Cagers Begin Workouts;
Track Meet Set Nov. 7
- BY BRUCE CURRY -
Nov. 21 is the night when Lubbock sports fans will switch
from oval shaped to round shaped balls as the Westerners open
in a non-district tilt with Midland High.
DUE TO an official district rule, the cagers have been un-
able to work with basketballs except for the
55 minute seventh period. As a result the
team has been drilling on fundamentals and
physical conditioning after school each after-
noon. "We have been working on offensive
'situation' drills along with defense a good deal
so far," commented head Coach Max O'Ban-
ion. "There has also been stress on some in-
dividual offensive movements."
From last year's co-championship squad
are four lettermen with 10 returnees from the
"B" team. "Many people are picking Lubbock
to finish near the top of the heap again this
year," commented O'Banion. "We will have to work harder and
have even better support from the student body to match last
year's record."

Coach George Wright is putting the thinclads through
rigorous paces in preparation for coming track season. At pres-
ent the boys are divided into long distance runners and sprint-
ers. The long range boys run two miles by quarters while the
latter group runs 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes. These dis-
tances are run for time two days out of the week.
The first meet will be a cross country affair at Brownwood
Nov. 7. Senior Greg Moore, junior Richard Lyon and sopho-
more Johnny Prado will be Lubbock's entries in competition.
"We will have five returning lettermen from last year's
team," said Wright. "I think there are about five good pros-
pects coming up from the Cowhand football team and more
from the Westerners."

Enjoying an open date last week, the Westerner footballers
are preparing to meet the Pampa Harvesters. Coach Carl
Spoonemore has been concentrating on areas where Lubbock
has made the most miscues this season. There has been less
contact than usual to avoid compounding the injuries which
already plague the team.
Lubbock moves into its final four games for the year with
a 1-3 district mark. Two of the teams still to play currently
boast better conference records than the Lubbockites which
means there is still plenty of work ahead.

District 3-4A presently has a representative which is num-
ber one in the state. Garland, formerly top rated, was upset
by Highland Park 20-14 which moved Amarillo Tascosa into
first place as it held off Amarillo High 7-3. Tascosa defeated
Lubbock earlier in the season 13-7.

Fall Physical Fitness Test
Tabulated For Girls’ PE
Results of girl’s PE physical
fitness tests have been tabulated
and high scorers have been named
for the fall.
JUDY McELROY'S 100 situps
were the highest number in that
area while Janet Heineman, Judy
Whisener, Judy Pilkinton and An-
nette Anderson tied for honors in
pull-ups with 50 each. Paula Hed-
rick and Dolores Asbill gained
highest scores in the 50 yd. dash
with a time of 6.6.
Donna Trammel, Judy Terrell
and Paula topped all competition
in the 600 yard walk-run with a
time of 2:00. Linda Tillinghast
was the highest scorer of the shut-
tlerun with a time of 9.2. Pat
Hogg won the softball throw with
a toss of 144 feet; and Sandra Hen-
ey won the standing broad jump
with a jump of 7 feet 11 inches.
"ABOUT 600 girls participated
over all with the exception of band
girls who will take the test later
this fall,” comment Mrs. Sandra
Harris and Mrs. Frances Winn.
“We are pleased with the amount
of girls who completed the tests.
The weakest area in the test was
the modified pull-ups and the
softball throw which we hope we
can improve in when we take the
tests in the spring.”

Seventh District Game
Cowhands Battle Caprock ‘B’
Lubbock’s Cowhands travel to
Amarillo Thursday to battle the
Caprock “B” team. The following
Thursday they will host the Tas-
cosa “B” team in their final game,
of the season. Preceding their
game yesterday with Palo Duro
“B”, Lubbock owned a 5-2 season
record and a 3-2 district slate.
“We know that Caprock has
not done very well this year, but
every team can be tough on any
day,” stated Coach Jack Fry.
Probable starters for the Cap-
rock game are ends Mike Jones
and Kenneth Thorneburg, tackles
Joe Horne and Larry Wallace,
guards John Followill and Gerry
Hobbs, and center Jimmy Ware.
The backfield will be composed
of halfbacks Bobby Hendon and
Kenny Gage, fullback Max Addi-
son and quarterback Busty Un-
derwood.
The defense will be composed
of ends Don Hill and Thorneburg,
tackles Horne and Wallace, mid-
dle guard Allen Luna, linebackers
Hobbs and Followill, cornerbacks
Tommy Easter and Larry Barnett,
and halfbacks Jones and Dean
Davis.
Last Thursday the Hands were
defeated by the Borger “B” team
'Jt&o*' . . .
Seven buses will begin loading
at 2:00 p.m. on the 18th Street side
of the building to go to Pampa to-
night. The band will account for
three of these.
Buses are divided for out-of-
town games among Tech, Mon-
terey and Lubbock, all of which
are playing out of town. “One
reason we are having trouble get-
ting a fourth bus is that our bus
usage has been so low this year—
they had no indication we would
need very many,” said Mr. Knox
Williams, student council advisor.
Buses will return at approxi-
mately 1:30 a.m.
downs in the first quarter, a safe-
ty in the third period and another
touchdown in the fourth quarter
for a total of 22 points. Lubbock
scored on a 85-yard pass and run
but it was called back because of
a backfield - in - motion penalty.
The Cowhands gained a total of
142 yards, their smallest net gain
eight first downs. Hendon was
the leading rusher with 175 yards
charges with 12 tackles.
“Of course we were disappoint-
ed in losing the ball game to Bor-
ger,” commented Fry. “We were
out-scored but not out-hit. I was
extremely proud of many of our
boys as they displayed terrific
effort. This group of sophomores
have two more years to conquer
Borger; I am sure they won’t
disappoint you.’
If you heard it on KSEL chances are
we have the record in stock.
