Kangaroo
Tales
By KAYE BODIFORD
Roos Renew Rivalry
The game time was 6:30 last Fri-
day night in the • Mineral Wells Gym
with the Rams of' Mineral Wells cast-
ing their role against the Kangaroos
of Weatherford..
The final quarter of eight minutes
began with the Rams leading by a
one-point margin. At: the end of the
eight-minute quarter the ’Rods had
gained several points as did the Rams
and the score read TIE.
An overtime of three-minutes was 'to
be played, but an upset for the Roos
lay waiting. The Weatherford fans
jumped to their feet as Bud Hayes
gave Weatherford a two-point lead,
but his goal was Called back for trav-
eling. One minute and a half had
elapsed since, and still, no score dur-
ing the overtime. Once again Hayes
scored for Weatherford, but once a-
gain travelng, was Galled on Hayes.
Seven seconds was left in the game,
n® score had'been made by the ’Roos,
and Weatherford hadn't been able to
put two points on the score board.
Then it happened a quick play by the
Rams put two points on ithe Score-
board for them. The final whistle
sounded. - .
Kangaroos’ 27 — Mountaineers 29
In The Siands
Not only were the Kangaroos up
for their’ century-old rivalry with Min-
eral Wells, but the' spectators had
their share of rivalry too.
The supporter’s for Idle Kangaroos
gave then all when the boys-were
playing. After, each yell the Kanga-
roos gave, the Rams tried to yell
louder but never’ quite made the goal.
This constant yelling for both teams
ended after the final whistle blew.
Varsity Game
The A-team game may have been a
little less exciting than that of the B-
team game, but nevertheless the
Roos were playing a good game for
Weatherford. The. Kangaroos were
having a great deal of difficulty dur-
ing the first three quarters when their

shots wouldn’t quite fall into the bas-
ket, but to late in the final quarter
the Rons rallied back.
Weatherford made quite a few
points from their free shot trys,’ but
not enough.
Starters for the varsity squad were
Bobby Tarpley, Dale Ruth, Butch
•Cronenweth, Jesse Lockhart, and
Wayne Lamb.
District Standings
Mineral Wells has one win and one
loss, while the Kangaroos have lost
twice thus, for in distract ratings. The
Mountaineers were first considered to
be the dark horse team of the dis-
trict; bult the Rams have pulled for-
ward, and although they are not con-
tenders for the crown, they will be
hard competion. The Kangaroos were
were not picked in the first place dis-
trict contenders, but they were chosen
to be running a first in the secondary
section of the district teams.
A Graham Steer Loss
The Kangaroos lost a 56-36 battle
with the G-raham Steers last Tuesday
night of the previous week, but cre-
dit goes to Drew Springer Wayne
Lamb, Bobby Tarpley, Jesse Lock-
hart, Tommy Brian, Dale Ruth, and
Butch Cronenweth for holding the
Steers down to such a slim margin.
The margin of 36-56 may not seem
very slim to some, but Graham is
picked to take the crown this year,
and since the ’Roos are not rated quite

Reached Finals
Weatherford’s boxing team partici-
pated in the Stephenville Jaycee Box-
ing Tournament January 2, 3, 4, and
6. .
Weatherford came very close to
winning the team trophy for the win-
ning of most fights. There were four
Weatherford boys iin the finals Satur-
day, January 6. Of these five, Ron-
nie Williams, a middleweight, and
Jimmy Cauldweil, a light-heavy-
weight, won championship trophies.
Cody Cogburn, and Ronnie Crowder
as high as Graham, I think we can
give our boys credit for holding the
Steers to such a slim margin.
Back The Kangaroos
If everyone will go out and back
the A and B teams, the Kangaroos
will prove we have a team worth
rooting for.
District games will be ending the
laitter part of January, so why not
prove to the ’Roos right now you’re
behind them all the way.

Well its been nice weather for a
few days and now its tinned cold a*
gain. The P. E. boys are having to
stay inside again, that is all but .a
few are. These are some of the brave
ones. Cody Cogburn, Joe Compton,.
E. G. Buitler, and a few others.
Three in particular who seem to al-
ways chicken out are, Melvin Arnold,.
Billy Mallory, and Randy Noe.
Sometime if you get the chance
watch Billy Woods try to keep warm.
Some say they find it very amusing,
Melvin Arnold when and if you do
talk him into going outside, he has
a small edge over the rest of the
boys-. You never find him without his
little black gloves.
