Bronchos romp all over Wheeler Mustanlls, 37-7
WHEELER--Clarendon's Bronchos put a fitting touch to their
game of the regular season here Friday night, running aay
the Wheeler Mustangs by a score of 37-7.
It was a team effort, with everybody doing what they were
to do. The Clarendon defense did a good job as usual,
the offense pulled some keen stunts against a team that
how to play defense.
The win gave the Bronchos an 8-2 record and a 5-1 district
and left them in a 3-way tie for the District 2A
with Claude and Memphis. A toss of the coin
who would represent the district against Stinnett, and
story can be found on this same page.
Perhaps the most unusual event of the evening was when
Danny Monroe punted the ball, then fell under the punt and
caught his own kick. The punt fell behind the line of scrimmage,
and Monroe advanced it 5 yards before falling down.
Kenneth Reese started the scoring off for Clarendon early in
the game when he ran 58 yards for a touchdown. The run was
around right end, and he just outran everybody from Wheeler
and scored. Kenneth King's kick was good, and it was 7-0 with
9:37 showing on the clock.
Wheeler recovered a Clarendon fumble on their own 43 a short
time later, and advanced the bali methodically down the field for
a score. Lewis Britt went over for the touchdown from the 4, and
the kick tied it up at 7-7.
It was after a Wheeler punt that the Bronchos marched again.
The Broncs took the ball on the Wheeler 40, and marched 40
yards on runs by Reese, King, Jerry Holland and Randy Croslin.
King made a 1-yard run for the score, and the kick made it 14-7
Clarendon.
King kicked a 38-yard field goal near the end of the first half, .
making the score 17-7 at the half.
Clarendon rode again early in the second half. Reese returned
a Wheeler punt to the Mustang 33, and capped the drive with a
run from a yard out. The kick made it 24-7.
The Brones made it 31-7 a little later when the defense did a
magnificent job of blocking a Wheeler punt. King picked up the
fumble on the block and ran it in for the touchdown.

Auto accident reported
One automobile accident has occured in the city lately,
happening at 8:00 p.m. Thursday night at the corner of Highway
287 and Carhart. According to traffic reports, Robert McDaniels,
of Clarendon, driving a 1966 Ford, was attempting a left turn
when he was struck in the rear by Joseph Yankie, also of
Clarendon, driving a 1973 Pinto. Yankie was given a citation for
following to closely.

The Clarendon Bulldogs raised their season record to 2-0
Thursday night with an easy 74-47 pounding of the Wayland
Junior Varsity, although the game did not reach the proportions
the previous game had. The 'dogs had an extremely balanced
team effort against the Wayland crew, with Joe Pride again
leading both scoring and rebounding, with 17 points and 18
caroms. Junior Siegeler followed with 12 points and 17 rebounds
and Davey Graham put in 12 points and gathered 6 rebounds.
Archie Hughes also finished the night in two columns, putting 11
points on the board and bringing in 4 rebounds. Rounding out
the Bulldog scoring were Evander Ford and Joe Evans with 6
points each, Brent Sherrod and Steve Amerine with 4 points each
and Richard Wiley with 2 points.
The team rebounding total for the night was 58, down just a bit
from the 68 pulled in against Panhandle State, but still
impressive. The Bulldogs let the people from Wayland know who
was boss under the backboards, though, and also gave the home
crowd no doubt as to who controlled the offensive side of the
game, hitting 32 field goals of 71 attempts for a respectable .45
percentage from the field. Clarendon also hit well from the
charity stripe, sinking 10 Of 13 free throws for almost .80 per cent
accuracy from the line. Leading scorer from the foul line was
Pride, who sank 3 of the freebies.

Lady Luck smiled on the Clarendon
Bronchos Saturday morning, and head coach
Clyde Noonkester won a toss of the coin,
thus giving Clarendon the right to represent
District 2A in the Bi-District playoff game
against Stinnett.
The Bronchos ended the regular season in
a 3-way tie for the district championship with
Claude and Memphis. Representatives from
the three teams met here Saturday morning
to toss the coin, and the Broncs had the lucky
coin.
The Bronchos will meet Stinnett in
Bi-District play next Friday night in
Panhandle at 7:30 p.m.
The Broncs had been a sure pick to win
district undisputed after they beat Memphis
13-12 at mid-season, but an upset by Claude
forced the picture into a 3-way tie.
Clarendon isn't noted for winning coin
tosses. In Noonkester's 7 years as head
coach, he had never won a toss in a district
tie. And, the Broncho captains went 9
straight games this year without winning a
toss at the beginning of the game. They did,
however, win the toss Friday night, and that
apparently set the pace for Saturday's win.

Well-known baker "retires" here
by DAVID EVERMAN
Andrew Sehulze, or "Andy" as he is called by his friends, has
been in the bakery business for most of his life, starting with his
birth over a bakery in Woodville, Ohio, back in the days when
store owners lived upstairs and worked downstairs. The store
owner was his father, who later brought his family out to the
Panhandle area to homestead.
Schulze wm open Dream Donut Shop here Tuesday. The
announcement is in this issue of The Clarendon Press.
Schulze, who retired at the start of this year, found retirement
was not everything he had expected. He had bought a farm near
Hedley, but soon found retirement tedious. "I love to work," he
explained to The Press, "and I want something to do. I don't
relish the idea of laying around and not doing much. I guess I
just wanted to be useful." The new doughnut shop is located on
the corner of second and Taylor, and the Schulze home is one the
old Ed Callahan place.
Sehulze started with a small bakery in 1935, "when a dollar
was worth a 100 cents." At the time, he decided to save the
dollar and make his own flour, and he still "rolls his own" in the
flour department.
Schulze's doughnuts are not new to many Clarendon
residents, for they were often brought down to towns by a bread
truck or sometimes even a milk truck that would stop by after the
work day and pick up any excess doughnuts he might have.
Schulze said the doughnuts would probably be better received
now, since Clarendon people will be getting them straight from
the oven.
The shop here in Clarendon is the second time Schulze has
retired and found that retired life was not for him. He retired the
first time in the Second World War, then went back into business
in Panhandle in 1954. Between the war and his new business he
worked at several jobs, one of them in Amarillo, where he
assembled pre-fabricated houses.
The new store was a combination bakery-grocery store, sort of
a "quick-stop," as Schulze explained. It was during his time at
this business that his doughnuts became known all over the
Panhandle area, and his fame as a baker grew. He explained his
success by saying, "I like to make a doughnut you don't have to
chew, one that'll melt in your mouth."
The store was intended to be run in semi-retirement, but ',it
just kind of got away from me," Schulze said. The quiet business
went big-time, so Schulze ended up hiring some help, and at the
first of the year sold to one of his employes, who is now doing
well in the business.
One thing Schulze told the Press is that he was descended
from a German princess. He then explained that his
grandmother fell in love with a blacksmith, and was promptly
disinherited. The blacksmith later came over to America, then
sent for his wife. Schulze's grandfather later worked for the
government, inspecting ammunition casings, though he could
neither read nor write English.
Schulze said that he was glad to be in Clarendon, and that he
had always like the area.
