Panhandle Last Non-Conference Foe
•r E. W. RILEY
The 1975 Tulia High School acti-
vities will climax Friday as the
Tulia Hornets play host to the
Panhandle Panthers in Younger
Field at 8:00 p.m. The 1-AA Pan-
thers were hurt by graduation los-
s s and figure to be in a rebuild-
ing process after compiling only
a 3 - 7 record last year. Inexperi-
ence and youth will have to be
overcome but desire and hustle
often play even larger role in
the outcome athletic encounters
Last week the Hornets traveled
to Dimmitt for a non-conference
bout against the ever-tough Bob-
cats. Tulia emerg d with their
fifth straight victory 7 - 0. in
a hard-hitting defensive struggle,
leading the Hornet defensive unit
was John Mays with high st de-
fensive rating, follow.d closely by
Jimmy Fre man. Monte Cannon,
and Larry Billingsley Each mem-
ber of the defense has contributed
to the overall effort as the situa-
tion has d< manded.
Tuba's hading rusher was Ray-
mond Williams with 142 yards in
25 carries. Monte Cannon contribu-
ted 57 yards on 18 tries and Larry
Anderson gained 14 yards in one
try. Leading the Bobcat offense
was Thompson Mayberry, sopho-
more, with 47 yards in IS
attempts.
The offensive line, which is often
overlooked by the average sports
fan. was led by Gary Hutson and
John Mays These young men re-
ceived the highest offensive block-
ing pr rcentages. according to the
coach s.
Monte Cannon and Jan Kiker
return d to full speed action after
having been slowed due to injury
nr illness. Bobby Keeter remains
sidelined with a broki n ankle.
Bobcat Tony Washington return-
ed the opening Tulia kick-off out
to the Dimmitt 35 yard line. Five
plays later tackle John Mays jar-
red the ball loose from Dimmitt's
Larry Rosset and recovered on
the ilormt 45 vard line. The Hor-
nets were able to pick up only
one first down b.fore Dimmitt's
defense forced a punt situation.
Tuba's only serious scoring
thrpat in t h e first half oc-
curred following an exchange
of punts. Putting t h e ball
in play at the Dimmitt 39
yard line, Raymond Williams gain-
ed seven yards on first down and
Cannon picked up the first down
with an eleven yard dash First
down at the Bobcat 21 yard line
saw three pass plays fall incom-
plete. Fourth down resulted in a
turnover as a big Dimmitt rush
caught QB Steve Brown for a
loss
Dimmitt's d epest penetration of
the first half followed as they
moved th- ball downfieM, picking
up three first downs. The Hornet
defense stiffened and brought up
a fourth and five situation.
A fourth down pass fell incomplete
with the ball going over at the
Tulia 18 yard line.
Neither team was able to mount
an effective offense during the
first half and the first half ended
with no scoring.
Taking the second half kick-off
at his 20, Jerry Williams returned
the ball out to the Hornet 31
yard line. The Hornets picked four
first downs with Raymond Wil-
liams and Monte Cannon grinding
out short yardage. Williams cap-
ped the drive with a 23 yard
TD scamper with 5:30 left in the
third quarter Cannon kicked the
extra point for the final score
of 7 - 0.
The only other serious scoring
threat occurred early in the fourth
quarter A very short punt by
Dimmitt’s Tommy Kenworthy
have Tuba excellent field position
at the Dimmitt 21 yard line Wil-
liams picked up about 10 yards
but fumbled as he was hit with
Dimmitt recovering
Late in the fourth quart r the
Hornets took possession at the
Dimmitt 33 yard line following
Cannon's recovery of a Bobcat
miscue. A Hornet fumble six plays
later ended the threat.

JR SENSATIONAL TRIAL was held recently in
Lubbock.
Nelson Bunker Hunt and his brother Herbert,
sons of the late II L. Hunt of Dallas, had been
chargc-d with wiretapping. The* trial had been trans-
ferred to Lubbock, presumably in order to insure
the Hunts a fair trial.”
That's a masterpiece of understatement.
^^NLY PLACE THE middle-aged Hunts could
have g iten a trial more “f a i r” to them-
selves would have wen at Wednesday night prayer
meeting at the First Bap'ist Church of Dallas!
Proving the wiretapping charge was not the
purpose uf,the trial The Hunt brothers admitted
th - charm was title. Purpose of lit*- trial was to
decide w%ll|er or not Bunker and Herbert KNEW
that wiretaidkng is illegal.
Since wfetapr-ng has been making headlines
for the pa.sf 15 years or more, it is difficult to
understand that Bunker. 40, and Herbert, 46. had
ne ver gotten the word. Nevertheless, it was the
slate's responsibility to prove they had never gotten
toe word.
\nd Lubbock offered perhaps the best climate
in all the world for a cerdict favorable to the
Hunts.
jo UNDERSTAND THE VARIOUS facets of the
I trial, the defendants, the jury, it is helpful to
rounder some of the factors which helped set the
stage and which possibly influenced tnc jury.
It used to be a game with newspapers and
magazines to guess whether Haroldson Lafayette
Hum or his oil p er .1 Paul Getty was America's
richest man The New York Times Magazine rated
Hum number one. Then Fortune and Life promoted
Getty. That rating lasted until Time jumped Hunt
to the top again, quoting Getty with the modest
disclaimer: "The corpoiations in which I own sha-
res are rich enterprises, but I am not wealthy.
They hold the property. They control me. In terms
of extraordinary, independent wealth, there is only
one man. H. L. Hunt.”
Hunt and his sons ruled their oil empire as
individual men. not even as a family, and mast
certainly without a board of dilectors.
^JUNT QUIT SCHOOL in the 5th grade when
■ ■ he was 13 After a stint at farming, he was
wiped out in 1921 when cotton prices dropped. This
drove him to oil.
For many years ihe story has been that Hunt,
an extremely able man with cards, won his first
lease at the gaming table He became the world's
most expansive wildcat explorer. His leases were
in Kuwait, that wildcatters' |>aradise where a dry
hoie has never been drilled He had leases on 11
tniUkm acres in Libya and widespread develop
ments in this country, including Oil reserves of
an estimated billion barrels under Montana.
pY THE TIME HUNT moved to Dallas in 1938,
D Hunt Oil Co. was what it would remain, the
largest independent |>etn>lcum producer in the
world During World War II. Hunt held more oil
reserves than all the \xis nations put together
Bight after the war. when a strike closed the
Eastern coal mines during the winter of 1M6. Hunt
su; plied 85 per cent of the natural gas put through
to the area from the Southwest to relieve the fuel
shortage
Hum at hLs death owned ranch land worth 8200
million, timberland. canning factories, citrus gro-
ves. some of the largest pecan fauna in America,
food processing plants, drug manufacturing labora-
tories \nd his tremendous oil fortune was tabulated
BEFORE the increased hike in oil profits since the
energy crisis developed'
It is said that Hunt was an alchemist under
whose hand everything turned either to gold or
to controversy.
The controversy stemmed from the fact that
Hunt, in addition to being very probably the richest
man in America, was probably Ihe country's most
powerful propagandist for the extreme H.ght. The
main vehicle for his btand of conservatism was
lufe Lme. originating in Washington and heard over
331 stations, among which were 25 per cent of
tnc nation's dear channel cutlets.
|N THE WEEKS immediately preceding the as*as-
I sinat ion of Pre.-.idenl Kennedy, the commenta-
tors of Life fine were daily warning (heir listeners
that Kennedy's tyrannical administration was by-
passing the laws of Congress, following a line order-
ed bv Moscow, suppres-xng the chief spokesmen
for freedom in the land and fo.x-ing American tax-
payers to subsidize communism around the world.
It was a time. Life Line insisted, that cried
out for “extreme patriotism." and by a ghoulish
coincidence, the program broadcast in the Dallas
area on the morning of the assassination prophesied
a day when American citizens would no longer
be allowed to own firearms with which to gun
down their rulers. .. . _
If* is no wonder that some members of Ihe
Far Right believed that one of their members had
shot Kennedy !
f^N THE MORNING of the assassination, the
infamous black - inn tiered advertisement j|i-
peared in the Dallas Morning News in which a
number of churlish questions were addressed to
the President.
The ad denounced JFK as having "scrapped
the Monroe Doctrine in favor of the 'spirit of Mos-
cow' and having obla'..eci support lrom ihe Com
inunut Party."
When t h e Iic.Ki.ciit saw it, he reportedly
remarked to Ins wile, "We re really in nut country
now.”
According to L.e Warren Commission rs.wrt,
Bunker Hunt c muri'oujeti Si,485 to this ad a the
Dallas Morning New*. The commission report also
revealed that Jack Ruby on Nov 21. 1963. drove
to the office of Lamar Hunt, son of II. L.
Books have been written on Hunt's association
with Wayne Poucher of Life Line. Dean da re nee
Manion of Facts Forum, Dan Smoot, and other
Far Right activities which reportedly had a listen-
ing audience greater than that which heard "Amos
'n Andy" at their prime. , .all financed by Hunt
Although these programs were strictly political
in objective. Hunt attempted and was successful
in using their cost as tax deductions which helped
enable the richest man in America to pay no in-
come taxes some years. Life Line Foundation. Inc ,
owned by Hunt, was tax exempt.
■ AMES DOBBS, Life Line commentator, was so
W# sure tli it one of the Far Right killed Kennedy
that when he Lenrd tv news he burst ime teats
and said ::e would have nothin.; to do with minder!
.All his ad:.!t life. Hunt .v is a gambler. Well
known to Dallas Police of the 1940s was the room
on the floor beneath Hunt's office where two eni
ployees kept tabs on all major tracks via a straight
line to Western Un:»n They placed bets en every
race of conseqiK nee and la-pt up to date a lace
horse bloodline libnry filling several eah.nets.
His bets on Southwest Conference football ga-
mes were sta,;g'!i in’. A friend who is not much
poorer than Punt recall seeing Hunt be! $500,000
on one game!
More of r.is interest in collegiate foot bull
might be on record if Hunt had not come ctown
with a throat infection — which prevented his tra-
veling — just after the 'J. s. District Attorney
subpoenaed him to tell what !■ * knew about a T< rre
Haute gambling syndicate that reaped $3.5 million
in ten autumn weeks bv appealing to rich men
with its $1,000 bet minimum.
WJkfHY DID HUNT, possibly more than any Tex-
WW an in history, irouse so much hitler edi-
torial animosity'’ What is there about Hunt which
prompted one Dallas editor to say coldly, “If he
had more flair and imagination, if lie weren’t basic-
ally such a damned hick. Hunt could be one of
the most dangerous men in America.”
With an income of $200,000 a day, through tax
loopholes he managed to pay little if any taxes.
As Jack Anderson said, although as a Mormon,
he opiiosed w elfare, si ill if it w as to be made
available he’d rather it go to the aged living on
dog food the fourth week of eacn month than to
the likes of If. L. Hunt.
And th3t $200,000 a day income was based on
pre-cneigy crisis oil prices'
Since the late 1940s. Hunt fancied himself in
the role of king maker and as a shaper of national
policy. He first became real keen on profit-politics
when, like other big oil men. he got the scent
of underwater oil lands. His first choice as the
man who could be counted on to see fiat those
lands were placed in the proper hands wa.; General
MacArthur whom he undertook to put hi the White
House.
By Hunt's own account, he personally arranged
a meeting of MacArthur, Gen Lucius Clay, ex-
Piesident Herbert Hoover and bvveght Eisenhower
in the Waldorf-Astoria before the 1952 GOP conven-
tion. The idea was to get Eisenhower to throw
his support behind MacArthur. Ike refused.
AT THE CHICAGO convention, to which Hunt
was a delegate, he continued to press his
campaign. His first efforts at kmg making failed,
and the results were just as shocking as he had
fe<ared. When he bid $17 an acre on off'-Imre nil
tracts that the government was accustomed to leas-
ing for an average of $408 an acre, Secretary of
the Interior Seaton turned him down — even though
Republican leaders Dtricsen and Halleck accompan-
ied Hunt to a protest interview with Seaton.
When the tidclamts were transferred to state
jurisdiction. Hunt rot a more sympathetic hearing.
Not only had he been a supporter of Governor
Allan Shivers, the bane of all Texas liberals, but
Shivers was on the board of advisers of Hunt’s
