Me FALL ON FIELD NOW
It’s too early to tell how the
football team will be doing this
year, but if Coarh Warren Me
Fall keeps up his winning ways
with the Bulldogs you can
count on some scores coming
out in favor of the Bogata team
this year.
While Me Fall is tackeling his
first professional coaching job
at Bogata this year; he is com
ing in “loaded” with experience
on the playing field, and a dab
of coaching winning army teams
mixed in for balance.
The 26 year old coach started
his own play with the Glen
Rose team in *51, and was nam
ed All District halfback. In the
’52 season he played halfback
on the Breckenridge team; and
was named All District, All West
Texas, and All State. Brecken
ridge won the Class 3A State
Championship that year.
Me Fall entered Tarleton
State at Stevensville following
graduation, and participated in
football, track, and other sports
tnere for 3 semesters, complet
ing his junior college work at
Paris Junior College.
Doing a tour of' Army duty
in 1956 57, he saw action on an
Army interservice team which
won 2nd in the nation that sea
son, being runner up to the Ft
Sill, Oklahoma team which had
(at that time) a goodly portion
of the national champion Okla
homa University graduates on
their first string.
While in service Me Fall also
found time to coach his own
Company team, which won post
championship, and was division
runner up.
, Returning to civilian life, he
completed work for his bachelor
degree at East Texas State. Me
Fall will teach chemistry and
general science at Bogata in ad
ditlon to coaching.

TAGGED FISH
ARE LEGAL
AUSTIN Contrary to what
some fishermen believe, it is
legal to catch tagged fish. In
fact, according to Howard Lee,
director of coastal fisheries,
Texas Game and Fish Depart
ment, fish are tagged for the
purpose of being caught.
Several biologists at the Coas
tal Fisheries staff meeting re
cently held in Rockport reported
that many fishermen catching
tagged fish are not sending the
tags to the Rockport office.
Biologists claim that most
fishermen refuse to return
tugs because they believe catch
ing tagged fish is illegal. This,
of course, is not so. “Unless
the fish are caught,’ said Lee,
"the tags are of no value and
our expense and efforts are
wasted."
Most fish tags are made of
plastic. They are usually clip
ped on the edge of the gills or
fastened Into the fleshy part of
the backs. The marked shrimp
will have green and blue heads.
If one of these is among your
catch, simply turn it over to
your game warden or send it
to the Marine Laboratory in
Rockport.
