Shoulders, now awaiting trial on! a charge of perjury growing out of his handling of the ransom money, told the federal grand jury in Kansas City he left the two i suitcases in the car while he and Dolan took Hall into the station. While Hall was being booked, Dolan carried In one of the suitcases and took it back to Shoulders' office.

Shoulders said a little later he went outside after the second suitcase and slipped it Into his office. Police Chief Jeremiah O'ConntU said Beninato's story was being investigated, although it was vague at times. O'Connell said all the suitcases involved had been accounted for but admitted the possibility someone could have taken one and then returned it later. Beninato said he worked in St. Louis under the name of Frank Ben as a liquor salesman.

He said he had gone to see Shoulder on a domestic matter. Beninato quoted Shoulders as telling him In a west end bar last summer he planned to quit the police force next spring to take a job as a chief guard at a Las Vegas hotel. Officers also disclosed they were investigating another report that an unidentified patrolmen, had seen someone slip the twe suit- eases into the window of Shoulders' office more than an hour after Hall was booked.

Many of those same contestants who stood toe-to-toe and slugged it out for all they were worth will return here Feb. to participate in the big an- On tiie Fort Rood winning side were Robert Barksdale, light-heavyweight Negro AAU runner-up champion, and Buck Woods, middleweight pusher. Barksdale drew former AAU nual regional Golden Gloves tournament All proceeds from the Memorial Hall gate were donated to the Brown County Polio Fund.

Little Craig Clay, seven-year-old son of the late Johnnie Clay who died of polio in the summer of 1952, made the check presentation to J. H. Childs, chairman of the Polio Drive. In return, Childs handed Craig the "Johnnie Clay" boxing trophy as fans gave the little fellow a standing ovation. Three autographed footballs bearing the names of all players on the district championship Brownwood High School Lion team were auctioned off by Guy Eads, with a total of 80 more dollars going into the Polio Fund.

Layton Lawson, Mayor Smith Bell and Carl Boles were the high bidders. All three footballs were donated by Weakley-Watson Hardware, Dublin's and Firestone. San Angelo, with six victories, swept top honors in the fistic end of the business. Fort Hood and Sam Houston State College each sacked two triumphs and Tarleton State College carted off one. Scoring TKOs were two San Angelo biffers.

Paul Romero, middleweight and Marcus Milliken, welterweight. Romero gained his victory when hard-hitting Thomas Pack of Tarleton State suffered an arm injury in the middle of the third round. Milliken got his verdict in just 50 seconds of the opening round when Brownwood's James Rice bit the canvas after taking terrific punishment on the ropes. Tony Gallndo, featherweight nifty, declsioned Dick Green of Brownwood in a lively match that brought booes from the crowd when the San Angelo winner was announced. In another feather bout, Joe Font heaped more laurels for the Tom Green Glovers by winning out over John Perez of Coleman.

But it was left up to little Bonnie Walcott, the bantam favorite, to provide most of the Hall noise. The San Angelo dandy, several yean younger than bis opponent, Joe Lira of Fort Hood, saved his best Sunday punches until the final round to oop his narrow split decision vote. That was the crowd-pleaser of the night. Walcott. using a wicked left that could be heard for blocks, simply outlasted Lira.

A jolting right to the face that almost staggered the Fort Hood boy was the third-round difference. Before that however, it was Lira who kept wading Into Ronnie with vicious rights and lefts. But, the Angelo kid knew what to do, and be saved up for the occasion. The Roy Harris-Lloyd Thornton scrap, which was billed as the fea- taure bout, had little fan appeal until the final round. Big Roy, the famed Cut and Shoot product and a student at Sam Houston State, found Thornton a rather classy light-heavy opponent until the Fort Hood swinger began tiring.

Both started slowly, feeling each other out before landing any damaging blows. The tempo grew faster as the round wore on, yet fans stomped their feet in disapproval. They wanted action, not boxing skill. Harris soon cave them their wish. The crafty puncher, ucleas- tog a devastating right-left barrage, drove Tbomton to the rones and began cutting bin to ribbons arly in the last round.

A scvorchlne right sent Thornton on the ropes, and It wasn't hard to sense that It would be only a matter of time until Boy tacked up a victory. Another crushing right sent the Hood fighter to the floor, and ho came up bleeding at the nose. Harris opened full throttle, and was manufacturing a kayo when the bell ended the round. Johnny Hopkins, Sam Houston welter who accompanied Harris here, defeated Roger Yates of Brownwood in a rather dull performance. Bob Garrett Leads College Ad-Stars To Hula Bowl Win HONOLULU, Jan.

ford's ace quarterback Bobby rett bad another major victory to credit Saturday when he led the College All-Stars to an 18-14 vie. tory over the Hawaii All-Stars in the eighth annual Hula Bowl. The post season bowl played Friday night before foine 10,000 fans, was not marred by penalty agawit either team. Garret, who masterminded the West's upset over the Kelt in the Shrine East-West game Jan. 2, passed the to two touchdowns tod the team on a drive which ended in a third score foeo hard-drivlng Paul into the end on 1 Champion Brant Goodfellow AFB Thompson of for a swinging partner, and the two colored boys staged a pirn-dandy fight.

Both mixed it up all the way, and both connected with the force of a mule. Thompson, who is a veteran ring- man having won six fights In South America and enough battles to seize top honors in a Kansas City GO tourney, wasn't in the best of fighting condition. Barksdale, quite a guy, himself, was and that told the story. Al Cardenas, San Angelo middleweight, took a two-star victory over Jack Burrls. a mustachioed mauler from Wolters AFB.

It was a good slugging bee from start to finish. Perhaps the funniest bout of the evening saw two light-heavies tangling in a somewhat comical caper. David Nimigean of the state of Washington but fighting under the Brownwood banner, paired off against John Ford of Tarleton State. These two btf threw science out the window and sorted to a pushing and ihovinf act that had the in the tietet. Ford was the winner, but it wit close.

All In all, it wai a fine show. Oat that should bring three that many clustomers back to the Hall In February for the regional up.

AMATEUR URANIUM HUNTERS READY TO LEAVE ATOM-AGE RICHES TO EXPERTS By CLAIRE COX NEW YORK, Jan. 9 amateur uranium hunters have decided to call it a day and are leaving the rush for atom-age riches to the experts, a physicist who helped set off the big scramble reported Saturday. Parlor-trained would-be geophysicists who rushed over hill and dale with geiger counters, lunch pails and dreams of glory have come home disillusioned, he said. They've decided it more fun to go fishing after all even if all the big ones get away. Meyer H.

Reiss, a physicist who quit government atomic energy work to go into the nuclear age equipment business, sold thousands of geiger counters during the uranium rush of 1949. He persuaded manufacturers to turn out a $49.50 model, and would- be prospectors bought them at department store sportng goods counters. The uranium hunters tramped miles and miles over barren countrysides, hopefully listening for a geiger tick tea tcould mean millions of dollars. But, Reiss reported, about all they got was sore feet and silence, so they have given up. They've put their geiger counters in the attic or given them to junior to play atom age scientist with.

Reisa is president of Radiac and two affiliated companies. Atomic Center for Instruments and equipment and Atomlab, Inc. The com-t panics manufacture and distribute equipment for hospital atomic research laboratories and other nuclear scientific work. "The first ones who rushed to buy geiger counters were looking to be millionaires," Reiss said. "They were buying a toy with a $10,000 prize dangling from it if they found the holy grail.

The government offered $10,000 to anyone who found uranium. "The people who are looking now at least have done a little reading up on the subject, but most of them are trained for prospecting. It still isn't too expensive, even with a $100 geiger counter, because that's all a person needs to start. "Then, after a strike is made, the geologists can come in with their $20,000 equipment and verify "What started out as an oddity became a popular novelty and now it is taking its place as a serious prospecting tool." Reiss admitted he dabbled in uranium prospecting once, himself. "I satisfied my own supressed desire and went down to a spring in Virginia where the water la known to be slightly radioactive," he said.

"I actually was on a business trip but happened to have my geiger county with me and stopped to check. "I came across some hot areas, but did not have time to stop. I understand there was a very valuable strike in that area afterward. It makes me feel certain I was ea the right trail" animal pants!

gates to the NCAA convention went home Saturday with their solution to the college football television problem promising to be an explosive hangover. The governing body of collegiate sports stuck to its present policy of one game on television each Saturday but there were numerous Ideas fermenting that could grow into major rhubarbs. Eleven of the 12 members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's television committee were reappolnted during the final session, a move interpreted as an endorsement of the prevailing policy. But influental voices within the NCAA want some changes made. Principals Include the Big Ten, Notre Dame, and Pennsylvania.

The argument against unlimited television is that It would wreck attendance at small schools. But another fear hit the collegians a fear that the growing popularity of professional football on television would take fans from the college game, regardless of what the colleges do. Commissioner Bert Bell of the pros told newsmen in a long distance telephone conversation during the week that the pros had "no intention" of playing Saturday afternoon games, except in early December, after the college season closed. The pros now offer Saturday night and Sunday afternoon games on TV. There was considerable talk, but little possibility, that some colleges or perhaps conferences would withdraw from the NCAA because of its television policy.

The penalty for bolting the NCAA would be high as the withdrawing team could not compete against NCAA members or in NCAA tournaments for national championships.

Zeke Bratkowskl of Georgia passed the South to two touchdowns and was throwing hard at the finish while the partisan throng yelled him on. But the Yankees were getting their first taste of pro gold in the unique post season game and wanted the winners' shares of $500 apiece instead of the losers' $400 cut, and they smacked the brat down on his last try. South Took Lead The South took a 14 to lead on the first play of the second half when Bratkowskl passed 60 yards to Max McGee of Tulane and Glen Turner of Georgia Tech converted. But then Fllipskl and the rush- Ing Yankee line took over. Fllipskl, the 180-pound dynamo from Sacramento, who was a casualty in the West Point cheat- Ing scandal but came back at Villanova, never had such blocking at either school as he had Saturday.

A line built of Big Ten and Big Seven stalwarts tore Dixie's banners to shreds in that relentless 95-yard drive that started after Bratkowskl kicked out of bounds on the Yankee five. Center Jim Neal of Michigan State, guards Bob Hanlta and George Jacoby of Ohio State and tackle Bob Fleck of Syracuse were the main bowler-overs ahead of Flllpski. Outstanding: Player Fllipskl, who ran 109 yards in 19 tries, was voted the outstanding player by sports writers. Yankee backs swept 76 yards for a first period touchdown in 13 plays behind the Midwestern block- Carl of Wisconsin pounded down ing. Felton, Filtpski and Harland in trip-hammer plunges to the South 19.

The fleet Carl then burst across right tackle to the five, plunged for four more and Felton made the touchdown. Felton also kicked the point. The Southerners found thorny going through the North line, but In the last five minutes of the second period Tommy Lewis of Alabama, the famed "12th man" of the Cotton Bowl, broke loose for 26 yards to his own 45. Bratkow- skl fired a 30-yard pitch to Dave Davis of Georgia Tech and the ambling end went 20 more to the Northern five. On fourth down, Jerry Marchand of Louisiana State slipped around right end to score from the one and Turner kicked the tying point.

But with just three minutes left In the half Thomas lofted a pass far beyond the Southern secondary and Rocky Ryan of Illinois speared it to go for a touchdown, the play covering 63 yards.

Howard Green, president of the Class Big State League and the man behind the organization of the proposed new circuit, said that Longvlew, Greenville, i 11 a Falls, Paris and Sherman were "definitely in," and that Marshall, and possibly Texarkaua and Magnolia, Ark.

were very interested in formation of the league. A group of Maguolla oil men, headed by Joe Baskius, have told they would build and light a bal park to be leased for $1 a year to a baseball man wanting to put a franchise in that city, Oreen said. BLUEBONNET MAR. 27 Jess Neely To Referee Relays Here Jess Neely, Rice Owl head football coach, will serve as referee for the Brownwood Bluebonnet Relays March 27. Neely.

whose Owls defeated Alabama's Crimson Tide, 28-6. In the New Year's Day Cotton Bowl classic, wrote Jaycee Chairman Joe Blagg: "I'll be very happy to accept your relays invitation, and am looking forward toward seeing one of the best track and ficlc meets of its kind in the state." Blagg, a former Rice cinderman of note, has assisted with the Bluebonnet running for the pas several years. Gus Snodgrass, Brownwood High track mentor, is the director the event. The annual cinder carnival ha consistently drawn upward of 65 high school athletes from all part of the state. The meet, which 1 sponsored by the Jaycees, is heli at Lion Stadium.

Finals in th one-day meet are scheduled a night Jaycees will entertain visiting coaches and special guests at a stag dinner on Friday night be fore the relays.

BROWNWOOt) Stfftday, January 10, 1984 8 enn By TOM PENN ACC Opens Loop Cage Play With McMurry Monday Special to Bulletin ABILENE, Jan. 9 Abilene Christian College will launch its final Texas Conference basketbal campaign Monday night when thi Wildcats renew their rivalry with McMurry College in Bennett gym.

After this school year, ACC athletic teams will go independent after dropping out of the Texas Conference in December. Both the Indians of McMurry and ACC have been hard-pressed for victories this season in non- conference play and their game should be a toss-up. The Wildcats have a dismal record of two wins and 11 defeats, while record in non- conference play rated only a trifle better with two victories and ten losses. ACC's two triumphs were over Midwestern and Eastern New Mexico, the latter in the consolation bracket at the annual Sunshine Tournament in Portales, N. during the recent holidays.

McMurry's two wins were over Sul Ross. IT might be a wise idea for Brownwood basketball fans to arm themselves with big black pencils and rush to the nearest new calendar they can spot. All calendars are eligible In this race except the Esquire variety. What we're trying to put over is an important cage date, not a work of art. Once you've swiped a pencil or crayon from Junior's book satchel, turn the calendar pages to February and encircle Wednesday 3rd with great care.

Sbmething special is going to happen at Howard Payne gymnasium that night. And, We don't think you'll want to miss it. But getting down to brass tacks, the famed Harlem Globe Trotters are coming. back to town with more of their zany hardwood tom- 'oolery. That, of course, is the Western division outfit that has on such an outstanding show lere the past three years.

This new show bids to be much bigger and better than any previous performance held in Brownwood. Instead of tanallzing some up-start college team with all their tricks and amazing basketball maneuvers, the Trotters this season will match their wizardry against another well-known quintet, the House of David team. In addition, the Kansas City Stars, an all-Negro team, will take on the Honolulu Surf Riders In the opening game, which is set for 7:30 p.m. Special halftime entertainment will highlight the program. Sponsoring the attraction is the Brownwood Lions Club, with J.

H. Duke as director. Duke said the Howard Payne gym was selected in preference to Memorial Hall because of its more adequate facilities. Approximately 1,500 seats will be reserved. Tickets, which will go on sale at Weakley-Watson Hardware later this month, are priced at $2 and $2.50.

SWINGING back to football, this corner received a letter this past week from the Big Spring Quarterback Club, which we believe most Brownwood grid fans will enjoy and appreciate. Omar L. Jones and Mrs. Frank Martin, co-captains of the Big Spring Quarterback Club, wrote: "Although a little late In writing, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the hospitality, and friendship extended to our fans during our visit to Brownwood for the bi-district football game in December. "We have always considered your teams as one of the best in ability and sportsmanship, and we consider it a privilege to meet your fine team anytime.

Would also like to thank the Brownwood football team and fans for the fine support given to us all the way to the state finals. "Will be looking forward to continuing our very cordial relationships with your school in all athletics." Thank you Big Spring, Omar Jones and Mrs. Martin. And may we all say the same things about your fine school and teams. WHILE speaking of Big Spring, we have still another football brief that, regardless of its old age, is worth mentioning.

A clipping from the Big Spring Herald came to us some time ago, but seems it got lost in the shuffle from football to basketball. The article, which was written by Tommy Hart. Herald sports writer, consisted of a letter that Brownwood High's all-state fullback, Ray Masters, had penned to Buddy Cosby, the Big Spring High halfback and linebacker. "Hello, Buddy," the letter open ed. "I want to drop you a line and express my gratitude for your fine, outstanding sportsmanship.

I feel that your team is one of the greatest that has ever played high school ball. I can assure you most readily that Brownwood is behind you every step of the way to the state championship. "I consider it a great honor to play against such a fine team, even if we did lose. We're happy to have your team represent us in the semifinals and wish you the best of luck. Most important of all, though, keep up the team spirit and don't let down for a single game.

"Give the rest of the team my congratulations and best wishes. Win that state title and maybe we'll forgive you for that beating you gave us! Give J. C. (Armistead), Frosty (Robison) and the others my best wishes." Hart added this to his column: "Masters Is not only All-American on the field, he's Ail-American in every respect. "How many athletes would take it upon themselves to congratulate a conquerer, after taking licks like Masters did in that 54-12 bl-district game? Little wonder the Brownwood people think so much of him "I pray our young men can be as gracious in defeat, if they must accept it." Big Spring, as most of you fans know, was defeated by Port Neches in the state final game.

Much to this writer's regret. SADDLE ARLINGTON COLTS Lions Climb Back In 2-AAA Cage Race With 65 To 53 Win ARLINGTON, Jan. wood High's Lions eased the sting of their opening conference setback at the hands of Pleasant Grove by drubbing the Arlington High Colts, 65 to 53, here Friday night In a District 2-AAA ball encounter.

The 20 members of the NCAA's football rules committee began gathering Saturday to reconsider their surprise action that sent football back to the one-platoon system last year.

The committee, beaded by H. O. (Fritz) Crlsler, University of Michigan athletic director, opens a three-day meeting here Monday. The meetings will be closed to the press and public with the results announced later. Gen.

Robert R. Neyland, University of Tennessee athletic director, said he believed most of the committee members would be on hand by Sunday to lay preliminary plans for their work. They most likely will attempt to find some means of halting the faking of injuries to stop the clock. The American, football coaches Association branded the practice as "unethical" at its meeting in Cincinnati, but failed to outline any penalties. The committee's action last year in setting up a limited substitution rule fell like a bombshell on the college football world and brought howls of dismay from coaches who had trained several platoons of specialists.

The committee is expected to retain the rule but may give in to pressure to liberalize it somewhat. BRADY BULLDOGS COMPLETE GRID SLATE FOR 1954 Special to The Bulletin BRADY, Jan.

United States all-star rugby team complet- i ed its tour of France Saturday by losing, 31-0, to the French national team. The winners led at half time, fending conference champions, play host to Grand Prairie in other district setto at Browflwood. Benefiting from their best all- around cage performance of the young season, the Brownwood bouncers broke on top after a 10-10 first period deadlock and were never headed. Arlington fought back like a demon possessed in the fourth and final stanza, but even the mass of Brownwood subs, which Coach Roland (Slim) Warren had flooded onto the court at the beginning of the period, came within one small point of matching the Colts' offensive fireworks. The visitors were a little bewildered at first by Coach Sam Curlee's operations.

The Lions had run. into their first zone defense of the season, a piece of hardwood strategy they hadn't spent much time working against in practice sessions. So, it remained for them to do most of their maneuvering and hoop chunking from inside and outside the keyhole area. Their aim wasn't at all bad, either. Marcus Smith, who led the scoring parade with 22 points and who has the makings of a jim-dandy player, hit most of his eight field goals from the circle slot while teammate Ray Masters, who meshed 16 tallies, looped three long ones and 10 of 12 free tosses to capture individual runners-up.

honors. Brownwood, using a smooth- working man-to-man defense, put the scoring brake on Arlington's ace, Bud Remyse. The Colt clipper bagged only two field goals for a total of four points. Rodger Coble, Remyse's running mate, punctured the Lion's defense for the same number of goals but he collected six foul line shots for a total of 10 Paul Harris and Workman each garnered 13 points to pace the Colts. Brownwood went on I Mortal rampage to chalk up 20 pctttaJit the second quarter and take 20 halftime lead.

The Lions etflw back la the third period to wofe 14 points to 10 more for ton, then chipped in 22 td 29 of the Colts In the hectic fourth coach Warren used 11 players while Coach Curlee employed nine. Joe Carl teach and RobWt Martin were the only Lldne failed to connect for points. Alt Colt cagers cashed in tallies with the lone exception of Jimmy Finch. Warren said after the game that his charges turned in a "pretty good game." That could mean' the Lions are once again going to prove rough before the season grows much older. 9 9 ft i i 19 i 3 0 41T91J 4 Brownwoofl (05) Mayer Dawson Smith Nentwlf Leach Martin Wheeler Norton Elledge Hudson Tate ft ft tp 3 10 l5 123 6 99 113 0 0 fl 0 4 8 1 3 1 0 3 1 3 Player Coble Morgan Pinch RemyM Bering Nareho Munion Harris Workman 90 26 68 Score by quarters: Brownwood :.......,.10 ito 14 Arlington 10 10 10 IT 19 S3 OUR ANNUAL JANUARY Cterance CASH RAISING SALE-ALL ITEMS CASH DYING LAUNDERING Curtain Refinisher in Curtains CALL MRS.
