delivered anywhere
Flowers whisper better
than anything those three
little words, I love you, with
conviction and sincerity.
Let them express for you
the thought in your heart.
If a sick friend or some
one you know has flowers,
send a book from Rhea’s

for the Lobos 440 yard relay team j
while Railsback, Allen Neal and
Barnes will probably form the mile
relay foursome.
Neal will also ran the 220 and
broad jump while Barnes will run
the 160 yard low hurdles. Renfro
is «lso tabbed as a broad jumper,
a 440 runner and may also Be en-
tered in the 100.
Chadwick, in addition to his re-
lay position, Is also slated as a
century sprinter. Strickland will
run the low hurdles as will Wil-
liams. Williams will also broad
jump and high jump.
Allen is also picked to run the
open quarter besides being on the
mile relay team and Fietz is slat-
er and high hurdler. Railsback will
try the 880 in addition to running
on the mile team.
Carlisle, Bennett and Funk are
listed as shot and discuss hurlers
and brooker is a pole vaulter.
Gilbreath will high jump and Raed-
ler is the lone miler at present.
Although Elkins had first plan-
ned to enter the Lobo cindermen
in the Comanche Relays he has
withdrawn the local team since the
Fort Stockton meet comes so ear-
ly.
The Comanche meet will be held
during the last weekend in Feb-
ruary giving the locals — most of
whom are inexperienced — only
two more weeks of work.
Instead Elkins is planning to hold
a triangular or quadrangular meet
in Levelland the first week in
March. !
After that the locals may enter
the Canyon Reef meet at Snyder,
the San Angelo Relays, and the
Kermit and Amarillo meets before
district. The Andrews meet will be
the next event sandwiched in be-
tween district and regional.

Lobos scare Hereford
before bowing, 65-64
THE LEVELLAND Lobos fought
back from an 11 point deficit Fri-
day night to scare the Hereford
Whitefaces before falling 65-64 in
the final minute of the 1-AAA con-
test.
A win by the Lobos would have
knocked the Herd out of conten-
tion for the loop title but now the
showdown game will come off
Tuesday when Hereford travels to
Dumas.
After the Lobos had trailed by as
many as 11 markers they began
to whittle away at the margin un-
til, with 3:45 left in the game, they
had closed the gap to four points,
61-57.
With three minutes remsining,
Roy Sage hit a field goal to bring
the score to 61-59. Hereford's Ron-
nie Botkins fouled Doug Cannon
and Caonon his his first charity
to make it 61-60.
SAGE GAVE LEVELLAND ITS
first lead of the ball game when he
hit another goal to put the Lobos
out in front 62-61. Carl Miller, who
was a thorn in the Lobo’s side,
then hit a fielder to regain a one
point margin for Hereford, 63-62.
Dick Tubb added to the see-saw
action and ended Levelland scor-
ing when-he connected to make it
64-63. With 1:05 remaining Charlie
Burrus hit Hereford’s final field
goal and ended scoring at 65-64.
A lot of action followed in the
remaining minute but little results.
Don Turn bow fouled Botkins who
missed and Botkins fouled Tubb
who missed. Hereford got Tubb’s
rebound and stalled out the final
20 seconds. At approximately the
same time the buzzer sounded,
Tubb fouled ''Hpdges who also miss-
ed.
MOST OF THE LOBOS’ troubles
were caused by big Carl Miller,
who ended the game with 32
points, all at which were scored on
field goal*. Miller scored at will
through the first three quarter* be-
fore falling off On his output in the
final stanza. He made five field
goals in the first and third quar-
ter and four in the second but wily
bagged two in the fourth.
The Lobos lost the game In the
finst quarter since they outscored
Hereford in two quarters and were
edged by only one in the other. Led
by Miller’s 10 points the Whitefaces
held a 20-12 lead after the first
quarter and held on as the Lobos
were able to shave off all but one
point of the deficit.
Hereford held a 39-30 advant-
age at halftime as the Herd out-
scored the Lobos 19-18 to ad -
vance their margin to nine points.
Miller again led the Whitefaces
with eight points.
Levelland’s second quarter points
as he connected on four field goals
and one free throw and came beck
after intermission to score a like
number to lead the Lobo* to a 21
point frame. Miller again scored 10
as Hereford registered 17 points,
With the score at 56-51 and the
Hereford advantage cut to five
points the teams embarked on a
fourth stanza which Levelland won
13-9. Dick Tubb scored six of
Levelland* points and Miller’s
four made him high for the Herd
for the fourth straight quarter.
Miller took game honors but only
one other Whiteface was able to
make the double figures as Charlie
Burrus added 12. Cannon was the
top scorer for the Lobos with 25,
followed by Sage with 17 and Tubb
with 11.
HEREFORD DOMINATED THE
rebounding and that phase of the
game won the contest for them
since the Lobos registered better
percentages both from the field
and the free throw line.
The Whitefaces scored 29 field
goals to Levelland’* 27 but that
four point difference was cut to
one when the Lobos bagged 10
free throws to Hereford’s seven.
To get their 29 goals the Herd
took 67 shots from the field fop
a mark of 43 percent. The Lobos
made their 27 on 61 shots for 44
per cent. Herford hit seven cA 13
charities for 54 per cent while the
Lobos made 10 of 15
cent.
