Early writers tell us that
the Gauls, some 2,000 years
ago, were mixing beech ashes
and goat fat into a mixture for
cleaning dishes and clothes—
sounds like soap to us.

The Graham track squad scored one point as it finished last
in the Canyon Reef Relays at Snyder, Saturday. Snyder scored
119 points to win first place in the AAA division, while Breck-
enridge finished third with 90, and Vernon was fifth with 35,
Hirschi sixth with 28. This seems to be a rebuilding season
Graham’s thinly-clads, as more than half of the squad members
are sophomores and freshmen. Larry Wooldridge came in sixth
in the 880-yard run to give the Steers their point.

It's beginning to look as if the Casslum Mohammed Ali
Clay-Ernie Terrell championship fight has finally found a
home. After being chased out of several major cities in the
U.S. and Canada, the March 29 scrap has been slated for
Toronto, Onterio. It was originally scheduled for Chicago.
The problems started for Clay when he made a few un-
patriotic remarks when he was faced with the possibility
of being drafted just before the fight. Perhaps Clay’s most
objectionable remark was that concerning his membership
in the unfamous Black Muslims. He told newsmen that Muslims
around the world were watching the affair with interest, and
wouldn’t like it if Clay was drafted. This and a few other
statements by the world’s Champ disgusted many people, in-
cluding Chicago authorities, who refused to allow the fight to
take place in their city.
Before it was announced yesterday that Toronto would take
the title bout, several cities had turned down the fight, but
several others Were bidding for it. Among the later, interest-
ingly enough, was Brownwood, Texas.
Texas basketball championships were decided in Austin
this last weekend, with Houston Memorial, San Antonio Mar-
shall, Fort Worth Lake Worth, Gruver, and snook winning in
their respective divisions. Lake Worth of class AA and Snook
of class B were winners for the second time in a row.

members of the National Foot-
ball League.
Dowdle, Defensive Captian of
the San Francisco Forty Min-
ers, and Jerry Don Logan, All-
Star Defensive Safety of the
Baltimore Colts, told of their
experiences in the professional
league.
Logan stressed competition
as the main drive whether it is
in sports or the business world.
He played collegiate ball at
West Texas State, and was the
nation’s leading cllege scorer
in 1962. Logan is No. 20 All-
Star defensive safety with the
Colts, and he became one of
the most feared free-safetys
in the NFL in 1965. He played

Now how on earth did a town ever get a name like Snook?
As luck would have it, Snook’s top basketball player is a
fellow named Calvin Gerke. Strange as these names may be,
we doubt if anyone laughed at them at the tournament, as
Snook won its second class B title in a row and set a record of
seventy-eight consecutive basketball games won, and Gerke set
a tournament mark by scoring 35 points in the final game.

Nearly 400 Graham citizens
and youngsters paid tribute to
Jerry Don Logan and Mike
Dowdle during the Graham Jay-
cee Presentation held Satur-
day night in the American Le-
gion building.
It was “Dowdle-Logan Day"
in Graham Saturday and the an-
nouncement marque on the
northeast corner of the square
proclaimed the fact to those
passing through the city.
An added treat was the ap-
pearance of David Parks, San
Francisco 49’er, who led the
NFL in pass receiving last
season. He met Dowdle and Lo-
gan in this city over the week-
end. The three young men are

Maybe Brownwood would be a good place' to bold the fight,
but we think, there might be a better town in Texas tor it. How
about the little Northeast Texas community of Bugtussle. The
town has a very appropriate name for an athletic event of
this type.
