Embarrassed Bobcats Scrimmage
Sand Crabs at Refugio Friday
Refugio.—An embarrassed, and
somewhat crippled, bunch of Re-
fugio Bobcats will scrimlmage the
Sandcrabs of Port Lavaca Friday,
August 31, at Refugio stadium
starting at 6 p.m.
Fans are reminded of the Inter-
scholastic League ruling that limr
its team scrimmages to two hours
Therefore, the session with the
Class AAA Sand Crabs will end
at 8 p.m., if started at the sched-
uled 6 o’clock hour. Incidentally
Dave 'MicCoy is no longer with the
Port Lavaca coaching staff. He
now in school administrative work
and does not have the time
devote to coaching duties.
The Bobcats were hurriilated
IVIJonay night, on the local grid-
iron, when they engaged the Yoa-
kum Bulldogs in a scrimmage.
The Class AA Yoakum team made
the Bobcats look like Ned in the
First Reader” most of the night
on both offense and defense as the
A” teams worked on one end
the field and the “B” clubs at the
other end of the field, with the
Bobkittens having a slight edge
over the ’Cats.
The Yoakum coaching staff
is being blamted for the poor show-
ing of the Bobcats. These coaches
failed to get their team to ftefugio
early enough Monday for the Bull-
dogs to read all the press clippings
concerning the Bobcats. As a re-
sult they did not know the Bob-
cats were “ranked 10th in the
state” and “due to advance into
at least the quarter finals” of the
state play-offs. Therefore, they
came to play football, while the
Bobcats were apparently going to
toe content to exhibit to the rail-
birds watching the scrimmage the
posie of the team and the polish
with which they executed their
plays.
When Refugio had the ball it
looked, most of the time, tas if
Coach Wiese was using a six-man
backfield ... two of the Yoakum
linemen were running with the
Bobcat backs so much of the time.
On defense, the Bobcats saw Yoa-
kum complete a number of passes
— in fact, Refugio seemed to
enjoy standing around while the
Bulldogs carried out their pass
plays.
To his credit, Coach Wiese does
not place 'all the blame on the
Refugio players. He believes he
and his assistants must accept the
responsibility for the Bobcats not
being in proper condition. He has
not had the Bobcats devote enough
time to getting into shape. Since
Monday, considerable more time
has been devoted to “sprints” and
other conditioning methods.
The scrimmage proved costly to
the Bobcats in a physical manner
as one player has been lost for
the season and others injured to
an undetermined extent.
Russell Grumbles has been lost
to the squad for the season. Doc-
tors have advised the dropping of
football, with its contact play, in
order not to permanently damiage
his right knee eartlidge.
Wednesday, reports were being
awaited on x-rays made of Robert
Brock’s ankle. It is feared a bone
might be broken in the letterman
tacke’s foot.
Gorman Walton has a broken
finger on his right hand and will
not see action for several days.
Even with the hand bandaged, the
hard-working backfield man will
toe handicapped for several weeks.
George Brown, a freshman end,
is on crutches to favor a foot in-
jury. He will not be out for long,
but will miss a number of pre-
season practices.
Letterman end Dennis Phillips
has turned in his uniform, and left
the squad.
jRonnie Adrian backfield letetr-
xnlan, has a pulled neck muscle
and is out for several days.

fugio high school teams include:

Refugio Colored News
Still the same folks, but alrite.
And I do mean alrite then. I’m
sorry folks that I didn’t keep up
our static all the way through,
there was a lot of complications,
air-raids, shut-downs, and every-
thing else. Everything went hay-
wire but the Palace, and some-
times in the Cozy you couldn’t see
your hands before you.
This time it ain’t never been so
m|uch going just everywhere and
whichway in a long time. The first
to arrive after school was the pret-
ty La-Nell Richardson, and always
fine El-Nite Green. Of course I
don’t know where these honeys is
attending college but the angels
started a flux of hons tearing in
here from everywhere.
One time during these redhot
days a very pretty thing came
here from the city of Victoria to
visit her father and auntie and
other relatives. The lovely teen
Was Miss Willie Mae Powers who
is the daughter of Sandy Powers
and the niece of Delores of the
same getto. I don’t know if the
lovely chick has left but I know
one thing she is fine. (Check).
Then another I’m not surprised
atall about our Refugio its the
best city anywhere north of the
Coastal bend. Coming here from
Victoria Patti Welder after one
year is the prettiest thing I seen
since lovely Terry Msasterson. She
is pretty Mflss Jo Ann Fields to
attend the rest of her school years
here. The pretty teen is the daugh-
ter of ace tire-changer Elmore
Fields who works for Heard &
Heard. The big time is his wife
Dorothy Gene who has just start-
ed back with her fine pie making
at the Ranch Motel Coffee Shop.
The pretty girl stepped into the
Palace the other nite and I know
good and well Clyde (Doc) Green
ain’t had such a bunch of lookers
since Luke runned John. Man it
was tight every joker wanted to
dance with the honey. Along with
Jo-Ann was Laura J. Scott and
her sister Karen A. who I didn’t
even know. (But thats check -
check man.) Both chicks is lovely.
Just a few minutes later here
comes Alexander Lee Parrish Jr.
from where I don’t know, but Bob-
by Wills who changed hosses about
Del Mar and going into Air Force
and Alvin Bonner who is attend-
ing Miller come tearing around
like three college grads. There is
some that will remember Alvin
Bonner as one of first and littliest
catchers that ever put on a little
league mitt and mask when they
furst started. The youngster was
so little until nobody thought he
could straw 2nd.
Now then just last week Bennie
Green a'nd his wife from Iraan,
Texas was week and one half of
brothers and sisters other relative
and friends. We had a nickname
for that roote but it would take
two hours to explain it. (Alrite).
Bennie was reared right here at
home. He has three sisters and
four brothers and they’re all just
alike, (good). There’s Mrs. John-
nie Franklin, Mrs. Herbert La-
fond, and Mrs. Lester (Buck) El-
liott. The brothers are Boo, Doc,
Son, and Rock who lives in Mc-
Allen.
Then just before rock bottom be-
gin to crumble for the hot days
William (Hotfoot) Moran, and
Margie come in here from an A.
F. Base in Spain. They told us it
David Roberts, guard
Jake Perkins, end
Claudia Garcia, back
Charles Jones, guard
Harvey Rampley, center
Neal Ritchie, back
Danny Adrian, back
Russell Grumbles, back
John Nowell, end
Ray Lozano, back
Dare Bricker, tackle
Francis Johnson, guard
Joel Whitlow, tackle
David Nelson, end
Gordon Smith, tackle
Paul Daley, center
Richard Heard, tackle
Gary Henley, tackle
George Brown, end
John Greiner, guard
was so tough here that they was
leaving that same evening. I got
a card from ’urn the other day and
they was in Denver, Colo, right
at the top of our America in the
rocks (we hope).
Then just before the flare - up
things was lovely. (Then Boom!)
Vacations was flattered and doom-
ed for awhile. But now as every-
thing is getting back into shape
it won’t take long to escape the
angels and their funny notes. (Al-
rite) .
Talking about vacations some
don’t like to say much but let
’um git back home and they been
everywhere. Just like Rufus (Big)
Smith and his wife Sophie and 13
hams who ain’t been nowhere but
Corpus who told us he’s been in
Hobbs, New Mex. I know that
Wasn’t so, cause I seen Big in
Corpus one nite while I was duck-
ing bottle.
Folks you talk about a tough
place that’s growed up here re-
cently, thats Corpus Christi. You
don’t hafta do nothing but just
show up in places where you don’t
belong to the bunch an brother
its a footlight parade or else swim
that channel back here. (Brother)
I was there a few nites ago to
a show nuff big twister. Every-
thing was just co-pa-thetic until I
started to see Miss Sidney Ware
home. Man the roof come apart
and I was here 45 minutes later.
If it hadn’t been for Warren (Cat-
fish) Snjith I don’t think I’d a
made it. Catfish took his 1929 Ford
Coup and put me as far as Port-
land. Farther on I met sorrie of
the Reynolds Metal boys from
here, (that done it). That goes to
show It ain’t nothing tough going
all through vacation.
On top of that there has been
some that’s left here on vacations
and stacations that might not
come back. One is Rosie Shaw, a
pretty thing and school finisher of
’61 and ’62.
Pretty soon I really don’t think
its going to be many grads left
here. They told me they was go-
ing to Texas Southern Prairie
View, Marshall, Huston - Tillot-
son, A&I, Del Miar, Southern Most,
N-Tex. State, and housewives. Well
to mle cousin that’s just that good
old southern hospitality.
Thanks a million friends arid
Blue Monday is still active.

This is it. Sumpter is over this
week for the school kids and so it
is for the bowler. The youth of
the summer turn to the grid of the
school year for the next nine
months, an the bowlers turn to
their bowling balls for the next
nine months to grind out a new
average for the 1962-63 season.
Yes, the fall leagues are now un-
der way to becoming a reality,
and the interest is running high
in the ranks already. We sincerely
hope that all the bowlers will en-
joy themselves in the coming year
whether it he in league play or
open bowling.
The action is beginning to pick
up on the lanes as the season of
bowling draws nearer to the start-
ing gun. This past week there
were some big bombs thrown in
league play led by Jack Stapper
of Taft, Texas in the Metro League
last Wednesday night. Jack blast-
ed out a big 616 series to lead
the scoring for the week in the
men’s division. Not far behind,
however, was T. J. Wilkinson with
his first 600 series on the game
night in the Night Owl League as
he rolled out a smooth 607 to take
the high honors in that league.
The ladies were hardly to be out-
done however, as Ethel Montgom-
ery came through for the weaker
sex to turn in a 595 series. “San-
dy” turned in the high series for
the ladies this wteek even though
she didn’t quite make that magic
600. The series was of little con-
sequence in the end however for
the big blow by Sandy was a
beautiful 255 game in the middle
of the set. The crowd at the Bowl-
A-Rena during the sissy league
was on pins and needles as she
drilled six strikes in a row and
then turkied out in the tenth for
her very fine game. Incidentally
this is the second highest game
be rolled by a woman in the Bowl-
A-Rena since it has been open.
The house record is held by Mrs.
Jean West with a 257 in 1961.
The ladies City Bowling Associ-
ation met at the Bowl-A-Rena
Monday night for the installation
of officers and the setting up of
the rules and regulations for the
coming year. The officers for the
coming year are President: Mrs.
Lila Haertig, First Vice President:
Mrs. Virginia Colwell, Second Vice
President: Mrs. Marie Moore and
Secretary, Treasurer, Mrs. Jack
Sportsman. We wish mfuch success
to the new board.
Through the fall season that is
now starting we hope to be able
to give the youth of our commun-
ity a form of recreation that they
can enjoy and derive a certain
amount of help from through the
school year. We, here at the lanes
plan to set up junior league play
the fall season. The age groups
the fall season. TThe age groups
will be broken in two divisions,
the junior group and the junior-
senior group. The junior group
Will be comprised of from 8 to 12
year old children. The junior-sen-
ior group from 13 through high
school age children. We feel that
through the help of the parents of
these children we can accomplish
this program. This will be super-
vised instruction that these young
people will be able to obtain re-
ward from by improving their
bowling skill. The Texas Associa-
tion of Bowling Youth is sponsor-
ing a new bowling program for the
youth of our state. Through this
program the young people of Tex-
as can receive awards in the form
of shirt patches and trophies for
good scores bowled while in their
league play. We feel that it will
further benefit the young people
by providing them with the op-
portunity of team play an in-
dividual achievement. Under rules
and regulations set up by this
association there can be no alco-
holic beverages sold or consumed
on the premises while these young
people are bowling in the estab-
lishment. This is a rule we highly
condon and whole heartedly abide
by. We sincerely hope that we
may receive the help of the par-
ents in the fulfillment of this pro-
gram. The first meeting for these
young people will be Saturday,
New Tit Rules Reviewed
Eight new rules are on the books for member schools of
the Texas Interscholastic League this year, and a ninth —
listed only as a recommendation for 1962 — will become a
requirement in 1963.
That ninth one pertains to football mouth and teeth pro-
tectors.
Other new rules include:
Medical certificate and written permission of the parents
or guardians before a boy can participate.
Prohibition against football or basketball players parti-
cipating in summer camps designed to train players in these
two sports. The new rule, effective September 1, 1962, does
not apply to baseball.
Prohibitions against inter-school scrimmages in football
and basketball after the first game of the season. Rule aim-
ed at B teams that called Thursday night games scrim-
mages in order to be eligible for varsity games on Friday.
This is under the rule of one game a week in football.
No team can participate in more than one inter-school
scrimmage per week prior to first game of the season.
Any team becomes ineligible that has pre-season prac-
tices m junior high or elementary schools or that has spring
training in junior highs or elementary schools. The varsity
would be penalized for violation since TIL has no way to
penalize junior high schools.
Persons who accept money for music lessons or for judg-
ing a music contest become ineligible to compete in TIL
music events — or athletic events.
Another new rule prohibits basketball practice before Oct.
1 and games before October 15 in Class B, and Nov. 15 for
all other classifications.
Basketball games are also restricted to two games a
week, excluding tournaments on weekends and holidays.

Deadliest day in 1961 Texas traf-
fic came on December 22, when

a ball and free bowling instruc-
tion.
Again I have taken too much
room from the news so I had
best close for another week and

day. “A chip on the shoulder in-
dicates Wood higher up”. Bye now
— Happy Bowling.
