People between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-one
were given the right to
vote when the State Legis-
lature approved the twenty-
sixty amendment to the U.
S. Consitiution during the
last session. Ratification
of the amendment gave
eighteen year olds the right
to vote in all elections in
1972. The newly enfran-
chised voters will be able
to register and vote where
they live , regardless of
whether they live with their
parents or in another city.
The Legislature attem-
pted to place a residency
requirement on the eight-
een, nineteen, and twenty
year old voters by requir-
ing them to register and
vote in their hometowns if
they were not married.
District Judge William
Wayne Justice in Sherman
recently struck down the
special residency require-
ment. State Attorney Gen-
eral, Crawford Martin
agreed that the pro-
vision was unconstitu-
tional.
Accoridng to the 1970
Census Fact Book publis-
hed by the North Central
Texas Council of Govern-
ments. there are 165 people

ment. The census report
did not include Northwood
students who live on cam-
pus in Cedar Hill. The
report also did not include
the 18-21 year olds who
have moved to Cedar Hill

voters total more than ten
percent of the number of
people who usually register
in cedar Hill. The effect

bably not be realized for
several more months.

cut the time to 23 seconds.

good about their efforts.

better than their male

The Cedar Hill Longhorns
lost to the Forney Jackrab-
bits Friday in their second
district game, played before
a home crowd at Longhorn
Field.
The Longhorns played an
exceptional game and picked
up 13 first downs to the
Jackrabbits 12 but just
couldn’t seem to get their
passes in the air fast enough
to get away from those
tricky rabbits.
The Longhorns gained 54
yards in the air to the Jack-
^ rabbits 254 and 104 yards
rushing to the Jackrabbits
111. The Longhorns inter -
cepted one Forney pass and
recovered two fumbles.
Cedar Hill had 2 penalties
called against them for a
loss of 10 yards while the
Jackrabbits lost 85 yards on
11 penalties.
Both teams were penaliz-
ed in the first quarter and
exchanged 5 yards but the
loss of yardage didn’t keep
Mike Adams of the Jack-
rabbits from pushing across
from the 4 yard line for the
first TD of the game. A
good Jackrabbit kick left the
halftime score 7 to 0.
After losing 20 yards in
penalties in the second quar-
ter the Jackrabbits picked up
long yardage and landed on
^IlS
the 3 yard line, then plung-
ed over the left side for
.heir second TD of the even-
ing. The kick failed leaving
the halftime sc^re. 13-0.
The Jack rabbin.: or ed a-
gain, early in the third quar-
ter on a pass play that ga-
thered them 52 yards. The
kick failed.
Gary Pace, quarterback-
ing for the Longhorns pull-
ed off a fake pass play twice
in a tight fourth down situa-
tion aiding Robert Switzer
in pushing across the Forney
• goal line from the 2 yard
line for the Longhorn’s only
TD of the game.
Randy Wilson’s kick at-
tempt failed.
In the fourth quarter the
Jackrabbits lost ground on
penalties in three consecu-
tive plays before they fin-
ally got rolling and picked
up two more touchdowns.
Jimmy Gatlin of the Long-
horns intercepted a Jack-
. rabbit pass in the end zone.
Final score of the game
was 34 to 6.
The Longhorns will have
a night off Friday night but
most be ready to face Jos-
hua November 5 at 8 p.m.
at Longhorn Field.
In other District 15 A
games, Crowley beat Kenne-
dale, 34-0; and Joshua lost
to Hillsboro, 20-6.

Jim Burcham of Irving and
Bob Essary of Duncanville
traveled to the wilds of
Wyoming to brine back 2
beautiful sets of elk antlers.
The antlers will be shared*
The four men did their
hunting in the Little Big
Horn Mountains of Wyom-
ing and were prevented
from hunting most of the
time because of a big snow
storm.
Due to the big snow, the
men came out with two
800 to 850 pound elk bet-
ween them and agreed to
share their trophies.
To bag the big bull elk,
Taylor used a 7 MM Rem-
ington Magnum and Coley
used a .270 Remington.
Both men had scopes.
The big elk_ both had
9 point antlers with a 39
1.2 inch span and were 9
