Amos Fuddle
His Column
Even after winning four
straight, which included a vic-
tory over highly rated Lamesa,
there are still quite a few fans
who are yet undecided as to
just what kind of a team the
Yellow Jackets have, and if,
when the going gets rougher
—and it will—our boys will
have what it takes to score on
somfe of the district stalwarts.
Fuddle has had an oppor-
tunity to see every district
team in action, and is con-
vinced the Yellow Jackets can
do all right defensively against
any of them, but is of the be-
lief that if they are to win over
the top contenders they will
have to come up with a better,
smoother offense than they
have as yet displayed. Fuddle
is also convinced that the Jack-
ets will improve as they go
along, and what with a fair
passing offense, coupled with a
fair running attack, they will
upset more than one contender.
Basis for this expert opinion
is the fact that our boys have
REAL desire, and are not lack-
ing in guts. The Jacket line
is tough, and whoever defeats
them will certainly know they
have been in a ball game.
That’s about all Old Amos can
ask — or any true, loyal fan,
for that matter.
FUDDLE’S FEARLESS
FORECASTS
Kermit Over Littlefield, 20 to
6 — About even in manpower
and weight, Fuddle will string
along with the Jackets, and
predicts their offense will begin
to click.
Monahans Over Lamesa, 26
to 12 — Lamesa could surprise,
but I don’t think so in this one.
Playing in Monahans, and meet-
ing a steamed-up band of Lobos,
it looks like Lamesa will lose
another.
Ector Over San Angelo Lake-
view, 18 to 6 — This one could
go either way, but Ector needs
this one, and Fuddle believes
they will get it.

Game Magazine
Has Article
On Trophies
AUSTIN — Proper prepara-
tion of deer heads for mounting
is recommended in an article
in the October issue of Texas
Game and Fish magazine. It
was written by Bob Brewer of
Texarkana, who has published
a book on the subject of pre-
paring trophy heads for mount-
ing.
“Mounting a hunting or fish-
ing trophy is a job for the
skilled professional taxidermist,
but it is up to the sportsman
to get the trophy to the taxi-
dermist in proper condition.
“If you intend to have your
big game head mounted,”
warns Brewer, “under no cir-
cumstances should the animal’s
throat be cut. It is extremely
difficult if not impossible to re-
pair a throat cut so it cannot
be seen.
“If youre in a position to
freeze the head of your rophy
and keep it frozen or near fro-
zen until you get it to a taxi-
dermist, you need only skin
out the shoulder and neck and
cut the head off inside the skin
at the base of the skull. The
taxidermist can fisnish the job
of skinning.
“If the head cannot be kept
frozen, then it is necessary to
skiri c ut the head.” And in the
article he lists the steps for
skinning it.
Other articles in the issue
include one on the Canada
goose, hummingbirds, bam
owls, fire ant poisoning, the
Monahans State Park, and the
National Convention of Conser-
vation Education.

Big Quail Crop
May Result In
Earlier Season
AUSTIN — Many Texans may
have the opportunity of shooting
quail 30 days before the reg-
ular open season this year, ac-
cording to H. D. Dodgen, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Game
and Fish Commission.
He says he will recommend
to the Commission meeting in
Austin Oct. 23, that quail season
be opened in a number of coun-
ties under regulatory authority
effective Nov. 1, and extending
to Jan. 16. The season under
the general laws is Dec. 1 to
Jan. 16.
However, reports from over
the state indicate a tremendous
quail population in some areas
this year. Biologists on the
ground recognize that there will
be a heavy die-off because of
lack of food unless many of the
birds are harvested. In some
of these areas some of the birds
already are competing with ro-
dents for food. Many towns in
southwest Texas report that
quail are coming on to the
lawns in the city, looking for
grass seed.
Biologists attending public
hearings in regulatory areas
have all heard the report of the
excessive quail population in
many counties.
There was a heavy quail pop-
ulation in Texas last year, and
the die-off was unusually large
because of rodent competition.
From all indications, there is a
heavier crop of birds this year,
and it is the desire of the quail
authorities to permit the harv-
est of these birds wherever pos-
sible, according to the execu-
tive secretary.
USES RAILROAD CROSSING
SIGN TO DO ADVERTISING
PORTLAND, Ind. — Highway
officials at Portland were star-
tled to see that one. of their
railroad crossing signs had been
painted white and inscribed
with the name of a nearby res-
ident and an arrow pointing the
way to his house.
“This is carrying free enter-
prise too far,” said one of the
officials.
USE THE CLASSIFIED
Lamar Tech
Still Unbeaten
Lamar Tech is the only un-
defeated, untied team left in
teh Lone Star Conference after
a wave of upsets that tumbled
East Texas State, the defend-
ing champion rated the number
one small college in the NAIA,
and Southwest Texas from the
ranks.
The Beaumont school joins
The University of Texas and
North Texas State College as
the only remaining undefeated
college teams in the state.
East Texas State was tum-
bled, 7-9, by Texas A & I;
Sam Houston beat Howard
Payne 13-7; and Lamar Tech
edged Stephen F. Austin 7-6.
The complete season’s stand-
ings show Lamar Tech in the
driver’s seat with a 5-0 record
followed by A & I, 4-1; South-
west Texas, East Texas and
Sam Houston, all 3-1; Howard
Payne, 1-3; Stephen F. Austin
0-1-1; and Sul Ross State, 0-3.
Lamar Tech will likely make
it six straight Saturday night
when it hosts Sul Ross at
Greenie Stadium in Beaumont.
In other action, East Texas
will be favored over Sam Hous-
ton; Southwest Texas will get
the nod over Stephen F. Aus-
tin; Texas A & I will take on
non - conference Arlington
State; and Howard Payne will
battle Abilene Christian.
Red Raiders
Seek 1st Win
Over Bears
LUBBOCK — Texas Tech’s
Red Raiders seek the school’s
first victory in Waco over the
Baylor Bears Saturday night.
Texas Tech has won only
four out of 17 games played
with Baylor, and all of those
wins were accomplished in Lub-
bock. In fact, Tech hasn’t
beaten Baylor since 1946.
Six of the decisions were tak-
en by the Bears in Waco, the
last one by 27-0 in 1956.
Last season Baylor defeated
Tech 26-7.
Two similar offenses will be
exhibited, since John Bridgers’
Bears also utilize a wide open
attack.
Tech’s Red Raiders finally
saw their winning streak snap-
ped — at three — by Texas
Christian’s defending champion
Homed Frogs 14-8 before a
sell-out crowd of 23,000 Satur-
day night.
Ironically, the Raiders, who
had been outgained in three vic-
tories, amassed more first
downs and total yardage than
the heavier Frogs.
DeWitt Weaver’s Raiders will
not play again in Lubbock until
Nov. 14, when University of
Houston will be a homecoming
opponent. After the Baylor con
test Tech will play on the road
Southern Methodist, Tulane
and Arizona.

I960 Offers More Power,
Less Trouble In Outboards
NEW YORK — Look for in
creased power in the new out-
board motors for 1960, reports
the Ziff-Davis magazine, Pop-
ular Boating, in a special pre-
view of the 1960 outboard motor
market in the current (October)
issue of the magazine.
Although horsepower has been
advanced among the top five
outboard manufacturers, the
power plants have better fuel
economy. An emphasis on car-
buretion and metering devices
in the new motors will insure
maximum performance per gal-
lon, reports the magazine.
There are many other im-
provements which have been
added to the 1960 line. Boat-
men may expect:
1. A choice of several pro-
pellers with different pitches to
meet varying motoring require-
ments.
2. Larger motors, featuring
heavy-duty generators in 12-volt
capacities to meet the heavy
load demands of today’s elec-
tronically-equipped boats.
3. Underwater units which
have been streamlined to re-
duce drag and cavitation.
4. Single or double lever con-
trols will be available on most
models.
5. Fiberglass motor shrouds
to cut down maintenance and
muffle engine sounds, so motors
should be quieter than ever.
6. Cylinder and crankshaft
counter - balancing, combined
with the adoption of airplane-
type floating rubber-mounted
power heads which will insure
minimum vibrations.
7. Small diesels will be avail-
able for the first time in 1960.
The one-cylinder units will be
made of lightweight aluminum
alloy.
8. Manufacturers, concentrat-
ing on improved design, are
dropping the flamboyant colors
and rampant chrome of last
year’s models.
9. Remote steering is becom-
ing a “must” with high-horse-,
power outboards. The new,
large power plants are not de-
signed for steering from the
engine position. Too m
