Homecoming For
SMS Mustangs
Tuesday Night
The St. Mary’s “Fighting”
Mustangs took the fourth game
of district play by defeating the
St. Joseph’s Eagles by a score of
42 to 0 on Bronco Field at Ste-
phen F. Austin High School in
Bryan, Sunday.
Although the Eagles failed to
score, much of their offensive
play was in Mustang tereritory
due to the approximately 150
yards in penalties received by
the Mustangs. These penalties
came about as a result of illegal
formations, backs in motion and
off-sides.
The Mustangs have two re-
maining district games on their
schedule and are in contention
for the diocesan title, having
gone unbeaten, so far, for the
season.
On Tuesday, October 31, the
Mustangs meet the mighty Rei-
cher Junior High Cougars of
Waco on Trojan Field at 7:30
p.m. Although this is a non-dis
trict game, it promises to bean
exciting one as the rivalry be-
tween the Mustangs and the
Cougars is keen.
This will be St. Mary’s Must-
angs homecoming for former
Mustangs, cheerleaders, and
members of the pep squad with
the class of 1958 as guests of
honor and they will be admitted
free. The game will be dedicated
to the graduating class and to
the parents of the football play-
ers. Pre-game ceremonies will
include the presentation and in-
troduction of members of the
1961 Mustang squad and their
parents. The parents and guests
of honor will occupy reserved
sections of the box seats.
Quarterback Club tickets will
Ibe honored; regular tickets may
be purchased at the gate for 50c
for adults and 25c for children.
As before, all students wearing
St. Mary’s Mustang T-shirts
v/ill be admitted free. What bet-
ter way is there to spend Hallo-
ween night?

CHAMBER OF

The West Chamber of Com-

Oct. 30, at the City Hall at 7:30
p.m.
Tucker Lbr. Co.
Expands; Barber
Shop Remodeled
Tucker Lumber Co. has pur-
chased the vacant lot on Ook
Street, next to the R and A
Cafe, will enclose the lot with a
fence, and will use it for a large
covered lumber storage ware-
house.
In addition, the Tuckers plan
to tear down the old Southland
Ice House building on the prop-
erty, and remodel the present
lumber company office.
During the past week a new
front has been put on the top
half of .Weinberger’s Barber
Shop, located on Main Street.
The new corrugated paneling
matches that recently put on the
Keen building next door, and
certainly does much to improve
the appearance of the building.
Mr. Weinberger states that a
new front will be put on the
building next year to complete
the remodeling.
The old ice house being torn
down; Tucker Lumber Company
remodeling; and a new front on
Weinberger’s Barber Shop will
do much to improve the business
district of West. The people of
West are proud of the merchants
who began this modernization of
their property last year, and of
those who plan to “spruce up”
their buildings in the months
ahead.
THE LADY WHO NEVER GROWS OLD
It seems almost heretical to bring it up in this Age of the
Handout.
But there’s a colossus of a statue in this country that was built
without one cent being contributed by the Federal government.
The Statue of Liberty, 75 years old this Fall, was financed ex-
clusively by the people of France and the United States. In par-
ticular, school children of both countries poured their pennies
into the popular subscriptions. Neither the French nor United
States gavernments were asked to aid in the construction of the
statue and the giant pedestal which bears it.
The United States owes this great symbolical statue to French
friendship and the personal enthusiasm of Alsatian sculptor Fred-
eric A. Bartholdi. In 1875, it was decided that the French would
build the statue and transport it here; and the American people
would finance and build the pedestal.
In France, citizens of 180 cities raised $250,000. In this country,
in American committee raised $125,000 for the pedestal, but it
hasn’t enough. Then a champion of the cause appeared; Joseph
Rulitber, owner of the New York World, popularized a campaign
for funds.
School children were appealed to. and they contributed their
bit. Benefit theatrical performance, sporting events, entertain-
ments and balls were sponsored. The campaign raised $100,000
from 120,000 individuals.
On Saturday, October 28, 1886, the torch held high in the right
hand of the Statue of Liberty was iighted. In his dedicatory ad-
dress, President Grover Cleveland said:
“We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor
shall her chosen altar be neglected.”
We promise we won’t forget where Liberty is. We will not for-
get, either, that patriotism has tobe bigger than gavernment; and
as freedom-loving men and women, we must keep a close watch
an government — les-t it buy away our liberty with our own
money!
West Kiwanians
See “Operation
Abolition” Movie
West Kiwanians at their
luncheon meeting this week saw
the controversial film “Opera-
tion Abolition,’, a film showing-
how communism “duped” a mob
of college students and long-
shoremen into trying to wreck
a hearing in San Francisco, by
the Congressional House com-
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties. Ted Uptmore, Klwanis Pro-
gram Chairman, secured the
film through the American Heri-
tage Foundation.
The hearing in the film took
place May 12-14, 1960 and sev-
eral communist leaders were ac-
tually shown in the film lead-
ing the mob in chants and songs
at the hearings. Several of the
communist leaders, such as Har-
ry Bridges, were actual leaders
and office holders in the power-
ful longshoremen’s union.
“Operation Abolition” h a d
been given top priority by the
communist party to wreck the
committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities. They were not trying to
secure civil rights and security
as they had told the mobs.
However, after many of the
students of the mob had been
arrested and taken to jail, they
seemed to realize they had been
used as pupits for the commu-
nists, whose leaders stayed in
the background out of trouble.
After the film, a drawing was
held for the attendance prize, a
one-gallon can of paint donated
by the Willie Snokhous Plumb-
ing Co. However, the winning
person had already left and was
thus ineligible for the prize.

Alert West Jr.
High Drops
Hillsboro 28-6
Out of the three engagements
with Hillsboro football teams
last weekend the West Junior
High boys were the only ones to
be victorious. The little Trojans
whipped the Hillsboro Junior
boys 28-6 in a Thursday after-
noon game.
Alert defensive play by West
spoiled the hopes of Hillsboro's
aerial-minded juniors. The old
adage that a team can score
more ways on defense than they
can on offense was proven in
this tilt. Quarterback Sam Crain
of Hillsboro threw four touch-
down passes for the night; one
for Hillsboro and three for West
In the first period the Troj-
ans picked off a Crain pass and
raced It back for a TD. The Ea-
glets retaliated quickly. They
received the kick off and Crain
hit Curtis Lewis with a pass good
for 28 yards and on the next
play he tossed to Hoyt Ridle-
huber for the final 37. A run-
ning try for extra points failed
and the Eaglets trailed 8-6.
Late in the period, another Ea-
glet mistake — a fumble — set
the West junior high lads up on
Hillsboro’s 44. Two plays later
the score board read West 14,
Hillsboro 6, as West had broken a
man lose for 37 yards. The try
for points was no good.
In the second half West in-
tercepted more Hillsboro passes,
one was run back for a TD but
canceled by a clipping penalty.
The Eaglets appeared to be
the larger team, but West’s alert
defense proved to be the dif-
ference. It was a hard-fought
game between evenly matched
and well coached teams.
Scoring touchdowns were
Tommy Gerik (2); Freddie Bin-
ner, and Thomas Kutsoherousky.
Extra points were scored by
Fred Binner, and Carlton Kar-
lik.
Utstanding for the Trojans on
defense was Keever Wharton,
Freddie Earton, Tommy Gerik,
Kike Adams and Alvin Kreder
Standouts on offense were Geo.
Smajstrla, Fred Binner, Carlton
Karlik and Ernie Janek.
Junior High now has a two-
win-one-defeat record.

A fourth quarter pass from

tween the evenly matched West

plunge by Halfback Dickinson
R.eincrt flipped to Wolverton
for the extra points and West
needed 10 points to catch up.
In the fourth period the Tro-
jans fought back with a 63-yard

The Hornets have been beaten
twice this year. Their first loss,
a non-district game, was to
Hamilton, which is rated 8th or
9th in the state. The Hornets
also lost a district game to Hills-
boro, the number three AA team
in Texas. Gatesville is antici-
pating the Hillsboro - Marlin
game, which will be played later
in the season. Should Marlin
down Hillsboro, there is a pos-
sibility of a three-way district
tie between the three teams.
Coach Carlile states that since
the Trojans are definitely out of
the district race, it is hard to
tell how they will play Friday
night. However, he added, that
this is the best way to go into a
game—with nothing to lose, but
something to gain.
The Trojans in last week’s
game against Hillsboro played
a fine first half, holding the dis-
trict leading Eagles to a 7-0
halftime lead, and tied at 6 each
In the first down department.
In the second half the Eagles
came back strong. They altered
their defense, holding the Tro-
jans to three first downs, and
added 20 points to the score
board, giving them a 27-0 vic-
tory.
The game began with the Ea-
gles kicking off to the Trojans
Kaska took the ball near the
end zone and returned to the 16
yard line. The Trojans had a
first down on the 35, moved the
ball to the 37, then last the ball
to Hillsboro as Gallager inter-
cepted a pass at midfield, and
returned it to the Trojan 21 yard
line. The Eagles moved the ball
to the goal line, but there How-
ard recovered a fumble, and the
Trojans took possession on the
20.
On third down, needing 6,
Howard pitched out to Kolar,
who sped past midfield, down
the side line to the Eagle1 25 be-
fore being stopped. The Trojans
worked the ball to the 7 yard
line, but the Eagles held. With
1:18 playing time left in the
first quarter, a fourth down pass
fell incomplete, and Hillsboro
took over.
The Eagles crossed the Tro-
jan goal line the first time with
5:42 of playing time remaining
In the second period. The six
points were registered on a 24
yard pass and run from Dick
McGirk to Dennis Scott. Joe
Galiga booted the extra point,
and the score at half time stood
at 7-0.
In the third quarter, the Ea-
gles took the kick-off, and re-
turned the ball to the 36. From
there it took them seven plays,
including one with offsetting
penalties, to score. The big play
in the 64 yard drive was by Da-
vis, who took the ball at mid-
field, around right end to the
8 before being brought down.
McGirk carried it over from the
6. A pass for extra points fell
incomplete, and the Eagles led
13-0.
Hillsboro added 7 more points
to the score board in the third
period, when once again Davis
took a pitchout, down the right
sideline for 36 yards, to the Tro-
jan 18. Four plays later Jourdan
scored, and the kick by Galiga
was good.
The remaining 1:59 of playing
time in the third quarter was
spent with West fumbling, Hills-
boro recovering; Hillsborofum-
bling, and West recovering on
the Eagles’ 31 yard line. The
Trojans began moving, making a
first on the 43, and a pass and
run from Howard to Wayne Wil-
son was good to the Trojan 20
West moved the ball to the 15,
then on 4th down needing 5.
the Eagles intercepted a pass in
the end zone.
From the 20 the Eagles moved
the ball to midfield, drew a 5-
yard illegal procedure penalty,
and once again gave to Davis
who skirted the right end, pick-
ed up speed all the way, and
crossed the goal ILne 56 yards
later. The kick was good, and
the scoreboard read West 0, Ea-
gles 27.
6:06 of playing time remained
in the game. Hillsboro began
sending in subs, but the Trojans
couldn’t find the right com-
bination to score, and the game
ended, with the Trojans passing
after recovering a Hillsboro
fumble.
