THE YELLOW JACKET, OCTOBER 2, 1664

Howard Payne can be very
proud o£ Its former football
talent in that there are now
three players making headlines
for various pro teams.
Two of these former HPC
greats played against each oth-
er in Houston last week. How-
ever, Ray Jacobs, now a first
team x tackle for the Denver
Broncos and Dobie Craig, a first
string end for the Houston Oil-
ers, didn't have much opportu-
nity to discuss past experiences
at their alma mater. Craig car-
ried much of the load for the
Oilers catching one of George
Blanda's touchdown passes.
Another HPC gridman, Kenneth
Gray, is now a mainstay of the
St. Louis Cardinal line. Gray
has been named to the National
Football League's All-Pro foot-
ball team in past years.

Lone Star Conference play
begins this week at Alpine,
at the den of the Sol Boss
Lobos. Southwest Texas State
will travel to Alpine for what
should be a breather lor
them in the conference this
year. Last year Southwest
Texas took the Lone Star Con-
ference by storm as they won
10 and lost none.
As HPC officially opens its
conference debut, the cross
country team will have its sec-
ond official meet of the sea-
son next week. This will be a
dual meet with ACC here in
Brownwood. The cinder meet
will take place at Riverside
Park. Then the Yellow Jackets
will open their conferecne foot-
ball play with the Sam Houston
Bearcats at 7:30. This could be
a fun filled day of sports at
HPC if the entire student body
would turn out for the cross
country meet and then follow
it up with a night at the sta-
dium to watch our Yellow Jack-
ets win their first conference
game of the season.
In other action this weeST
LSC teams are taking on
tough foes of other conferen«
ces. This is the way I would
pick 'em — Arkansas State
over Stephen F. Austin, Tex-
as A&I over Texas Lutheran,
East Texas over Louisiana,
and Sam Houston over Corpus
Christ! IT.

A word or two has been
brought to my atention by the
cheerleaders of this fine insti-
tution. It seems they enjoy
leading yells at our pep rallys
more than anything else in the
world EXCEPT when there Is
no one there to yell with them.
Let me see the football
team is there the yell
leaders are there the band
is there the Jacket Coeds
are there even the fresh-
men are there, but someone is
missing! Could it be that eome
enthusiastic members of the
classes of '65. '66, and '67 are
not able to make it to the gym
by themselves on Friday nights?
I wonder how they can expect
those inferior slime to cooperate
if they don't?

Bulldogs Win 7-0
TLC Takes HPC
Howard Payne's first road Gene Young. The Yellow Jack-
406 Center Ave.
trip of the season ended in
d'efeat last Saturday as the TLC
Bulldogs took them 7-0. The
Yellow Jacket's 7-0 loss to Tex-
as Lutheran was not the only
bad news to come out of Sequin
Saturday night. In suffering
their second loss in three games
the Yellow Jackets lost the ser-
vices of quarterback Grady
West for the remainder of the
season.
West sustained a broken jaw
early in the game. His jaw was
broken in three places and he
is to undergo surgery in Dallas
later this week. West had only
recently overcome two knee
operations to move into the
staring role.
The Yellow Jackets could not
generate a dtrive in. the first
half and their initial first down
of the game came with 5:35 left
in the third quarter on a Texas
Lutheran penalty. . They got
their second of three for the
night when Gene Young passed
to Ronnie Daum for 35 yards to
the Lutheran 35.
That drive was the Jackets
deepest of the night as they
wound up on the TLC 25 short
short yardage by Rodney
Senterfitt, Mike Rogers, and
Workouts Begin
For HPC Cagers
With the first game still two
months away the basketball
team has begun light work-
outs. Coach Whitls says that
the early program is mainly
for conditioning and "feet-
toughening^." and to let the
men get the feel of the court
The Jackets, always the team
to beat in the Lone Star Con-
ference, will return seven let-
termen to the lineup. Three of
these, Walter Carter, 6-6 for-
ward, Robert Springer, 6-8
center, and Royce Cooper, 6-1
forward, were starters on last
year's team that tied for the
Conference Championship.
Danny Faubion, 6-0 guard,
and Jim Rich, 6-1 forward, will
return this year after being
out with injuries part of last
season. Both are lettermen and
are expected to be mainstays
of the team , this year.
Coach Whitis said that the
freshmen look fine at this ear-
ly viewing. The freshman tal-
ent is Mike Gibbs, 6-4, from
Bowie, George Jennings, 6-3,
from Gate City, Va., John Ad-
ams, 6-7, from Midland, Paul
Aday, -11, from Plainview, and
Jackie Johnson, 6-8, from San
Antonio. Tommy Hawkins, 6-8,
is a transfer from Lqvera Jun-
ior College, and Larry Sievers,
6-8, returns to the HPC bas-
ketball court after a brief rest.
ets fell inches short of a first
down andj the Bulldogs took
over to snuff out th6 one mo-
ment of offensive glory.
Texas Luthern marched 50
yards for a touchdown midway
into the third quarter for the
first and only score of the ball
game.
The Bulldog's third-quarter
score came on a two-yard pass
from Bulldog quarterback Arlon
Kirchner to ehd Jeral Rains
with 6:35 left in the period.
Halfback Henry Krause kicked
the extra point and the Bulldogs
had a lead they never relin-
quished.
HPC was handed a final scor-
ing opportunity in the final four
minutes of the game as the re-
sult of a short Bulldbg punt,
but again the offense gould not
muster as Doug Holtzclaw was
sed incomplete and Gene Young
thrown for a 9 yard loss on the
first play. Holtzclaw then pas-
missed on the third and fourth
down tries, The Bulldogs took
over and marched down the
field; to the HPC 20 where
Kirshner attempted a 37-yard
field goal as time ran out.

RUGGED PLAY — Texas Lutheran quarterback, Arlon Kirchner,
carries the ball early in the duel with Howard Payne. Coming up
to stop him is HPC's Wendell Byrom with Larry Jones and
Kenneth Hudson closing in for the assist.
Howard Payne will take to
the road for the second week;
in a row to face the San An-
gelo Rams in San Angelo Sat-
urday.
The Yellow Jackets will go
into the game with two de-
feats on their record. San An-
gelo will probably be picked
as the underdog, with a record
of 1-1. Although they did up-
set the McMurry Indians three
weeks ago, the Rams have just
begun a new football era for
San Angelo State College and
they have a lot of experience
to make up. They haven't seen
grid action for several years
and even then it was on the
junior college level. Last week
the Rams had the misfortune
of being caught inside the ACC
stadium and were chewed up
by the Bobcats.
Although the defense held
its ground in HPC's encounter
with TLC last week the offense
failed to click once more. The
San Angelo club, while being
a young and possibly inexper-
ianced crew, will not wait
around for the Jackets to get
moving this week. If the hive
could mean trouble for; the
Yellow Jackets.
Coach Max Bumgardner's
Rams have averaged over 200.
They have a pro set offensive
with freshman quarterback Jim
Truelove directing the attack.
However, HPC's aerial defense
has been one of the bright spots
of the three games played. The
team has-allowed only 116 yards
for an average of 38,7 yards
a contest. Opponents have com-
pleted 11 of 35 for a .314 per-
centage and three more have
beien intercepted.
Intramural Play
Begins Tuesday
Two games Tuesday will of-
ficially open the Howard Payne
intramural touch football sea-
son, according to Intramural
director Stuart Beebe.
Beebe, former Yellow Jack-
et football player who is now
working toward his degree,
plans for two games to be
played each Tuesday and Thurs-
day.
A meeting of all team cap-
tains was scheduled) for Thurs-
day. Each team will be com-
posed of eight to 10 players.
More than 8,000 helicopters
have been built in the United
States since World War II.
