Win Ups Redbirds’
District Record
To 2-0; LG Is 0-2
By Allan Levin
Coach Lee Mitchell’s Colum-
bus Cardinals flew over the
La Grange Leopards in a
sweeping 34-to-13 victory for
the Redbirds at Columbus Fri-
day night.
The Cardinals struck first
when tackle Billy Sweat re-
covered a Leopard fumble and
sprinted 34 yards for a Card
tally. Back Pat McGill’s kick
for the extra point was wide
to the left.
The Leopards got the ball
rolling when Quarterback Jer-
ry Call went for 17 yards to
the Cardinal 46 Fine runs by
Ronnie Voss and Bennett Rit-
chie brought the ball to the
Redbird 21 with a first down
and 10 situation. With a fourth
and one on the Card 12, the
purple and gold was penalized
five yards. Call gambled and
threw to End Jerry Bains in
the endzone. The pass play of
17 yards was complete for the
Leopard tally. Ritchie’s kick
was good, and this found the
Leopards with a 7-6 margin
over the Redbirds.
After a Leopard kickoff, Mc-
Gill returned the ball to the
Cardinal 47. Back Jim Hajov-
sky later brought the ball to
the Leopard nine yard line.
Then a pass from Back Tootie
Mitchell to McGill was good
enough for six points fdr the
Cardinals. McGill went a-

Inc., will observe its 60th anni-
versary with an open house at
its place of business in La
Grange, 138 W. Travis St., be-
tween the hours of 2:30 and 5

All friends are invited to
call and see what an abstract
and title insurance office is like
and to see how it operates.
The present company began
business Oct. 2, 1902—although
the nucleus of the firm was be-
gun in 1865, it was not com-
pleted or operated until 1902—
under the direction of J. C.
Brown. John Schroeder was
in the employ of the company
at that time, left briefly from
1909 to 1911 (during which
period he worked in the Ge-
neral Land Office of the State
of Texas and also in the Lee
County Abstract Co. office)
and returned here as manager
in 1911. He has been with the
JOHN SCHROEDER

company continuously
that time.

Garden Club Meets,

Program On Roses
The La Grange Garden Club
met Thursday afternoon in the
Hospitality Room of the First
National Bank with 30 mem-
bers in attendance. There were
also three visitors, Mrs. Ange-
lica Williams of San Antonio,
Mrs. G. Garter of Houston and
Mrs. Henry Roth. Hostesses
were Mesdames Don i
H. S. Lang, Wm, E. Meyer^d
Edward Mattingly.
It was reported that the mu-
seum building will soon get
the last coat of outside paint
and then the white trim will be
applied. As soon as the foun-
ber of stops Cox made
day in seven Central
counties.
Cox told the people
gathered on the court
lawn here;
“The Democratic party you
have today is not the same as
the one your father and grand-
father knew.”
He also repudiated the
charge that he is not running
as a Republican. Cox declared
that during the GOP state con-
vention, he told the nearly 4,-
000 delegates and alternates at
Fort Worth he was proud to be
a Republican. He also pointed
out that he is introduced at all
GOP rallies as the Republican
nominee for governor.
“You’ll have a chance to vote
for a man free of Washington
or any machine control and for
one who isn’t, Cox said as he
told his listeners that for the
first time in many years they
have a choice at the polls.
Accompanying the barn-
storming candidate—who tra-
vels via chartered bus with his
party—was the same five-piece
band whose country-styled
renditions have been attracting
crowds for the GOP nominee.
Cox began the day Thursday
by breakfasting with 25 sup-
porters at Bastrop. After stops
at Smithville and La Grange,

Top.
The large rock house, form-
erly known as the Schuddema-
gen home, was purchased in
recent years by the Nielsons of
Houston who have restored it
4° its original beauty. It was
recognized by the committee
for its architectural refinement
being constructed along Teu-
tonic lines. It is located on
Highway 237 in the western
part of Round Top.
The Medallions are awarded

Other members of the Fay-

Head-on Collision
In Rainstorm Ups
Fayette’s Toll To 9
Fayette county’s 1962 traffic
toll was raised to nine Sunday
when four persons were killed
in a two-car collision, about
1.1 miles west of Flatonia on
Highway 90 during a heavy
rain shower at 1:30 p. m.
The dead:
Irene Beatrice Lacey, 69, of
Dubarry, Fla.; Hazel N. Green,
no age available, of Baltimore,
Md.; Willie Williams, 35, and
Diane Laford, 9, the latter two
of Flatonia.
Two other Flatonia persons
riding with Williams and the
Laford girl were injured and
admitted to the Youens hospi-
tal in Weimar. Edward Butler,
45, and Ella Lucille Laford, 6,
were both listed in critical con-
dition. Williams, Butler and
the Laford girls are Negroes.
Deputy Sheriff C. A. Pnlop
investigated the accident, a-
long with Patrolmen Swan and
Wilkerson of Schulenburg, De-
puty Fritz Prilop of Schulen-
burg and Deputy August Brun-
ner of Flatonia.
The La Grange officer said
the Lacey and Green women,
with the former driving, were
going east in a 1962 Ford and
the colored people, with Will-
iams at the wheel, were travel-
ing west in a 1955 Ford when
crash occurred.
The impact demolished both
vehicles, Deputy Prilop said,
with some pieces strewn over
a wide area.
JP Jesse F. Tlemann held
the inquest, ruling accidental
death by auto collision injur-
ies.
Crowleys Have Good
Hunt In Colorado
The J. B. Crowleys of the
Warrenton area and their son,
James, just out of the Air
Force, returned late Saturday
following a highly successful
deer hunt to Disappointment
Creek, Colo.
The Crowleys bagged four
big bucks, whose combined
dressed weight was approxi-
mately 1,000 pounds. The
spread on one of the deer fell-
ed by the elder Crowley meas-
ured 30 1/4 inches. He has en-
tered it in a $10,000 contest
currently underway at Las Ve-
gas, Nev.
Two former Fayette men, L.
E. and W. C. Gau of Austin, a-
long with Larry Hollingsworth
of Johnson City and a Califor-
nia octet, also were in the par-
ty. All found good hunting, Mr.
Crowley reported.
This year’s hunting trip was
minus the sad experience of
1961. When returning from
Colorado last year, the Crow-
leys’ pick-up was struck and
demolished by another vehicle,
necessitating hospitalization
for the affable Warrenton peo-
ple. I
