host Hereford
listed for all-star game
AUSTIN (AP)—Fifty-six school-
boys were named today for the
AH-Star football game of the Tex-
as Coaching School in San Anto-
nio Aug. 10. The South came off
best in all-staters with nine com-
pared to six for the North.
The South squad to be coached
by Pete Ragus of state champion
Corpus Christi Miller, has these
all-state players: backs—Timmy
Doerr of Cleburne, Budgie Ford
of Taylor. Ernie Koy of Bellville
and Walter McReynolds of Gal-
veston; linemen—Norman Evans,
Donna; Stanley McDonald, Katy;
Vernon McManus, Baytown; C. C.
Willis, Bay City; Russell Wayt,
White Oak.
The North, to be coached by
Joe Golding of Wichita Falls, has
all-state back Gary Anderson of
Stinnett and linemen Billy Wayne
Belew of Sweetwater, Lawrence
Elkins of Brownwood, Bill Gravitt
of Denver City, Edwin Thomas
of Hereford and Tommy Guy Wi-
lie of Albany.
The all-star basketball teams,
with the North to be coached by
0. W. Follis of Lamesa and the
South by Hal Lambert of Spring
Branch, were announced Sunday.
Neither the football nor basket-
ball squads earned the name of
Junior Coffey of Dimmitt, the Ne-
gro star who made both all-state
teams. The Texas High School
Coaches Association, in announc-
ing the squads, explained that
Coffey was not selected because
the association had no assurance
that “town, hotels, schools, col-
leges and universities of the host
cities will treat our fine Negro
athetes the same as everyone
else.”
Until they do, the association
said, it “will not be able to con-
sider these athletes for our annual
coaching school clinic games. The
association does not want to em-
barrass the athlete or the host
schools and cities."
Giants retain lead;
Reds climb to 2nd
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Cincinnati made it eight in a
row Sunday and climbed into sec-
ond place in the National League.
The Reds swept a doubleheader
from Milwaukee 5-4 and 4-0. First
place San Francisco blanked Phil-
adelphia 7-0, Los Angeles beat
Pittsburgh 4-2 and St. Louis took
Chicago 4-2.
Cincinnati turned on the home
run power when four out of five
batters — Frank Robinson, Wally
Post, Leo Cardenas and Gordy
Coleman—hit Warren Spahn for
homers in a 5-4 first game vic-
tory over Milwaukee. Jim O’Toole
then shut out the Braves with five
hits 4-0 in the second game.
Billy Loes, the unpredictable
one, pitched the league-leading
San Francisco Giants to a 7-0
triumph, holding the Philadelphia
Phillies to seven hits. Loes, a re-
lief man when ht was traded to
the Giants by Baltimore in No-
vember 1959, now has a 3-1 record
as a starter and a 3.50 earned
run average. A year 4|o his ERA
was 12.00.
Los Angeles flexed its muscles
at Pittsburgh where homers by
Charlie Neal, Norm Larker and
Frank Howard gave the Dodgers
a 4-2 decision over the defending
world champs. Sandy Koufax,
with fine relief help from Larry
Sherry, was the winner over
George Witt, inakig his first
atart for the Pirates.
St. Louis’ Ernie Broglio retired
the last 14 men in a row as the
Cardinals climbed up to the .500
mark by beating Chicago 4-2 in a
game called after five innings be-
cause of rain. A scheduled second
game was washed out.
In the American League, De-
troit opened up a 2Vi-game lead
on New York bv taking a double-
header from Chicago 8-6 and 5-3
while the Yankees were losing to
Los Angeles 5-3. Chuck Schilling
drove in six runs in Boston’s 11-9
victory over Minnesota. Kansas
City shaded Baltimore 5-4 in 10
innings. Their second game was
rained out. Cleveland won the
first lrom Washington 4-2 on
Wynn Hawkins’ four-hitter but the
Senators took the second 4-3 on
Gene Woodling’s hitting.
Orlando Oepeda, Felipe Alou
and Ed Bailey backed up Loes’
pitching by hitting home runs at
Philadelphia. Cepeda’s fifth of the
year came with two on in the
four-run sixth inning, dooming
Robin Roberts to his fifth straight
defeat.
The Reds exploded against
Spahn in the eighth and ninth,
just when the 40-vear-old lefty ap-
peared headed for his fourth vic-
tory and 53rd shutout. Leading
4-0 with one out, Spahn gave up
homers to Robinson and Post
before he retired Gene Freese. In
the ninth the first two up, Car-
denas and Coleman applied the
crusher.
O’Toole 'eft 12 Braves on the
bases and struck out seven while
winning his third game.
Koufax ran into trouble in the
seventh at Pittsburgh but Sherry
bailed him out ir fine style. Witt
retired the first 16 Dodgers before
throwing up a home run ball to
Neal in the sixth. Larker hit a
two-run homer in the seventh and
Frank Howard slammed his fifth
of the year in the same inning.
Broglio had a rough first inning
when the Cubs scored two runs
but settled down for the rest of
the abbreviated contest. Julian Ja-
vier's two - run double in the sec-
ond was the winner.

The Levelland Lobo diamond
crew faltered in the clutch and
got buried by the Dumas Demons
Sam takes $10X00
from Vegas tourney
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP)—Sam
Snead, golf's all-time leading
money winner ana the oldest man
in the nation to win a major
tournament, heads for the West
Virginia hills today, richer by
$10,000.
Snead, who’ll be 49 May 27,
finally added the Tournament of
Champions to his roll of victories,
breezing in Sunday by seven
strokes.
After a shaky start, Snead put
on the pressure in the final nine
holes to shoot a three-under-par
69 and a 72-hole score of 273, 15
blows under par.
In the process he matched the
early morning high wind and
nearly blew his nearest challeng-
er, veteran Tommy Bolt, off the
course.
Tommy hung on to take second
place and $5,000 with a 71.
Bill Collins’ 69 gave him 281
and $3,000. Bob Rosburg, with a
68 for 282, and Doug Ford, with a
73 for 283 were next in line.
Jay Hebert, the leader in the
first two rounds, shot a 73 for
284 and a tie with South Africa’s
Gary Player and Canada’s Stan
Leonard. Each had a 74.
at Dumas Saturday 11-0.
Travis Thomson accomplished
his shutout victory by allowing
only three singles and two walks
while fanning 10. The Demons
have now completed their 1-AAA
play with the assurance of at
least a tie for the title.
The only consolation open for
the Lobos is to play the spoiler
role here Tuesday against the
Hereford Whitefaces. A Levelland
win would knock the defending
champion Whitefaces out of the
race and could keep the Lobos
from suffering through a winless
loop schedule. Gametime is 4 p.m.
at Babe Ruth Park.
Ross Joplin was the only Lobo
to figure out Thor son as he col-
lected two of the three hits, on
in the first and the other in the
sixth. He stole second on both oc-
casions but was left stranded.
Levelland left only five men on
the paths during the afternoon.
Ronnie Simpson got the other
single in the fifth and Jimmy
Miller got on via a walk and a
fielder’s choice.
The Demons sprayed the ball
all over ihe park and steadily
built up a 6-0 cushion before ap-
plying the axe with a vengence in
the sixth frame. Dumas got two
runs in the first, one in the third,
two more in the fourth and an-
other single tally in the fifth be-
fore bringing in five in the siitth.
Jimmy Harris took the loss as
he went five innings and gave up
six runs on nine hits, walked
SWC baseball up in air
but golf, tennis decided
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Team championships in golf and
tennis have been decided, with
Texas A&M winning on the links
and Texas on the court, but the
Southwest Conference base-
ball championship still is very
much up in the air.
Texas leads by two full games
over Baylor but has three games
with Texas A&M this week. Bay-
lor also plays three games, first
clashing with Texas Christian at
Waco Tuaaday than mooting Race Toch.
at Houston Friday and Saturday.
Texas is playing off a 6-6 tie
with the Aggies Tuesday at Aus-
tin. Friday and Saturday the Long-
horns take on Texas A&M in reg-
ularly scheduled games at College
Station.
If those battles don’t decide the
championship Texas and Baylor
will have to make up a couple
of rained out games.
Texas lost its first conference
game of the campaign last week
when Texas Christian edged the
Longhorns 9-8. But Texas wal-
loped Texas Christian 5-3 in the
second game. Baylor edged Texas
A&M 5-4 but was upset 15-13 by
the Aggies in the second tilt.
Texas A&M clinched the golf
championship last week by beat-
ing Texas 5VidVi. It gave the Ag-
gies a 28-8 record while Texas
Tech was beating Southern Meth-
dist 4-2 but being tied by Arkan-
sas 3-3 for a 27Vi-14Vi record.
A&M plays Rice at Houston in a
makeup match Monday but it
won’t mean anything. The Aggies
could lose 6-0 to Rice and still fin-
ish a half-point ahead of Texas
Texas clinched the tennis title
with a 33-3 record, whipping Bay-
lor 6-0 last week. Rice, in second
place, had a 29-7 record.
Next weekend the individual
champion in golf and the singles
and doubles champions in tennis
will be decided at the conference
meet in Houston.

Abel Pompa worked the sixth and
gave up five runs six .nts, two
walks and fanned three.
The two Demon tallies in the
first came wfien David Harjo
walked, took second on a field-
er’s choice and scored or a single
by Mike Milligan Milligan then
followed rfarjo’s example and got
to second on a choice and came
in on an error.
Then in the third, Milligan hom-
ered for the third Dumas run
Milligan figured in the fourth in-
ning action as he j owered a triple
that brought in Royce Taylor, who
had walked. A single by Dick Rec-
tor scored Milligan
In the fifth frame Mike Lopez
was safe on an error went to
second on a wild pitch and cross-
ed the plate on a single by Har-
jo.
To start the big sixth frame
Rector blooped a single, got to
second on a wild pitch am- scored
on a double by Thomson. A
scratch single by Wiley advanc-
ed Thomson and another one-base
hit by Smith brought both runners
home Smith then stole second and
scored on a double by Lopez. Tay-
lor and Milligan drew free trips
and Rector’s second hit of the
frame let Lopez in with the final
run.
Coach Al Parsons plans to send
David Schniidly tc the hill for
Tuesday’s encounter with Hereford
but the rest of the starting line-
up may be comprised of seniors.
Parsons said that the seniors on
the team would either start or
play at some time during the final
contest.
