Coaching School
Budgie Ford to Play
In All-Star Grid Tilt
Budgie Ford, Taylor’s All-State
fullback, will be in the lineup on
the South squad' in the all-star
football game of the Texas Coach-
ing School in, San Antonio Aug.
10.
The South came off best in the
all-staters with nine compared
to six for the north.
The South squad, to be coached
by Pete Ragus of state cham-
pion Corpus Christi Miller, has
these all-state players: backs—
Timmy Doerr of Cleburne, Bud-
gie Ford of Taylor, Ernie Koy of
Bellville and Walter McReynolds
of Galveston; linemen—Norman
Evans, Donna; Stanley McDon-
ald, Katy; Vernon McManus,
Baytown; C. C. Willis, Bay City;
Russell Wayt, White Oak.
The North, to be coached by
Joe Golding of Wichita Falls,
has all-state back Gary Anderson
of Stinnett and linemen Billy
Wayne Belew of Sweetwater, Law-
rence Elkins of Brownwood, Bill
Rravitt of Denver City, Edwin
Thomas of Hereford and Tommy
Guy Wilie of Albany.
Ford, recently elected “Mr. Tay-
lor High School” by his fellow stu-
dents, was “elected” several
years ago as the community’s
“Outstanding Sportsman.”
Ford, a talented but unassum-
ing athlete who credits strict
training with giving him an ad-
vantage over other players, ear-
ly in high school athletic career
captured the fancy and respect
of local sports fans and maintain-
ed this loyalty until graduation.
The popular 19-year-old athlete
—he was elected class favorite
his freshman and sophomore
years—is also a good student
scholastically. He has maintained
an 88 grade average throughout
his four years of high school. He
has made the honor roll regular-
ly, taking his share of the “hard
nosed” courses.
Ford has always had an inter-
est in extracurricular activities
He served last year as a mem-
ber of the student council and
has been associated with a num
ber of clubs, including the chem-
istry club, science club and' Latin
Club.
Ford’s athletic record at Tay-
lor High has been “amazing” as
the president of the Kiwanis
Club, Gene Fordren, said recently
in awarding Ford the Dick Moe-
gle trophy as Taylor’s outstand-
ing all-around athlete.
During his last two years,
Ford scored more than 400 points
on the gridiron and gained more
than 4,000 yards.
As a sophomore he made all-
district. He was named all-dis-
trict, all Central Texas and all-
state his junior year. In, his sen-
ior year, the outstanding fullback
once more received all these hon-
ors and was in addition selected
by “Scholastic Coach” magazine
on the All-American High School
Team. He was one of five backs
from over the nation to receive
this honor.
He has four track letters to go
along with his four football let-
ters.
As a freshmen he ran the 100-
yard dash and the 220-yard and
sprint relays in the regional meet
and the sprint relay in the state
meet. His sophomore achieve-
ments were a carbon copy of
those of his freshman year.
As a junior he ran in the 220
and the sprint relay in the state
meet. And this year he has
qualified in the 100-yard dash,
the 220 and the sprint relay.
The six-fcot 180 pound Ford al-
so has two baseball letters earn-
ed as a freshman and senior.
He played short stop as a fresh-
man when his team won six and
lost two in district play. He is
playing second base this year and
the Taylor Ducks are picked
as co-champs.
Ford’s athletic abilities have
won him a four-year athletic
scholarship at Texas A&M Col-
lege.
He is an active member of
the Church of Christ.
And his hobbies are hunting
and boating.
FORD SELECTED—Taylor’s All-Stater Budgie
Ford has been selected as a back on the South
squad in the all-star football game of the Texas
Coaching School in San Antonio Aug. 10.

Sam Sneed Wins
Champs' Tourney
LAS VEGAS, Nev. UF) — Sam
Snead, golf’s all - time leading
|Bftnoney winner and the oldest man
the nation to win a major
tournament, heads for the West
Virginia hills today, richer by
$10,000.
Snead, who’ll be 49 May 27
finally added the Tournament of
Champions to his roll of victories,
breezing in Sunday by seven
strokes.
After a shaky start, Snead put
on the pressure in the final nine
holes to shoot a three-under-par
69 and a 72-hole score of 273, 15
blows under par.
In the process he matched the
early morning high wind and
nearly blew his nearest challen-
ger, veteran Tommy Bolt, off the
course.
Tommy hung on to take second
place and $5,000 with a 71.
Bill Collins’ 69 gave him 281
and $3,000. Bob Roseburg, with a
73 for 283, were next in line.
Jay Hebert, the leader in the
first two rounds, shot a 73 for
284 and a tie with South Africa’s
Gary Player and Canada’s Stan
Leonard. Each had a 74..
U. S. Open champion Arnold
Palmer would just as soon forget
this one. His 296 beat only three
others in the select field of 26
professionals.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS with
Team championships in golf and
tennis have been decided, with
Texas A&M winning on the links
and Texas on the court, but the
Southwest Conference baseball
championship still is very much
up in the air.
Texas leads by two full games
over Baylor but has three games
with Texas A&M this week. Bay-
lor also plays three games, first
clashing with Texas Christian at
Waco Tuesday then meeting Rice
at Houston Friday and Saturday.
Texas is playing off a 6-6 tie
with the Aggies Tuesday at Aus-
tin. Friday and Saturday the
Longhorns take on Texas A&M
in regularly scheduled games at
College Station.
If those battles don’t decide the
championship Texas and Baylor
will have to make up a couple
of rained out games.
Texas lost its first conference
game of the campaign last week
when Texas Christian edged the
Longhorns 9-8. But Texas wal-
loped Texas Christian 5-3 in the
second game. Baylor edged Texas
A&M 5-4 but was upset 15-13 by
the Aggies in the second tilt.
Texas A&M clinched1 the golf
championship last week by beat-
ing Texas 514-%. It gave the Ag-
gies a 28-8 record while Texas
Tech was beating Southern Meth-
odist 4-2 but being tied by Arkan-
sas 3-3 for a 27-14% record.
A&M plays Rice at Houston in
a won’t mean anything. The Ag-
gies could lose 6-0 to Rice and
still finish a half-point ahead of
Texas Tech.

AUSTIN — A Texan who has
collected more than 40,000 arrow
heads in the last 25 years has
written a book under the title
of “Arrows Over Texas.” It is
reviewed in the May issue of Tex-
as Game and Fish magazine,
out this week.
The author is R. S. Reading,
mayor of Corsicana. He is a re-
tired public utility executive who
started his interesting hobby in
El Paso, some 25 years ago. Since
then, he and his family have
hunted arrow heads and Indian
artifacts all over the southwest.
His present collection, number-
ing approximately 451,000, has
been classified and mounted'. They
occupy a large room in the Na-
varro Junior College at Corsicana.
He presented the collection to
the college, and it is studied by
students and archaelogists in-
terested in early-day man.
In his book, Mr. Reading des-
cribes the various types of points,
indicating which were arrow
heads and which were spear type
heads. He also discusses the type
of Indian campsites, pottery finds
and other facts unearthed' in his
wide search for the arrow
heads.
His collection comes from 91
counties in Texas and also from
Oklahoma and New Mexico. It is
recognized as one of the most
important individual collections in
the United States.
The book is from the Naylor
Press at San Antonio and sells
for $4.95.
