wAxAHACHIE, Jan. 30.-CF-
Art Shires has accomplished much
and received considerable publicity
since he left waxahachie five years
ago. but the so called Great One"
says his reatest athletic thrill came
when he was wearing the football
uniform OF Waxahachie high in
1924.
The local high school team was
playing its arch rival, the Hillsboro
Eagles. The game was nearing an
end and the Eagles were leading 7
to 0 when Shires, playing quarter
for Waxahachie, hurled a long pass
which Lowell Kelley caught ever
the goal line for a touchdown. The
try for point failed and Hillsboro
still was leading z to 6.
Led by the aggressive Shires, the
Indians kicked off to Hillsboro
held the Eagles for downs and the
ball went over on the Eagle 40
yard line. Three plays failed 10
gain and Coach A. A. Scott Of
Waxahachie sent in Leroy Wilson,
now Of Dallas, to try a place kick.
Wilson could not talk on the first
play, but Sh..es knew that Scott
wanted him to try a place kick.
The Great One, however, had other
plans. He didn't intend to let Will
son do the kicking. Instead he told
Wilson TO hold the ball while Shires
did the booting.
Some Kick
The ball was passed back to VIII
son who held 1t on the Indian AZ
yard lire. Shires kicked and the
ball sailed SO yards over the cross
bar giving the Indians a 0 to Z
victory
Whenever they get together and
Hillsboro and Waxahachie fans
still talk about that 50 yard place
kick OF Shires that won the game.
Playing Shires in football caused
Waxahachie to be suspended from
the Interscholastic League, but
Waxahachie won the baseball
championship the following spring
as the league officials has nothing
10 do with that sport.
ShireS played first base and
pitched In the Waxahachie baseball
team in 1925. alternating with
Peck" Jones, who later played with
the Kansas City Blues and other
professional baseball teams.
There was a great rival between
these two players and one was
loath to let the other out do him.
1-Hit Game
That year Waxahachie went TO
Rotan out in West Texas to play
a series for the state Champion
ship. Jones hu:,ed the first game
and allowed only one hit.
Shires got sick that night. Some
said he suffered the attack so that
he would have an alibi IL he did not
also pitch a one-hit game the next
day.

les that he needed no abb sor in
