Its IUU,IK CRKAGII
Ifreckenridge's Junior High foot-
ball team swept by a plucky Co-
manche Junior High team last night
at Hucakroo Stadium by a convinc-
ing score of 42 to 14. It was ex-
cellent. cool, and refreshing foot-
ball weather that ,'!00 patrons en-
joyed as they witnesses some fine
offensive football.
Quarterbacy Jimmy Wright was
again the defensive standout as he
lacked up five of the six touch-
downs for the little Mucks. lie
gained I Pi yards rushing, com-
pleted two of two passes, hauled
a punt return 70 yards for a TD,
returned another punt for a TD only
to have it nullified by a clipping
penalty, and did an all-round good
job as a field general.' His ability
a. a speedster coupled with his
capabilities of following interfer-
ence can not be minimized as they
we're the keys in his long run per-
formances.
Others Share Glory
Also coming in for his share of
the glory was l'!0 pound back Jer-
ry Gibson who took the second
half kick-off and raced 7a yards
for a score. Joe Knox and Hilly
West worked well from their back
field positions too. Dick Rogers,
another back, tipping the scales at
Edwin Goodall, V. C. White and
0. Pate were elected elders.
|-nr |0; Russell Clark, Floyd Pearson Jr.,
102 i Marvin Newberry, Joe frank and
g Olin Chancelloro were elected dea-
cons and liob Lockhart and Jay
Dee Hatch, junior deacons.
Floyd Holder was elected a trus-
tee, and Floyd Pearson Jr.. treas-
urer.
The statement of the General
Assembly confirmed is as follows-
"As Christians we hold that all
forms of racial discrimination and
segregation are denials of human
worth and are contrary to the will
of God. We call for the launching
of 'operation desegregation' in our
churches and church-related insti-
tutions and in the communities in
play.
Travis Gandy, normally a start-
ing back, had to be content with
v.-hich our churches work and serve,
hi the light of the action of the
167th General Assembly in adopt-
ing the recommendation of the Gen-
Ct'al Council implementing the con-
cept of an 'inclusive membership'
in our church, we suggest careful
study of this action and urge com-
plete co-operation by each Presby-
tery and session. We direct the De-
partment of Social Kducation and
Action to record and to report to
the lliStb General Assembly the
progress of the church in 'opera-
tion desegregation'."
Taxes Subject
Of Rotary Club
Irvan l.ewis, county tax col-
lector, war guest speaker at the
Tuesday noon meeting of the
llr.eckenridge Rotary .Club at the
YMC.A with vice president fdwin
Pace presiding for the meeting- in
the absence of president. Andy An -
derson.
Rankin Williams introduced the
spi aker who spoke briefly on the
collection of taxes and tax funds
in Stephens County. He opened by
remarking, "Business of accounting
in taxes is a big business" con-
tinuing by stating that in this
county alone approximately *!•'<.
000,000 in taxes are set each
year. He added that it is the goal
watching from the sidelines. He is of the department to collect at
nursing a broken ankle sustained I
in an earlier game this season. He !
seemed rather happy with his lot, j
however, as ho was surrounded by :
j beautiful girls in abundant quan-
tities during the half. Ho-hum, such
I is the life of football hero though.
; Co-captains were Bill West and
i Henry Smith.
! The Junior High band was on
| hand for their contribution in the;
form of music. Junior High has i
! its own cheer leaders too, namely.
! Cherry Walker, Carolyn Connor,
Tony Casey, Kay McDaniel. and
Judy Wright. These young ladies
! guided yell activities through the
i:!2 pounds, got the call three times |
to run for extra points, being sue- :
eessful on all three attempts. Jer-
ry Gibson got credit for an extra
point and after Joe Knox had suc-
cessfully carried the ball for an |
extra point only to have it nullified !
by an offside penalty, Jimmy
Wright calmly tossed a pass to
Hilly Wright just to show that it
could be done through the air.
Another extra point was made
when a fumble occured on the at-
tempt and center Ronnie Martin !
fell on it in the Comanche end zone.
from the look on Coach Russell '
Me.Murry's face, one could tell that;
he was rather happy over the
Bucks' defensive efforts. Ninety-
five yards of Comanche's 102 yards j
came during the period when the
Buck subs were holding down the !
fort. Working from a 4-Tm2 de- '
feii.se. it was rather hard fpr Co- !
mane-he backs to find running room j
amongst those green jerseys. (Hyi
the way. don't those new uniforms ;
look sharp'.'I. On offense, the line;
blocked well, clearing those fast j
backs.
Squad Well Coached
The whole squad showed definite
evidence of being well coached and •
no need to add. the entire squad
has that liuckaroo hustle and spirit
that are so necessary for good foot-
ball clubs.
I'reckenridge starting line-up:
Jimmy Wright. 1!; Joe Knox, B;
J.riy Gibson, I!; Billy West, H;
Billy Wiiuh't, f ; Robert Green, K;
Ronnie Bills, T; Steve Rinard, T;
Henry Smith, G: George Rowan, G;
Ronnie Martin, C.
A good point concerning the i
same was that everyone got to,
game, doing a fine job of it too.
least 1)5 percent of these taxes.
During the present year he stilt-
ed that new values in oil have
been put into effect in this county
because of the activity in the
north east part of the county.
lie continued that another big
buesisness even in Stephens Coun-
ty is the automobile regestrntion
business. During the ptesent fis-
cal year which will not end until
March of 1956, Lewis stated that
.'1,640 automobiles have been reg-
istered. S72 commerical licenses,
534 tags for farm trucks and 340
for trailers. The county's part of
license revenue will be about $90,-
