Football Rules
Have Changed
“Hay! You can’t penalize Wea-
therford for that”. This might be
heard at any football game, but
don’t be a “square”. Did you know
that five very important rules in
the game of football had been
changed for this season? Well, whe-
ther you knew it or not, they have.
Want to know the new rules? O. K.
Here they are:
1. There can be four time-outs per
half, instead of three.
2. Substitutes need only to be rec-
ognized by an official, instead of re-
porting.
3. Numbers on the jerseys must
be eight inches instead of six inch-
es.
4. The ball can be thrown from
center to anyone one yard behind
the- line, even if the quarterback is
under center.
5. One kick-off may go out of
bounds without a penalty, but if
a second goes out of bounds between
goal lines, the ball is put in play on
kicker’s 40 yard line.
As long as this is football season,
and football is one of the main
sports here at high school, why don’t
you get in with the gang and learn
these new rules. Also, it wouldn’t
hurt some of us to learn how much
a touchdown counts and what a
touchback is and if a score is made
on one. Did you know a safety gets
two points? Come on now—it would
not hurt you to learn the others too.
Mineral Wells
Defeats Kangaroos
The Mineral Wells Mountaineers
defeated the Weatherford Kanga-
roos 30-0 in the Mineral Wells sta-
dium Friday night. The improved
Kangaroos couldn’t get started and
didn’t seem to click together as Min-
eral Wells scored in the first quar-
ter on a punt return and in the
second, third and fourth quarters.
The entire Mineral Wells backfield
was outstanding for the Mountain-
eers as well as their line. Charles
Grissom-, Tom Barnard and James
Martin were outstanding for the
Weatherford Kangaroos.
B Team Outplays
Joshua 19-6
The “B” team of Weatherford
Kangaroos won a 19 to 6 victory
over the Joshua Owls on the Kanga-
roos’ field Thursday night, October
24. The Kangaroos scored their first
and second touchdowns in the first
quarter. The Joshua Owls made
their touchdown in the second quar-
ter. The third and final touchdown
was made in the third quarter.
Standouts for the Weatherford team
were Leach, Chapman, Cox and
Sosebee.
KANGAROO KRAKS
Oh! Those poor football boys. Did
anyone, with the exception of the
girls, notice the skinned place on
Jack Cox’s face? And to think,
‘Georgie” Stevens did it. For shame
George.
There has been rumor ’round W.
H.S. that all the “B” team football
boys haven’t been going out for
practice as regularly as they should.
Come on fellows, let’s get “on the
beam”.
Wayne Carter reports that his leg
seems to be getting well satisfactor-
ally after getting it hurt in the Ar-
lington game. Here’s hoping you get
to play the rest of the season,
Wayne.
Kangaroos, you all know the
whole student body is for you in ev-
ery way possible. You all know we
like you too. Just ask Charlie Gris-
som. He even has a private pep
squad. Or didn’t you hear them at
the pep rally Friday?
Here’s just a hint to the wisest
boys on the football team. Don’t
stick your head in the window of the
band hall again, during band prac-
tice. Mr. Stumpp might throw some-
thing at you next time.
Kangaroo B Team
Dumps Gordon 12-7
The Kangaroo B team defeated
Gordon 12-7 here Friday night, Oc-
tober 11. The Kangaroos scored first
in the first quarter on a pass from
Buddie Hamilton to Floyd Sosebee
covering about 25 yards. In the sec-
ond quarter the Gordon team push-
ed over a. touchdown climaxing a
60 yard drive. Duncan McCauley
ran 80 yards for the Kangaroo’s sec-
ond touchdown. The second half was
scoreless for both teams.

He’s A Real Kangaroo
Co-captain of the Kangaroos,
standing six feet tall and weighing
180 pounds, light brown hair and
blue eyes all add up to Tom Bar-
nard. Tom has lettered since 1945
and is an even greater asset to the
team this year. His main likes are
all sports (especially football), eat-
ing and going to the show. He has
few dislikes but at the top of the
list goes Mineral Wells Mountain-
eers and then comes the Ranger
Bulldogs. So, to a really swell Kan-
garoo we say the very best of luck
to you.
Cisco Loboes Defeat
Weatherford 19-6
The Cisco Loboes went home Fri-
day night victors over a fighting
Kangaroo eleven by a 19 to 6 score.
The game was played in Weather-
ford before a packed stadium under
perfect playing conditions on a dry
field with a cool north wind making
the air brisk just right for football.
Tom Barnard scored the lone
Kangaroo marker from the one yard
line, but only after the Cisco team
had racked up their three touch-
downs and one extra point.
Outstanding for the Kangaroos
were Barnard, Grogan and the Mar-
tin twins in the backfield with Billy
Beard and Charles Grissom playing
their usual bang up game of foot-
ball in the line.
