Lamesa Today
Resolution
Would Honor
Outdoorsmen
-. The Nation’s hunters and
fishermen would be honored
the fourth Saturday of each
September under terms of a
"Joint Resolution introduced in
the House today by
Congressman Bob Casey.
I Casey’s resolution requests
that the President declare that
day as ‘‘National Hunting and
Fishing Day.” A similar
measure is pending in the
JOnate.
‘These men and women —
those who enjoy the sports of
aifgling and hunting — have
done more for conservation of
opr natural resources than any
group,” Casey said. “They
were the first to realize that
fsitive action had to be taken
to protect our wildlife and our
environment, and they have
given freely of their time and
their Own money to see it was
done.”
Casey pointed out that in
Harris County and Houston,
sortie 108,000 persons annually
buy hunting and fishing
licenses.
“The tax money they pay
for guns, ammunition and
equipment is used to buy and
improve natural habitat for our
wildlife and for protecting and
conserving our environment,”
pointed out. It is clearly
evident from the abundance of
wildlife we have now that their
efforts and leadership in this
field have been an outstanding
success. I think it is clearly
time that Congress and the
President honor our hunters
rnd fishermen, who were our
first environmentalists,” he
said.

Mercury Outboards
Fly Line Problems Solved
If there has ever been a sub-
ject about which most fisher-
men are continually puzzled,
it is fly lines. It seems that no
matter what system is devised,
tying to determine which fly
lipe is right for any one rod is
difficult.
The problem is compounded
by the fact that as the amount
of line being cast increases,
the performance of the rod
usually decreases. What might
be the right weight line at 30
feet can be too heavy at 50
ffejfeF, resulting in poor casting.
There is a balance point,
say the fishing experts at
Mercury outboards, and find-
ing this helps solve the line
dilemma. Fly rods operate on
a “spring-like” power. This
power can be described as the
amount of force necessary to
bend the rod, and the amount
of force delivered as the rod
springs back. A fly line must
/eigh enough to bend the rod,
"setting the spring in action, so
the line can be rolled forward.
If the line doesn’t weigh
enough, it is impossible to use
the full power of the rod, and
casts fall short of their in-
tended mark. If the line is too
heavy, it drags the rod down,
^with a loss of power and a cast
lat heaps upon itself, again
falling short.
The average fisherman can
follow the rod maker’s recom-
mendations, since these are
designed to let the rod per-
forin satisfactorily under most
situations. But the really ded-
icated caster wants to match
rod and line to the length of
cast he needs most often.
The lads at Mercury sug-
gest you begin by purchasing
a tapered line in the weight
recommended by the rod mak-
er.: Work the line out to the
distance you feel is needed for
most of your fishing. If the
line is too heavy, replace it
with the next lighter weight.
Jf it is too light, trim a foot or
vo off the tapered end. As
you trim line, it’s weight—rela-
tive to its length—is increased.

Booster
Club Meets
Tuesday
A crowd of 117 was on
hand Tuesday in the High
School Cafeteria for the
organizational meeting of the
Booster Club.
George Reich, president,
welcomed the large crowd and
introduced Mrs. Marlin Dodds,
sponsor, who presented varsity
and junior varsity cheerleaders
and Little J.
Reich then turned the
introductions over to Greg
Sherwood, head coach of the
Jackets.
Sherwood introduced all
members of the coaching staff
and coaches were given the
honor of introducing their
wives.
Each varsity and junior
varisty coach presented
members of the 1971 football
squad and outlined the
positions they are working for.
$ j Sherwood thanked the
members and expressed the
• appreciation of the coaching
staff for the fine turnout. He
went on to point out the things
he believed the club should
work for.
Sale of the, Gold Fever
bumper stickers and West
Texas High School Football
books was discussed and
members were urged to pick up
these items and sell them.
Several fund raising campaigns
Were also discussed and
projects to aid in raising spirit
each week were turned over to
committees.
Refreshments were - served
to all those present.
The club will meet again in
regular session Tuesday, at 8
p.m. in the cafeteria.
GOLD CAR
Cassius Clay is having a car
specially made for him in Illi-
nois- The interior trim is being
made of 24-carat gold plate
with a telephone to match.
The 1971 Kermit Yellow
Jackets get a real taste of
outside competition today
(Thursday) when they host the
tough Lamesa Tornadoes at
Walton Field in a controlled
scrimmage.
The junior varsity, under
the direction of Coaches
Waymond Griggs and Curtis
Beasley, will open the action
with a scrimmage with the
Lamesa B team, beginning at
6:30 ,p.m. The varsity session
will start at 7:30.
Jacket head coach, Greg
Sherwood, said Tuesday that
the Jackets’ only two-year
letterman, Jody Phillips, broke
his foot in a motorcycle
accident and will be lost
indefinitely. Phillips is a
192-pound senior guard.
Sherwood was pleased with
the first week of drills. Cool
weather last week gave the
gridders a chance to get in a lot
of work without losing time
due to heat exhaustion, but
Sherwood said they were
slowed Monday when the
temperature climbed into the
90’s. He added that a lot of
work is needed before the
Jackets can be classified, as a
ball club.
Kermit will be running from
the Winged T on offense and
will use the odd man front and
even man front on defense.
The Tornadoes are strong
again this year after a fine
7-2-1 record in 1970. They
have several lettermen back
and the scrimmage today could
get very interesting.
Gary Shaver, 140-pound
junior, will get the starting nod
at quarterback, and will be
joined in the backfield by Gus
Kirby, 153-pound senior at
fullback; with Jerry Don
Adams, 138-pound junior at
one halfback and Mike Cubine,
186-pound senior at the other
halfback post.
Dan Dampeer, 216-pound
senior, will man one of the
offensive end slots and Pat
Stidham, 160-pound junior,
will be at the other end. Tom
Belding, 193-pound senior, will
open at one tackle position and
Ricky McGill, 167-pound
senior, will hold down the
opposite tackle spot. Ronnie
Geske, 187-pound senior, will
be at a guard post, with Steve
Jolley, 171-pound senior at the
other guard position. John
Waller, 224-pounder, a senior,
will man the pivot post.
On > defense, Sherwood
indicated that Belding and
Waller will be at ends; Bo
Smith, 186-pound senior, and
Ty Reich, 209-pound senior,
will open at tackles; McGill will
be the nose guard; Geske and
Darrell Preston, 167-pound
senior, at linebackers; Jolley
and Kirby at cornerbacks; and
Jim Bob Franks, 136-pound
senior, and Stidham at
halfback.
Sherwood, along with his
Staff of Mike Garrison, Larry
Anthony, Troy Anderson, Joe
Marlett, Griggs and Beasley,
will be looking at every boy on
the squad in the scrimmage,
with an eye toward an eventual
starting lineup for the season
opener at Hobbs, Sept. 10.

scholarship committee based
on need and scholastic
achievement from residents of
a fifteen county area of the
High Plains. Since 1956 forty
scholarships in engineering
have been awarded at Texas
Tech to students in this area.
Two additional scholarships
of $250 each are provided for
students at South Plains
College at Levelland. The
recipients arydetermined by
the officials of South Plains
College.
Prizes and contributors are

This year there will be two
“special” prizes. The Bowman
Motor Company of
Brownfield, is donating a 1971
Pontiac sport coupe for a
hole-in-one and Charlie Price
Real Estate of Brownfield is
donating a mini-bike for a
hole-in-one. This raises the
total value of prizes to
$17,500.

KIDS AND FISH — These channel cat met their match when they tangled with the three
young fishermen above. Showing off their catch of 10 fish caught at Balmorhea Lake this week,
are Cherri, Lisa and Jim Forga of Kermit. They used minnows for bait. Operators at the lake

plenty of good fishing.
