VALENTINE SLAPS
ROCKETS, 6-1
Season's Finale Winds Up
Play in North Central
Day-Night I atop
Valentine extinguished the
share-the-title hopes of the O’
Neill Rockets here Sunday night
when the visitors pounded out
a 6-1 victory in the final game
of the North Central day-an
night league 1949 schedule.
On the mound for the Valen
tine crew was Sharp, who gave
up seven hits and struck out five.
McCormack, Valentine catch
er, started things rolling for the
visiting crew in the second frame
when he blasted out a triple.
f The next two men at the plate,
Sharp and Elliot, flied out, and
then Young connected for a dou
ble with Mavch rapping out a
single. Schmidt ended the two
run scoring spree for Valentine
when he flied out to the right
fielder.
The lone Rocket score came
in the eighth, when Billy Me
ser*e got a single with one
man down. Wolfe connected
with another single with two
outs that sent Biliy racing
home to score.
Wolfe, the Rocket centerfield
er, was the outstanding hitter of
tile fracas, collecting thre bingies
in lour trips to the plate.
Graham, the Rocket chucker,
wmffed four Valentine sluggers
in absorbing the loss.

MILLER ISSUES
CALL FOR PLAYERS
O’Neill Hi eh Mentor Says
Prospects Ix>ok
Brijjht
Football jargon and the re
sounding thud of the pigskins
soon will fill the air.
Coach M a r v M;ller issued
first grid call Wednesday to
his O'Neill high school foot
ball pupils.
Asked about the outlook for
this season’s prospects in the
win and loss column. Coach
Miller said he had 12 return
ing letterman and this would
give the team the needed ex
perience to foster victories. •
Opening date for the Eagles
is September 16 at Plainview.
Between the initial prac
tice and the opening date,
Coach Miller said he had to
fill a guard spot, fullback
and quarterback position in
order to be ready for the
tough Plainview club.
However, Coach Miller com
mented, there are bright spots
in the class “B” school’s line
up as well.
Sophomore Danny Calkins
will be running in the tail
back spot from the single wing
formatiqfi. Danny, Coach Mill
er pointed out, is a versatile
player and will probably be

wins.
