Strong Third
Gives Hutto
51-39 Victory
Keeping in, form during a lull
in the district schedule, the Hutto
Hippos Tuesday night found the
range in the second half to de-
feat the Class AA Caldwell Hor-
nets 51 to 39.
Playing a cold first half, the
Class B Hippos trailed 8-7 at the
end of the first quarter and man-
aged only a 21-21 tie at the half
But in the third quarter, on Bub-
ba Barnes’ driving layups and
Kurt Johnson’s good shooting, the
Hippos scored 12 points while
holding Caldwell to only 4 for a
35-25 lead going into the final
period.
With an 8-point lead in the mid-
dle of the fourth, the Hippos,
went into a stall. In attempting
to get the ball from the Hippos,
Caldwell committed five person-
al fouls in the last four minutes
with the Hippos cashing in on 8
of 9 from the free throw line.
Kurt Johnson controlled the
boards against the taller Caldwell
team.
The Hippos played one of the
better defensive games, said
Coach Joddie Witte, and held
6’7” center Charles Mynor to on-
ly 8 points. Glen Hovorak, 6’4”,
led Caldwell scoring with 15
points.
For Hutto, Barnes had 20, John-
son 15, Charles Nygrin 10, Terry
Priest 3, and Dan Peterson 3.
The Hippos resume their dis-
trict schedule Friday night
against Manor. The girls play at
6:30, followed by the boys at 8.

confidence about the court, never

Pad With Cards
For 20!h Season
ST. LOUIS Iff) — Stan Musial,
armed with a contract for about
$75,000 and a realistic attitude
about his future, looked forward
today to his 20th season with the
St. Louis Cardinals
The 40-year-old National League
great agreed to terms Wednes
day “within 30 seconds” and
said he had been “treated royal-
ly.”
The pact, which brought his un-
official baseball earnings to $1,-
128,777, is believed to have called
for $5,000 less than last year’s
$80,000 figure.
Neither Musial nor Redbird
General Manager Bing Devine
would talk in dollars and cents,
but Devine did say:
“The contract represents a
slight adjustment from last year
. . . to fit in with the extent of
Stan’s participation, his reduced
schedule.”
Musial, whose .275 batting aver-
age in 116 games last year belies
his true role in the Redbirds’ sur-
prising third-place finish, would
like to play in 100 games in 1961.

Georgetown Friday
The Georgetown Eagles invade
the Taylor High School gymna-

an upset that will knock their
old rivals, the Ducks, out of tho

The Ducks have played George
town once before this season when
they took a close 40-38, battle in

Since that meeting, the Eagles
have been bolstered by the re-
turn of letterman-starter Mike
