Reynolds Is Chosen For AAU Finals Charley Reynolds, ace Texas Tech sprinter and Border Conference champion in the 100-yard dash, placed second in both the 100-meter and 200-meter races at San Antonio Friday night and will receive an all-expense trip to the AAU finals in Milwaukee, Wise. The lithe, fleet Reynolds, currently playing softball in Lubbock, barely lost the 100-meter chase of Perry Samuels, University of'Texas speedster. He then chased Longhorn Ace Charley Parker over the finish line in the 200-meter race. Receives Invilalioni Spectators said that contestants were so closely bunched that it was difficult to pick winners and that Reynolds, given another pace, might have emerged the victor in both Despite being nosed out, Reynolds' efforts were so outstanding that he received a special invitation from Eric Pohl, Southwest District A.

Reynolds, a student in the summer session at Texas Tech, has received permission to go to Milwaukee as a member of the Texas AAU team. The fleet speedster is one of the top dash men ever to attend the Lubbock institution. He consistently ran the 100-yard dash in 9.7 this spring and in the annual Border. loop meet repeated his triumph in the century.

He fell short of repeating as- 220-yard dash champion, but still placed with a respectable mark. In addition to the dashes, Reynolds, also was a member of the outstanding Raider sprint and mile relay teams. Weidner Meets Frank Murdoch A top wrestling card has been for Wednesday night at Sled Allen's arena, with six old favorites returning to maul and grapple each other in two hours and five minutes of scheduled wrestling. The main event, this week features Bill Weidner, the Boston Bad Boy, who will tangle with Frankie Hill Murdoch of Waxahachie, Tex. Weidner had little trouble winning last week and made a good impression on the spectators, while Murdoch also won a match last week, beating Gil Knutson.

LUBBOCK AVAIANCHE-JOCRNAL Lubbock, Texas, Sunday, June 27, 1948 HUBS' MOORE WITH SOUTH Oilers Place Six On South Squad TTnUVnxr. -f nil I- TTrtOn DALLAS, June 26. Pampa placed six men on the 1948 South Ail-Star team that will play the North All-Star nine Saturday night in Abilene, according to the rosters for both teams announced tonight by Milton E. Price, president of the West Texas-New Mexico League. The loop's defending champion The Lines UH JOE KKLLV Every once in while some one brings up the question of what Texas Tech's football team, its basketball team, its track or tennis team will be like in tee 194849 season.

Wex don't have the vaguest idea. We may hope and wish and pray, but when it comes right down to 'what the various players will do as a unit in action, they are a ponderous question mark. We know, what some of them can do individually, we know what they would all like to do.

No can stand such losses and not them, especially when capable replacements do not seem to on the way in plentiful numbers. Let'i look at lome of Ihe losses in football through graduation alone, not even taking into consideration other losses. Of two starting ends, the Red Raiders have lost Joe Smith of Electra. Joe is a war veteran who lettered in 1942, 1946 and 1947. He is going to the Baltimore Colts of the All American Conference, where much is expected of him.

He played in the North-South game last December and won rave notices. He followed this with tha Sun Bowl, where spectators also exclaimed over his play. He will be missed and missed deeply.

Neither man is afraid to get rought, but Kohen is a little wiser in the ring wars. Both men are about equal in size and a good show for the fans is anticipated. The semi-windup is billed for a 45-minute time limit and will be two out of three falls.

In the preliminary match, those old reliables, still feuding, return to the arena again, as Gil Knutson and Olan Boynton tangle. Boynton pinned Knutson some weeks ago and the latter is still striving for a victory. Both men probably will 1 ignore the 20-minute time limit placed on the match in an attempt to win early. team. So Bernie Winkler of Temple and George Zoller of Van will be gone.

Bernie was co-captain of the 1947 team, a navy veteran and a letterrnan in 1943, 1945-47, He was the first man ever to win four letters.

He lettered at center in 1944, then earned three more at guard in 1945, '46, and '47.

He started belting them to glory- be 'way back in the days when he was fighting Charley Retzlaff.

And in what he says was the last fight of his long and incredible career he nailed one of the fanciest of all the man named 'Arnold Cream, who calls himself Jersey Joe Walcott. He pulverized the clowning Max Baer, the original wayward bus. When Arturo Godoy squatted around the ring like an ape, and rubbed menthol salve into Joe's eyes, the salve was Arturo's idea of a good hair groom) it bewildered Louis. But the next time he fought the Chilean he cooled him in eight when the man tried to ham it UD aeain. A notable instance was the dispatch with which he dispensed of Lou Nova, who had sold himself on some preposterous Guru gibberish which was to make him impervious to pain.

Lou brought something called a cosmic punch into the ring and something called a dynamic stance, or some such, which was a crude squat made none the less crude by the fact that, he moved his arms up and down beside his ears like pistons. Joe knocked, him into a flat pin-wheel. Just as he blasted fancy dan Conn the second time around. And Walcott, of course. Walcott was winning I thought if that's the word.

At least he wasn't losing, any more than any man who doesn't get hit ever lost matter what the rule books say about "making the fight." Louii Got Mad Walcott struck and he ran, struck and ran, struck and ran, and in those moment or concern and disgust when Louis tried to crowd him and beat him blue and red, he out-punched Louis and made the champion cover and grab. Walcott grinned malevolently at the ease with which he feinting a Louis tremulous and winceful and lull of self- hugs. Maybe it, was that grin of Walcott's that made Louis the raging force he was in the llth round. Maybe not. Maybe it was the almost insolent manner in which Walcott would drop his guard and swing his arms like an ape, that caused Louis to come at him like a hungry tiger.

Maybe not. It's hard to tell about fights. Sometimes the men themselves don't know. The important thing for the biographer is that Louis to cool out a fancy dan. He broke, through the tinsel or the charm or the buck-and-wing or the squat or the mood that enabled an opponent to' wave to friends in the fourth row, and smashed that man to the out.

Sox, Ramsey And Russell Hurl Lubbock To Double Victory Over Anjarillo AMARILLO, June 26. Lubbock Hubbers moved closer to the first division tonight with a double triumph over the faltering Amarillo Gold Sox, the visitors winning the first game 11-9 and the eight-inning nightcap 4-2.

Red Ramsey, although he needed relief hurling Bob Clodfelter, won the first game and Cotton Russell, who pitched a superb contest, took the second tilt. Lubbock trailed in both games, but had the power to come from behind to win, making a 15-hit attack good for 11 runs, in the opener and a six-hit salvo good for an overtime victory in the second. One Big Inning i i 1' Unravel Gold One big inning did the trick in the opening with the Hubbers scoring six runs in the top of the seventh. It was fortunate that they did, for Arnarillo staged a drive of its own that fell only two runs short of knotting the count. Charley Scarborough opened the seventh with a walk and stole second.

Manager Jackie Sullivan fanned and Virgil Richardson drew an intentional pass. Floyd Walker then pumped a single to left scoring Scarborough and Chick Fowler's single to the same spot sent Richardson across the plate. Gene Hixson was safe, on an infield hit, but Frank McAlexander fanned. Ramsey took a hand in the proceedings. He blooped a Leaguer in left centerfield and three runs came across to insure the Hubber victory.

Ramsey In Trouble Ramsey got into trouble in the bottom half of the same frame. He fanned Dick Willett, but proceeded to walk Jerry Folkman, Doug Lewis, Bob Crues and Paul Halter to force in one run. Clodfelter came on to face Dick Gentzkow and he smacked one of the lanky hurler's pitchers over the leftfield fence to clear the bases. Clodfelter tightened to end the danger. In the second game, Amarillo made the most of a first inning onslaught to take an early lead.

Willett walked and went to third on Folkman's double. Lewis walked and Crues popped to Richardson. Halter walked to force in one run and Folkman scored when Buck Fausett grounded out. Hubbers Stage Rally After that Russell didn't another hit until the' sixth inning and blanked the Gold Sox for the remainder of the game, giving up only two more hits, both doubles. The Hubbers'went after the victory in the fourth, when Sullivan and Richardson singled and Fowler was safe on an error by Halter, Sullivan scoring.

Another run counted in seventh to tie up the game when McAlexander walked, Russell sacrificed and Scarborough dumped a single over shortstop to score McAlexander. He was out at the plate, after stealing second, trying to score on Sullivan's single. Amarillo Threatens Again The Hubbers won the game in the eighth on a walk to Richardson, Moore's sacrifice, Fowler's stroll, an outfield fly, by Hixson and McAlexander's single to right that scored Richardson. And when Crues booted the ball, Fowler rushed in to score. Amarillo threatened in the final half of the inning, Willett walked and went to third on Crues' double, after Folkman fanned and Lewis skied to Scarborough.

Halter walked and Fred Pollack came on' to hurl. Fausett pulled himself in Gentzkow, but Gentzow tapped back toward Pollack, Jho slipped and fell, but still managed to toss a backhanded ball to for the final out. Lubbock took a lead in the first ame, after trailing at the start added to the margin in the 1th, when Richardson and Walk- hit successive homers.
