Westerners Collide With Dons In Crucial Meeting
By ALAN SEARSY
Lubbock’s Westerners, who are
once again in striking distance of
the District 3-4A lead, travel to
Amarillo tonight for a crucial dis-
trict encounter with the Palo Duro
Dons at 8 p.m.
OPENING FOR Lubbock will be
Buddy Fulgham, Larry Doyle, Ga-
ry Washington, Randy Westerburg
and Joe Dobbs. David Milburn is
also slated to see a lot of duty.
“Palo Duro has a well balanced
club scoring-wise,” said head
coach Max O’Banion. “They’re all
dangerous shooters, and they have
good speed.”
THE DONS will probably start
Terry Simpson (5-9), Mike Echols
(6-2), Henry Hawley (6-3), Gene
Storrs (5-11) and Tommy Cook
(6-2). Simpson, who is the Don’s
leading scorer and one of the dis-
trict’s best, holds the individual
high scoring effort for district
play with 46 points against Cap-
rock. In other conference games
he has averaged a little better
than 14 points per contest. Echols,
Storrs and Cook also average in
double figures.
Coach O’Banion noted that, the
Dons “had played some real good
games and some bad ones.” He was
quick to add, however, that it
“seems they’ve never played a
bad game against us.” In the first
Lubbock - Palo Duro match last
Dec. 31, the Westerners handed the
Dons a 69-56 drubbing, but that
was on the Lubbock home court.
By virtue of last Tuesday’s 42-
39 win over Borger, and Monte-
rey’s 56-43 loss to Plainview, the
Westerners are now only one half
gam6 out of first place in district
standings with an 8-3 mark. Front-
running Monterey (9-3) will bat-
tle Amarillo High tonight in the
Lubbock Coliseum.
THE BORGER win was hard
won as the Lubbock squad had to
fight from behind in the last few
minutes of the game. Borger’s
Bulldogs, employing a half court
press and an effective zone de-
fense from the beginning of the
game, jumped to a 12-6 first quar-
ter margin and a 26-19 lead at in-
termission.
With three minutes gone in the
third quarter, it looked as though
the Bulldogs, who pushed their
margin to 32-19, were going to
walk away with the win. But from
that point the Westerners began
their upsurge, and by the end of

the quarter had cut the deficit to
35-27.
WITHIN THE next three min-
utes three quick baskets by Wash-
ington gave the Westerners a 37-
35 advantage, their first of the
night. From that point the West-
erners played a diliberate game,
picking their shots to make it 41-
37.
It was not over though, as Bor-
ger’s Joe Robinson was fouled
with 16 seconds remaining. The
lanky Negro, who led Borger with
10 points, hit the first charity
throw but missed the second. He
got the rebound and had a chance
to tie the game, but missed on a
short jump shot. Dobbs got the
final point on a free throw, and
the Westerners won, 42-39.
WASHINGTON led Lubbock in
scoring with 16 points, and Fulg-
ham was second with 9. The West-
erners, who were pretty cold from
the field, hit only 16 of 54 attempts
for a slender 27 percent. They did
a little better on free throws, hit-
ting 10 of 20 for a 50 percent av-
erage.
Last Tuesday at Chapman Field-
house the Cowhands trounced the
Borger Bullpups 75-48. This vic-
tory gave the Cowhands a 7-4 dis-
trict slate.
LUBBOCK LED throughout the
entire game and was never in
trouble. They led at the end of the
first quarter by a score of 14-6
and took a 31-20 lead at half-
time.
In Coliseum
Third Annual Track Meet Opens Monday Night
The third annual Lubbock In-
vitational Indoor Track Meet will
unfold at the Lubbock Municipal
Coliseum Monday night with the
first field event beginning at 7
p.m.
SOME OF THE top athletes
from the United States will par-
ticipate in this meet. The one that
will probably be of the most in-
terest to the people of the South
Plains will be Randy Matson from
Pampa. In his high school career,
Matson threw the shot 60-6, which
is still a record in the state.
One of the most recognizable
names in the meet is Parry O’Brien,
a former University of California
weightman and two time gold
medal Olympic champion. He has
entered the meet unattached, but
is a member of the Pasadena Ath-
letic Club.
O'BRIEN, WHO has thrown
the shot 62-7, will be competing
against Matson, Danny Roberts,
Texas A&M, (59-3%); Richard In-
mar, Oklahoma University, (58-
10); Jim Lancaster, Baylor, (57-10);
Frank Mozza, Baylor, (57-10) and
Roger Orrell, ACC, (55-5).
Another great thinclad entered
in the meet is Ralph Boston, who
is competing against five others
for top honors in the broad jump
division. Boston’s best jump of
the season, 26-10M>, came in the
recent United States-Russia meet.
RETURNING THIS season to
defend his title in the broad jump
against Boston will be Bill Miller
of McMurry College. He won this
event last year with a jump of
24-5.
Of the five tracksters entered
in the high jump, Boston also has
the best leap, 6-9. Also entered in
the event are John Nunly, Okla-
homa State, 6-7, and Jim Collins,
Texas A&M, 6-6.
FRED HANSEN of Rice Univer-
sity, last year’s winner, tops the
pole vaulters with a vault of 16-
2Vz. His winning leap in 1963 was
a mere 15-6. Also entered in this
event are four other men who
have cleared 16 feet.
For the first time in the two-
year history of the meet, there will
be no division for high schools.
This change results from the new
Interscholastic League rule which
has gone into effect this year.
Even though there will be no high
school division, there will be a
junior high mile relay in which
the Lubbock Independent School
district will be represented.
ALTHOUGH Lubbock High has
no male participants in this meet,
sophomore Susan Richards and
junior Linda Fuller will run with
Mary Rose, a former Lubbock
High student and outstanding
track star now with Lubbock
Christian College, and Sharon Bell,
eighth grader at J. T. Hutchinson,
in the Girls’ Four Lap Relay. Oth-
er schools with girls representing
them are Post, Slaton, Abilene,
Fort Sumner, N.M. and two teams
from Fort Worth.
Last week Mary was voted out-
standing woman athlete of the Al-
buquerque Indoor Track Meet.

THAT'S known as
"A MESSAGE FROM
THE SPONSOR."
Itfc different...! like it!
It’s a good message, Harmon — 10, 2 and 4 have
always been favorite times for Dr Pepper. But any
other time does just as well, because Dr Pepper is
a completely different kind of soft drink. Not a
cola, not a root beer, it’s a happy blend of many
fruit flavors. That’s why so many people say, “It’s
different—I like it!”
You’ll say the same thing, Harmon — every time
Dr Pepper rolls your way.
