that this was one of Graham's

Ed Harris, Jr. and Jerry Kir-
by of the Graham Leader and
Reporter returned Saturday
night from Huntsville, Texas
where they attended a two-day
mechanical conference at the
Southwest school of Printing
located on the campus of Sam
Houston State College. The con-
ference is co-sponsored by the
Texas Press Association.
Recently I predicted that Breckenridge and Vernon would be
the chief contenders for the District 4-AAA track and field
championship in the conference meet that will be held here
April 2. Well, that "perdiction" looked a little less than bril-
liant when Vernon made a very weak showing at the recent
Wichita Falls Track Meet While Breckenridge’s defending 4-AAA
champ Buckaraoos were coming in third with 62 points, the
Lions finished fifteenth with only 5-1/2 points.
But I still think that Breckenridge and improving Brownwood
will still have plenty of trouble from that Vernon bunch when
league schools get together at Steer Stadium next Saturday.
The Lion’s low finish at Wichita Falls was caused by tough
competition from some really hot track powers like Wichita
Falls Washington and Fort worth 1. M. Terrell. Vernon spe-
cializes in running events, but the maroon-clads couldn’t make
it against such talented opposition. Breckenridge, on the other
hand, is much stronger in field events, and the Buckaroos had
very little competition in that department
Graham’s District 4-AAA meet still looks like a three-team
race. Breckenridge and Vernon appear solid contendors, mainly
because of their speed on the track, but Breckenridge should
dominate shot put, discus and broad jump to win the team cham-
pionship.

This was an increase of 23,389

to the population of the state,
also showed a sharp rise. Gar-
rison stated. During 1965, there
were 2,967.2 crimes committed
for every 100,000 persons in
Texas. This was 244.2 more
than the 2,723.0 calculated for
1964, resulting in a nine per
cent increase in the crime rate.
“The citizens of Texas are
being victimized at an ever-
Increasing rate,” Garrison
said. “During the past year,
on the average, there was a
theft every three minutes, a
burglary every seven and one-
half minutes, an auto theft every
27 minutes, an aggravated as-
sault every 27-1/4 minutes, a
robbery every two hours and
fifteen minutes, a rape every
six hours and a murder every
nine and one half hours.
"This results in a major
crime on the average of every*
one minute and forty-five sec-
onds, with no relief in sight
unless major steps are taken
to strengthen the police forces
of our state.”__________________
