By FRANK C. BADDER
JOSHUA (SP)--An ani-
mated discussion took place
between two officials during
the half-time break of the
Joshua-Midlothian game Fri-
day night.
One of the officials had
thrown a flag against a
Midlothian receiver for of-
fesnsive pass interference on
a play in which Joshua’s Jeff
Rickman hauled in a toss
from Midlothian quarterback
Glenn Hartson. Keith Rod-
gers was the offending play-
er for Midlothian, the official
claimed.
Rickman, while covering
Rodgers, looked back . over
his shoulder, saw the ball
coming, turned and back-
pedaled to make the inter-
ception. Meanwhile, Rod-
gers had fallen down and
Rickman fell over him to
as he made the snag. The
official said Rodgers should
not have done it.
The fans were pleased.
But another official-with
more authority, apparently-
disagreed with the call and
ruled that Rickman was the
offending party. He gave
the ball back to the Panthers
who then scored a touch-
down-after time had run out
in the first half -to take a 7-6
lead into the locker room at
the half.
The fans were not pleased.
“He (Rickman) backed up
into him (Rodgers) before he
(Rickman) went for the ball,”
the overruling official told
the Star during the half-time
break.
It may have been just as
wel for Joshua, however, as

Flags” and the Panthers
wound up with a first down
at the Joshua 29 following
what appeared to be an
interception by Rickman.
The head zebra, however,
said no and, on the next play,
Hartson found James Bena-
videz all alone in the end-
zone for six points. The
extra point try was good and
the Panthers smirked into
the dressing room at the half
with a 7-6 lead.
But the Owls were angry.
They took the opening
kickoff of the second half and
marched 70 yards in only
nine plays to regain the lead.
Outstanding in the drive
were runs of 12 yards by
Howel, and 27, 12 and nine
yards by Woods-the last of
which was good for six
points and a 12-7 Owl lead.

AUSTIN - The sheeps-
head is one of the most often
seen, but seldom caught, of
sport fishes along the Texas
Gulf Coast.
This zebra-striped fish is
common in all Texas bay
systems and can be seen
plucking barnacles and other
organisms from bridge pil-
ings, jetties and other sub-
merged structures.
But tricking one of the
oversized panfish into taking
a bait, then hooking its bony
mouth is a feat which frust-
rates all but the most patient
and skilled anglers, accord-
ing to Texas Parks and
Wildlife Departments biolo-
gist Lee M. Green of Rock-
port,
Sheepshead in Texas
usually weigh between two
and four pounds, but occa-
sionally one in the 10-pound
range is caught, Green said.
“The best way to catch
sheepsheads is by using
small blue crabs, fiddler
crabs with large claws re-
moved, cracked clams, small
oysters, shrimp or in some
cases’cut fish,” Green said.
“It’s also best to fish around
structures such as jetties,
and it helps to chum with
barnacles scraped off a near-
by rock or piling.”
Also, Green added that the;
best time to fish for sheeps-
heads is in the spring and
fall, because it is believed
they feed heavily on algae
during the summer and are
reluctant to take bait.
If the angler is skillful
enough to land some sheeps-
heads he can look forward to
a good meal as their flesh is
considered distinctive and
flavorful.

The Star predicted, before
the season started, that the
Owls would finish the year in
second place in their district.
And with only two games
remaining to be played it
appears that that prediction
was right on the mark...un-
less someone can defeat
Cedar Hill.
Roy Woods posted one of
his finest efforts for the
Owls, rushing for 165 yards.
When he was told, at the
beginning of the second half,
that he had 57 yards so far,
he said, “Well, I’ll, get 77
yards in the second half.”
He made good on that
promise-and then some-
-with a 108 yard effort in the
final two periods.
Ron Howell, a 200-pound
senior fullback for the Owls,
also turned in an outstanding
rushing performance, bulling
his way for 70 yards.
The Owls mounted a drive
late in the first quarter from
their own 35 yard line, but
stalled at the Midlothian 16
where Robbie Davis-who is
still wincing from a turned
ankle he suffered against
Lake Worth the week be-
fore-missed a field goal at-
tempt.-

Even on weeknights,
save up to 35%.
Sometimes you can’t wait for the week-
end. Or you don’t want to. But you can still
save plenty Sunday through Friday from 5 pm
to 11 pm. Think about what a bargain it is to
quarterback Glenn Hartson
at mid-field, but the Owls
offense couldn’t get moving
and Joshua was forced to
punt.
After two more plays, the
Panthers turned the ball
over again when Robbie
Davis fell on a Hartson
fumble at the 16 yard line. It
took the Owls six plays to
draw first blood on a one-
yard plunbge by Woods at
6:59 of the second ]
Paul Taylor’s extra point try
was no good and the Owls
led^ 6-0.
Hartson cranked up his
arm again a couple of posses-
sions later and moved the
Panthers from their own 36
to the Joshua 15 with com-
pletions to Wade Heath for
16 yards, Keith Rodgers for
17 yards, and Jeff Roesler
for 12 yards.
But luck failed Hartson at
the pay window and he hit
Roy Woods at the six yard
line for another Johsua inter-
ception.
Owl quarterback Derrel
Hulcy fared no better, how- The Buffs came away with
ever, as he was intercepted a 28414 win and dominated
two plays later by Midlo- ..statistics with 407 total
thian’s Mark Wolfe. X^ar/s to the Elks’ 164.
That’s when Rickman, *Ward White scored on a
Rodgers and two referees 75-yard run to put Burleson
jn Ae scoring column after
the Elks fell behind 21-0 at
halftime.
Haltom started its scoring
parade with a 93-yard run
and continually kept control
of the ball to rack up four
touchdowns.
Alan Nichols scored Bur-
leson’s second touchdown on
a 10-yard run and also dived
in for the two point conver-
sion after the second touch-
down.
Nichols had a fabulous
night punting, kicking five
times for a 53-yard average.
His. boots were 41, 41, 70, 59
and 55 yards.

for 104 yards to spark

jpk much. A five minute

$2.50 when you dial

The Panthers couldn’t
move the football, and a
fourth-down punt was good
for only eight yards, giving
the Owls possession again at
the Midlothian 34. Five
plays later, Woods broke
through from the 16 for his
third touchdown of the even-
ing. He then ran for the
two-point conversion to give
the Owls a 20-7 lead.
Hartson put together
another respectable drive
for the Panthers, leading his
team from their own 26 to
the Owl 12, but penalty flags
