Two long runs by Pat
Niaves. a touchdown that
wasn’t really a touchdown
and a long punt by Bubba
Storey were about the only
highlights Cotulla had last
week in a 39-0 loss to the
Pleasanton Eagles
The two Niaves runs came
at the end of each half First
came a 37 yard dash and
then an 80 yard gallop to end
the game. The phantom
touchdown was just before
the half when Sotero
Marroquin bolted over from
two yards, but the play was
nullified by a penalty. Bubba
Storey ended the third period
by booming a 51 yard punt
that carried into the Eagle
end zone.
Pleasanton got their points
on a three yard run by Danny
Salinas, a 15 yard pass from
Salinas to Matty Rodriguez,
a 42 yard scamper by James
Anderson, a one yard burst
by Tommy Bauer, a five
yard scramble by Salinas
and three extra point kicks
by Salinas.
Cotulla now has a season
mark of 1-3 and their district
record if 0-1.

Fever Ticks
reported
near Laredo
AUSTIN - An outbreak of
fever ticks about 45 miles
northwest of Laredo is under
control, Dr. John W.
Holcombe, executive
director, Texas Animal
Health Commission, said
today.
“We are somewhat con-
cerned about the outbreak
since fever ticks are not in
that area. It should be a
warning to us that we need to
be on the lookout for fever
ticks,” Dr. Holcombe said.
The outbreak was
discovered during the later
part of August and two
premises were found to be
infested. One of the premises
involved 309 head. About 40
to 50 ticks were found on 70
percent of those animals. On
the other premise only two
ticks were found on 121 head.
An individual quarantine

The GED program in-
fluences the lives of in-
dividuals who have not
completed a formal high
school education and gives
those who receive a GED
certificate a chance to find
employment and to further
their training and education
if they should want to do so.
In the past two years,
many people in our area
have shown a commitment
to bettering themselves by
putting forth a lot of effort
and determination to
complete the requirements
for a GED certificate.
During the Spring of ’82
twenty-eight people received
their certificates, followed
by thirty-one recipients in
the Spring of '83.

GED candidates:
