Hornets Slip By
Crain, 10-8; Flyers
Here Thursday 7:30
A new form of bribery, or the
quick thinking of a substitute,
spelled victory for the Hornets
over the Crain Comets in Victoria
last Thursday night.
Trailing 8 to 2 in the waning
minutes of the ball game, the ball
resting near the mid-field stripe
a new sub gave the information,
■"The coach said if we didn't score
on this play we wouldn't receive a
jacket." Quarterback Joe Dan Huff-
man called for a hand-off to Louis
Martino who scooted off tackle
and was chased over the goal for
the tying score. A pass from Huff-
man to Rudy Gonzales was good
for the winning two points.
The Hornets play their final
game of the season on Shark Field
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against the
St. Joseph Flyers of Victoria. This
is the last game to be played on
Shark field.
If the Hornets defeat St. Joseph
Thursday night, and Travis Jr.
High defeats Crocket the District
race will end in a three-way tie.

feated Bay City by an 8 to 0
score.):
We saw a foot-ball game for the
first time in our life last Friday
when Palacios made Bay City wish
they had stayed at home and told
what they could do, instead of giv-
ing an open exhibition of what
they thought were capable of doing.
Never having seen a game, we went
to the high school campus per-
suaded that we'd be asking a lot
of foolish questions if we got any
sort of satisfaction out of the
game. But the play had hardly be-
gun before the whole thing un-
folded to us like a dream of youth.
Something like a half century
ago when we were a small tike, we
found great delight on occasions
when visiting our grandfather on
his farm, in going to the corn-crib
and finding a fine large ear take it
to the hog lot and climb to the top
rail and throw the ear as far as
we could out in the pen where
there was a bunch of a dozen or
more small pigs, and then watch
the piggies scramble about that ear
of corn. No one of the pigs was
big enough to pick up the ear and
carry it away, and so a merry time
they'd all have, each trying to
get all the corn off the cob. This
excitement wouldn't last long. The
squealing of the pigs quickly at-
tracted the attention of the larger
hog in the lot, and he'd jump and
come on the run, and with his
Tastes...

Unloaded Gun Is Most
Dangerous, Only One
Of 10 Gun Safety Tips
Ten tips for gun safety:
1. Treat every gun as if it is
loaded.
2. Never point a gun at anything
you do not intend to shoot.
3. Be sure of your target before
you shoot.
4. Before firing be sure barrel
and action are clear and unob-
structed and that you are using the
proper size ammunition.
5. Keep the safety on until you
are ready to shoot and carry the
gun so it will not point at anyone
if you should stumble.
6. Unload your gun before climb-
ing a fence or tree, or when travel-
ing in an automobile or boat.
7. Never shoot a bullet at a
flat, hard surface or at water.
8. Don't mix gunpowder and alco-
hol.
9. Before carrying a gun into
camp, unload it and leave action
open.
10. Be sure guns kept at home
are empty and that ammunition
and weapons are stored in separate
places, away from children.

It happened 100 YEARS ago
The oldest incorporated trade association In the country,
the United States Brewers Association, was organized in
1862.. the same year that
IN TEXAS .. the entire state waited, with hopes and prayers,
for news of Terry's Texas Rangers, beloved for their courage,
daring and skill as fighters. With Albert Sidney Johnston in
Kentucky, In and out of Tennessee with Nathan Bedford
Forrest, Into Georgia with Fighting Joe Wheeler
.. where there was a battle to be won for the
South, the Rangers were there!
And then, as now, beer was the traditional bev-
erage of moderation—light, sparkling refresh-
ment that adds a touch of Southwestern hos-
pitality to any occasion. Texans have always
enjoyed the good fellowship that goes with
every glass.
TODAY, In Its centennialyear, the United States
Brewers Association still works constantly to
assure maintenance of high standards of quality
and propriety wherever beer and ale are served.

snout he'd brush the smaller pigs
asiiV, grab the ear of corn in his
mouth and away he'd go for the
goal—that is some widely vacant
spot in the lot, where he'd drop
the ear and settle down to eating
regular hog fashion, but he'd only
get a good mouthfull till here the
small pigs were on him again
fighting for the feed; and this
time Mr. hog would have a harder
time to get away with the goods.
The two ends played to the middle,
and the tackles very much im-
peded the movement of the boss
hog, and he had to work for it to
make another get away, but he'd
succeed finally and then the whole
performance was done over again
greatly to our childish delight.
Perhaps that wasn't foot-ball as
she is played, but we knew at once
that we were onto the rudiments
or fundaments and perhaps the
origin of the game. Among other
things it dawned on us all at once
why a foot-ball is called a pig-skin
—because the big hog skinned the
little pigs out of the eats.
The thing they call a foot-ball
rather puzzled us. All the balls we
ever played with were round. When
the old rag balls our mothers used
to make for us and covered them
with leather cut from father's old
cast off boot tops would get out of
a spherical shape we'd throw them
away and not rest until a new one
was made. But this thing they call
a foot-ball looked more to us like
a goose egg that had died with
the dropsy.
Of course, as played by real
humans there are many fine points
in the game that we are lame on.
For instance when two bunches
would line up facing each other
with their fore feet on the ground
and their hind feet where they
really ought to be, and one had the
ball on the ground which he han-
dled as if it were hot or trying
to get away from him, we were
not a little mystified to know just
what was coming next, and what it
would be when it did come. Again

Openings Limited For
Army O.C.S. Training
A limited number of applicants
are now being accepted for the U.
S. Army's new Officer Candidate
School (OCS) program, according
to Sergeant Crow, local U. S. Army
Recruiter.
The Army's newest enlistment
option for OCS offers an exciting
challenge to all eligible young men
and assures that qualified appli-
cants will be enlisted specifically
for officer candidate schooling.
Those who complete the OCS
course will be commissioned as sec-
ond lieutenants in the Infantry or
Artillery — depending on which
school they attend.
Complete details on the Army's
Officer Candidate School enlistment
option are available by visiting
Sergeant Crow at 21213 Ave. G,

we were further perplexed when
the man with the ball flipped it be-
tween his hind legs, as though it
were a bomb on which the time
fuse had burned to the last second,
and a fellow in the rear of the
leeward buttresses caught the
thing, while the bunch got up and
got away as fast as they could in
the opposite direction. Sure we ex-
pected to hear something bust. But
it didn't. The man who caught the
ball looked around over the field
for a large vacant spot in which
to throw the ear of corn—we for-
got—we mean the pigskin, and as
soon as he had thrown it then the
whole bunch went to it regular pig
fashion. It sure was sport. If there
had been a fence handy we'd have
climbed up on it and yelled some
ourself, just as wc did in the days
when you and I were young, Mag-
gie.
Another thing that pulled our
goatee was the umpire, score-
keeper or whatever he may have
been. Every once in a while he'd
call a down, but he nover got be-
yond four downs, and we are sure
we saw forty or more downs and
some that were mighty near out;
but of course we presume we are
now exposing our ignorance of a
game that we started out to show
that we knew all about even if
we had never seen it before. We
could tell a lot more about the
game, but good manners suggest
that it isn't the right thing to tell
all you know at one time.
The place where they play the
game is called a gridiron because
the players all get hot and are well
done by the time the game ends.

Spl4 Abelarno Trevino
Participates In Army
Exercise Three Pairs
FORT HOOD, Tex.—Army Spec-
ialist Four Abelardo Trevino of
Palacios, Texas, recently partici-
pated in Exercise Three Pairs, a
United States Strike Command
j'oint Army-Air Force maneuver, at
Fort Hood, Texas.
The exercise, which pitted mem-
bers of the 1st and 2d Armored
Divisions against each other, was
designed to train Army and Air
Force units in combined operations
stressing team play, speed and
flexibility and the development of
maximum fire power.
Specialist Trevino is a mechanic
in Company C of the 2d Armored
Division's 124th Ordnance Bat-
talion at the fort. He entered the
Army in June 1960 and completed
basic combat training at Fort Hood,
Texas.
The 21-year-old soldier, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Lauro Trevino, 808
Main St., Palacios, attended Pa-
lacios High School. His wife, Mary,
lives at 1609 Avenue I, Bay City,
Texas.
The November issue of Texas
Game and Fish, the official publi-
cation of the Game and Fish Com-
mission, has been dedicated to the
National Audubon Society. The lead
story in the magazine, "Sentinel of
Conservation", is authored by
Charles H. Callison, assistant to
the President of the Society.
Callison says in his article that
"almost everyone associates Au-
dubon with birds. Those of us on
the national staff strive constantly
to correct the impression held by
many people—including, unfortun-
ately, some of our own members—
that an Audubon Society (national
or local) is merely a society of bird
watchers and that our sole purpose
is bird protection or the promotion
of bird watching as a sport." He
then goes on to say that "birds
"cannot be separated from their
habitat or from all the other ani-
mals and plants that make up the
world of nature. We are interested
in all wildlife. So we are neces-
sarily interested in the lakes, riv-
ers, marshes, forests, range lands
and farms of America and in all the
complex inter-relationships of na-
ture. We must concern ourselves
with government agencies whose
programs affect these resources."
In other words, the Audubon So-
ciety is more than just a bird
watching organization. Texans will
not want to miss this complete and
interesting article on this great
society.
