Thirteen-year-old Hed Ewers, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Ewers Jr., of Stephenville, recently
attended a two week session of concentrated
baseball instruction at Chandler Baseball School in
Chandler, Oklahoma.
The camp was opened to boys ages eight through
18. Attending the sessions were athletes from the
United States, Japan, Mexico, Germany and
Korea.
According to Fred’s dad, the instructional ses-
sions made up about fifty per cent of the program
with the remainder of the time devoted to regula-
tion games with teams from Oklahoma City and
Tulsa.
Camp director was Tom “Bo” Belcher and many
of the instructors were former professional
baseball players.
If there is one thing this world needs desperately,
it’s another sport!
Among the mail which was received recently at
this office was a promotion for what was described
as “a lifetime sport with no disappointments.”
The guarantee alone is enough to spark interest.
The letter was from the Hocker Federation Inter-
national in Fairfield, Connecticut. According to
them the sport (namely hocker) is headed for in-
stsnt success.
Judge J.H. Norton developed the sport along with
his 14 children.... (That’s enough for two and four-
fifths of a basketball team’s or one and a half
baseball teams.) The object of the game is possibly
to keep a large number of children busy and out of
the house for several hours at a time. It might also
allow for “legally” striking one’s teammate or
opponent on th’e head with a ball... as siblings often
enjoy. ~ "
The sport mixes basketball, soccer, volleyball
and a number of other sports. The equipment in-
cludes a goal post with two cross bars running
parallel. This rectangular section is divided into
three parts by two diagonal partitions. Points are
. made by slapping, kicking, bouncing, clubing or
otherwise propelling the 16 inch hocker ball
through the one of the three “boxes.” There are dif-
ferent points scored according to which area the
ball goes through.
A hocker match consists of three out of five, or
five out of seven (preferrable determined before
the game begins) sets. A set consists of seven
points. A ball through the center portion is five
points, the two on either side is worth four points,
over the bars counts as one and under the goal
counts as three.
Hands, feet, heads or any part of the body can be
used to propel the ball through the goal.
According to its pro-
moters, the sport will
catch on quickly and has
great potential in
► “school systems, exer-
cises classes, youth
organizations and pro-
fessional sports.”
sport is still questionable: Once admitted into the
athletic agenda, all summer Hocker camps in
Texas must be prdhibited and the eligibility of its
players would have to be strictly governed. What
age plays with who.. Boys against girls?
As tar as professional HoOkfer is concerned...
well, don’t buy those season tickets yet. How long
- would the hocker season be and how many games
would they play. How much money could a talented
highly recruiter hocker player be expected to
make...look out Bowie Kuhn and Pete Roselle......

Everyone talking aboutSuper Bow]
American Conference East packed with potential
By DICK BRAUDE
AP Sports Writer
There’s Super Bowl talk by
more than one team in the Na-
tional Football League’s rugg-
ed American Conference
Eastern Division, where con-
tenders outnumber also-rans.
The AFC East includes two
playoff teams from 1978, the
New England Patriots and
Miami Dolphins; a potentially
powerful squad on the re-
bound, the Baltimore Colts; a
young team perhaps ready to
blossom, the New York Jets;
and the Buffalo Bills, possibly
last — but far from least — in
a division rich with talent.
“If you’re afraid to talk
ibout the Super Bowl, you ' of the best teams in the NFL.”
Jones is back, as is Miami’s
Bob Griese who, despite miss-
ing the opening five games
last year, led NFL passers
with 63 percent passing ac-
curacy.
And the Jets will have
signal-caller Richard Todd in
harness after he missed much
of the 1978 season with a
second and third with the Yan-
kees this season.

Rangers had taken a 5-3 lead
