Miss Lindsay was one up on the

and the match was evened. On the
18th, she had to take a penalty
stroke to get out of the rough,
and then went into a trap and
carded a seven. •

The Herahey, Pa, veteran was
as wild as a March hare. His tee

At a loss to explain his troubles,
Hogan said:
*Tm hitting ’em good, and I feel
fine. But 1 had trouble from tee

Hose behind the torrid paceset-

he took the Phoenix Open last

Stephenville High School’s bas-
ketball team continued its winning
ways Friday night as they ran
rough-shod over the hapless Lobos
of Cisco 46-8. This initial game
of the second rouitd of District
6-AA play was unreeled in Cisco.
This is the biggest margin that
the Jackets have run up all year,
and proved to be more of a prac-
tice session than a district en-
counter.
Flashy Robert Strebeck, Sheph-
enville guard, led the vietyre with
16 points. There was no stopping
elusive Strebeck as he sank them
from any place on the court. Fol-
lowing close behind Strebeck in the
scoring for the night was Don
Lowery, the Jacket mainstay, who
meshed 13 points.
Curt Fallin and Grady Waggen-
er also figured heavily in giving
the Lobos their disasterly defeat
by contributing 6 points apiece.
Ken Hale, the tall, string-bean
forward, pushed '4 points through
the net. Jim Everett, the Yellow
Jacket center, rounded out the
locals’ scoring with one free toss.
The Lobos were completely at
(he will of the Jackets the whole
night and managed to get only
two points the entire laat half, al-
though the 8tephenville second
team played much ’of the final pe-
riod. At one time the Jackets held
the Cisco group intact with four
players on the court.
“B” Boys Win, Too
In the “B” game preceding the
main encounter, the score was al-
most as lopsided. Stephenville’s
Junior Jackets tromped the young-
er Lobos 37-7.
Only three more battles stand
between the Yellow Jackets and
their first district basketball
championship in many years. These
teams, Breckenridge, Weatherfortl
and Mineral Wells, have all been

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (UP)—
The wild and wasted years have
caught up to Lew Jenkins and the
comeback dreams of another tum-
bled champion have been ground
into the grimy fabric of the prixe
ring.
It didn’t look like much of a
story if you read it in the terse
language of the fight results.
Simply:
“Walt Haines, 138 Vfc, New York,
declsloned Lew Jenkins, 138‘4,
Philadelphia (8).”
But it speaks a sad and melan-
choly volume to the fight mob. For
that brief history of a minor skir-
mish doesn’t tell that Jenkins, one-
time lightweight champion of the
world, was able to win but

“Looney Lew.1
Born Vernon Jenks at Brown-
wood, Tex., Lew started fighting
when he was 17. He was a gaunt-
faced killer with long, thick arms
offset incongruously by skinny
legs and knobby knees. He was
stringy, but like rawhide, a tough
and rugged youngster. And how
he could hit! •» ,
So Jenkins rocketed up into the
big time and pounded out 5250,000
with those mauling fists, winning
the lightweight title by knocking
out Lou Ambers in three rounds.
He was on top of the world but,
like so many others, couldn’t stand
success,.
* They told hint, he was' a super-
man, and Lew believed them. He
rode motorcycles with .jneldom
abandon; had more fights out of
the ring than he did in it and,
while he didn’t drink the distill-
eries dryy tie had them working
nights.
Lew scorned training and, for
a time, got away with it. He came
off a four-day bender to knock out
Tippy Larkin; went into the ring
despite six fresh stitches in his
hand from a street brawl and, by
Lew started a comeback. This, they
■aid, was a new Jenkins. He had //
remarried, had a baby son, swap-
ped the motocyeles for an auto- lo
mobile and no longer haunted the u
Primrose Path. He won 16 of 21
fights and they were building him tl
np for a shot at the title. „
"A brilliant comeback,” the press lv
agents argued with their ever- .
'l adjectives. “Lew is in finer
even
condition, smarter and an
better fighter than he was when
he knocked out Ambers 10 years ^
ago.” *
The kid named Walt Hainoo took „
care of that. One judge and the
referee didn’t give Jenkins even y
one rUund. The other judge gave (J
him one of the eight, probably for s
auld lang syne.
“I’m an old man and sometimes
I can’t get started,” admitted the It
33-year-eld Jenkins, softly and 7
without that former bombast. 3
