There are 16 additional dams al-
ready constructed with three in
process of vegetating, in the Fay-
West, Lockhart, and Cameron.
The Eagles have improved
greatly since the beginning of the
year and are now considered co-
| favorites for the district title with
the Royal Knights of Brookshire-
Pattison. Both of these teams will
seek their first district win of the
season and a good battle is in
store. - -
The dinner will give the many
people in Central Texas who voted
for Senator Tower last winter the
chance to meet him in-person.
Senator Tower, who is devoting
the Congressional Recess to visit
different parts of Texas, will be at-
the dinner early enough to greet
early corners before the meal.
Republican leaders from other

in attendance. ____4
as for the 1962 upland cotton crop those voting must approve the quo-
will be 7,698,169 acres — 151 027 tas to make them effective.
F The secretary has set the nation-
al upland cotton marketing quota
for the next crop at 15,714,000 stan-
dard bales of 500 pounds gross
weight. .

are soaking wet from the rains
which Hurricane Carla was just
then pushing into the lower valley.
-But neither rain nor hurricane
could interfere with the progress
of the hunt, for the season lasts
only three days. So "there go the

The Eagles have a starting line-
up that contains six seniors and
five juniors. On offense their av-
erage weight is 162 pounds and on
defense 173 pounds. The Buffs av-
erage about 170 pounds per man.
The basic Eagle offense is a
wing T with a balanced line, using
many crossbucks and their basic
defense is a six or seven man line
with a three-deep secondary.
The Eagles, known for their hus-
tle and desire, promise to give the
Buffs a hard fight, and will-be fa-
vorites because of their fine play
in district. The Buffs, who have
been held scoreless in their last
two games, must improve their of-
fense in.order to win this game.
A victory for the Buffs would keep
them in contention for the title. A
defeat would remove them from
contention. The Buffs must win
this game!
