By Richard Hilt
As Coach Pattison put it at
the pep rally last week, the West-
erners are really getting down to
the core of their schedule now.
The donnybrook at Pampa to-
night perhaps will be the Black
and Gold’s toughest game thus
far in the young season, since the
Harvesters have virtually steam-
rollered everything and everyone
standing in their way this season.
* , * *
As a matter of fact, a look at
Pampa’s 1950 record reveals that
in most cases they would be more
aptly called the Grim Reapers
rather than just plain Harvesters.
* * *
Most impressive of Pampa’s
victories was, in our estimation,
last week’s 14 to 0 defeat of the
Wichita Falls Coyotes, who,
although losing the nucleus of
last year’s state championship
team, have a liberal smattering
of lettermen back this year.
* * *
The dismal showing thus far of
the usually-powerful Coyotes has
been the surprise of the year in
Texas schoolboy football. In ac-
complishing their almost unbe-
lievable about-face, the Wichi-
tans have played three games,
lost all three, and have'failed to
score against any of their foes.
* * *
Personally, we hope that the
Coyotes recover from their pres-
ent state of inertia, and start
winning games with their old
ease again. We’ve heard it ex-
pressed recently that the tragic
death of Wichita Coach Joe Gold-
ing’s son last August may have
had some bearing on the team,
but, whatever the reason, we hope
that the Coyotes soon snap out
of their slump.
* * *
Not very many people are
cognizant of the hours and hours
of hard, head-knocking practice
that the Westerners undergo in
the course of a complete season,
or, for that matter, even in just
one day. However, you can get
a good idea of the mayhem that
the footballers endure simply by
taking a look at the individual
pictures in the programs which
are on sale at each game.
* * *
Next time you have an oppor-
tunity, take a close look at each
picture. Notice the tired, worn,
frazzled, how-long-do-I-have-to-
live-doctor? look on their faces,
and then, for comparison, check
the happy, jolly, Ipana-smile ex-
pression on the mentors, who had
been sending the boys through
the paces when the pictures were
taken. Any player will tell you,
though, that it really isn’t as bad
as all that.
y Play Of The Week
Not once, but twice in last
Friday's Westerner-Bobcat tilt
did Quarterback Charles Brewer’s
precise aerials drop into the re-
ceptive hands of End Dean White
for Lubock touchdowns.
Charles Brewer, in both cases
drifting out wide to the right,
found White almost alone in the
end-zone eagerly awaiting a pass.
Not only did both of these
aerial plays occur at nearly the
same place, but both were pre-
ceeded by spectacular runs of
over 60 yards.
Potent Pampans To Play
Host To Black And Gold
Pampa's Potent Harvesters will play host to the Lubbock
Westerners tonight at Harvester field, when the two clubs meet
in one of the featured state class AA attractions.
Coach Tom Tipps' charges have compiled an impressive
string of victories this season, with a mark thus far of four vic-
tories against no setbacks. Most impressive of the wins was
last week's 14 to 0 victory over Wichita Falls, last year's state
champs. Vernon fell before the Harvesters' scythe by a 33 to
12 count, and El Paso High underwent a 54 to 6 shellacking.
The Green and Gold has shown considerable improvement
this year, and this fact is attested -—--
to by the fact that Wichita Falls
defeated the Pampans twice last
year, 20 to 12 in bi-district play
and once in a regularly-scheduled
contest.
The 1949 meeting between
Lubbock and Pampa was one of
the season’s best, with the West-
erners finally taking a 33 to 20
decision at Jones stadium.
Coach Pat Pattison’s squad will
be hampered somewhat due to
injuries, with Guard Ross Craig,
Tackle Bill Waters, and Back
Jack Weldon out of the game.
Pampa is given the nod this
year by most experts as the Dis-
trict 1-AA champ, and is expected
to waltz through its conference
schedule with little trouble from
Amarillo, Plainview, and Borger.
Big Spring B Downs
’Hands In Close Duel
Led by the rqnning of Richard
Prahm, the Big Spring “B” team
pulled an upset out of the bag
when they defeated the Lubbock
Cowhands 14 to 12 at Big Spring
Saturday night.
The Big Spring boys scored
first when they captured a Lub-
bock! fumble on the Cowhand
15-yard line early in the initial
quarter. A few plays later
Prahm plowed over from the 4-
yard line and Donald Richardson
booted the extra point to make
the score 7 to 0 in favor of Big
Spring.
The Cowhands scored next,
with Harold Teal going over for
the touchdown. The try for ex-
tra point was no good.
Brewer’s Passes Count Twice As
San Angelo Downed by Westerners
On two passes from Quarterback Charles Brewer to End
Dean White, Coach Pat Pattison's Lubbock Westerners downed
the San Angelo Bobcats 13 to 0 last Friday night at Jones
stadium.
The Westerners' first score came early in the second quar-
ter with Halfback Mac Taylor and Fullback James Sides carry-
ing the ball to the Bobcat 9-yard -
line. From there Brewer threw _ ,, ^ ,
Gold were James Sides and Dayle

zone. Bill Davis missed the ex- the Bobcat attack.

Score By Periods
Lubbock .............. 0 13 0 0—13
0 0 0—0
The Plainsmen’s last touchdown
was also made in the second stan-
za. Brewer connected with a
pass to End Don Jones which San Angelo ........ 0
went all the'way to the San An-
gelo 12 yard line. On the next ____
down Brewer pulled exactly the
same play he used so successfully
earlier in the quarter and lofted
the ball to White, who caught it
for the score. Davis converted
and the Cowpokes led 13 to 0.
In the second half both teams
were off and several scoring at-
tempts by Lubbock bogged down
before they were able to reach
the double stripe.
Outstanding for the Black and

by Shirley Cartwright
While visiting the last period
gym class Friday, we found we
were just in time for a talent
show. Following a hard game of
ball, Mrs. Pittman suggested
that the class divide into two
groups and give a program after
about two minutes preparation!
Well, the first group jsang,
“Music, Music, Music,” while Joan
Hughett, Pat Rhea, Tottie Harts-
field, and Pat Phillips danced the
“Can-Can.” Then Charlotte
Cranford, Betty Tosh and Pat
Norman did the Charleston while
the group sang, “Margie.”
The other side entertained
with a hillbilly skit. The actress-
