The Graham High School ten-
nis team will compete in It’s
second tournament of the sea-
son Friday, March 25, when it
travels to Brownwood. Coach
Bud Huggins will take sixteen
athletes, eight entrys in the
“A” division and eight in the
“B" division.
Gene Graham and sue Bur-
kett compete for honors in “A"
girl’s doubles, and Ellen Swain
and Gretchen Schultz in “A”
girl’s singles. Boy’s entries for
the “A” division will be Rich-
Graham’s Ellen Swain and
Richard Cummins fought their
way to the semi-final round at
Hirschi in singles competition.
Graham also received top per-
formances from the doubles
team of Jerry Manning and Ted
Price, Gene Graham and sue
Burkett, Jan’a Hix and Gall
Shahan.
One of the competitors in the big high school track meet
held at Wichita. Falls last Saturday was Rider’s Bub Deerin-
water, who placed fourth in the shot put with a toss of 50-6
inches. Though the Raider star is a solid track performer,
he is more at home gaining yardage on the football turf. That
is a feat he will perform for the Texas Christian University
Horned Frogs for the next four years.
In fact, Deerinwater should be by far the biggest Frog in
TCU coach Abe Martin’s pond. The 195-pound athlete led the
Rider Raiders to a district championship with a 10-1 record
last year, and during his high school career he gained-over
3,000 yards. He was Texas’ top schoolboy football player in
1965, and was elected to the high school All-American team.
But despite Deerinwater's talent, it is doubtful that the
Frogs will have a great deal of success if be must carry the
full weight of Texas Christian’s attack. For the past couple
of seasons, a rule known to Rider’s gridiron foes, was: “When
Deerinwater stopped, Rider is stopped.
The Hirshi Huskies managed to stop the big back two years
ago, and'the result was a 19-0 defeat fot Rider. Lubbock Mon-
terrey- did it in bi-district this season, and the Raiders went
down by 28-8.
Deer in water is not a one man team, and like all great athletes,
he can be stopped if a determined opponent watches his every
move. If TCU comes up with another good running threat to
team up with the ex-Rider star, the Frogs will start going
places. Going across goal lines, for example.

SAN ANTONIO,--The cele-
brated “Rose Window” at San
Jose Mission State Park will
have an even more beautiful set-
ting now, thanks to the San An-
tionio Rose Society, reports
Pierson DeVries, park super-
intendent.
Four of the attractive “Rose
of Castile" roses have been
donated to the park by the
society. Two bushes have been
planted on either side of the
"Rose Window”.
They replace a climbing yel-
low rose which has been moved
to the rose garden.
"This transfer of roses has
helped balance and emphasize
the "Rose Window" composi-
tion", said DeVries.

Flounders are returning to
the bays and fishermen are
picking them up at scattered lo-
• cations.
Larval brown shrimp are
pouring through the passes, into
the bays where they will grow
very rapidly tor the next few
months. Their growth will aver-
age about one millimeter a day
until about June when they will
move back into the Gulf to com-
plete their cycle.
Biologists report unconfirm-
ed information that the first
whitewings are already in the
Valley. The entire breeding
population of Texas birds will
return later from their winter
homes in Southern Mexico and
Central America. A flurry of
home-site hunting and nest buil-
ding in the brush and citrus
groves'will then begin.

SAN ANGELO,—The three
inches of snow blanketing the
Black Gap Wildlife Management
Area in the Big Bend Country
for the first time since 1957,
benefited wildlife in general,
according to Tommy Halley,
Trans-Pecos wildlife biologist
for the Texas Parks and Wild-
life Department.
Scaled quail, mule deer, jave-
lina and desert bighorn sheep,
accustomed to dry winter
weather, took advantage of the
minute plants which began
emerging as a result of moist-
ure from the timely wet snow
cover.
Late February and early
March are traditionally the
most difficult months for wild-
life since food is usually in
short supply. Wet snow, follow-
ed by early warm spring sun-
shine there, spares game ani-
mals from suffering and de-
privation of late winter.

Rattle Snake Hunt
Flat Rock Community Cen-
ter members enjoyed a rattle

The longest rattler measur-
ed 45 inches with 14> rattlers
and the remainder were broken
off.
The group enjoyed a sack
lunch at the center. The hunt
got underway at 9 a,m, with
only 1 rattler found before noon.
Attending were Mrs. Bennie
Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. R.G.
Hutto and Fred and Carl, Mr.

The Brownwood Tournament
will be much tougher than the
Hirschi affair that Graham’s
squad visited last week. A total
of twenty-two teams will be at
Brownwood, with many class
AAAA schools included. Among
the entries are san Angelo,
Odessa, Waco and Abilene.
Coach Huggins feels that the
Graham netters will not be so
nervous after having seen action
in one tournament Last week’s
tourney was the first of the
year for the locals, while Hir-
schi High had already competed
in five.

How about that NCAA championship game that was televised
last Friday night ' The crowd cheered, the band played the
Texas tight song, and orange and white pennants waved, but
the team that was winning the contest didn't look much like
Texas University’s Longhorns.
Battling it out were Texas Western's once-beaten Miners
and Kentacky University's top ranked squad. Kentucky was
favored by five points, but Texas Western was just too good
on this particular night and the Miners pounded their way
to an easy 72-65 victory. nils was the first time a Texas team
had ever won in the NCAA, though Baylor was second in 1948.
and Texas finished third on two occasions.
Western used a man-to-man defense that allowed Bobby
Joe Hill to steal the ball from the surprised Wildcats, and
David Lattin, the only Texas western Star who played his
high school basketball in Texas, kept stuffing the basket to
total up points. The television announcer said that Kentucky
had been out-rebounded only twice this season, but Western
seemed to outplay the Wildcats badly In this department too,
despite the faet that they used some men who were well under
six feet
Perhaps this is the start of a trend. One of the years it
might be a Southwest Conference team, composed of basket-
ball players from Texas, winning the NCAA crown.
AUSTIN—The Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department an-
npunced apparent success of ex-
perimental walleye transplants
in the new Lake Meredith has
prompted 1966 spring plans tor
quadrupling the first consign-
ment of 500,000 fry released
there last year.
The Department decided to
concentrate at least temporari-
ly on the Panhandle Lake which
will receive an aerial shipment
of 2,000,000 fry from Iowa eith-
er in late April or early May if
present plans can be finalized.
A 2,150,000 fry consignment
last spring was divided among
Meredith, Possum Kingdom and
the new Canyon Lake just north
of San Antonio.
Only in Meredith, according
to the Department, has definite
evidence of the walleyes' thriv-
uig been found by biologists.
There specimens ranging up to
twelve inches in length were
caught in test seining. Actual
fishing tor walleyes in Lake
Meredith has been forbidden
until the experimental stocking
has had more time to develop.
Texas has maintained an ac-
tive “trading” agreement with
the Iowa Conservation Com-
mission and, as its part, has
provided the “Hawkeye" state
with wild turkey for stocking.
In acknowledging the Depart-
ment’s letter inquiring about a
1966 walleye fry allotment, K.
M. Madden, superintendent of
fisheries tor the Iowa conser-
vation Commission wrote: “We
are glad that the Commission
can keep alive the spirit of ex-
change and cooperation between
the two great states of Iowa
and Texas.”
The Department said present
plans are to expand the walleye
stocking experiments to other
suitable Texas waters just as
soon as Lake Meredith’s key
status in the experiment has
been established. Biologists
believe the new lake may be re-
ceiving some walleyes from the
Canadian river which connects
with the Conchos Reservoir in
New Mexico where the popular
game fish are thriving.
