JIM GREEN ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY
FOR STATE OFFICE
E
Pledging to work hard for the
many reforms needed to restore
public faith * in the Texas
Legislature. Jim Green, 31 year
old San Marcos businessman,
announced this week that he will be
a candidate in the May Democratic
rimary for State Representative
rom the new district composed of
Bandera, Blanco,
Kendall, and N W Bexi
Pointing out that
Schulle, Jr. of Kyle and John
Poerner of Hondo, the two in-
cumbents placed in the same
district by the State Redistricting
Board, have been consistent
supporters of indicted House
Speaker Gus Mutscher, Green
declared, “I will fight to restrict
the enormous powers of the House
speaker and change the House
rules so that individual
representatives can act in-
dependently and in the best in-
terests of their district without fear
of reprisal from a speaker who
misuses his powers the way
Mutscher has.”
Green added that “the two in-
cumbent representatives, ac-
cording to an Associated Press
story last week, are still riding
with the Mutscher team and I
believe that the people of this
district are fed up with favoritism,
cronyism, and scandal which
characterized the last session of
the Mutscher dominated
legislature. I will be an in-
dependent representative,'?' he
stated, "concerned with the people
of my district and their needs and
not those of power-hungry
politicians ”
A native of Texas City, Texas
who has lived in San Marcos since
enrolling at Southwest Texas State
“University 13 years ago, GYeen is a
former history instructor at
SWTU, Angelo State University,
and Schreiner Institute. He earned
both bachelors and masters
degrees from SWTU.

Inc., a large privately-owned book
store in San Marcos and is a co-
owner of the Pic-A-Taco
Restaurant, also in San Marcos.
He has been active in
Democratic Party affairs in Hays
County and served as
Headquarters Manager for the
Humphrey-Muskie campaign in
1968,
Stating that he plans to visit
every area of the new, widespread
district during the nextteix months.
Green said he wants » fblk to as
many people as possible during the
campaign. “The people of this
district know what the problems
are and many of them have good
ideas about possible solutions.
Their representative should listen
to them and not to the Austin
lobbyists and self-serving
politicians who discredited our
legislature last session.”
Green reiterated that he decided
to run because “I believe people
want an independent represen-
tative instead of someone who is
closely tied to the Mutscher
dominated legislature which
shocked the nation with the
Sharpstown stock scandals;
passed unconstitutional
legislation; and tried to punish,
through shameless gerryman-
dering, the independent
Democrats and Republicans who
challenged Mutscher and his
henchmen." _

Friday night the undefeated
Comfort Bobcats came to Bulldog
Stadium to play against the
Ban dera Bulldogs. It was the
Homecoming and final game of the
1971 football season for the
Bulldogs.
Game time started with the five
seniors—Charles Welch, Donnie
Morris, David Jureczki, Bobby
Clark and Jess Roach—acting as
captains for the game. At the toss
of the coin, Comfort received the
opening kick-off. In the first
quarter of play Comfort scored 7
points. Then in the second period
Comfort scored twice, leaving the
score 19-0. After being stunned, the
Bulldogs staged a furious rally.
Then they came back with a one-
yard plunge by Jess Roach, with
Bobby Clark kicking the con-
version point, leaving the score 19-
7 for the first half. >
The Bulldogs came out after
half-time with great determination
to upset the Bobcat’s winning
streak.
Billy Jennings opened the third
period scoring by blasting 83 yards
on a punt return, and again Bobby
Clark booted the extra point. Now
the score stood at 19-14, in Com-
fort's favor.
During the fourth period Ban-
dera forced Comfort to-punt from
inside their own end zone. By the
furious attack of the Bulldogs,
comfort was unable to punt and
decided to down tfie ball inside
their end zone, giving two more
points as a safety to Bandera,
setting the score at 19-16 in the
fourth quarter.
With 2:10 remaining in the game,
Comfort kicked a 24 yard field
goal. With less than two minutes
left in the season, the Bulldogs
drove to the Comfort 21 yard line
where they fought desperately
to punch the ball over, in hope of

winning the 1971 Homecoming
game.
Friday night, as the seconds of
the 1971 season ticked away, the
mighty Bulldog team fought
gallantly and with great pride to
the bitter end, leaving the heart-
breaking score: 22-16 in Comfort’s
favor
