AMERICA’S
NEXT GREAT
SOURCE OF
NATURAL GAS?
Producers are finding a lot of “super” gas wells in
Oklahoma’s and Texas’ deep basins. A super well
produces enough gas in a year to equal the energy in a
million barrels of oil. This is enough gas to* heat 1,000
homes for almost 56 years!
Exploration of these n
ultra-deep basins is gaining
momentum now that pro- II
ducers have the technology
to drill below 20,000
feet. I n fact, many \\
industry experts believe 3L_—_ -
the deep basins will be ilEKr R A?
America’s next great **""*”\\*****
source of gas. f
The average gas well costs 1
about $300,000 to complete. A deep
well Can cost up to $ 10 million, which explains
why it’s often necessary to pay higher prices for
the gas we buy.
Lone Star has been buying gas from shallower
production in the deep-basin areas fpr years. Our
pipeline network will help us buy new gas selectively,
negotiate hard for terms favorable to you, and deliver
the gas efficiently and economically.
F Producers now have the
technology to tap enormous,
previously unreachable gas
reserves in this area’s
ultra-deep basins.

What’s rarer than one female sports-editor? Two
female sports editors.
The Tarleton student publication, the “J-TAC”
announced this week that Vicki Baker of Hico will be
covering the men’s extramural sports for the paper
this semester. Vicki says she is not “sports editor”
but rather a “reporter” but she will be in the press
box for the Texan games and will be in charge of
doing the game reports for the paper...it’s just a step
tothe “editorship.”
Best of luck, Vicki.

Uke some of the old New York
Yankee teams, tradition and
Roger Staubach carried the
Dallas Cowboys to another
National Football victory Sun-
day, 24-20, over the Chicago
Bean.
“I looked over at the

touchdown and they were
celebrating like they had won

we just knew we could do it
We’ve been there before.”
In all three Cowboy vic-
tories they have come from
behind in the fourth quarter.
"The turning point was the
last drive,” said Chicago
strong safety Doug Plank.
"We just couldn’t stop them.
Any time the situation comes
down to where you can’t make
the play, you're going to lose. ”
Chicago Coach Neill Arm-
strong said, "1

pressed. They are capable of
doing all kinds of things. We
used this game as a measur-
ing stick to see how good we
are. I think we are going to be
pretty good.”
Staubach passed for 221
yards on 18 of 31 passes, in-
cluding scoring tosses of 42
yards to Hill and 11 to Billy
Joe Dupree.
But the passes that really
mattered were in the closing
drive where he hit Drew Pear-
son for 13 yards, Hill for 13,
Preston Pearson for 23 and
then the short game-clincher
tothe “Thrill” Hill.
“I hurt in my heart," said
Richards. “It was the hardest
thing I ever had to do, play
against my old team. And they
won like they have so many
times before ... nothing ever
seems to change with them.”
Chicago dropped to a 2-1
record and fell out of first
place in the National Con-
ference Central Division
behind Tampa Bay.
Dallas leads the NFC East a
full game ahead of the
Philadelphia Eagles.

commonly recognized by the
name Sam c

120,000 first prize.
“I had been chipping well all
day," Washam said of the shot
that won the tournament. "I
tried to get it up over a little
hill. lapsed a sand wedge,
which J don’t normally do.
Usually, I try to chip it to the
green, then run it to the hole.”
In team golf, each player'
conijjletes each hole, with the
lowest score counting in the
team total. .
“Jo Ann played super,"
Lopez said, forgetting her own
birdie on the 17th hole that put
her team in a position to win it
at the 18th.
“I told her I was going to
linebacker D.D. Lewis. "Hell,
we knew It was a long way
from over.”
Trailing 20-17, Staubach
whipped the Cowboys on a
lightning 71-yard blitz in 57
seconds, flipping a 22-yard
screen pass to Tony Hill for
the game’s winning
touchdown with 1:57 to play.
“It's just a matter of our be-
ing in a number of close
games in the past," said
Lewis. "I think it probably
started back in 1972 with
Roger."
Staubach brought Dallas (3-

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -
In team golf, the trick is to
play well when your partner
doesn’t.'
Nancy Lopez and Jo Ann
Washam followed that for-
mula to near-perfection Sun-
day, making up for each
other's mistakes and scoring a
one-stroke victory in the
1110,000 LPGA team cham-
pionship.
While Lopez was blasting
the ball into a sand trap, then
slamming her next shot far
over the green on the 18th,
Washam was cooly knocking a
90-foot wedge shot two feet
from the cup.
The subsuquent birdie putt
gave the Izipei-Washam duo a
21-under-par 198 in the 54-hole fx Lopez and Washam lost the
lead briefly to Lauren Howe
and Janet Coles on the back
nine.
On the 11th hole, Lopez jam-
med her tee shot next to a tree
and had to take a ftrop for an
extra stroke. Washam also
was in trouble and the team
took a bogey to fall into a tie
with Howe and Coles.
Howe and Coles took the
lead with a birdie on 12. But
Lopez and Washam regained
it when Washam sank a 10-foot
birdie putt on 15.
Lopez missed a Moot birdie
putt on the 16th and was
visibly upset.
"A five-footer like that to
meiv ? in.” she said
Lopez-Washam have magic
combination in LPGA
give her $15,000 and I’ll take ~
$5,000,” Ixipez laughed after it
was over. “Of course, I’m
not." *
The final round was
anything but easy for the
Lopez-Washam pair, which in-______
dividually has won $245,000 on
the LPGA tour this year. The
team .victory won’t count in
the official earnings because
the event is an unofficial stop
on the women’s tour.
As the leaders began the
final three holes, five teams
had a chance to win. Charging
hardest were Susie Berning
and Carole Jo Skala.
They managed eight birdies
in an 8-under-par 65 to wind up
in second place at 20-under-
par 199. They both missed bir-
die putts on the 18th.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
— Roger Erickson made the
pitching staff of the Mi, uiesota
Twins last year because hte
was able to get batters to hit
the ball on the ground, and it’s
still working for him.
Handed a six-run lead in the
second inning by some shoddy
Texas fielding, Erickson kept
the Twins’ division hopes alive
with a 6-2 victory over the
Rangers Sunday night.
But a couple of double plays
helped a lot.
“He made the club in 1978
because he could throw
ground balls that represented
potential double plays. That’s
the final score.
The “Fighting Texans of the Week” awards went
to Charles Carlton on defense and Sam Scott on
offense in their loss to Austin College. Scott was the
top receiver for the Texans in the 17 to 13 loss to the
Kangaroos making four receptions for over 60 yards.
Carlton headed up a stubtxim Texan defense that
held the awesome offensive attack of the Roos to
three field goal attempt (with only one successful) in
the first half. Carlton had eight tackles, seven
assists, one interception, one recovered fumble, a
blocked field goal and was credited with causing
another fumble.
That makes up for the week we missed. The
players honored in the Jacket game with Mineral
Wells and the Texan game with Sul Ross will be
announced later in the week.
Just a few notes....
We are a little behind in announcing the players of .
the week for the season openers; but wHl do so now
so that they can receive the recognition they
deserve. ‘
The Stephenville High School players of the week
for the season opener against Graham were Kyle
Fomes and Kyle Heffley on offense and Scott
Manley on defense.
Fomes had four catches for 39 yards and a
touchdown in the 36 to 34 victory over the Steers.
Heffley finished the night hitting 14 of 24 passes for
146 yards including completing six of seven in the
fourth quarter to engineer a come from behind
drive.
The Stephenville junior scored on runs of 10 yards
and one yard and threw TD passes to Fomes,
Charles Peek and Kenny Weldon.
Manley was a part of the determined Jacket
defense that held off the Steers in the second half
allowing the offense to catch up. The Stephenville
- defense was also responsible for blocking an extra

the main reason, and that’s
what saved him tonight,” Min-
nesota Manager Gene Mauch
said after the win.
Willie Montanez, who
homered and hit two singles
for Texas to run his hitting str-
ing to 11 games, singled to left
in the bottom of the second.
But Billy Sample hit a
grounder to short, and Roy
Smalley turned it into a twin
killing.
Bump Wills singled in the
sixth, but Al Oliver hit a
double-play grounder to short.
Wills’ bad throw on a bases-
loaded grounder with two outs
let the Twins score their first
two runs. Danny Goodwin and
Ken Ixindreaux followed with
two-run doubles, and Erickson
coasted in, raising his record
to 2-9 with help from Darrell
Jackson the last two innings.
“Erickson had some good
fortune and the balls Texas hit
were well directed in our
favor,” said Mauch, whose
rf J
z
This reporter has never denied being a bit sen-
timental at times and a touch emotional.
The years since graduating from Stephenville
High School have begun to accumulate rather
rapidly and those “good ol’ days” seem more and
more distant when watching the student bodies of
today.
However, seeing the first Yellow Jacket game as a
non-student, did bring a stirring feeling from within
and the first strings of the “Here’s a toast of
Stephenville High...” brought back some fond
memories.
■ - As a student, the traditions and songs of your alma
mater very often come as a matter of routine rather
than sentiment. It’s not till later years that the true
appreciation of the moments are realized.
What’s the old saying “Youth is wasted on the
young”?
Twins keep division hopes alive;
Rangers 'washed out’ by series
Twins moved to within four
games of front-runner Califor-
nia and one game behind Kan-
sas City in the American
League West with 13 games to
play.
“Everything has to go just
right, I realize that, but we’re
still in this race: Kansas City ,
just absolutely must mangle
California, and I know that’s
what would help Kansas City
also. But that’s all we can
hope for,” Mauch said.
California has seven games
left with Kansas City and six
with Texas.
Texas manager Pat Cor-
rales, who held out hopes for
his own team until losing three
of four in the Minnesota
series, closed the Rangers’
clubhouse doors for 10 minutes
after the game to meet with
his players.
“It isn’t any business of the
press,” Corrales said, declin-
ing repeatedly to discuss what
was said.
Doc Medich, 9-7, took th?
loss after the six unearned
runs poured in. John Henry
Johnson relieved him in the
second and pitched two-hit
ball for six and one-third inn-
ings, giving up a pair of
doubles, but no runs. He
retired 15 in a row from the
third through the eighth.
“I went out there thinking
one thought, that they already
had six runs and didn’t need
anymore," the lefthander
said.
The Rangers got one run on
Montanez’ sixth homer in the
seventh and another run in the
eighth when Jackson gave up
singles to Buddy Bell and
Montanez and then threw two
wild pitches.
