With Ya
AIN’T YOU SURPRISED — Maybe we're too tar into the
desert to see the dunes, but I gotta think that LeveUand is
the surprise team in AAA ball in the area and I'm hoping
that the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal feels the same way. In
today’s paper they picked Olton, with a 2-0 record, as the
surprise AA team. Ill be anxiously awaiting the A-J’s
Section C, pages 1-4 the rest of the week to see if they
mention Levelland’s unblemished football record.
A LITTLE DELAYED AIRPLAY - Well, the Lobos will
face Denver City at 10 p.m. C8T in Denver City. Aw, yeah,
that’s the correct time, for radio. It seems that district rules
around D.C. do not allow live broadcasts of feotbeH games.
It hurts' the attendance, or so THEY say. KLVT will be
forced to delay its broadcast until 10 p.m. However, they
will be taping the game starting with the 8 p.m. kickoff.
AS THE TEXANS GO ROLLING ALONG - Clint
Ramsey is not an agriculture professor at SPC. He just likes
to see his cross-country men rushing the wide open, plowed
fields, of the South Plains. Ramsey’s rabbit-quick runners
got in 13 miles of running yesterday in preparation for
Thursday's meet at WaylandBaptist in Plain view. A lot of
the running was done in a plowed field.
Ramsey said he tries to get the six-man team to run about
50-60 miles a week for right now. and 70 miles a week later
in the season.
“We had good time trials Saturday morning. Dickie
Patterson had a time of 5:12 per mile which was a :04
seconds improvement over one year ago. Frank Navarro
showed an improvement of :86 seconds over last year as he
was clocked in 5:16 per mile,” Ramsey said.

lately about how dull Roger Staubach is. So, okay, he won’t

Then, tradition-breaker which he’s not. he went and
served four years for his country, whilst the U.S. of A. was
in a most unpopular war. He came out alive and right away

took ’em to the Super Bowl.
He’s a winner in my book and he can keep being dull until
he runs out of room to put his championship rings.
LUBBOCK — September
25 has been set aside by
Governor Dolph Briscoe as
“Texas Hunting and Fishing
Day” in recognition of the
contributions state ottt-
doorsmen make to conser-
vation. 7 r
Governor’ Briscoe along
with the mayors of Amarillo
and Lubbock are among the
50 top state administrators,
500 mayors, 237 congress-
men supporting National
Hunting and Fishing Day,
which is celebrating its fifth
anniversary. The announced
theme for this years NHF
day is: “Making a Good
Thing Better.”
For nearly 40 years,
sportsmen have paid a spe-
cial 11 percent tax on their
sporting equipment, pro-
viding conservation across
the country with over 8600
million, and they increase
that total by nearly 850
million each year. During
the next year, Texas will re-
ceive 82.235.800 for fish and
wildlife restoration from this
source.

Rayfield Wright talking
about Rayfield Wright.
Whenever one talks with
Rayfield it becomes obvious
why he has become a peren-
nial All-Pro selection ever
since the 1969 Thanksgiving
confrontation with Deacon
Jones, a meeting which
earned Rayfield game
Through organizations
such as Ducks Unlimited,
bass, and gun clubs, at-
tention is directed toward
the inestimable value of na-
tural resources to mankind,
and the dangers of its abuse.
All citizens are urged to
join with anglers — hunting
— conservationists in re-
newing our appreciation for
and dedication to proper use
of natural resources now and
for future generations.
While frustration is the
word most often used by
defensive ends in describing
playing against Wright,
Rayfield prefers to use the
words “personal and team
pride.”
Ironically, it was Wright’s
pride which forced him to
the skfetines in Thousand
Oaks a year ago.
“I feR at the time and the
condition my leg was in
(Wright was recovering
from an off-season knee
operation) that training
camp would not be a plus for
me. I wanted to develop a
program which was com-
fortable with the work I
could do and bring the leg
along so that by the time
would bo able to play.
Wright’s conditioning
cost him the valuable work
at training camp and the
first two pre-season games.
But the results were excel-
lent. Rayfield came . in
against Minnesota in the
third pre-season game and
has not missed a game since
then.
Nevertheless, the indivi-
dual conditioning program
was not an easy one.
“It’s a tough decision be-
cause you miss so much
when you miss training
camp. Training camp is not
only a period when you get
your body into condition,
but you also get your execu-
tion down and your timing
on your Mocks and things of
that nature. Tm just really
happy my team understood
my situation.”
With all the training camp
problems behind him,
Wright finished the seson
once again as an All-Pro
selection.
Rayfield says last year
was a very special season, a
very emotional season for
the entire Dallas team.
“Last year’s team was a
very emotional team due to
the fact that we had a large
number of young guys.
These guys brought a lot of
enthusiasm to the team.
“Of course, the guys that
have been around awhile I
think always play with a lot
of intensity and have enthu-
siasm built in within them-
selves. But this is a profes-
sion and the veterans have
the enthusiasm but you just
don’t see it as much as you
saw it last year. , , .
“Last year’s team was a
very good football team, but
I feel we should be even
better this season.”
The problems are indeed
behind Rayfield and he
eagerly awaits the start of
thel976 season.
“This is my tenth yqar and
Fm anticipating a very good
year. Tm a little lighter than
Fve been in the past. I weigh
about 245 where in the past
Tve weighed about 260. I
wanted to get my weight
down because of the pro-
blems Tve had in the past
with my kneea. I really don’t
need to carry as much
weight as long as I can
maintain my strength. Thus
far I have been able to do
that. I haven’t been over-
powered yet, so I feel the
decision has been a good
one.”
COLLEGE STATION -
Some key figures are gone
but thoae who remain are
intent on keeing Texas ARM
No. 1 among acoHegiate
* football defensive units. One
' of thoae is Jimmy Dean, a
6-5,260-pound tackle who is
taking his senior season at
AftM very seriously.
“In the past there were
always seniors around aa
team leaders. Now I am a
senior and I realize it is my
responsibility to set the
example,” the three year
letterman says.
No one on« the ARM de-
fense could set a better ex-
ample. Dean is a key figure
in a defense that has at-
tracted national acclaim.
Last year he was honorable
mention all-America, placed
on four first and second-
team all-SWC lists. Dean
and Edgar Fields make up
— what could be the best
defensive tackle combina-
tion in the country.
“It’s always good to know
wham youi*L_ playing be-
side,” Dean points out. ‘Ed-
gar and I have played to-
gether for going on three
seasons and I think we
compliment each other real
well. He’s quick and scram
