Help extracting single instance of numbers which repeat

Hi, the title isn't very descriptive but it'll be easier to explain what I need if I write out the coordinates from which I need to extract certain information:

Code:
ATOM   2521  C   MAM X  61      44.622  49.357  12.584  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2522  H   MAM X  61      43.644  49.102  12.205  1.00  0.00           H
ATOM   2523  C11 MAM X  61      45.498  50.039  11.772  1.00  0.00           C

ATOM   2537  H   MAM X  62      36.622  51.061  52.798  1.00  0.00           H

ATOM   2552  H   MAM X  63      57.185  39.814  19.797  1.00  0.00           H
ATOM   2553  C11 MAM X  63      58.520  40.106  21.426  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2566  C   MAM X  64      38.293  39.258   1.527  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2567  H   MAM X  64      37.235  39.061   1.426  1.00  0.00           H
ATOM   2568  C11 MAM X  64      38.719  40.568   1.353  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2581  C   MAM X  65      37.737  30.472  26.042  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2582  H   MAM X  65      37.065  31.282  25.801  1.00  0.00           H

ATOM   2598  C11 MAM X  66      29.856  29.416   4.253  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2611  C   MAM X  67      52.602  26.469  10.601  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2612  H   MAM X  67      52.385  25.997  11.548  1.00  0.00           H
ATOM   2613  C11 MAM X  67      53.918  26.586  10.166  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2626  C   MAM X  68      15.973  78.046  54.402  1.00  0.00           C
ATOM   2627  H   MAM X  68      15.990  78.975  53.853  1.00  0.00           H
ATOM   2628  C11 MAM X  68      14.881  77.168  54.242  1.00  0.00           C

In the 25th and 26th columns (may be some variation from copy/paste editing) there are two-digit numbers between 61 and 68 in the block I've posted above. What I need to be able to do is extract each of those numbers once only and pass each instance into separate, independent variables. Therefore given that there are 8 separate numbers (61-68) I need 8 separate variables corresponding to each.

Any help greatly appreciated. Bash or Python would be easiest for me. Many thanks.

XSetWMProtocols(3X11)													     XSetWMProtocols(3X11)

NAME
XSetWMProtocols, XGetWMProtocols - set or read a window's WM__PROTOCOLS property SYNOPSIS
Status XSetWMProtocols(display, w, protocols, count) Display *display; Window w; Atom *protocols; int count; Status XGetWMProtocols(display, w, protocols_return, count_return) Display *display; Window w; Atom **protocols_return; int *count_return; ARGUMENTS
Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies the number of protocols in the list. Returns the number of protocols in the list. Specifies the list of protocols. Returns the list of protocols. DESCRIPTION
The XSetWMProtocols function replaces the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the specified window with the list of atoms specified by the protocols argument. If the property does not already exist, XSetWMProtocols sets the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the specified window to the list of atoms specified by the protocols argument. The property is stored with a type of ATOM and a format of 32. If it cannot intern the WM_PROTO- COLS atom, XSetWMProtocols returns a zero status. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status. XSetWMProtocols can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors. The XGetWMProtocols function returns the list of atoms stored in the WM_PROTOCOLS property on the specified window. These atoms describe window manager protocols in which the owner of this window is willing to participate. If the property exists, is of type ATOM, is of format 32, and the atom WM_PROTOCOLS can be interned, XGetWMProtocols sets the protocols_return argument to a list of atoms, sets the count_return argument to the number of elements in the list, and returns a nonzero status. Otherwise, it sets neither of the return arguments and returns a zero status. To release the list of atoms, use XFree. XGetWMProtocols can generate a BadWindow error. PROPERTIES
List of atoms that identify the communications protocols between the client and window manager in which the client is willing to partici- pate. DIAGNOSTICS
The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory. A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. SEE ALSO
