Pvt. Dawson To
Leave Sept. 15
For Europe
Fort Carson, Colo. —Pvt. Tho-
mas G. Dawson, son of Mrs. Lu-
cile Dawson of Abbott, is sched-
uled to leave the U. S. Sept. 15
for Europe as part of Operation
Gyroscope, the Army’s unit ro-
tation plan.
Dawson is a member of the
8th Infantry Division, which has
been stationed at Fort Carson,
and is replacing the 9th Infan-
try Division in Germany.
Dawson, a truck driver in
Battery B of the division’s 56th
Field Artillery Battalion, enter-
ed the Army last March and
completed basic training at Fort
Carson. He was graduated from
Baylor University in 1955.
J f /ien it’s time for a beer...
cold, Jlavorful, clear
THIS IS THE ONE!
Seagoville used the multiple
offense throughout the game.
Something they would come up
with a single wing, T, Split T,
Double Wing, and all sorts of
meird formations. They are a
AAA school with a new football
stadium. Lust Friday night’s
ballgame was the first ballgame
played in it. It was a nice field
but not enough seating capu
city for a AAA school.
Johnny Kubala attracted the
eye of a couple of Dallas sport-
writers covering the ballgame.
They had nothing but praise for
the West senior guard.
Jimmy Kruse played his best
ballgame of his carreer last Fri-
day night. His big play was
stealing the ball from a Seago-
ville halfback late in the game.
This should be a fine season for
Jimmy . ■*»’
The Trojans were helped con •
siderabaly when three more boys
came out for football. Tommy
Edwards, who dropped football
in August has rejoined the
squad. He is being converted to a
halfback position and will see
some action tonight.
Jimmy Hinson, a 170 pound
end, and a boy with another
year of eligbility has looked good
in this week’s practice and will
help the Trojans this year.
The other boy is John Lee
Girard, a 200 pound tackle. John
Lee played Jr. High ball and
will add weight to the Trojan
line.
Harry Littleton came up with
two touchdown saving tackles
last Friday night. Once, after
an end faked his was past
Coffee, Harry laid him low with
one of the nights best tackles.
The Trojans were realy throw-
ing but we dont think they will
pa^s much tonight.
Rosebud was handed a 27-7
defeat at the hands of a future
West opponent. Marlin. The
game was tied going into the
linal period when Marlin pushed
across three toufchdowns. The
Panthers will not weight as much
as She Trojans will in the line
and the backfield. The Panthers
have a small and fast backfield.
They reley upon speed and de-
ception to make their offense
click.
Raymond Kubala, brother of
Johnny Kubala, is bidding for
a starting position in the Tro-
jan line. He saw some action
Friday night and will see much
more tonight according to Coach
Jones. Two ’more young boys,
Alton Petter, a freshmam, and
Dragons Defeat
Trojans 13-12
The Seagoville Dragons, with
the aid of an extra point, and
the Trojans’ mistakes nosed out
the Trojans 13-12.
It was a thrilling ball game
with many fine plays. The big-
gest thrill in the game was pro-
vided by Cecil Coffee. Cecil took
the Seagoville kickoff after they
scored and raced 80 yards for
West's first touchdown of 1956.
Penalties hurt the Trojans.
They accumulated 80 yards in
penalties. In two plays in suc-
cession the Trojans drew 30
yards in penalties.
Johnny Kubala paced the Tro-
jans on defense. He was a terror
in the Dragons’ backfield. Jim-
my Kruse and “Bobo” Jansky
also played good ball for West.
The big gun for the Trojans was
Cecil Coffee. He scored both
TDs and picked up over three-
fourth of the Trojans’ total
yardage.
The Trojans won the toss and
elected to receive. A. P. Matus
returned the kickoff 8 yards
being dropped on the West 28
yard line. Coffee churned ar-
ound end for 8 yards. On the
next play he picked up a first
down on the 31. Slay made 2
yards and then the Trojans
were penalized 5 yards. The Tro-
jans elected to pass and were
unsuccessful. They were forced
to kick and Coffee punted out
of bounds on the West 49 yard
line, a punt of only 11 yards.
From here, the Dragons scor-
ed in three plays. A pass play
moved the ball to the West 15,
on a trap play Nichols, the big
fullback, rambled to the 2. He
scored on the next play. The
point was missed, and Seago-
ville led 6-0.
Coffee then returned the KO
80 yards to tie it up. Johnny
Slay made the key block around
midfield to shake Coffee loose,
who then outran would-be tack-
ier? to pay dirt. Cecil missed the
extra point to leave it 6-6 with
6:35 to play in the first quar-
ter.
After Seagoville put on a sus-
tained drive the Trojans took
over on their own 11. Coffee
made 6 and Matus picked up
2. With third and 2, Coffee
picked up 11 yards and a West
first down. Matus moved to QB
and picked up 2. Coffee then
raced for 5. Johnny Slay bulled
his way for 4 and another first
flown. Coffee made 2 as the
first quarter ended.
Matus, on a pitchout from
Coffee, raced 7 yards into Sea-
goville territory. The play was
called back and West was pen-
alized 15 yards for clipping. The
penalty stopped the West drive
and they were forced to punt
after two passes were incom-
game ended witli
i Seagoville
having the bah on
yard line.

Donald Vrana, will see some ac- j piete. On one of the passes Cof-
tion tonight said Coach Jones.
It seem in a couple of years
the Trojans will have quite a
line. There will be Jimmy Ko-
lacek, Alton Petter, Donald Vra-
na, Fred Rauschuber, Gary Popp,
and Pat Barton heading up a big
and beefy line their senior year.
It looks like brighter Times are
in store for the Trojans.
The extra point was the dif-
ference last week. One of the
Trojans kicks was blocked and
the other was wide. This extra
point faiure didn’t quite hurt
the West fans as much as the
one back in ‘54 when the Tro-
jans lost 7-6 to — lets see now-
oh, yea it was — oh, well let
us not talk about such paintful
memories. I’ll leave you with a
much nicer thought. West 26 —

VISIT IN CORPUS
AND MEXICO
Misses Mary Ann Zapalac of
West, now of Dallas, and Lor-
rine Semrad of Dallas left Tues-
day from: Love Field, Dallas, for
a week’s vacation in Corpus
Christi and Mexico. While in
Corpus they visited with Attor-
ney and Mrs. Leo Duran and
family. They enjoyed seeing the
various sights including Corpus
Christi Bay and Padre Island.
On their way to Mexico they
also attended mass at the new-

Braniff Air Lines.
STANLEY BUCHNESS RETURN
HOME FOLLOWING VISIT
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Buch-
ness returned to Chicago, 111.,
on Wednesday. They will visit
awhile in Missouri with their
son Jimmy who is a student at
a college in Missouri.
Mr. and Mrs. Buchness motor-
ed to Galveston for a few days
last week. They were accompa-
nied by Mrs. Herman E. Grimm
and daughter Marsha Fay. Mrs.
Buchness is the sister of Mrs.
Grimm, Mrs. Bessie Velek and
Agnes Gerik of West, anu Mrs.
P. P. Urban of Abbott.
Mr. and Mrs. Grimm had
many visitors at their home
during the Buchness’ stay here.
tfee was in the clear but the
pass was too tall for him. Sea-
goville took over but could not
move. Jansky trapped Thorpe
for a 6-yard loss and that killed
the Dragon for the time being.
The Trojans took over on the
Seagoville 49 yard line. On the
first play Coffee hit Goates,
who made it to the 2 yard line.
The play was called back and
West was penalized 15 yards.
On the next play the Trojans
were once again penalized 15
yards. That stopped any Trojan
drive and stopped a golden op-
portunity for the Trojans to
score.
The ball exchanged hands and
it went over to West on their
own 20 where they marched to
their last TD of the night. On
first down Coffee hit Travis
Webb for 20 yards, placing the
ball on the West 40. Matus pick-
ed up 3, Coffee, on a twisting,
turning, beautiful run made a
first down on the Seagoville 48.
Slay then bulled his way for 5
yards. Matus, on a pitchout,
roared to the 38 and a first
down. With one minute and 30
seconds to play, Coffee made 2
yards. On the next play Cecil
was stopped after a 1 yard
pickup. With 30 seconds left,
Coffee passed to Slay for 9; on
the next play A. P. Matus pass-
ed in the end zone to Coffee,
who outfought two defenders
for the ball and the touchdown.
The kick was blocked and the
Trojans went to rest with a 12-
6 halftime lead.
Seagoville returned the sec-
ond half kickoff to the 39 yard
line from where they marched
61 yards for the winning tally.
The tog play was a 39-yard pass
to the West 8 yard line. The
Trojans were penalized to the
1 yard line where Nichols scor-
ed an Harvey kicked the extra
point and the ball game was in
bag for the Dragons.
The Trojans began to move
but a fumble stopped them on
the Seagoville 43. Once more,
after getting the ball, the Tro-
jans began to roll but a 15 yard
personal foul penalty stopped
up the drive. The Trojans had
one more chance, but Coffee’s
pass was uiteicepted and the

REV. BOYDSTON REPORTS
ON CHURCH REPAIRS
Repairs are being made at
the Church of Christ on the
foyers and around the baptis-
try. The walls and floors are j
being refinished. This will bring
them up to the point where
they will match the rest of the |
building. This church has one
of the nicest kept buildings and i
lawns in the city. The present
work represents an effort to
make the worship more inviting
to the public.
The present work is to put
new wood on both the ceilings
and walls in the foyers and
around the baptistry. The floors
will be covered with rubber tile
in both foyers. The floors in-
side the main building are al-
ready richly carpeted.
The church has also purchas-
ed new heating equipment for
the coming winter, another ex-
ample of keeping a modern
building in excellent repair. The
building is cooled in summer al-
ready.
Hugh Boydston is in his sec-
ond year as minister of this
church and the church invites
all friends to hear him.
