— Spring must be arriving. You can tell, because of all the
goofy things going on in the sports world nowdays. There is
the Milwaukee, Wisconsin & Atlanta, Georgia Braves affair,
for example.
When the Braves baseball club, which had represented the
city of Milwaukee for several seasons, decided to move to
Atlanta, the hometowners protested and a complicated court
battle ensued. In fact, there were two court battles. A Milwaukee
court has ruled that the Braves, members of the National League,
should stay where they are. On the other hand Atlanta’s court
has ordered the Braves to fulfill their contract with the Southern
city and move to Georgia.
The National league is in favor of the move, since the Braves
would probably make more money in Atlanta.
Then there is the Gall Cogdil-Detroit Lions controversy.
Cogdill, an outstanding receiver for the NFL tootball team Was
given credit for making some sour remarks last week. Speaking
before a woman’s club in Flint, Michigan, Cogdill is reported
to have criticized Lion head coach Harry Gilmer, one or two
of the players, and the team owners. Gilmer accepted Cogdill's
word when the football player denied making the statements.
Ah, but that was last week. Cogdill has now been placed on in-
definate suspension by the management.
And of course there is the story of a rapidly building dispute
between high schools and pro football. It seems that high school
officials are alarmed over plans by the AFL and NFL to tele-
vise pro football contests on Friday night.
This will be a hard blow to the prep schoolers, since they play
an estimated 94 per cent of their games on those same nights.
High school programs would be hurt when many fans decided to
stay home and watch the pros on T.V. Friday night.
From here it seems that pro football is rapidly killing the
goose that lays the golden egg. The professionals have been
getting their talent from the college ranks, which in turn gets
talent from the high schools. The pros have been thanking the
colleges for their help by snatching many good players before
they have completed their eligibility. Now they are thanking
the high schools by interferring with their attendance.
The professional leagues are also taking a chance on becom-
ing overexposed. Baseball declined because pro games were
played every day of the week for half of the year. Fans simply
got tired of it. If the NFL and AFL televise three or four football
games a week from August until January, the same thing could
happen to football.
Junior Homeroom
Gives Program
The junior homeroom spon-
sored by Mrs. Dennis Newton
presented an inspirational pro-
gram for the assemblies at
Graham High School on Wed-
nesday, February 2, and Thurs-
day, February 3. Reverend
Sammy O’Toole, pastor of the
Assembly of God Church, was
the speaker. He brought a very
inspiring talk centered around
the thought, “Your life is exact-
ly what you want it to Be.”

One-Act Play
Presented
A one-act play, “The Happy

grams this week. Mrs. Zearl
Williamson’s sophomore home-
room is giving the programs.
Cast members include Robert
Swain, Brandys Stewart, Ronnie
Thetford, Susan Wooldridge,
Scotty Webb, and Rhonda Walk-
er.
A late comeback’by the Gra-
ham Steers fell short as Burk-
burnett took a close 58-57 vic-
tory in a Tuesday night contest
in that city. Trailing 29-23 at
halftime the Steers narrowed
the defecit to four after three
periods of play, but though they
outpointed Burk 15-12 in the last
eight minutes, the hometowners
managed to pull out a one-point
victory.
Russell Reeves, Don Edwards
and Phil Birdwell were the
Steers top scorers in the game.
Reeves took top honors for both
teams with a 25-point perfor-
mance, Phil Birdwell scored
three field goals and added four
points from the charity line for
ten, Don Edwards hit the mark
four times from the field and
dropped in one free throw for a
total of nine points. Robert
Swain scored six points, Ray
Gameson four, Phil Grafft two,
and Jimmy Harris one. John
Edwards and Bill Roe paced the
Bulldogs with sixteen and fif-
teen respectively.

CARD OF THANKS
I would like to take this
means to thank each and every-
one who was so kind and help-
ful during my recent stay in the
hospital, and especially the
nurses and medical staff who
were so thoughtful.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Agnes Hitch
81-39, and Vernon drubbed
Breckenridge 78-66. Brown-
wood was idle.
The Coleman Bluecat’s win
over Hirschi gives that team
the second half championship
and rights to face first-half
champ Brownwood for the 4-
AAA title. Even if the Bluecats
lose their last game they will
still tie declared champions,
since they have defeated all
contending teams this half. The
’Cats are favored to beat
Brownwood in the play-off and
become the third consecutive
team from this district to win
the Region I-AAA champion-

trailed in every quarter at
Brownwood Monday evening and
finished on the short end of a
38-52 score. The Dogles trailed
22-25 at halftime, but fell behind
in the 3rd quarter.
The Dogies hit 47 per cent
of their field goal attempts and
53 per cent of their free throws.
The problem was, they just
didn’t get many chances to
shoot.
David Wallace, 6’3” center
for the Dogies, scored 18 points.
David Akers was next with 12
points. The Dogies go to Wea-
