USGA Takes Strong
Stand On Gambling
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK, Jan. 28UP—The
U. S. Golf Association, seeking to
save the "amateur spirit” from de-
struction. imposed strict rules Sat-
urday on all forms of fairway gam-
bling and asked member clubs to
enforce them on an honor system.
In a strong stand at the annual
meeting, the USGA said flatly that
gambling and golf were not com-
patible and that members who fla-
grantly violated the amateur rules
would be in danger of forfeiting
their amateur status. The rules
also were directed at country clubs
which have conducted questionable
Calcutta pools and other tourna-
ments with heavy emphasis on
gambling. The executive commit-
tee declared in a statement that
“golf is a game to be played pri-
marily for its own sake, especially
amateur golf.”
“When it is played for gambling
motives evils can arise to injure
both the game and individual play-
ers.” the executive committee re-
port said. Therefore member clubs

City League
This new four-team City Basket-
ball League race which started out
like a March wind is still blow-
ing like a gale.
Action this past week produced
some torrid cage shennanigans in
old Daniel Baker Gym, and the
tempo may even wax hotter this
week.
There's no admission charge for
the City League games on Tues-
day and Thursday night, and fans
who aren’t attending are missing*
some dandy performances,
» Company “A”, despite break-
ing even last week, is the league
leader with three wins and one
loss. Fire Department and Head-
quarters Company are tied for
the second place slot with 2-2 rec-
ords, and Southwestern Telephone
is in the cellar with 1-3.
The chips go down Tuesday
night when the Fireman meet HQ
Company in the batle that will de-
cide the second place owner. The
opening tilt, which is set for 7:30.
will match Company “A” against
Telephone.
Thursday night it’ll be Tele-
phone against Fire Department,
and HQ against Co. "A".
In games lastweek, HQ defeat-
ed Company “A”. 53-44, as
Donald Nentwig led the scoring
with 18 points Richard Hampton

May Tigers Put Two
Setbacks On Zephyr
Spectal to The Buneitn
MAY—The May Tigers upset
the apple cart Friday night as
they captured a District 31-B twin
bill from the Zephyr Bulldogs.
Danny Chambers paced the 41-
•40 upset over the Bulldogs with
19 points. Bryan Galloway scored
16 and Jerry Perkins counted 11
for the losers.
The initial May victory in six
attempts dropped Zephyr into
fourth place only one game above
the cellar dwelling Tigers.
May edged by the Zephyr girls.
38-34, for its second win. Zephyr
now has four victories and three
defeats.
Shirley Boyd and Bonnie Rey-
nolds scored 18 and 16 points re-
spectively for the winners. Gayle
Driskill meshed 17 for the Bull-
dogs.
The Tigers go to Early and
Zephyr finishes its schedule

Tuesday.
Blanket Games
Monday Will Aid
Dimes Campaign
Another special event conducted
for the benefit of the 1956 March
of Dimes will be the basketball
games to be played at the Blanket
High School gymnasium Monday
night, beginning at 7.
Charile Trigg, campaign chair-
man for the March of Dimes, said
Blanket officials have informed
him that three different contests
will be played Monday night. No
admission charge will be set. but
a donation to the March of Dimes
will be required for admission.
One game will feature two Cub
Scout teams as opponents. An-
Scores of high school sluggers,
led by Brownwood's Vonnie Brown
and Coleman’s Jimmy Norris, will
give that division much class and
punch. Brown. the star of last
year’s tournament before losing
his final middleweight bout to
Shaffer of Dublin, hopes to go
“all the way" this time. Vonnie,
who was a regular on the Lion
football team at halfback, won a
knockout victory, a TKO, and a
decision to advance to the finals.
He was all set for competition
in the polio bouts, but failed to
find a pardner.
Norris won the heavyweight
bout, beating big Edwin Shaffer
of Cisco in three rounds. Edwin
weighed in at 247 while Norris
scaled 183.
Other Brownwood biffers plan-
ning to box include, David Het-
zel, 135; Danny Neal. 127; Shel-
by Adams, 149; James Ringstaff.

Ed Devery, for the ninth
straight year, will be chief re-
feree. He will be assisted by Er-

Brownwood’s Cubs and Abilene
Lincoln’s Longhorns, two of the
classiest junior ‘high basketball
powers in this area, come to grips
here in Lion Gym Monday night
in whet could prove to be the best
piece of cage action of the year.
This will be the fourth time
they’ve met this season. The Cubs
are on the short end of the scor-
ing. 2-1.
In all-season play, the Cubs
have won 11 and lost two. The
Longhorns have taken 12 games
and dropped two.
It’ll be a grudge battle from
the very beginning. For it was
Lincoln which defeated Brown-
wood a short time ago to win the
Abilene Junior High Invitation
tournament championship. /
Both clubs had close calls this
past week.
The Cubs, with Tommy Butler
providing the winning bucket in
the last 30 seconds of the game,
beat South Abilene, 47 to 46.
The Longhorns were pressed
even harder. Charles Scarborough
dunked a field goal with only
three seconds left to hand San
Angelo Robert E. Lee a crushing
43-41 defeat after the Rebels had
led most of the way.
That game pitted the champions
of the recent Abilene Junior tour-
ney, Lincoln the top winner and

The tipoff to this year's tourna-
ment power came early this month
when Jaycees staged their annual
“Johnnie Clay Memorial" polio
bouts. Fourteen bouts went un-
der the wire that Saturday night,

visions will get individual tro-
phies for their part in the pro-

go to high school and college
champions and every single boy
who participates will receive a
pair of miniature golden gloves.
Just how many boxers there
win be won’t be known until after
the official wetgh-in times Thurs-
day afternoon. A staff of Jaycee
officials will be on hand at Me-
morial Hall to handle the rush of
pre-tournament business.
All boxers are requested to re-
pet to Memorial Hall between
the hours of 2 to 6 p.m. No youth
will be allowed to enter the ring
until he has been given the green
light by Gloves officials and phy-
sicians.
This was the fastest mile run
anywhere in the world this year
and it marked the eighth time that
a runner had done it in less than
four minutes since Roger Bannis-
ter of England startled the world
with his 3:59.4 mile at Oxford
England on May 6, 1954. Landy
.has done it three times, once in a
race with Bannister in the British
Empire games at Vancouver,
B.C., on Aug. 7, 1954. In that his-
toric duel Bannister ran a 3.58 8
mile and Landy a 3:59.6 clocking.
The others who have gone under
four minutes are Laszlo Tabori of
Hungary, 3:59, Chris Chataway of
England, 3:59.8, and Bryan Hew-
son of England, 3:59.8 all in an-
other “miracle race” at London.

Monty Basgall Will
Manage Waco Club
PITTSBURGH —UP— The Pitts
burgh Pirates Saturday announced
that Monty Basgall, former Pirate
infielddr, would serve as playing
manager - the club's Class B Big
State League farm club at Waco,
Tex.
This will be Basgall’s debut as a
manager although he has been in
organized baseball 11 years. He
served three hitches with the
Pirates and later played with
to help the Firemen take Tele-
phone, 58-28. Hue Ben Ray
meshed 20 for the Phonemen.
Co. “A” bounced back Thurs-
day night to defeat the Firemen,
61 to 59, in a tingler. Bill Per-
kins and Hendrix Williams paced
the winners with 17 points apiece
and Holt again led his mates with
19.
In the other tussle. Telephone,
with James Blake shooting 18
points, beat HQ Co., 49 to 44.
Bobby Seale made 12 points for
the losers.

ger Yates of Howard Payne, light-
weight; Billy Dickerson of Ste-
phenville. welterweight; A. J.
Stone of Brownwood, middle-
Stephenville and DeLeon.
Bill Williams and Groner Pitts,
talent scouts for the Jaycees and
ramrodders for many Brownwood
boxing tournaments, have toured
this whole Central Texas area in
search of fighters—good ones.
"Most of the boys we contact are
fully acquainted with our show,
and they're anxious to come here.”
Williams said. "We’ll take all the
boys we can get. All they have
to do is to notify us, or be at
Memorial Hall Thursday after-
noon. If they’re physically sound
and within the Gloves age limit,
they will be allowed to enter com-
petition.”
Glen Rose, coached by James
Willingham, and Brady, with Jer-
ry Simpson at the helm, each scor-
ed 14 points last year to tie for
the high school division team
championship. Brownwood also
picked up 14 points, but was not
eligible to share in the tourney
glory because of the host team
ruling.
Trailing the top leaders came
DeLeon, with 13 points. Lam-
pasas and Dublin were next with
10 points apiece, Cisco had nine,
Mullin six, Goldthwaite five, Ris-
ing Star, Rochelle and San Saba
with four each, Santa Anna and
Menard with three, Comanche
with two, and Bangs and Carlton
wound up with one. •
rhelr reasoning is partly that
more of an effort at concentrated
and Intense training has been
: made this season, particularly in
the high school and college novice
divisions. Another argument is
that the new training center here
has provided boys with many more
I facilities to work with than ever
before, and they’re in pretty good
shape physically.
The first bouts are scheduled to
start at 7:30 p.m. Doors to Me-
morial Hall will be open an hour
earlier to accomodate the expect-
ed big crowd.
Another packed card comes up
Friday night, leaving final com-
petition for Saturday night.
Jaycee tournament Director
Jack Miller sald an extra session
of boxing may be added to the
program if the already bulging
field-continues to swell. In that
event, final bouts in some divi-
sions would be held on Monday
night.
