Refugio Scores
2 Shut-Out Wins
Refugio. — Two shut-out victor-
ies have been scored by the Re-
fugio high school Bobcats as they
evened their season record at two
and two to conclude a four-game
Rome stand.
Last Thursday the Bobcats de-
feated St. John of Robstown by a
1 to 0 count, then Tuesday after-
noon they white-washed the Mathis
Pirates 5 to 0,
Jimmy Bloom was on the hill
for the St. John game and limit-
ed the visitors to three hits. This
"was Bloom’s first mound appear-
ance of the year.
Refugio was not powerful at bat
getting only two hits—a triple by
"Hoot” Gipson and a single by
Neal Richie.
Gipson scored the lone run of
the game. He drew a base on
balls to start the second inning,
then raced home after two were
out, on an error by the first base-
man, who let a throw get away
from him.

Men's Golf Tourney Opens Saturday
Clarence Schweitzer Fires
Sparkling 31 for 9 Holes
Refugio. — Clarence Schweitzer, dependable and low-
scoring golfer at Refugio County Country Club, blazed his
way to one of the most spectacular rounds ever turned in
at the local golf course last Saturday . . . when he blistered
the links for a 31 for nine holes.
Schweitzer’s 31 represented four under par of 35; and
is believed to be the best round shot since Ben Tabor’s course
record of 29 was made some years back.
Schweitzer followed his 31 with a fine 37 on the second
nine . . . thus giving him a superlative 68 for the 18 holes.
But, the real story rested in his 31 for the first round.

Tuesday afternoon, Danny Heard
turned in a fine hill perforance as
he hurled a one-hit victory over
Mathis, striking out fourteen bat-
ters. Heard, allowed only three
runners to get on the base paths
as he hit one batter. But did not
issue a base on balls. Refugio out-
fielders had an “off day” as not
a ball was hit out of the infield.
Refugio catcher, Russell Grum-
bles, had a busy day, snagging
three pop-ups.
Refugio’s six hits were divided
among an equal number of play-
ers, with Jimmy Broom’s double
being the only extra-base hit.
Refugio jumped into a two-run
lead in the second inning when

Gets Hole-in-One

ton, Charles Calhoun, made an ace
on the second hole.
Calhoun stroked a 7 iron to the
second green, 138 yards away. The
ball bounced a few times . .
then rolled into the cup — thus
fulfilling the “dream” of every
linksman.

ry Ward Brymer, Bobby Autry,
and O. D. Bell.
Calhoun is the son-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. Autry.

Record Entries Endanger
Refugio Relays Records

June Butler of Karnes City, Jim-

Hesseltine of Sinton will probably
put their names in the record
books for the first time While Bill
Johnson of Taft and John Fisher
of Pettus are attempting to im-
prove on their own year - old
marks.
Butler could threaten the 440-
yard dash record of 50.5 and the
shot put mark of 51-9 1-4 while
Brown should have little difficulty
Press Box
By HOOTER MacGRAIL
From where did they all confe?
Over 750 boys have been enter-
ed in the Refugio Relays.
Coach C. B. •'Bob) Jones along
with the school athletic de-
partment feels highly compliment-
ed that so many coaches and their
boys are interested in taking part
in the meet It’s going to be lots
and lots of work for the local
group ... so anything you and
I can do to help, let’s do it.
iCiass A and AA of high school
baseball advances through re-
gional play, while Class AAA
and 4-A teams coniinue until a
state champion is determined.
Regional play is the meeting of
the winners of bi-district cham-
pions — thus extending possible
play for district winners for two
additional games.
Volleyball team is putting in
hard practices to prepare for their
first “real” game on April 21. The
girls have been playing their prac-
tice games with Woodsboro.
Members of the A team include
Laura Lynch, Shirley Chappel,
Joanie Ferguson, Carolyn Hebert,
Cindy Arterburn, Karen Arter-
burn, Mary Green, Mary Ander-
son, and Beverly Claybrook.
Those playing on the B team
re Pattye Crutchfield, Sharon
Dawkins, Pam, Nixon, Marilyn Mja-
han, Judy Mahan, Pat Connor
Bobbie Robinson and
Williams.
RHSites will put their noses to
the grind stone this week end to
prepare for the fifth six weeks’
test next week. This brings to
mind the wonderful fact that the
end of school is only six more
weeks away!!!
Good luck to the RHS track
team in the Refugio Relays here
Saturday (April 4). Here’s hoping
they win many medals and a tro-
phy for RHS.
The Superintendent of Schools at
Victoria states that the system
there would be happy to host the
regional basketball tournaments.
(Regional play was conducted in
the larger than Victoria College
gym, then transferred back to the
college site. Reason for shift
back to the smaller college court
unknown by Victoria college offi-
cials thus far questioned! and Vic-
toria school system orficials.
“Stump” Evans, director of the
1964 Class A regional mieet at Vic-
toria told Press Box there was no
game for third place, because no
game was set - up in the informa-
tion furnished by UIL headquar-
ters.
It doesn’t seem just to have
teams, students and fans travel
more than a hundred miles for a
game at 9 a.m. (meaning that
student bodies, moms and dads,
school officials, etc. were up be-
fore the break of day) then told
“go home” rather than meet the
team defeated in a gamie which
started about two hours later.
Charlotte (from, Atascosa Coun-
ty) and Hitchcock (from, near Gal-
Loistene | veston) has such an experience
this year as they were defeated
in first round games.

Buddy Strauch
Fractures Leg
In Rodeo Event
Refugio. —t Buddy Strauch suf-
fered a fractured leg while taking
part in a rodeo Saturday night.
The son of Dr. and Mrs. W. H.
Strauch is a student of Refugio
High School and was participat-
ing in the bareback riding event
at Yellow Arena on Highway 202.
As he was thrown from the horse
he suffered a fracture in the low-
er part of his left leg and a cut in
the same leg from the spur worn
on his right heel.
Hackberries harbor many pests, sion stand.
Jake Perkins, official scorer for
the Refugio High School baseball
team, finds that “Work” is a good
way to describe the performance
of his assignment. As he gains ex-
perience, he finds that the scor-
er has some six to twelve entries
to make in the book each time
there is a play.
As said here earlier, Jake is do-
ing a good job.

Another good job at the baseball
park is being done by the mem-
bers of the sophomore class. They
are operating the concession stand.
With Blocker Meitzen serving as
public relations representative for
the class, as well as general work-
er, the group has increased the
line for merchandise to include
both hot and cold drinks, hot pop
com as well as peanuts; estab-
lished a “to the customer” deliv-
er service; received special an-
nouncements . . . and now special
mention in the newspaper.
Good going, Sophs, and you are
getting better and better . .
just like the team. Comes some
real baseball weather and there
should be a real crowd there to
enjoy the game and the conces-
breaking the high jumjp standard
and Hesseltine should smash the
pole vault record of 12-4.
Johnson holds the 100-yard dash
record of 9.8 and Fisher set the
mile run mark of 4:37.7.
Steve Lane of George West is
another outstanding athlete enter-
ed in the meet but it is doubtful
that his name will enter the rec-
ord books in his specialties — the
hurdles events.
Ray Cunningham, a graduate of
Refugio High School and former
University of Texas great, holds
both records — 14.3 in the 120-
yard high hurdles and 19.0 in the
180-yard lows.
Coach Charles B. Jones has re-
ceived entries from over forty
schools. These entries are from
1. Agua Dulce, 2. Aransas Coun-
ty (Rockport), 3. Aransas Pass,
4. Austwel-Tivoli, 5. Banquette,

Refugio.—Refugio County Coun-
try Club golfers start gunning for
he various championships of the
club this Saturday, when those
who wish to do so will shoot for
medalist honors.
It is not neeessaiy for those
competing in the tourney to fire
for medalist laurels . . . although
Saturday’s- opening day of the
tourney win be “available” to all
those who wish to db so.
The first full week of the club
championship tourney will be from
April 5 to April 12. First round
matches will be run off to divide
the various flights.
Brackets for the various divi-
sions of the tournament will be set
up this week. They will probably
follow along the lines of the club
handicaps given the golfers. There
may be some change in the align-
ment of the flights in light of
scores turned in Saturday, during
the medalist firing.
Handicaps for the regular golf-
ers on the course have been de-
termined for those not previously
having one . . . and have been
“up-dated” for those who have
formerly owned handicaps.
The club tourney will be held
from Sunday, April 5, through
Sunday, May 3. Garland Gregory
is defending club chamjp, having
defeated the former champion, T.
J. Wilkinson, in the 1963 finals,
4-3.
The two will probably enter this
year’s test as favorites for the fi-
nals again. Clarence Schweitzer
looms as a “dark horse.”
Entry fee for the tourna-
ment will he $5 iper person. Each
person is “guaranteed” three mat-
ches, regardless of how he fares
in the first round.
The ladies' annual tournament
will be held at the conclusion of
the men’s test . . . sometime in
May.
