The ‘Red Devils’ already
have two double qualifiers tor
the TAC Age Group National
Track Meet which will be held in
Spokane, Washington in July.
Stacy Stuart qualified for
the Nationals in both the Tria-
thalon (three events) and in the
high jump with a leap of 3'10"
Stuart competes in the 9-10 year
old age group
Tina Wilkinson is the Red
Devils’ other double qualifier for
the Nationals with her qualifica-
tion in the Pentathalon (five
events) earlier in the season and
her 30’10 25” triple jump qualifi-
cation last week at Butler Sta-
dium
Of his tqam’s job this sum-
mer,, Coach Frank Butler
remarked, "This is the first
season we have had two indivi-
duals qualify for the Nationals
int wo different events."
"Last year we had two Na
tional qualifiers, however, those
were single-event qualifiers
(Brandy Stubblefield and Cherly
Glaser).
"I’m. very happy for both
Tina and Stacy. They have earn
ed the rigth to go to the Nationals
with their hard work this
season.”
With several qualifying
meets still on the schedule, the
Red Devils’ of Splendora may
be sending more than two repre-
sentatives to Spokane in July.
feathers or a wooden plug
called Bass Oreno. The only
colors for these wooden plugs
was white body and red head
or black body and red head
Most of the fishing was
done in natural lakes as these
were only a few man made
lakes at that time. Natural
lakes usually have willow
trees growing along the banks
and edges. These willows usu-
ally have the limbs nearly
touching the water and bass
have a. good place to feed as
minnows like to stay up under
these willow limbs.
There was no way for the
casters to reach the best bass
water so us hijackers would
take most of the large fish.
When the moon was dark
we could reach up under those
willow limbs and work those
lures and WHAM a large bass
was on, then it took a lot of skill
to land those large fish with
such a short line As a result
not everyone used that method
and it soon passed out of use. It
looks like flipping is a refine-
ment of that old hi-jacking
method.
The reason I said that we
used it mostly during the dark
of the moon was that the fish
were more nervous and easy to
spook during the light of the
moon (bright moon) and hi-
jacking created quite a lot of
noise and surface splashing.
( LEVELAND 4, HUNTS-
VILLE 0 (Exhibition game)
Hoping to avoid a stale
outing in their next regular
ETDL outing Saturday eve-
ning, the Indians and the Shep-
herd Pirates combined teams
of 15- and 16-year olds in an
exhibition contest against the
Huntsville Hornets Wednesday
evening.
The experiment proved
successful', as the Cleveland-
Shepherd club combined to
stop the Hornets 4-0 behind the
three-hit pitching of Shep-
herd's Bobby Rowe
The Indians-Pirates col-
lected seven hits and four runs
in the shutout exercise and
their showing prompted Indian
Coach Hal McClelland to re-
mark, "I thought the young-
sters did really well consider-
ing they had not played togeth-
er before.”

rates go back to regular action

KINGWOOD 3. ( LEVE
LAND 2
The Cleveland Indians of
the East Texas Dixie League
dropped their season record to
12 Tuesday evening at Indian
Field as they fell victim to
Kingwood 3-2.
The Indians broke out on
top in the game's first inning
as Phillip Baird opened with a
single and was driven home by
Indian Pitcher Kerry Wyatt’s
two-base hit
The Indians maintained
the lead until the bottom of the
fourth inning when Kingwood
put a single, walk and a triple .
together for a 2-1 lead
The Indians came right
back to tie the game in the top
of the fifth as Rusty Eaton
slapped a triple to left field,
then scored on Barry May’s
single up the middle
The contest remained
tied untlil the top of’the final
inning when Kingwood com
bined a Bobby Harper single
and a sacrifice fly with a Lrry
Whitehead single for the winn-
ing run.
Indians' Coach Hal Mc-
• Clelland was disappointed
with the loss, though he con-
sidered the contest a "good
close game and not a bad
showing for the Indians con-
sidering we have had eight
days off since our last game.”

When bass men gather
you are beginning to hear a
word more often each day
That word is "Flipping.”
Sometimes when some one
says that this method is some
thing new, an old timer will
interrupt with the statement
that this method has been
arqund before there were rods
and reels as we know them
now.
When I was a small Boy
there was a method that was
somewhat similar to flipping
We used a cane pole and line
about the same length as the
pole and presented the lures
with the same motion as the and arrow method I haven ;
