You're the number one seeded
player in the tournament.
Twelve thousand people have
packed the Forest Hills Tennjs
Stadium to watch you defend
your title.
But things go badly for you.
Your opponent, who wasn't given
a chance, is beating you.
The crowd cheers wildly for
every pint your opponent makes.
How do you feel? How do you
handle yourself when the chips
are really down?
This is the situation Roy
Emerson of Australia, the world's
number one amateur tennis
player, found himself in when he
faced Arthur Ashe of the United
States in the U. S Lawn Tennis
Championships at Forest Hills..,
But Emerson was never dis-
heartened He fought for every
point as if it were match point.
When the match was over, the
crowd gave Ashe a standing ova-
tion Roy Emerson, the world's
top amateur, was defeated. But
he gave the match all he had and
he lost like a champion—with
dignity.
After the cheering was over,
the crowd filed out of the huge
arena, past the ballot box where
the voting was taking place for
the Martini & Rossi Trophy for
Sportsmanship in Tennis They
stopped by the hundreds to cast
their votes—and they voted for
Roy Emerson.
When the votes were counted,
Roy Emerson had edged out
Arthur Ashe. Fred Stolle and
Chuck McKinley by a narrow
margin Even though he lost the
match, he emerged a winner. The
true mark of a champion.

Most football coaches would appreciate having a few of
Darrell Royal’s problems. Royal, Texas University’s head
coach, has announced that his Longhorns won’t be much of a
menace to anyone on the‘gridiron next fall, but during spring
practice his must serious difficulties have been in trying to
decide which potential All-American athlete will start at quart-
erback for the Orange when the 1966 season begins.
Gregg Lott, who will be a junior in '66, saw action last
season, but the prime candidate seems to be sophomore Bill
Bradley, an outstanding runner, outstanding passer, and out-
standing punter. ,
Bradley had a great high school career, leading Palestine
to the class AAA state championship in 1964. The Palestine-' ’
Hirschi contest in the state semi-finals that season is a good
example of the young Longhorn gridder's capabilities.
It was Saturday, December 12, 1964 when Wichita Falls
Hirschi and Palestine squared off in Arlington, with rights
to play in the AAA state championship game reserved for
the victor. Palestine had been the number one team in AAA
most of the season, therefore Hirschi, which had not been
expected to Contend in It’s district, was the underdog. The
Huskies, however, had been branded with the underdog tag in
all of their playoff games, so they grabbed Palestine’s Wild-
cats b; their ears and began to thrash the daylights out of
them. •
The third quarter was almost over and Wichita led 23-0
before the Bradley-guided Wildcats came to life. The remainder
of the game was Bradley, Bradley, Bradley. It was Bradley
throwing a forty-yard pass to put the ball on Hirschi's eight-
vard line. It was Bradley tossing a sixteen-y ard aerial, over-
coming a crucial penalty against the Wildcats, it was Bradley
running .'our yards for the touchdown, and it was Bradlev
passing for the conversion to make the score 23-8. A few
moments later it was Bradley tossing a 31-yard touchdown
pass and also accounting for the two-point conversion to make
the scoreboard read 23-16.
Dazzled as they were by this passing display, the Huskies
were suddenly caught off balance, and Palestine scored on a
65-Grd run. For once Bradley was stopped however, and the
two-ptht conversion try failed, leaving Hirschi on top by 23-22.
But Bradley had one more chance, and he made good use
of it. The AU-state field-general guided Palestine 55 for the
winning touchdown, the clinching score coming on a ten-yard
pass on the final play of the game. Final score: Palestine 28-
Hirschi 23. Next week, Palestine captured the class AAA
state crown by riddling San Marcos 24-15.
And now the Texas Longhorns have Bradley. Darrell Royal
has said that Texas has too many sophomores to be able to
contest for the Southwest Conference title next fall. But with
sophomore Bill Bradley around, they should at least make it
an interesting race.

, Men have trained blind min-
nows to associate food with the
sounds given, by a whistle and
tuning forks. The minnows in-
variably reacted to the feeding
signal by snapping vigorously.
It was proven that even a
soft sound 300 feet from the
aquarium could produce the
feeding reaction on the part of
the fish.
This should make the chap
who splashes his oars, or
shouts, start thinking. It was
shown that a fish could hear as
well as a man submerged in
another aquarium along side
the fish. Also, they trained fish
to distinguish one note for food,
the other not, no food. If the
fish made a mistake when the
no - food signal sounded they
were tapped on the snout with a
glass rod.
My cousin from Tort Worth,
Eigen Chansey was fishing on
a pier at Lake Graham and he
hooked a big bass which ran
out 200 ‘feet before he stopped.
Then the old bass swim back
to the pier, dashed around it,
hung the line on a nail, cutting
the line.
It the story ended there, one
would say that the old bass freed
itself by sheer chance. How-
ever, this is not true. Eigen
continued fishing and below he
could see the fish that had
broken loose as he had some of
the broken line in his mouth.
The old bass made a pass to
get the bait, and rim for the
pier, around the pier, hung it
on the nail and again he was
free! After a few times of
this Eigen decided to outsmart
the old bass.
BOAT LIGHTS
STRESSED AS
SAFETY 'MUST'
Every water craft used af-
ter dark is required to have at
least one light under the new
safety code now being ointly
enforced by the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department and
other agencies.
specific location of lights on
all motorboats is provided in
the act that is patterned after
the United States Coast Guard
Inland Rules.
The new state law does not
provide for lighting on rowboats
or rafts or other crafts not clas-
sified as motorboats. But Coast
Guard Inland Rules of the Road
as adopted for Texas stipulates
that all rowing boats, "whether
under oars or sail” and other
such water craft must have a
light.
It is specifically stated, ac-
cording to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, that occu-
pants of the non - motorized
craft "shall have ready at hand
a lantern showing a white light
which shall be temporarily ex-
hibited in sufficient time to pre-
vent a collision.
It is further,stated: "Rafts,
or other water craft not herein
provided for, navigating by hand
power, horsepower or by the
current of the river, shall car-
ry one or more good white
lights” visible up to two miles.

Last Monday evening the
Newcastle Community 4-H Club
met for its regular monthly
meeting at the Community Cen-
ter . They were joined by the
Graham High School 4-H Club.
There were a total of 60 people
present tor this meeting. The
Young County Game Warden,
Mr. Dalvd Hancock, and my-
self presented a program to this
group on Wildlife with special
emphasis on quail production.
Mr. Hancock told the 4-H‘ers
about how they could obtain cov-
ey’s of quail from the Parks
and Wildlife Service by follow-
ing a wildlife management pro-
gram. Several members of the
Newcastle 4-H Club were in-
terested in obtaining quail tor
their wildlife projects. At the
conclusion of the program each
of the clubs presented the As-
sistant Agent with a nice go-
ing away gift and refreshments
were served to the entire
group.
On Tuesday evening the As-
sistant Agent took Wayne Bul-
lock and Eddie Grant out to the
Humble warehouse where Zohn
Milam presented each of these
boys with a case of motor oil
for winning first place in their
respective division of the Young
County 4-H Tractor Contest
Mr. and Mrs. Zohn Milam have
been vary active supporters of
the Young County 4-H program
and on behalf of the 4-H clubs
I would like to express my ap-
preciation to them for their as-
sistance and support of our pro-
gram.
Also on Tuesday evening
members of the Farm and Home
4-H Club were present for a
meeting where Ben McGinnis,
agriculture representative of
Texas Electric gave a really
interesting program on electric
wiring, circuits and other farm
uses of electricity. The young-
sters saw a really good electric
demonstration which will help
them later on.
Tuesday was a very busy day
for in addition to the above
as the Assistant Agent accom-
panied 27 Newcastle 4-H club
members and their leaders on
a tour of the Texas Electric
Power Plant out at Lake Gra-
ham. The group was first shown
a set of slides which illus-
trated the operation of the plant
and they were then divided up
into three groups for a tour
of the plant conducted by the
TESCO men acting as guides.
This tour is very interesting
and I would like to recommend
it to any 4-H Club.
On Wednesday afternoon,
David Hancock and myself met
with the Newcastle 4-H Club
members and their leaders to
conduct quail survey checks
at the following places--Larry,
Jo Ann and Mike Williamson;
Wayne, Dale and Mike Bullock,
and Kent and Carla Graham.

selected for carrying out a
quail stocking program. The
amount of cover and the feed
supply available were checked
to see if the areas would sup-
port quail. Also Mr. Hancock
recommended certain im-
provements such as cutting of
brush and planting small grain
strips to the 4-H club mem-
bers which were to be com-
pleted before he would order
the quail. These improvements
were made over the Easter
holidays and Mr. Hancock will
order 5-6 coveys of quail for
this group to set out for a
wildlife project.
Any 4-H club interested in a
simialr wildlife project should
contact Mr. Hancock or my-
self for further information.

that the deadline for entry

Most famous member of the
Texas rattler family is the
Western Diamondback. This
snake has a large and heavy
body and will average be-
tween three and four feet in
length. A litter of young, born
alive, will average about 12,
but ones of 20 or more or not
uncommon.
Most notable characteristics
of this snake are the diamond-
shaped markings along the
bark and the distinctive black
and white rings on the tail,
above the rattles.
Its head is broad, flat and
triangular. Fangs are about
one-half inch long and are re-
curved, folding flat against
the roof of the mouth. This
snake can open its mouth
until both upper and lower
jaws are completely vertical.
Diamondbacks are respon-
sible for more deaths than
any other North American
snake because they are capa-
ble of manufacturing and In-
jecting more toxin.
A lethal dose of venom is
about one drop for each 50
pounds of body weight.
Their rattle comes from a
jointed string of segments
that are interlocked very
loosely. Each click of the vi-
brations is almost heard in-
"ividually when the tail vi-
brates slowly. But it becomes
almost an incessant hum when
the move m‘ .t is frenzied.
Do not depend on the sound
of the rattle to give warning.
Some rattlers have been
known to remain mute before
■triking; others might have
lost their rattles through
some mishap.
A rattler sheds his skin dur-
ing the active warm-weather
season. In winter it hiber-
nates in its den and does not
normally shed.
