Quarterbackers Select
!
Porter; Coach Gaudy
Appraises
The Mathis Pirate Quarter-
back club met Monday night
and elected Tom Porter for the
honor of “Sideline Coach’ of
the week.
Cmallen
split into two groups for two
games which will begin at 5:00
p.m. The eighth grade game
will follow. The junior varsity
engages the Calallen Jr. Var-
Before viewing the film of the
Woodsboro game, President To-
bin led a discusson of the club
oh ideas for raising money to
pay the club’s bills for the year.
In reviewing the game with
Woodsboro, Gandy stated that
the boys looked good and cap-
tialized on their breaks in stag-
ing the come-from-behind win
/over a fine Eagle team.
Gandy went on to state that
the attitude of the team was
high and encouraging. He said
he felt that Calallen would be at
a disadvantage after the loss to
Rockport last week while the Pi-
rates should be in top form. He
did emphasize however that Cal-
allen has the potential to match
any team the Pirates have play-
ed this year. The outstanding
runner which the Pirates will
have to contain if they are to
record a 5-5 record this season
Will be the Calallen halfback
Bode. Bode is a 21)0 pound power
runner who is fast and success-
* fully complements- Calallen’s
fine passing game.
Those who attend the game
can count os seeing a lot of fire-
works from Calallen, particular-
ly if they ever get behind in
the scoring. While they normal-
ly run a “Wishbone T” forma-
tion they will go to a spread
formation with a wide open pas-
sing attack should they be pres-
sed.
The Pirates, who will probably
do without the services of tight
end, Allen and tackle, Martin-
ez, have been working this week
primarily on defense recogni-
< tion drills.
Allen, who missed last week’s
game with Woodsboro is still suf-
fering with a painful hip pointer
sustained in the Taft game two
weeks ago. Martinez was injured
in the Woodsboro game last
week and has been sidelined dur-
ing this week’s paractices.
In other school games this
week the seventh and eighth
sity at Pirate Stadium at 6:30
Thursday also.

The race in District 28-2A is
over. There is still one game to
play, but the Rockport Pirates
clinched the Championship with
a 24-12 win over Calallen. Rock-
port finishes district play with a
perfect 6-0 record. The other
teams still have one district
game to play, but they all have
at least one loss.
In other games Friday night
second place George West laid
it on Taft 50-0, only to find out
they had no chance of winning
the district. Mathis pulled the
surprise of the week by upsett-
ing Woodsboro 26-20. This leaves
both teams tied in the district
race with 2-3 records. Ingleside
played outside of the district,
but still lost, 47-24 to Yorktown.
In the last game of the season
Woodsboro will play George
West, Mathis will play Calallen,
and Taft entertains Ingleside in
their homecoming. Rockport will
not play a game. Originally,
they had a game scheduled with
Yoakum. But since, Yoakum
won their district, and the two
teams would have to play each
other again in two weeks in the
Bi-district contest, school offi-
cials decided to call off the one
Friday.
Rockport will take an 8-1 sea-
son info the Bi-district contest.
TTieir only loss of the season
came in Gregory-Portland, when
they lost to the Wildcats 55-12.
This was the third game of the
season.

The 8th grade Bucs also prov-
ed they could win when the
chips were down last Thursday
night as they scored a 8 to 6 vic-
tory over the Woodsboro 8th
grade. The Bucs, trailing 6 to 0
at the half, came back in the
third quarter and pushed over
the tying T.D. after a punt was
blocked by Leonard Garcia an
the 5 yard line of the Woodsboro
eleven. Domingo Benavides scor-
ed the Mathis touchdown on a
4 yard plunge and also tacked
on the winning extra points on
and end sweep.
The Bucs threatened again
early in the fourth quarter as
they drove the ball to the one
yard line of Woodsboro before
two penalities killed the drive
at the five yard line. One of the
penalties erased a Mathis score.
Coach Ready credited the
Bucs fine showing to a fine kick-
ing game which kept Woodsboro
in bad field position in the se-
cond half. Rudy Ruiz punted
once for 55 yards and Benavides
added a 45 yard quick kick to
pull Mathis out of two very bad
holes.
A powerful Woodsboro Junior
varisty tallied twice in the se-
cond half last Thursday night
to down a stubborn Buccaneer
team 21-12. The Bucs scored on
the opening drive of the game
as Russell Carlson sprinted 12
yards on a ptichout around right
end to put Mathis ahead 6-0.
The Bucs kicked off to Woods-
boro leading 6-0 and a big Woods
boro lineman fielded the ball at
the 50 yard line, shook tacklers
and raced into the endzone to
tie the score. The kickoff was an
ortside kick try.
After allowing this easy score
the Bucs came back on the arm

Pasture Land
Generally In
Good Condition
College Station — Recent
rains in many areas of Texas
should be helpful for growing
high-qality winter pastures, says
Neal Pratt, Extension agrono-
mist, Texas A&M University.
Unusually warm, dry weather
during much of the early fall
has limited growth of small
grain and other winter pastur-
es. Even though recent rains
are encouraging, days are be-
coming cooler, and shorter, with
less sunlight in much of the
winter pasture area. All these
factors mean that forage grow-
th in winter pastures will prob-
ably be limited.
Pratt suggest ways for getting
the most out of winter pastures.
The first is to permit forage to
make abundant growth before
cold weather arrives. Forage
plants grow very little during
December, January, and Febr-
uary due to cold temperatures
and inadquate amounts of sun-
light. Thus, the livestock produc-
er should permit winter pastures
to accumulate abudnant growth
before the slow-growing season
arrives.
Detailed informatiin on varie-
ties, fertilization, and other im-
portant aspects of winter pasture
production are available from
local agents.

Flood Insurance
Discussed at
Court Meeting
Frederic Johnson met with
the commissioners court Thurs-
day to discuss a proposed coun-
ty-wide flood insurance.
Johnson, who was appointed
to represent the court as special
counsel on the federal insurance
program. He reported to the
court that the Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment has registered San Patricio
County as an area in flood in-
surance rates. Studies will be
made as funds become available.
The county had made an appli-
cation for the flood insurance.
Johnson said the county will
have to set up a flood control
organization which will have
aounty wide authority to en-
force building controls in flood-
prone areas.
He pointed out that individual
cities and communities can act
independently in the flood insur-
ance provided the individual city
or community has an authorized
governmental organizations to
assume authority and responsi-
bility in exercising controls re-
quired by the federal govern-
ments.
Johnson recommended a
committee with at least two
members from the various com-
missioners precincts to make a
study of the proposed flood in-
surance before any action is tak-
en in adopting or rejecting the
insurance program. The court
set Nov. 10 as the next regular
meeting dates for bringing
names for a committee before
the court.
