Dragons To Open Basketball
Home Play With Spur Friday
Tomorrow night, Friday, the
Dragons will meet Spur’s basket-
ball Bulldogs for their home
non-conference opener in the Pa-
ducah high school gymnasium.
The “B” team game will begin
at 6 p. m., the Dragonettes will
play at approximately 7 and the
“A” team boys game will start
about 8 p. m.
Spur is reputed to be a strong
antagonist this season. The Bull-
dogs are practically all juniors
and seniors, according to reports.
Coach John Higdon has seven
returning lettermen to begin
building his squad around in
Seniors Coye Hutchison, Thomas
Turner^ Gerald Northcutt and
Charles Hobbs along with Juniors
Bill Cartwright, Richard Crider
and Kenneth Buckley.
The squad worked out two
days before Thanksgiving and
has been practicing all this week.
Higdon plans to have a traveling
squad of not more than 15 mem-
bers out of over 24 boys now out.
Dragonettes, coached by Miss
Margurite Mathis, have been
working out since the first of
the year. The team finished sec-
ond in district competition last
.season.
Miss Mathis plans to use a two
platoon system and has tenta-
tively settled on the following
possible starters and alternates.
Centers—Rose Marie Ellis, Shir-
ley Cross; Forwards—Jo Ann El-
lis, Rose Marie Ellis, Peggy
Mints, Pat Hutchison, Nynvia
Seal, Barbara Bayne.
Guards—Kara Jean Wall, Bar-
bara Hamilton, Mildred Guinn,
Glenda Flippin, Shirley Cross,
Nadiah Seal.
Lizard Basketball
Team Is Preparing
For New Season
Goodwin’s Lizard basketball
squad has been working out this
week after getting in only two
practice sessions late because of
the Thanksgiving holiday.
“Four or five boys look pretty
good, “states Coach Coleman
Nichols reviewing the prospects.
Since it is his first year as coach
here, Nichols had little idea of
the players’ capabilities before
drills.
The squad will be slashed to
15 members before the first
game, the junior high athletic
director said. Over 25 aspirants
are now working out on the
court.
Since there is no regular con-
ference schedule for '-junior bas-
ketball, Nichols is working to se-
cure games with a number of
nearby schools. Most of their
contests will be in tournaments,
however.
Dragonettes Win,
Dragons Look Good
In Carey Opener
The Dragonettes won and the
Dragons lost in their first basket-
ball try of the season at Carey
iTuesday night. The Paducah girls
'took their game 35-19 while the
boys fell 53-35.
A large number played, ac-
cording to coach, Miss Margurite
Mathis, in the girls game.
Peggy Mints shot the most
points for the girls with 10 to her
credit. Pat Hutchison followed
closely with seven on three field
goals and a free throw.
The Dragons looked very good
in spite of their defeat, accord-
ing to Coach John Higdon. With
a little more practice he believes
the team is going to give the
conference a run for their money.
Jerajd Northcutt scored 11
points for boys’ high point hon-
ors. Thomas Turner and Glen
Garth tied with six apiece for
second. The Dragons started slow
but got up some steam in the
second half to score 22 points.

Blackhawks Bow To
Tennis Shoe Shod
Whirlwinds 13-7
After spotting the vaunted
Phillips Blackhaws to a seven
point first half lead, Floydada
backs swept over them in tennis
shoes for a 13-7 victory in Amar-
illo Friday.
The triumphant Whirlwinds
will meet the Wildcats at Chil-
dress for the regional AA play-
off tomorrow afternoon, Friday.
Second touchdown scored
against the Winds all season, the
Phillips lead loomed big until
their opponents’ backfield return-
ed shod in the rubber soled
footwear for the final round.
Billy Carmack then drove over
from the one and Adrian Helms
from the 10 to win. Helms kicked
the final point. The Blackhawks
scored their lone TD on a pass.
Paducah’s Giants
Of Year 1914 Win
Panhandle Crown
Paducah claimed the Panhan-
dle championship in the early
days of football here, 1914, by
going undefeated a complete sea-
son. Three teams — Memphis,
Quanah and Vernon—fell to the
team then called the Giants.
State champion Fort Worth re-
fused to play the Paducah stal-
warts toward the end of the sea-
son on the grounds that too
many players were on the injur-
ed list.
Sydney “Colt” Goodwin was
the star in the Paducahians’ 19-0
victory over Memphis here mak-
ing two touchdowns, according
to “the Bounder,” first PHS an-
nual. Goodwin was also team
captain.
Quanah got into a squabble
during the contest there and the
team stalked off the field angrily
late in the game. Result—a 1-0
forfeit to the Giants.
High points of play in that
contest were a 90-yard run by
Goodwin and a 30-yard pass
catch by Marion “Cheesy” Clary.
The Vernon game which the
Giants oozed through 13-9 was
the pay-off. The Longhorns came
here with only one loss to Amar-
illo 7-3 after beating “every
team in West Texas” says the
Bounder.
In the first quarter, Goodwin
passed 20 yards to Clary ending
a drive with a score. Goodwin
converted but in the second per-
iod the Steer’s Berry ran 20 to
count.
Goodwin again carried the ball
for a touchdown on a fake line
buck after having another of
his home runs called back ear-
lier. Berry finally kicked a field
goal to end the scoring in the
second half.
A return bout with Memphis
was hastily cancelled after the
Giants arrived here apd found
the opposition line-up loaded
with “ringers” from college.
The roster of Giants in that
half-forgotten era was: Goodwin,
Clary, Hughel “Pills” Wilkins,
Robert “Booo” Sone, Harper
“Scrugo” Scoggins, Tolbert “Te-
go” Lane, Dave “Bugger Red”
Cameron, Roy “Rombus” Martin,
Elitle “Peck” McGowan, William
“Comey” Combest, Willie “Fritz”
Barron, Overton “Snab” Aberna-
thy, Wilson “Domenecker” Mc-
Carley, William “Bill” Clary and
Jess “Pat” Biddy.
Childress Bobcats
Whip Seymour For
Bi-District Win
Childress Bobcats nailed down
a 20-6 triumph over Seymour
with a more balanced running
and passing game.
The terrible Bobby Morris was
bottled up by the Childress de-
fense effectively enough to hold
the Panthers to 121 net yards
rushing while LaNoel Castle-
berry, Lindley Davis and Perry
Morren counted with 98.
Linebucks by Castleberry and
Morren coupled with a pass in-
terception by Davis accounted for
Childress’ three touchdowns.
Fullback Junior Bell plunged
over with the Panthers’ lone
score in the fourth.
