Girls Run Well
... But Second
THE HOWE ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY APRIL 21, 1977 PAGE FIVE
The Howe girls’ track team
lost the district crown it has,
held since last year in last
Thursday’s District 14-A meet
at Pilot Point, but Coach Eddie
Brister said it wasn’t a case of
Howe girls not performing up
to par. “We just couldn’t
match Pottsboro’s speed in the
sprints,” he said. “That was
the difference.”
As it turned out the Howe
girls still turned lit' a top-
notch performance, amassing
117 points for a second place
finish to Pottsboro, which
scored 170.
But Pilot Point and Celina,
which have consistently out-
pointed Howe all season in
trackf meets around the area,
scored only 75 and 58 points
respectively as the Howe girls
put forth their best showing of
the season.
Two Howe participants, Sue
Knight and Delanna Adkins,
won the right to represent the
district in the regional meet at
Stephenville this weekend.
Sue won the 880-yard run with
a time of 2:32.1, while Delan-
na placed second in the high
jump with a 4’ 8” leap and
second in the 880 with a time
of 2:34.8.
Delanna was the top overall
individual performer with a
total of 22 points.
Other Howe girls who won
points in the district meet,
although failing to qualify for
Stephenville, were:
Third place finishes—Karen
Vincent, shot put, 30’ 8’’,
Paula Wheeler, long jump, 15’
4Vi”; Delanna Adkins, triple
jump, 30’ 4”; Darla Davis,
mile run, 7:04.0; 440 relay
team (Paula Wheeler, Sonja
Justice, Starla Monk, Debbie
Spegal), 53.4, their best
time of the year; mile relay
team (Cindy Boatman, Starla
Monk, Delanna Adkins, Sue
Knight), 4:29.7, also the best
of the year.
Fourth Place Finishes—Laura
Nolen, mile run; Debbie \
Spegal, long jump; Karen Vin-
cent, discus; Sonja Justice,
220-yard dash; Paula Wheeler,
triple jump; Cindy Boatman,
440-yard run; 880-yard relay
team (Paula Wheeler, Sonja
Justice, Delanna Adkins,
Debbie Spegal).
Fifth Place Finishes—Angie
Engle, 440-yard run; Martha
Jefferies, mile run; Alma Fin-
ney, triple jump; Denise Fran-
cis, 80-yard hurdles.
Sixth Place Finishes—Debbie
Spegal, 220-yard dash; Jackie
Troxtell, 880-yard run; Ellen
Smith, discus.
“The only event that we
didn’t -score in was the 100-
yard dash,” Brister'comment-
ed. “I’m very proud of the
effort the girls put out. We
just couldn’t run with Potts-
boro speed as the took the top
three places in the 440, 220
dashes.”
At one point in the meet
Howe, was only three points
behind Pottsboro, but fell
behind when the three short
dashes were run.
Brister said several of the
times posted by the girls were
the best of the year, and
several were also new school
records.
He released a current listing
of girls’ track records at the
school:
Shot put, K. Vincent, 32’ 4”,

It’s been estimated that
41 percent of visual impair-
ments due to injury occur in
the home. Do you know
what to do in case of acci-
dent? The National Society
for the Prevention of Blind-
ness has these suggestions.
Should a speck of dirt
jand in your eye, lift the
upper eyelid outward and
down over the lower lid. Let
tears wash out the dirt.
Never rub. If it doesn’t wash
out, bandage the eye lightly
and see a doctor.
Cuts and punctures of the
eye or eyelid should be
bandaged lightly. Do not
wash or try to remove an
object. See a doctor imme-
diately.
Alkalis, caustic acids or
^other strong irritants can
cause serious damage to the
eye. Open the lid and flood
the eye with water imme-
diately. Continue this gentle
rinsing for at -least 15 min-
utes. Then see a doctor.
You can get a, free sticker
for your medicine cabinet

Sue Knight, left, and Detana Adkins...Off to Regional Meet
43 Bulldog Trackmen Participate
In District 14-A Meet Today
EDITOR
To Jogging Jim,
The Editor:
While Little Laura and I were
doing our little old four-mile
workout to Luella, we stopped
by Sue Knight’s house. I
downed a glass of water and
right away I could sense Sue
had a problem. There was no
room in her 3x5-foot trophy
locker for a stack of ribbons
and medals she won this year.
I am sure Delanna Adkins
has the same problem.
I just want to say congrat-
ulations to two freshman track
stars as they advance on to
regional on Saturday and that
I don’t mind at all about
building more trophy cases.
From the record book that I
keep, rio Howe track girl ever
finished an 880 run faster than
Sue or jumped higher than
Delanna in school competition.
With all this ability wouldn’t
it be great if we had a track?
However, in a poverty-stricken
school district like Class A
Howe it is amazing how coach-
es can turn out stars of this
caliber on Class “C” run
ways. Maybe there is some-
thing I don’t understand about
physical fitness like running in
the mud and jumping water
puddles do to build up endur-
ance.
Of course, as long as we can
hire coaches that will take
them to other places that have
these tracks to train on, then
why shouldn’t we leave the
biggest bank accounts in the
country.
Sorry I won’t get to see you
gals in Stephenville, caule Lit-
tle Laura has asked me to run
the six-mile Bunny Hop at
White Rock Lake to celebrate
her 7th birthday. Luck.

WEATHER FORECASTS
by Mother Nature
Signs of Spring Rain:
When the leaves on the trees
turn their backs to the west, a
storm is just around the corner.
When the bees leave the flower
patch, the rain’s a-coming.
W’hen the birds stop singing
and shutters start swinging, a
storm is near.
When two flies bite, rain is in
'sight.
When the noon sky turns dark
and the wind ceases to whisper,
head for the cyclone cellar.
If a rooster crows at noon, rain
will come soon.
The Howe Bulldog boys’
track team'will culminate its
biggest year in terms of parti-
cipation and work today when
some 43 boys go to Pilot Point
to take part in the District
14-A meet.
For the first time this season,
coach Blackie Wade is enter-
ing youths in both the junior
varsity and varsity divisions.
Twenty-five youths, mostly
those who have not partlicipat-
ed in the full track program
but have taken part in the off
season football program—will
compete in the junior varsity
events. Eighteen who have
regularly competed in the var-
sity track schedule this spring,
will compete at the varsity
level.
Wade said that realistically
they cannot expect to do as
well overall in today’s varsity
meet as such district schools
with well-developed track pro-
grams as Pottsboro, Celina
and Sanger, but that the
spring of hard work by the
boys will definitely pay off in
some points at the meet and
he expects a respectable show-
ing.
“Our kids are all young, and
they have gained a lot of
know-how and experience this
year,” he said. “They have
set several new school records
and in the big meet's we have
attended we have in a lot of
events been only tenths of a
second off of the top finishes
in the running events and
inches shy in the field events.
There has been real, steady
improvement.
The most recent bright
spot in the team’s perform- 1
ance was time of 17.3 in the
120-yard high hurdles at Allen
last week by Jerry Taylor. It
barely failed to get him a spot
in the finals but is was a new
school record and represented
substantial progress in his
times since the season began.
“In fact,” Wade said, “all
our hurdlers—Tony and Tom-
my Wall and Mike Harper—
are doing well...and it looks
real good for next year.”
Sprinters Ken Helvey, a
sophomore, and Mark Harper,
a freshman, have turned in
10.6 and 10.7 times, respect-
ively, in the 100-yard dash.
Helvey’s 10.6 is only a tenth of
a second off the school record
held by Jackie Monk. Wade
said he unofficially timed Hel-
vey once at 10.5, and he feels
the sprinter will do it officially
at any time.
John Morris, who has set a
school record in the 880 this
year and has pipked up rib-
bons in several meets, is being
counted on to place well today.
The 440 relay team has been
beset b\ injuries to,- Kelly
Richardson and Daniry Ad-
kins, but Richardson is in
shape for the district meet.
The varsity boys and the
events in which they will com-
pete today at Pilot Point are:
