Last Week’s Results
Alderson continued its bid for the
crown as it won its sixth’ in a row
at the expense of Dallas with a big
fourth period by a 55-42 score. Cris-
pell, Malkemes and Boone were the
big guns for Alderson as they scor-
ed 42 points between them. Their
high scorer Searfoss was held in
check and could hit for only seven
points. Big Ralph Templin was the
whole show for the Dallas outfit
as he hit twenty-six points out of
the forty-two that the team scored.
Templin hit for twelve of the twen-
ty-six in the last quarter.

Huntsville and Carverton display-
ed one of the best scoring games of
the year by rolling up a 63-60 score
in favor of the Christians. It was
the big second period when the
Christians rolled in high gear to
outscore their opponents by 24-14
that told the difference when the
final buzzer sounded. Four of the
five players did all of the scoring
for the Christians with Urban being
high with 20. Vancampen, Harris
and Lewis tallied 39 between them.

man. Edgar Lashford and Kenneth
Sutton wore regular clothing.
George Yurko spent the entire
first period chasing his mount,
which stood still until George
reached for the bridle, then flipped
its heels and clattered off down the
floor. Donkeys lay down on the floor
under the baskets, refusing to co-
operate with frenzied players who
had to be mounted in order to shoot
a basket. Donkeys stood on their
forelegs while their hind quarters
rose in the air, catapulting their
players down over their ears. Joe
Ellsworth connected with the busi-
ness end of a donkey and landed
on his back, breathless but game.
The capacity crowd of 900
whooped and yelled, cheering on
FFA boys and townsmen, the score
seesawing back and forth in time
to the heehawing of the donkeys,
until the final whistle gave a score
of 16 to the FFA, 14 to the con-
tenders.
On the FFA team were Kenneth
Coombs, Bruce Varner, Joe Schnei-
derite, Jack Kern, George Yurko,
Rafael Rodriguez, Ray Harned and
Al Manzoni,
Bob Norris, Ray Petroski and John
Headman, assisted with the don-
keys.. Russell Major was score-
keeper.
Players in the varsity alumni
game preceding the riot were: Leon
Kern, Jack Kern, Bill Lopasky,
Charles Hoyt, Ernest Slocum, Harry
Rood, Bert Balliet, Junior Roberts,

STATE POLICE SAY
Careful driving is just anoth-
er application of the golden
rule. It requires a high regard
for others, for their safety, and
even at times involves looking
out for those who do not seem
able to look out for themselves.

Don’t go off half- cocked,
folks. Chances are when you
contact the Dallas Post to make
a complaint, the person who
answers the phone does not
- know what you are talking
about. BUT she always knows
who has the information and
will connect you with the prop-
er party.
Wednesday at noon there
was such a call. The man was
plenty mad. He shouted that
he had paid his bill, but he did
not bother to give his name
and address. With much bel-
lowing and profanity he said
stop bothering him with state-
ments, he always paid his bills.
At the suggestion that he
wait a moment until he could
be connected with the book-
keeper, he blew up. He'd be
damned if he would wait for
the book-keeper. He was MAD,
MAD, SEE? And BING goes
the receiver.
Maybe the outgoing state-
ment crossed the incoming
check in the mails. Or maybe
the breakfast coffee had been a
little weak, or his wife had
served it in bobby-pins and a
frayed bathrobe.
It probably did him geod to
blow off steam, but chances are
he'll get another bill next
month, because there's no way
of knewing who it was.
