Brownwood Bulletin from Brownwood, Texas (2024)

REGISTER FOR 1955; TITLE TROPHY CEREMONY City Baseball 'Double Play' At Sportsman Park Monday Night Brownwood baseball fans and league officials will pull a "ring out the old. ring in new" double play at Sportsman Park Monday night when they close down the 1954 season with a title trophy ceremony and launch plans for a bigger and better program in 1955. First on the agenda. beginning at 7 p.m.. will be the registration of all youths who plan to participate next summer in any one of the four Brownwood leagues-American and National Little Leagues, Junior Teen-Age and Teen-Age Leagues.

League officials said that much time and trouble would be saved by registering boys now than waiting until the start of the season next year. Boys may clip out the player application form that appears elsewhere on the Bulletin sport page. fill in the necessary information, and bring the slips with them to the park Monday night. In wrapping up the season Just concluded, city and league officials will present team phies to each of the four championship winners and runners-up in the city races. Players on the championship teams will be awarded miniature bronze baseballs.

The trophies are on play at Renfro No. 1 Drug Store. Coca-Cola's Cardinals, managed by Moses Smith, won the American Little League title. Brownwood Truck Terminal, skippered by "Bugs" England, copped the National League flag. Arrow Coach Lines was the American runner-up while Shaw's finished second in the other league.

The Sports, managed by E. A. McBride and Happy Davis, swept the Junior-Teen crown as well as the Odessa district playoff tournament. In second place were the Buffs. Ross Cleaners, which won the Teen title in 1952, came back to annex the championship again this year under Managers Curtis Holt and "Frog" Guilliams.

The Santa Fe Chieftians wound up second. While the baseball program for Brownwood youth this summer has appeared very successful from most standpoints, the secretarytreasurer of Sportsman Park who has handled financial matters for the entire program, said the financial setup has not been too successful. When operations began on the program last spring, cash on deposit totaled $193.29. Receipts since that time have totaled 146.05, for a total of $2,339.34. Operating expenses up to Saturday, Aug.

It was pointed out that there are still a few outstanding bills for supplies such as baseballs, but practically all receipts are in. Bust transportation for Little Leaguers to Carlsbad, N. and to Austin is yet to be paid.

Breaking down the expenditures of the program, the $2,176.25 total was disbursed as follows: Tournament expense (teams traveling to out-of-town Playing field maintenance Umpire and Miscellaneous expenses $232.88.

There was no popping of pads -that part of the business won't become legal until Fridaybut there was much physical probing by a staff of local doctors who wanted to make sure the Brownwood High Lions would be able to stand the gaff and summer heat once the heavy labor does commence. The big training room that sprawls underneath the concrete stand was pammed with football candidates who will make up the varsity squad, the team, and junior high team.

Each boy was thoroughly checked for physical defects. None flunked his exam. "As for physical fitness," said Assistant Coach Bob Wright, "I believe this bunch of boys have reported in far better condition than any I've seen since coming here. They're trim and hard. It shouldn't take them long to whip into fine shape."

22-Hub Horton, new head football coach at Bangs High School, will throw the training switch here Monday when the Dragons open football drills for the 1954 season. Nine returning lettermen are expected to be on hand to greet the new coach at the opening practice session. Horton, beginning his first season as head coach, is a 1951 graduate of Texas was assistant football coach and head basketball mentor at San Marcos Academy last season. Most of the fire in the Dragon attack this year should come from a speedy and shifty backfield, headed by Halfbacks Ronald Hallford and Bob Sikes. Both speed merchants are juniors this year and were important cogs in the Dragon track squad last year.

A great deal of work and improvement will be necessary in the forward wall, howeyer, where the most glaring weaknesses are out on the wing positions and at the guard posts. Those gaps must be plugged before the speedy can be turned into scoring threats. The returning lettermen include three seniors, five juniors, and one sophom*ore. The Dragons will open the 1954 football season on Sept. 10 when they play host to Eden.

The first conference opposition for Bangs will come in Santa Anna against the Mountaineers on Oct. 8. Bangs will wind up the season against Burnet on the Dragons' home field Nov. 19. The 1954 Dragon schedule: Sept.

These expenditures cover operations for both the Teen-Age and Little Leagues at both parks. In addition to these expenses, a sizeable note on materials used in constructing bleachers at Sportsman Park last year remains to be paid. From this report it can be seen that additional funds are needed to take care of this year's expenses and for basis for operations in next year's program.

Officials of the program feel that benefits of the program far outweights the actually small amount of money that has been spent by the association in conducting the gram. Officials reminded local fans and supporters that in addition to the association's expenses, sors of the individual teams have spent a sizeable sum of money. Total expenses of sponsors would very likely surpass association expenses by a large amount. Sponsors deserve much credit for their support in the program, the officials stated. All fang who possibly can are urged to attend the Monday night trophy presentation.

A collection will be taken during the program and fans will be asked to contribute what they can toward placing the association on a sound financial basis. Persons who cannot attend the program and wish to make a contribution to the baseball fund may either give their contributions to one of the baseball officials or mail it to Youth Baseball Fund, in care of The Bulletin. Masters Sparks West In 6-6 Deadlock At Memphis MEMPHIS, Aug. 21 -UP, -Two all-star prep teams traded fumbles, penalties and touchdowns Saturday night and wound up in a 6-6 deadlock in the annual AllAmerica high school football game. It was the closest the West squad had ever come to winning the annual classic, as eastern teams have taken the five previous games.

A shirt-sleeved crowd of about 10,000 watched in 80-degree weather as Ray Masters, classy quarterback from Brownwood, guided the West to its score in the first period after Alvin Aucoin, a tackle from Houma, recovered an East fumble on the East 11. Masters went over for the score two plays later. The prep stars batled mostly in in the middle of the field, until the final period when the East got a drive going from its own 46 on strictly running plays, carrying down to the West three where Phil King, tall Dyersburg, balfback, went over. Jimmy Taylor of Baton Rouge, ripped off some fine gains for the West and was chosen the game's outstanding player. Both teams threatened several times, but penalties and fumbles killed off the threats.

Breckenridge's Ford Stars in Bowl Deadlock League WICHITA FALLS, Aug 20 -UP--Oklahoma still hasn't won an Oil Bowl football game against Texas, but the Sooners made their best effort in 10 years Friday night as they played the Texans to a 6 to 6 tie in the 17th annual clasic before 16,000 fans at Midwestern University Stadium.

The heavy power-packed squad from north of the Red River, who will be college freshmen next month, had the edge in everything but the score in this 10th renewal of the charity game. The tremendous running of Carl Dodd, 185-pounder from Norman, and the fine passing of Royce McQueen, Ardmor quarterback, kept the pressure on Texas' all-stars all the way. Oklahoma scored first with two minutes left in the first period when McQueen fired an eight-yard pass to Dean McMasters of asha to climax a 29-yard march, Dodd's extra point attempt was wide. The Texans, who penetrated to Oklahoma territory only once in the first half, tied it up midway in the third quarrter. Charlie Moore, Lubbock tackle, set up the touchdown when he recovered Sooner fumble on the Oklahoma 38.

Kenneth Ford of Breckenridge passed 29 yards to Ronnie Mason, Dallas Woodrow Wilson, and two plays later, Jimmy Welch of Lubbock bounced through right tackle for the six points.
