel Gotcher.
And the Lizards
Over 25 boys are taking part’
in the junior high Lizards pracr
tice sessions. Coach Coleman
Nichols will cut the squad to 10
to 13 boys before opening the
basketball season.
“I’ve spotted three or four boys
who look like possible starters,”
Nichols says. Like his high
school colleague, he is unfamiliar
with the boys’ abilities and must
watch their development, how-
ever.
They will enter some match
play but get most of their con-
tests in tournaments, according
to Principal Ray Felty.
Goodwin girls have been work-
ing out for a volley ball team for
six weeks. Like the Lizards, they
will also enter tournaments.
Bats do not lay eggs, but give
birth to their young, alive.
ROCKETS RIP
PADUCAH 58-0
CLOSING YEAR
Before the furious assault of
Douglas Duncan and lesser
lights, the Paducah defense
cracked and let Wellington
through with a 58-0 victory.
Duncan, a wild bull with the
ball, ran 108 yards excluding 53
extra he added as a pass receiv-
er. He accounted for four Sky-
rocket touchdowns.
Five players—Paducah’s Carl
Black and John Campbell, Well-
ington’s Floyd Hood, Jerry Drum-
mond and Phil Handley—were
sent to the showers for roughing,
unsportsmanlike conduct and
other infractions in the high ten-
sion contest.
Blocking for Paducah simply
failed to materialize past scrim-
mage and Hershell Thaxton’s 26
yard scamper was the Dragon’s
longest gain.
Six of 12 Dragon passes found
their mark for 55 yards. The Sky-
rockets put a stalled offense back
in business several times by
completing eight of nine throws,
for 148 yards.
Starting slow, the Rockets went
over only once in the first period
when Iron Man Duncan hit off
left tackle for 11 yards. Doolen
Starkey converted.
A blocked punt on the Dragon
30 in the second quarter soon
gave Harold Moore the chance
to ram three yards to six points
and an 80-yard drive minutes
later ended with a one-yard
quarterback sneak over by Lon-
nie Woods. Starkey kicked the
first extra.
Another blocked punt on Padu-
cah’s 26 soon had Duncan ram-
ming 11 yards between guard
and tackle to score in the third
period. Clyde Ingram cracked
center for 36 yards and another.
Wood passed to Jimmy Leggitt
who lateraled to Moore on a 15-
yard gainer for another TD be-
fore the teams changed ends.
Another pass 25 yards to star
End Charlie Johnson had the
same result soon after. Starkey
converted the latter.
Duncan shot five yards off right
tackle and Johnson passed 17
yards to the big fullback for the
final two scores. Starkey kicked
the final extra point.
Coin Toss Places
Bi-District Game
In Bobcat Stadium
A flip of the coin Sunday plac-
ed the bi-district contest between
4-AA representative Seymour and
this conference’s winning Bob-
cats at Childress.
The game will begin at 2:30
tomorrow, Thanksgiving, in Bob-
cat Stadium.
Seymour Coach Marshall Gear-
hart called the toss incorrectly as
Charles Churchill, Childress men-
tor, tossed. Other decisions con-
cerning the game were made at
the meeting of officials of both
schools.

Bobcats Win Race,
Skyrockets Place,
Irishmen Show
It is all over but the shooting,
the shouting and the panegyrics
at the Childress Index.
Childress flattened Shamrock’s
Irishmen with a thumping 21-0
score and won the district by vir-
tue of one first down over Well-
ington earlier in the season.
Memphis, rated a power earlier
in the season, was never in the
running and barely managed to
beat Raymond Troutman’s un-
derweight inexperienced scrap-
pers for a single victory.
Wellington made a good show-
ing with Douglas Duncan finish-
ed a strong second. Shamrock
stayed within sight of the money
until the final game before fall-
ing to a mediocre 50-50 record.
A LaNoel Castleberry pass to
Bill Collyer from the 10 in the
second quarter put Childress up
on the Irish. Perry Morren con-
verted as he was to do twice
again.
Castleberry to Morren was the
second pay-off pass in the third
covering 22 yards. An Irish fum-
ble on the Shamrock 22 gave
Castleberry a chance to go over
on the first play from scrimmage
and that was that.
Shamrock fell apart in the sec-
ond half after stiff eye-to-eye
competition in the first.
