The Spoiler
By CART SHERER
Like the commercial says, “I've been spoiled."
This was my reaction after playing a round of golf at the
Champions Golf Course Monday.
After being used to the regular “lay-of-the-land” golf
courses, It is remarkable to say the least, to play on a truly
manicured golf layout.
The event was a press preview put on by Shell Oil Co. to
promote its upcoming “Wonderful World of Golf’ series that
will start its eighth year on the tube Jan. 4.
After a “getting to know each other" period, a buffet
luncheon was served and then everyone retired to the men’s
locker room to see the preview film.
The 15 minute film covered excerpts from the matches that
will be shown each week starting In January.
The matches will be played in places like Singapore,
Bangkok, Thailand, Scotland, Ontario, Canada, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico and the U. S.
It was an impressive promotion technique and our
candidate for Mr. Congeniality, Jimmy Demaret was narrator
of the film session. Another golf personality who participated
was woman professional Carol Mann.
Miss Mann, who is M if she’s an Inch, is quite an
ambasaadoress for the game of golf and her swapping of
stories with Demaret made you get the feeling that one can
have a lot of fun on the pro goif tour. That is, when you are
not getting ulcers competing in golf tournaments every week.
But to get back to that golf course.
As an added treat, members of the press were allowed a
gratis round of golf on the Cypress Creek course. The course
is the site for the 19(9 U. S. Open.
The fairways were like carpets and some of the rough was
like fairways on the golf courses we’ve been used to playing.
The greens are huge and It was evident to our caddy that
we weren’t used to such wide open spaces when we reached
for the putter.
On one hole, the ball lay some distance from the pin. We
strutted toward the ball in a determined fashion ready to chip
the ball onto the green close enough for a short follow up
putt.
Nine-iron in hand, we approached the ball to prepare for
the chip shot. All of a sudden, the caddy started to clear his
throat.
We thought this was rather bad goif manners and we
prepared our best admonishing look and turned to see the
caddy standing there with the putter in his hand saying that
we were some 10 feet onto the green already. We three-putted!
If the golf course wasn’t enough, golf pro Doug Sanders’
outfit certainly was. It was PINK! From head-to-toe, the
Georgia clouter was clad in pink togs. Shoes, slacks, shirt,
sweater, golf glove - all pink.
Since it was cold, Sanders was forced to wear a
windbreaker. Whoever gave it to him had obvious bad taste or
was color-blind - it was dark blue!
Sanders’ playing partner was t* Open Champion Lee
Trevino.
Sanders snd Trevino didn’t participate in the Shell
ceremonies but rather were just In town playing a practice
round
The “Rags-to-Rkhes” Trevino looked as if he were back In
his caddying days with an old worn sweater snd slacks and a
well-used golf hat. He hasn’t lost his taste for the food of the
old days either. When die pair took a break after their first
nine holes, Trevino ordered "two tacos" from the snack bar.
It was a great experience, and boy! * have we been

REL Home; Rangers A way
By GARY SHERER
Ross Sterling is away and
Robert E. Lee is home Tuesday
night as the two Baytown high
school basketball teams begin
their fifth week of the still-
young 1968-69 cage season.
The Rangers will visit the top
team in the slate, Spring
Branch Memorial, and the Gan
ders will host North Shore's
improved quintet.
Memorial just won its 27th
straight game recently and the
Rangers have their work cut
out for them.
“I guess we just live right,’’
Coach Woody Walker replied
when queried about the game
with Memorial. The Mustangs
are always tough in basketball
and since they haven't lost a
game since early last season, it
looks as if the status quo re-
mains.
Walker has been pleased with
his team of late as it is now one
game below .500 at 5-6. He
has no qualms about the play
of his scoring star Johnny Cole
man, but Coleman has been
getting good support lately from
Willie Nichols. James Brous
sard and Rex Fisher.
It is this latter trio that has
come through to give adequate
help to Coleman and floor lead
er Floyd Clruti. Coleman and
Ciruti are the most experienced
cagers but two can’t carry all
the load. Broussard, Nichols
and Fisher have been steadily
improving to give brightness
to the Rangers' fiiture picture.
Over across town at REL,
Coach Jay Bollinger has had a
team that has blown hot-and
cold this season.
One of their recent cold nigits
was against the team they host
Tuesday night. In a trip to
North Shore last, week, the Gan-
ders shot miserably and drop-
ped a 57-50 derision to the NS
Mustangs.
The only consistent ball play,
er that Bollinger has had this
season is Thomas McClendon.
Rebels On The Road This Week
The Lee College Rebels are Texas doesn't have a gym of Its
looking to shake the doldrums
of the last seconds loss to Bee
County last weekend and are
preparing for two tough road
games this week.
Wednesday night, the Rebels
will meet South Texas JC at
the Houston St. Thomas gym.
The game was originally sched-
uled for Tuesday but since South
RICKY BEAL
own the game had to be resched
uled because of a game conflict.
Saturday night, the Red and
Grey cagers will be at Lufkin
to meet Angelina College. The
Rebels lopped Angelina, 78-67, in
November at Baytown so the
home team will be looking for
revenge.
The 58-55 loss to Bee County
makes the Rebels’ South Zone
TJCAC record 3-2 on the season
and they are 8-7 overall.
Saturday night s setback was
one of those games that come
along and there is nothing much
you can do about it.
The Rebels took an early lead
but then started throwing the
ball away and the visitors from
Beeville capitalized on most
every mistake. Bee County ad-
justed well also, to things that
LC was doing.
For instance, 6-7 Rebel Post
Man Sam Ballard was having
a field day taking high passes
and depositing them in the
basket in the early going. Bee
County adjusted and started
sa&ttag on Baiiard and cut
this maneuver off.
Ricky Beal, while also causing
some turnovers, still seemed to
be the player that brought the
Rebels back when they needed
it. Beal finished with just 10
points, but they were points
that came when Bee County
had started to make their at-
tack jell but Beal prevented
any further advance.
These two road games start
long road schedule for the
Rebels.
In fact, Saturday night's
game was the last game for
the Rebels on their home court
this year.
They won't be at home again
until Jan. 16 for a match with
Schreiner Institute of Kerrvtile
In between, will come Christmas
Holidays and the San Jacinto
JC Tournament Jan. 9-11.

The rumors that Vince Lombardi will move into the
Philadelphia Eagles situation next year, with a set of back-
ers, are nothing new But more specific than rumor is the
fact that during a visit to New York, Lombardi was seen in
conference with banking interests. And the Philly takeover
seems almost a cinch. ...
Another change in the cards will find Clive Rush taking
over for Weeb Ewbank as head coach of the New York Jets
after this season, a la Lombardi-Phil Bengtson. Because
Clive would already have the job if the Jets had won the
Eastern Division title in the AFL last year. . . . Weeb
doesn’t mind being booted upstairs if he goes out a
winner.
Bill Nelsen first heard he
was going to take over,as
the regular quarterback of
the suddenly hot Cleveland
Browns the Tuesday before
their Pittsburgh game in
early October. -“So,” says
Bill, “I went out and shot
the best round of goif in my
life that afternoon. I was
two under at (he turn until
it sank in and I wound up
with a 75." . . . He also
wound up as comeback rival
of the year to Earl Morrall.
When he was with the
Steelers, Nelsen never did
get through to Coach Bill
Austin. Austin, taking over
the Steelers in 1966, com-
plained to Blanton Collier
of the Browns, “1 got a
BUI Nelsen pretty good club—but I
need a quarterback.’’ . . .
"But you've got a quarterback,” insisted Collier “~in that
Nelsen kid.’’ . . , and now a couple of years later has
proved Bill’s big league qualities. . . .
A current player from Neisen’s alum, flanker Bobby
Chandler of the unbeaten USC Trojans, got to the gridiron
in a strange way. As a high school kid. he was noted for
his decathlon prowess in track, ranking 10th In the world.
But Johnny McKay saw him playing basketbaU and de-
cided right then he’d offer him a football scholarship.. ..
That other USC landmark, Orenthal Jay Simpson, has a
secret yearning. He wants to hurry up and get to be 30
years old. "By that time," reveals O.J., “I will have
proven myself. Every time I go out now, people burden
me by expecting me to score at least a couple of touch-
downs and gain at least 150 yards.” ....
Gene Hiekerson, the veteran all-pro guard of the Browns,
is also a successful manufacturer's representative in the
midwest. Rut a fabulous auto racing plant in the works for
southern California is trying to lure him west In a man-
agement capacity ....
The man who benefits most from Hickerson’s blocks,
Leroy Kelly (and does a little mine-sweeping on his own),
gets Gene’s endorsement as ‘the fastest back I’ve ever
seen-he hits a hole quicker than Jimmy Brown did.” . . .
and Jim Houston, the veteran linebacker (ninth year) tags
on an extra endorsement: "Leroy is a better running back
right now than Brown was. For one thing, he does more
for the team.” ...
Cleveland, coming strong now as an NFL power, is ex-
pected to activate injured old pros Gary Collins and Bill
Glass for the play-off and title fracases coming up ....
Years ago, when Paul Brown inaugurated the Cleveland
pro football franchise, he ran an enlightened shop in which
the players were completely free on Monday and Tuesday
of each week, then settled down for the next

There is a dissenter in the
house. Someone has been lured
away from the UCLA jugger-
naut to the Tar Heels of North
Carolina.
The Ucians remained No. 1 in
The Associated Press poll of the
top 20 collegiate basketball
teams Monday, but they were
not a unanimous choice. UCLA
polled 29 first place ballots of
the 30 cast, with the other one
going to second-ranked North
Carolina.
UCLA accumulated 598 points
on the basis of 20 points for a
first place vote, 18 for second,
16 for third, etc. North Carolina
had 542 points for a healthy hold
on the No. 2 spot over Davidson,
which had 427.
The first eight places in the
rankings were unchanged, with
Kentucky in fourth place, New
Mexico No. 5, Cincinnati sixth,
Notre Dame seventh and Villan-
ova No. 8.
St. Bonaventure moved up to
ninth place and Santa Clara
soared from 16th into the top 10
on the basis of victories last
week over highly-regarded
Houston and San Francisco. The
Broncos are 5-0.
The loss to Santa Clare
dropped Houston from 12th to
20th in the rankings, but the
Cougars were more fortunate
than Duke and Iowa. Duke,
ninth a week ago, lost three
straight and dropped clear out
of sight. Iowa, ranked 19th last
week, slipped out of the top 20
when it lost to Wichita State..
Replacing Duke and Iowa in
the rankings were New Mexico
State and Louisville, both 5-0.
State took 14th place and Louis-
ville 19th.
Kansas headed the second 10
with 130 points for llth place.
Purdue was No. 12 and Detroit
13th in front of New Mexico
State. In 15th position was Cali-
fornia, up three spots from last
week; LaSalle was 16th, a four-
place climb; Ohio State was
17th and Western Kentucky 18th
in from of Louisville and Hous-
ton.

able of doing. Le Blue, jus' a
sophomore, is progressing slowly
and is hindered at times by in-

Out /rant, the two Joes, Park
er and Wells, have also been
inconsistent.
Parker, the lone senior on
the team, is in his first year of
varsity basketball. He came to
Baytown with his family from
California and didn't participate
in basketball out there. He how
ever has made great strides
since suiting to play basket-
ball.
Parker is more or less the floor
general but doesn’t shoot very
much and consequently doesn’t
score many points.
Weils has the potential to be
a big scorer but as yet hasn't
found that big scoring night.
Just a junior, Writs may well
develop into a solid scorer be-
fore the season is over.
