many stories that previously would have been confined to the
sports page could be put in other parts of the newspaper.
Herds of yong musclemen gare being offered contracts fat
in excess of half a million dollars to perform for professional
teams. Considering these sums of money, newspaper articles
along this line could be put on the financial and business page

Then you will understand the
mighty mental maneuvering of
a 14-y ear-old East Texas boy
who had read in anational maga-
zine about the free public hunts
on the Kerr Wildlife Manage-
ment Area, and then probed the
prospects for sharing in the
annual fall event.
The young fellow, writing with
ink on ordinary school compo-
sition paper, used a firm hand
to identify himself and to look
ahead to the time when not only
himself but other family mem-
bers might go on a full-scale
deer hunt.
"If there is an annual deer
hunt would you please send me
instructions on how to enter in
it," wrote the youngster, “If
you have to come withla party,
my dad and uncle would like
it too.”
Courteous to the last, he
closed:
"Thank you for your time and
consideration.”

It is the annual postal card

The Department uses the ap-
proximately one-tenth of the re-

Already, informative data is

from 3-AAA and 4-AAA, Coleman easily led, as each member
of the Bluecat’s starting line-up made the team. Roy Holloway
and Mike Dieterich were on the first team, Chris Mayo made

honorable mention selections. Brownwood placed four athletes,
though the Lion’s only first-teamer was Roger Richie. Rollin
Hunter and David Henley were second-stringers, and Jimmy
Piper took honorable mention. Lewis McCall of Breckenridge
was another honorable mention choice. It is interesting to note
that District 4-AAA placed an even dozen men on the list, as
compared to four for District 3-AAA.

The Texas girl’s basketball tournament was completed in
Austin Saturday, with Tulia taking the AAA championship,
Spearman winning in class AA, Jourdanton in class A, and
Round Top ofCarmone in class B.
Perhps the strongest of the four champions was Round Top
of class B. Led by six-foot one-inch Marilyn Auschenbach,
Round Top climaxed an unbeaten season by beating Deport
57-32. Auschenback scored almost all of the points for her
team (144 in three tournament contests) as she led Round Top
to a record of forty wins and no losses.
But the hard-luck team of the tournament has to tie Spearman.

Wouldn't it be terrible to be the sports editor ioi a big
dally newspaper during this hectic spring season' In the world
of athletics, summer is baseball season, fall is football sea-
son, winter is basketball season, but spring Is mass con-
fusion season. This is the time of year when every imaginable
type of athlete competes in every conceivable form of contest
Spring sports have started, summer activity is preparing to
get underway, winter games haven't wrapped up their final
competition yet, and even fall sports manage to get into the
act
Baseball bats are beginning to ring in parks all around the
country from Little League to the majors, tennis performers
are warming up for unportant tournaments, and track and
field squads prepare for conference meets. Professional golf
creates big headlines, featuring names like Sam Snead, Arnold
Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Despite the warm weather there
is plenty of action indoors as basketball lingers on, with all
but the finest teams weeded out in the national championship
tournaments. Football has been hibernating for over two months,
but with spring training underway on the gridirons of many
colleges and high schools, even that sport makes news.
The result of all this activity seems to be a crowded sports
page, and an increase in the sale of aspirin tablets as editors
try to treat their splitting heads.

A couple of special races
were held that night. Amarillo
Tascosa warmed up for track
meets in future years by win-
ning sophomore relay races
over Breckenridge and Odessa
Ector sophomores.
Top showing by a Graham
athlete came in the prelimi-
naries when the Steer's Ray
Gameson finished second in his
heat in the 880-yard run. Game-
son’s time of 2:06.1 was fourth
best among the sixteen entries
in that race. Larry Woolridge
was tied with Odessa High’s
Jerry Chancellor for fifth place
in his heat.
Graham’s 440-yard relay
team came in second to it’s
heat, and Marvin May ran third
less than one second. The mark,
held by the 1962 Abilene High
team of Willis, Harris, Middle-
brooks and Evans is 3.22.6, but
Saturday night, the 1966 Eagle
milers ran a 3.23.1. Tascosa
led the race until the third lap,
win Monteith ran a 48.7 leg to
put the black and gold team in
front, and Billy Taylor held off
the Rebs to the finish line.
Abilene was in fourth place be-
fore this race, but the twenty
points earned by the victory
put them in second in over-all
point standings with 70.
The Breckenridge Buckaroos
rode the arm of strongman war-
ren Hart to finish third. Hart
won the shot put with an ex-
cellent toss of 58 feet 8 inches,
and topped a weak discus field
on a throw of 142 feet 1 inch.
Despite the fact that Hart won
the discus event, his toss was
disappointing, considering the
fact. that his -throw was in-
ferior to the toss of 142 feet
9 inches that earned him a mere
fifth place here last season.
Hank Gunlock bopped 21 feet,
11-1/2 inches to nab second
place behind Tascosa’s record-
breaking Carter in the broad
jump, Frank Riney placed third
in both the 120-hlgh hurdles and
the high jump.
Odessa High, Borger and
Brownwood fought a stiff battle
for fourth place, but Odessa’s
Glen Martin and Don Whitley
finished 1-2 in the mile, Lar-
ry McKay won the pole vault,
and Ronnie Peoples took home
all the marbles in the high jump.
Mark Clatham, also wearing the
red and white of Odessa finish-
ed second behind Breck’s Hart
in the discus. Borger received
strong support from Mike Neely
and Richard Klatter who placed
second in the 440-yard dash and
high jump respectively, and
Terry Bob Moore who ran third
in the 220-yard dash. Brown-
wood was runner up in the 440-
relay, while Kirk Wall was third
in the 100-yard dash and Leroy /

dash.

A writer with a Kennebunk,
Maine, RFD address, wrote a
polite letter about a very ex-
haustive tour, providing elbow

ing: "I wish to spend some
weeks in Texas photographing
wildlife, plants, etc. ...I would
very greatly appreciate infor-
mation about...where I may
work slowly and carefully with
cameras".
A mighty army ofRebels from
Amarillo Tascosa High School
swept to an overwhelming vic-
tory Saturday as they success-
fully defended their crown at
Graham’s Possum Kingdom
Relays. Despite fine efforts
from several other AAA and
AAAA schools entered in the
19th annual track meet, the
panhandle crew made a sham-
bles of point-total competition
by totaling up 140-1/3 points,
twice as many as nearest rival
Abilene, which scored 70. Fin-
ishing third was Breckenridge,
which posted 66 team points,
the best performance among the
half-dozen AAA teams compet-
ing in the high-school division.
Odessa High scored 58 for
fourth place, Borger 45 for fifth,
and Brownwood 41-1/3 for
sixth.
More exciting was the scram-
ble for the top spot in Division
I, which saw Iowa Park’s track
and field empire crumble under
an onslaught by the determined
Seymour Panthers. Seymour
sped to glory on the wings of
its strong 440 and mile relay
teams as it amassed 74 points.
Jacksboro totaled 60 for second
place, Olney and Quanah tied
for third with 42 each, and Iowa
Park was shoved down to fifth
place with only 38.
A total of forty-three teams
were entered in the two-division
meet, and they were blessed
with beautiful weather during
most of the action. A heavy lay-
er of clouds followed by cool
north winds moved into the area
at about nine a.m., but mid-day
saw the sky begin to break
through, and It was clear by
one o’clock. It was crisp, but
not especially cold for the fi-
nals that night.
Records were expected to be
broken, and they were-one in
each division. The most excit-
ing performance was that of
Stamford’s Kenny Link who ran
away from the field as he crack-
ed the mile run mark with a time
of four minutes, thirty and sev-
en-tenths seconds. This almost
six seconds better than the
standing reebrd which was set
. by Reeves of Weinert in 1956.
Jerry Carter of Tascosa had
leaped twenty-one feet, nine
inches to set a broad jump
record here last year, and Sat-
urday the Rebel star won that
event with ajump of twenty-two,
nine and one-half to alter his
own mark by better than a foot.
Another record-setter com-
mg back from last year was Ab-
ilene High’s Robert Monteith,
who had turned in a time of
one minute, fifty-eight seconds
to set the 880-yard run mark
to 1965. This time around Mon-
teith couldn’t equal that perfor-
mance, but he more than made
up for it by winning the 220-
yard dash, the 440-yard dash,
running a crucial lap on the vic-
torious Abilene mile - relay-
team, and finishing fifth in the
broad jump. This busy schedule
gave Monteith a total of 27
points to earn high honors to
individual scoring. The speedy
Eagle scored ten points for Abi-
lene with each of his first-
place finishes, two with his
fifth place, and five for his
performance in the mile relay.
High-point honors for a Divi-
sion I athlete went to Terry
Don Richardson of the Quanah
Indians, who amassed 22 points.
In reviewing the Division n
competition, it would appear
that quantity rather than sheer
quality gave the TascosaRebels
their team championship. The
red and black-clad speedsters
managed only four first places,
while Odessa and Abilene were
close behind with three. Tasco-
sa’s real power lay in the depth
that allowed it to score points
in twelve of the fourteen events,
and finish third or higher to ten
events. Second place Abilene
cashed in on points in nine

At approximately 7:11 p.m.
Wednesday night, we assem-
bled with a "new-old” opening
ceremony with Randy Stewart as
a Scout Hikes, Terry Barnett
read the story, "Two Knap-
sacks,” a story of the treck
through life. Tim Bryan said the
Oath and told what it meant to
him again. Then we had brief
Patrol Corners and afterwards
the Scribes made their reports.
After the reports, Christ Pat-
terson told his favorite Scout
Law, Clean, and told why he
chose it. Then Louis Duke did
the same with Trustworthy as
his. Our Scoutmaster, Spencer
Street, read from a March
Scouting Magazine, a letter
from an ex-Scoutmaster to Da
Nang, South Viet Nam, telling
how much his boy scout train-
ing has helped out over there,
Then we renewed our "Boy's

Then Scout neckerchiefs
were presented to Tenderfoot
Skipper Waggoner and Tender-
foot David DeLong. Afterwards,
we had advancement and games.
The meeting ended with every-
one in a darkened room hum-
ming Taps, with Clair Corse
saying the Scout Oath, and Ter-
