Wildcats Show Spirit
In Pre-Game Workouts
:*, M !
, A B-team-Kitten game may be on the l,ine Thursday
afternoon. The game will get underway immediately fol-
lowing the parade opening Highway 67.
Cecil Tucker, Junior High School coach, said that the
two teams may make it a game, kickoffs and the time
element involved. But other sources are anticipating a
scrimmage.
Little Bill Lindley seemed to have taken it on him-
self to win the ball game last night—and he did. The
seventh grade lad handled the ball most of the time '
*1* the locals 70 yard scoring drive against McKinney
last night. ’ *
The lone tally scored by Lindley gave the seventh
grfcders a 6-0 victory and added their second win against
no defeats. The Junior High School kids had battled a
scoreless game until the final minutes.
The Junior High School eighth graders will tear
up the turf at Wildcat Stadium tonight when they host
Greenville for the second time this year. They will be
searching for their second win over the neighboring
town. They downed them 21-7 in the first game.
They already have two victories credited to them
and are out to make it victory number three.
The spirit at high school seems to be very high as
the opening 6AAA district game swings around the cor-
ner.. The football boys are fired up and are anticipating
hopping around the Gainesville crew like a kid on a pogo
stick.
L, F. Bridges is back in the lineup. He has been out
the past three’weeks with a briken rib.
But when one comes hack in, another goes out.
And Jack Ward, who handles the opposite end from
Bridges, will more than likely sit on the sidelines in the
Gainesville game.
He suffered a knee injury in Monday afternoon’s
workouts. The loss of the defensive and offensive start
will certainly be felt by the Wildcat squad.
We picked seven out of 13 games, right last week
for a very poor average. That brings Our total for the
season to 44 right out of 63. What guessing!

V* GRAYSON'S SCOREBOARD *
New York—(NEA)
Sal Maglie’s art?
“Everybody in the park throws
harder than Maglie,’ says Fresco
Thompson, the old infielder in
charge of the Dodgers’ farms,
“but The Barber mastered the sci-
ence of pitching.”
“The hitter tells Maglie what
to pitch,” says Eddie Lopat, the
long-time Yankee junk man who
this year managed the Richmond
club Of the International League.
The squatty Lopat appreciates
Maglie more than most. Lopat
looked more like the proprietor
of the neighborhood delicatessen
than the champion of the Cleve-
land Indians, which is what he
was, but craftiness took him con-
siderably farther than a lot of
pitohers with all the necessary
equipment ever get
What Lopat means is that the
batter and the situation tells Mag-
lie what not to pitch.
Catchers—when they are free
to talk—will tell you that some
pitchers are a pleasure to catch—
and this does not & e p e n d on
“stuff." They mean that the pitch-
er takes full advantage of the 17
inches of plate he faces.
Maglie, with his control and inti-
mate knowledge of the batters’
likes and dislikes, strives to make
the hitter hit his pitch. He tries
to ‘‘get ahead of” the hitter. That
given him a wider margin in us-
ing both corners of that 17 inches
of rubber.
Maglie remembers every pitch
to everj. hitter. The smart hitter
alsor remembers what he did or

CASEY’S STILL AT BAT—Casey Stengel stands before a photo
mural of Yankee Stadium in the Yanks’ New York office, holding
the two-year contract under which he’ll continue to practice the
fine art of pennant-making for the Yanks, at a salary of $80,000
per year. It’s the fifth two-year “lease” for the 66-ycar-old man-
ager, who has guided his teams \o seven pennants and six world
championships since 1941). (NEA).

Play Old Rivals
great game of guessing on the
succeeding times at bat.
Maglie takes into consideration
the batter’s stance, idiosyncrasies,
the number of outs, the acore,
everything. He tries to keep the
batter' off balance—sets him up
for a certain pitch—high inside
and, then the curve on the out-
side, etc.
The ordinary hitter can be fool-
ed by the same pitch—even when
the pitcher tells him it's coming.
But a pitching pattern will not
stop a good hitter, who is first to
wonder if the pitcher will follow
the pattern. The good hitter looks
for the pitch that fooled him the
last time.
Maglie, with that precise, cor-
ner-cutting curve, doesn’t have to
outguess right-hand batters as
much as a less artiful hurler. The
real thumpers, the Mickey Mantles
and Yogi Berras, are the ones
who signal to Maglie and His sixth
sense what to pitch, or what not
to pitch. 4:
Maglie, like all skillful pitchers
before him, sometimes throws the
obvious, but to the batter the ball
he leaat expected. Ahead of the
hitter, say expects anything but
the fast ball—and especially any-
thing but the hard one right down
the middle.
Well, that’s just what the bat-
ter gets—not more than once a
game, maybe not more than once
a season to a hitter. Therein lies
the surprise.
The pitcher looks at the batter,
and as Eddie Lopat says, the hit-
ter is telling him' what he is think-

Commerce, (Spl)—East Texas

A 70-yard drive headed by Bill
Lir.dley in the final three minutes
of play gave the Junior High
School seventh graders a 6-0 vic-
tory over McKinney Monday night
at Wildcat Stadium.
It was the second straitght vic-
tory for the seventh graders in as
many starts. They downed Mt
Pleasant in their opening game
13-0.
The two evenly matched teams
played the entire game on the 50
stripe until the locals notched a
score.
The scoring drive began on the
Sulphur Springs 80 yard line. In
a handful of plays, Bill Lindley
scored. The drive was aided by
two 20 yard scampers by Lindjey,
and several short gains by hint.
The try for point was good, but
an offside penalty against the
locals moved ft back and the sec-
ond try failed.

Coach J. V. Sikes hinted that he
may remodel the starting line-up
as a result of outstanding per-
formances of inexperienced play-
ers in the Tech game. He declined
to name the new faces until later
in the week.
Quarterback Jerry Crawford
took over the team for the first
time this year. Bobby Beene
caught his first pass in collegiate
football and another end, Bill
Hopkins, looked good. End Ken-
neth Deason returned to his old
position at tackle.
Two veterans Jerry Matthews
and Bobby Ewell, halfback, play-
ed outstanding ball, Matthews,
quarterback, passed nine times
and completed six. Ewell gained
52 yards on the ground while La-
mar Tech netted only 71 yards.
Also Curtis Spivey, regular end,
caught two passes, one for a
touchdown, and made eight
tackles.

One minor change in the lineup

Bridges Returns
To Grid Lineup
For Gainesville
L F. Bridges, Wildcat left end,
will Teturn to the lineup for Fri-
day night’s battle with Gaines-
ville, Head Coach Bob Pyle said
Tuesday morning.
Bridges went out of the Mt.
Vernon game in the opening min-
utes with a broken rib. Hs has
been occupying the bench since
then.
Tri-Captain Jack Ward sustain-
ed a knee injury during workouts
Monday afternoon and it is doubt-
ful whether he will be able 'to
start Friday night. Loss of Ward
will put a dent in the line.
Travis Owens, who was moved
to the left end slot, may take
over right end duties. Since
Bridges has returned to the line-
up, Owens is out of a job.
However, Pyle will put the 181
pound lettcrman to work in on*
position. A junior student, he was
originally tagged ^as a center for
the Wildcats.
Both teams when they clash
Friday will be after their third
win of the season. The Wildcats
are holding their own with a 2-2
record, but the Gainesville eleven
is a game in the red. They have
won two games and have dropped
three.
However, their defeats came at
the hands of some powerful teams.
An extra point was the difference
in the score when North Side Ft.
Worth beat them 14-13. Breck-
enridge beat them 25-0. And last
Friday Weatherford managed to
beat them 18-7.

in the new kind
of FORD?
Here’s what put the magic ■
the new kind of FORD!
It started with the “Inner Ford.” When
Ford planned this baby, they thought in
terms of a car through-and-th rough new.
The Wheels got smaller. This Ford is so
new that even the wheel* have changed. Now
smaller and broader, they help you take off
quickly.
The wheelbase got longer ...» mam jam
can choose between a Fold that’s over Mt ft.
long—or one over 17 ft. long!
The frame got wider. Side rails bow oat
to give a more- stable, safer riding platfrem
... a lower, sleeker silhouette.
The ride got smoother. With acw suspea-
siotV new springing front and rear, the ride
this new Ford gives is the smoothest ever.
The handling got easier. Poised and bal-
anced like a panther, this car has swept-back
front suspension that works its magic when
you need it most.
The power got hotter. There’s a wide
range of Silver Anniversary V-8‘s to fit every
horsepower need* . . . pins a new Mileage
