Mathis was not to be denied
as they came back and scord
their first T.D., driving 54 yards
in 6 plays with Carlson diving
over from the Pups one yard
line to narrow the score to 12 to
6 at the half time.
The Bucs came back strong in
the second half as they forced
Taft to punt and drove to the
Taft 4 yard line before a first
down penalty and a fumble cut
short the drive and gave the
Pups the ball on their own 9
yard line. The rest of the third
quarter saw both teams making
drives up and down the field but
with no scoring done. Then an-
other fumble at the Taft 25 yard
line cut short another Mathis
drive and the Pups broke loose
another lightning bolt as their
•quarterback scampered around
end on a 41 keeper and the
Pups padded their lead to 20 to
6 early in the fourth quarter.
The Bucs received the kickoff
and Flores broke loose on a fine
44 yard return and Mathis scor-
ed 7 plays later as Alaniz drove
from the 1 yard line to end the
scoring for the night. Final score
was Taft 20 Mathis 12.
The Mathis eight graders,
meanwhile were eding past the
Taft eight graders by a score of
14 to 6. Taft scored in the first
quarter after Mathis got off a
short punt. The rest of the first
half was defensive stand-off with
neither side scoring.
In the second half the Mathis
Bucs found the going sticky un-
til Domingo Benavides inter-
cepted a Taft pass and returned
it for a T.D. in the third quar-
ter. The extra point failed and
; the score stood 6-6.
In the fourth quarter Benavi-
des broke loose behind some fine
blocking and raced 60 yards for
the winning T.D.
The defensive standouts, who
allowed only three Taft first
downs, were; Oscar Delgado,
Rudy Ruiz, Victor Munoz, Leo-
nard Garcia and Keith Laeche-
lin.

Two Mathis seventh grade
teams and the eight grade Bucs
wrangled victories in area con-
tests last Thurdsay night as the
junior varsity was being dropp-
ed in a dost game by Taft
Pups 20 to 12.
Before a small crowd which
braved the cold and drizzle to
watch the football game the se-
venth grade ‘B’ team scored on
the second half kickoff to break
a scoreless tie and went on to
play good defensive ball in the
secondhalf to down the Calallen
seventh grade “B” team 8 to 0.
The Calallen 7th “B” team
could only gain 8 yards in total
rushing against the Mathis de-
fense while the little Bucs
racked up 89 yards, on offense.
The 7th “B” team threatened
late in the game as they drove
48 yards to the Calallen 13 yard
line before a lost fumble stopp-
ed the drive. Mathis immediate-
ly intercepted a Calallen pass at
the 22 yard line but time ran
out on them on the 14 yard line
of Calallen.
The Seventh grade regulars
also defeated the Calallen seven-
th grade regulars as they roll-
ed up 236 yards of total offense.
At least 44 yards of this total
was gained through the airways
as Hal Winsauer completed 3
passes in 4 attempts.
The regulars scored twice, on
ce on a 79 yard drive which be-
gan on their own 21 yard line
and ended on a 8 yard run. The
score was made by Benavides
after he set up the Bucs on the
10 yard line of Calallen with a
45 yard’ ramble on a pitch
around left end.
Mathis scored again on a 36
yard scamper by Benavides af-
ter Mathis had recovered a Cal-
allen fumble on their own 36
yard line early in the second
half.
Calallen could never get any
sustained drives going as they
could only gain 82 yards in total
offense while they lost the ball 3
■ times on fumbles. The Mathis
seventh grade regulars also hog-
■ ged the statistics as they racked
- up 13 first
Calallen.
I TA -4-
Despite
weighed m
grade never left the game in
1 doubt as they easily controlled
the Calallen backs with good
tackling and pursuit.
In the finale the Mathis Ju-
nior Varisty couldn’t find the
handle on Taft’s speedy back-
field as they went down 20 to 12
in a hard fought game that saw
a lot of offense from both squads
Taft ground out 276 yards of
offense while the Bucs were
running up 225 yards. In first
downs the Bucs racked up 15 to
only 9 for the Pups. The dif-
ference in the game were the
five Mathis fumbles which were
fallen on by Taft to cut short
Mathis drives and three long
runs by the speedy Taft back-
field of 76, 33 and 41 yards.
After forcing Taft to punt
twic eearly in the 1st quarter,
the Bucs let the Taft lightening
strike as the Pups broke their
halfback loose on a 79 yard
scamper for the first score of the
game. Early in the second quar-
ter the Pups again took advan-
tage of Mathis as they fell on a
ball at the Bucs 35 yard line and
quickly scored on the second
play from scrimmage to go
ahead in the game 12 to 0.

Mrs. Helen Gillespie, Elemen- -
tary counselor and Mrs. Vai
Cagle Junior High and High
School counslor, report that the
fall achievement testing pro-
grams has been compleled in lo-
cal schools. These tests are giv-
en twice a year.
The purpose is to aid in mea-
suring the educational develop-
ment of these students. The
question of what level of perfor-
mance can reasonably be expect-
ed should be examined at class
and school levels as well. For
example, the teacher of a reme-
dical class should not be surpris-
ed or disappointed because the
average of her class is very low
in relation to national
norms, the important question
is, are the students achieveing
up to their capacity. Difference
of curriculum, background of
students, environments, etc., are
all factors that help to deter-
mise the capability of the stu-
dent, as well as educational or
mental ability.
The pre-tests are given in the
fall and the post-tests near the
end of the school year in late
spring. This not only shows in-
dividual progress but group and
grade level progress as well. It
also shows weaknesses or streng-
this in individuals or groups and
is of great value in helping the
teacher to pinpoint specific
needs among students.
Youngsters are urged to “do
their very best,’’ on these tests
as records of the scores are kept
so that the student may be help-
ed when and where needed.
The testing program is requir-
ed for the Title I program as
well as being used for diagnostic
purposes. “Many other means
of evaluation are also used in
the local school system in order

Sandia Farmers
Begin Harvest of
Peanuts Friday
The yearly peanut harvest fin-
ally got under way in Sandia
Friday of last week. An attempt
was made Monday to begin
plowing up the legumes, which
is the first step of the harvest-
ing process, but light rain caus-
ed farmers to cease operations
until the skies cleared.
According to Jim West, the
yield for this years’ harvest is
expected to be about average,
despite dry weather, followed by
unusually heavy rains during
the growing season.
Peanuts are plowed out of the
ground, swept into what farmers
call wind-rows, by a special ma-
chine. The peanuts are then
threshed a week or so later by
combine. Rain would damage
the hay, which is considered a
valuable part of the crop, since
it is considered to be good hay.
About 300 acres of peanuts are
planted in the Sandia area each
year, with Jim West, George
Morris and Alvis Machen being
the principal growers. For a
time during the heavy rains,
Machen’s crop was under water
for several days, but it is
thought
light.
