THE HUMBLE ECHO
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1964
With
JOHN PUNDT
No Cause For It
Most other class AA teams across the state, along
with class A, B and a sprinkling of triple A out-
fits, start the football season off with bang Friday night.
But while Wildcat Stadium will be dark and the.
Wildcats won’t be in action Friday night, we here
in Humble get a jump on the grid campaign this week.
Because Wildcat Stadium won’t be dark Thursday
night. All the lights and doubtless most of the eyes
of an expected 1,200 to 1,500 spectators wilr be
trained on the playing field where the Wildcats
do battle with mighty Liberty, last years class.
AA semifinalist and a triple A congregation this
fall.
Then come Friday night ,with one “game” already
under our belts, those of us still hungry for more
football can choose from several good bouts in the
area.
And speaking of Hunger, There will be no cause
for it Thursday night. The Wildcat Club will have
a big spread of food—barbecue beef, potato salad,
beans, cold drinks— enough to serve all 1,500
(including an expected 400 from Liberty).
Proceeds from the barbecue go to the club’s athlethic
boosting projects.
Tip for the thrifty: you can save 25 cents a plate
by buying tickets before Thursday night. They’re
$1.50 at the gate, $1.25 in advance.
A Near Goose Egg
For football wanderers Friday night, a couple of
district teams will be playing within a half-hour
of Humble. Dayton is at Cleveland while C.E. King
hosts Pearland, the Wildcats scrimmage foe of last
week.
While we can still say we haven’t missed a pick
this year, here we go again:
Livingston 12, Anahuac 7- Pre-season ratings say
Livingston will yield its iron rule in district 22-AA
after two years of domination. And Anahuac is
supposed to be much improved over last year. Still,
we'll go with the Lions on a guess.
Cleveland 19, Dayton 6 - While the ‘ experts”
say Livingston will come down a bit this year,
they say Cleveland is the team to fill the spot at
the top in 22-AA. Dayton was a mighty slow starter
last year and likely won’t be a morning glory this
time out either.
East Chambers 20, Hamshire -Fannett 0 - Class
A East Chambers had pretty much its own way
with our district teams last fall and should have
a fair amount of success again this year, at least
in this one.
Pearland 14, C.E. King 12 - Both will be playing
their first games as double A teams and this one
should go down to the wire. As the Wildcats found
last week, Pearland is plenty big and should edge
by here.
Hardin-Jefferson 21, Hull-Daisetta 8-We’ve picked
four of the league’s teams to lose their openers,
but Sour Lake should keep the district form ending
up with a goose egg, even though the Rebels are
up against probably the best year-in and year-out
class A team in this part of the state.

Improvised Gun Cleaner
A first-rate gun cleaning rod
can be improvised from a piece
of flexible cable with pipe
cleaners wrapped around it. An
old speedometer cable will do.
Salt Box Bait Box
A one-pound salt box makes
a perfect container for carry-

Punch in a few breathing
holes, pull out the spout and
slip in the insects. When you
are ready to fish, open up the
spout and drop ’em out, one

To aid in scaling fish, use a
painter’s steel wire brush in-

fish are dried, the scales come
right off.

Dayton Trying To Map
Route To League Title
Editor’s note- Following
is the fifth and final in a
series of articles out
lining the prospects of dis-
trict 23-AA football teams
for the coming season.
While Humble and
Liberty handled the title
winning honors in district
23-AA for the last two
years, the Dayton Broncos
have been sitting just
outside the select circle
trying to figure a way to
crash the championship
party.
And while the broncos
have been strong con-
tenders for the league
crown until the last game
was played in both the past
two seasons, Humble has
had plenty to do with the
Dayton’s status of also-ran
rather than the owner of
all or part of the district’s
first place hardware.
In 1962, the Broncs held
a 7-0 lead over Humble
through most of the game
then saw the Wildcats score
14 points in the last four
minutes and that meant the

championship. Neither
team lost again the rest
of the regular season and
the Broncs finished a game
out of the throne room.
Then last year Dayton,
still without a loss in Dis-
trict play, was rocking
along with a 13-12 lead
when that pas s that bounced
off a player or two landed
in end Billy Trigg’s arms
with only seconds re-
maining and Humble won,
18-13.
So doubtless the Broncs
will look to the games with
Humble this year for a
measure of revenge and
perhaps for what they might
consider their share of the
late-game breaks.
At any rate, four linemen
that started last fall, plus
a fullback regular, will be
on hand at Dayton this fall
among seven letter men
from a team that posted
a 4-6 season record and a
3-2 district mark.
Both end starters are
back: junior Greg Williams,
170, and senior Pat Harris,
170. Dayton Head Coach
Wayne Hill, starting his
third year as Bronco head
man, considers Williams
one of the outstanding
players on the squad be-
cause of his “ability of
leadership.”

for hunting both deer and
ducks, you’ve got a problem.
Wear a red or yellow jacket
and you’ll spook ducks two
miles away. Wear an olive-
drab one and you’re apt to get
blasted by a cross-eyed deer
hunter.
Here’s the solution: Buy the
olive-drab jacket for duck
hunting, then when you go
after deer, mark the back and
sleeves with industrial adhe-
sive tape.
These stripes of bright yel-
low will distinguish you from
the deer.
