Rocket* Fell Herd to Trojan*, 26-8
Last Friday night in Robinson, the Trojans once more used a
ground attack as its main weapon, but also added a field goal and
pass for more points. West won its fourth 22-AA game while
eliminating the Rockets at 2-2 while 6-3 for the season under Coach
Bobby Stuart. Late in the second period, in fact as the clock showed
nothing but zeroes, QB Bill Hannes hit halfback Peter “Buzz"
Hardin on a 17-yd. pass and Hardin used a tight wire act along the
sidelines to get in, and with Reggie Vonner running the
conversation, it was 11-0. In the same second stanza Johnny
Hutyra hit true on a 33-yd. field goal. With 6:02 left in the third
quarter Vonner ended a 44-yd. drive in 9 plays on a 5-yd. sprint.
Hannes tacked on the extra points for a confortable 19-0 lead.
Tommy Bartosh got the final TD early in the fourth period on a
2-yd. run set up on a Vonner interception. It took only 3 plays to go
22 yds. and Hutyra kicked the final point. Only 37 seconds was left
when Mark Kav concluded a 56-yd. march in 11 plays by getting a
tough 1-yd. Kay ran the conversion also. Senior linebacker Joe
Ballew for the second straight week was top tackier with 13. Junior
tackle Vernon Holder had another fine night with 12. Seniors Mike
Otto and John Miller added 9. Senior Graylyne Griffin performed
well after an injury in the Groesbeck game recently, and came up
with 8 tackles. Bartosh had 7 more while Dwane Deiterman came
up with some good plays, including a saving TD tackle. Punter
Mike Morrison. Blaine Busby, Andy Skinner and many others
contributed to victory No. 9. While there is not enough room to
name them all. center Lloyd Culp needs mentioning for snapping
the ball field goals, punts, and extra points. West racked up 18 first
downs on 260 yds. rushing with senior fullback Bartosh having 89
yds. on 17 carries. Vonner had 67 on 13, Hannes 62 on 12, and
Hardin 42 on 6 totes. West did not lose a fumble, while there was
one pass that went into enemy hands. QB Tim Harkins saw some
action the second half. Hannes had battled the flu, along with
several others all week, but that didn't slow the Wind-T Express
down. Robinson had only 57 total yards at halftime and ended up
with 185 rushing and 9 passing.
The Trojans have allowed only one TD per game. The one for the
Rockets came as the result of a Robinson punt and Trojan clip.
After the yardage was stepped off against the locals however,
West didn't get the ball. The officials wouldn't explain their
judgement call to Coach Carlile either. In a close game it could
have been costly, but most of the night things went
WESTward...because the "Red Machine" made it go that way
again.
JV k Jr. Lose While Mustang* Tie
It was a rough night Thursday, Nov. 4th as the Trojan JV football
team lost their second straight game by a shutout. Robinson, 22AA
leader at 4-0. gave West (2-2) a 14-0 whitewash. The 8th graders
also were beaten 26-6 with Kenneth Brown going 10-yds. for a
fourth quarter West TD. Both teams will be playing their final
games of the season this Thursday. The 8th grades of West and
McGregor will play in the new Bulldog Stadium at 6 p.m. while the
JVs battle at 7:30. St. Mary’s Mustangs (5-2-1) went to Waco to
play Reicher and they ended in a scoreless deadlock. The final
Mustang game of 1976 will be played on Trojan Field Sat., Nov.
13th against Dallas St. Pius. Kick off is 7 p.m.
Baylor Takes Title Here
Baylor. West Jr. High's Flag-a-Tag team, is the 1976 champion
with a 5-1 record while the other team from the same school (Tech)
is runner-up at 4-2. St. Mary's Quarterback Club sponsored this
event for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, and their two teams, texas and
T.C.U. had 3-3 and 0-6 marks respectively. Last Monday Tech
blanked luckless T.C.U 8-0 on a 70-yd. run by Pat Stewart followed
by a pass for conversion from Kevin Martin to Stewart. Baylor,
coached by Dick and Cliff Pettit, took the title in the last game with
a 21-12 victory over Texas. Mikke Ashley. Jerry Don McCoy, Ken
Chudej, Pat Sykora, Clyde Lehmann, and Jimmy Holecek put
points on the scoreboard with Chudej and Sykora being on the
loser's team. Regardless of the record, all of the boys gave their
best.
Fan* Met The Trojanette* Sat.
Last Saturday a nice crowd, including many of the parents of the
1976 Trotanettes, were at the WHS gym. They met new coach Mike
Busby, saw a basketball scrimmage between the varsity and JV
were able to meet the athletes thru an introduction by coach
Busby, and enjoy refreshments. Coach Busby reported that the
girls are working hard with a lot of desire to have a winning season,
and he encouraged the fans to support the Trojanettes as much as
possible. The first games not far off. On Nov. 15th the two teams
go to Aquilla and return home to play Mart the next night. The
Aquilla "B” Tournament will be held Nov. 18-20 while two games
will be played against powerhouse Midway (there) on the 22nd.
There will not be another home game until Aquilla returns for a
second meeting on the 29h.
(The boys will be starting basketball poractice after the football
season is over. The first two games on Nov. 16 and 19 with Mart is
doubtful since Man won the football title and West is shooting for
one James Smetak will coach the varsity team this season.);
Area Coache* on Radio Each Week;
Trojan* Make the New*
Every Thursday and Friday during the football season, area
football coaches can be heard over KKIK (1010) from the
Waco-Marlin station. Coach Carlile usually is heard between 4:40
and 4:50 p.m. on Fridays. He will be talking about the Rocket win
and the upcoming McGregor game this week. Several Trojans have
drawn recognition thru the Waco paper for their accomplishments
this season. Mike Lyons had a fine report on QB Bill Hannes and
the victory over Robinson. He plans to cover the Bulldog-Trojan
showdown Friday also.

W. Gardiner EUla, Paator
The Leroy and
The Blrome Church
Greetings from the Leroy and
Birome part of God's country. I
came through here in the cold
of 1937 and by God’s grace
have been here ever since. I
have breathed the air from one
side to the other, and have
driven the muddy side roads to
visit the sick. This part of the
world belongs to many people,
but. because of my trust in God,
I feel it is mine to serve.
In the past I have preached
from behind the pipes of a
pot-bellied stove and the
message has not changed. It is
the old story; love and obey
God When this is done we find
no problem at all to respect
people of all walks of life.
In the 30’s the farmers,
merchants and men of the cloth
were very poor. Now, most
have central air and reclining
chairs. The people that read
this paper have come a long
way. The people of this area,
with others, must count our
blessings and give God the
creator credit for it all.
Every leaf, every breath of
air, our bodies and souls belong
to God, and if we are to keep
them we must share all we have
and thank God for the privilege
to do so. Yes, God decided that
his creation was very good,
even the part we live in. We see
many problems; we find for
ourselves that our portion is
very poor sometimes.
Only the unborn go without
sin, sickness and sorrows. We
that are here have one choice:
to take everything as it comes.
It is not the number of times we
fall down, but how we take the
tumble that counts. One small
bruise seems to hinder some for
life, while others take many
punishments from the world
every day.
Our Bible does not promise
life without thorns and black
clouds. When God saw that
man would not obey his first
command, He spent His Son to
pay for the sins of all mankind.
Now God's world is very
imperfect if man lives without
God.
If man lives with God the
imperfect things become a part
of the game of life and we take
them with assurance that the
Savior, Jesus Christ, will take
us to a great home in Heaven to
be free from the problems man
brought to pass in God's world
that was so pure to start with.
We are renters, at best, but
things are much better than
they seem to be.
The Good Creation became
imperfect with sin on man's
part, but with faith in God we
can make the goal.
Mrs. Mittie Gregory, Age 101,
Dies Wednesday In Whitney
Mrs. Mittie Gregory, 101, of
Whitney died Wednesday mor-
ning in a Whitney hospital.
Services were held at 2 p.m.
Friday in the Marshall and
Marshall Chapel in Whitney,
Rev. Stan Jordan officiating.
Burial followed in Prairie Grove
Cemetery near Aquilla.
Mrs. Gregory was born Oct.
14, 1875, in Alabama. Her
family moved to Texas when
she was 3 years old, locating
near Aquilla Creek in McLen-
nan County. She lived in Hill
County in the Aquilla area most
of her life. She married Hiram
Gregory in 1891. He died in
1947. i ,1
Mrs. Gregory was a Baptist.
Survivors include four daug-
hters, Mrs. Mindia Watts of
Waco, Mrs. Jack Harris of
West, Mrs. W. T. Horn and
Mrs. J. W. Glenn, both of
Aquilla; two sons, L. E.
Gregory of Waco and R. D.
Gregory of Aquilla; 20 grand-
children; 36 great-grandchild-
ren; and 16 great-great-grand
children.

With our connections,
we can supply all the
gas you’ll need.
Lone Star’s existing gas reserves will meet the requirements of all
of our customers for the next 12 V2 years, based on 1975
consumption rates.
What about the thirteenth year - and beyond - when these
reserves are depleted?
Fortunately, Lone Star is in a position to buy new gas reserves
that could last our customers far into the 21st century.
We’re in the right place at the right time. And we have all
of the right connections.
Lone Star’s pipeline system
enters eight of the nine major
gas producing areas in Texas and
Oklahoma.
Our transmission lines cross areas
which contain over 50% of the
remaining on-shore gas reserves in
the continental U.S.
This strong network
puts Lone Star in one of the
most favorable buying positions
of any natural gas company.
All we need is the money to buy ahead.
The price of gas will keep increasing, because
producers will have to drill much deeper and
more costly wells to develop new reserves.
It’s going to take a lot of money to secure this area’s share
of these reserves. Unfortunately, Lone Star’s ability to bid
successfully for new reserves hinges greatly on the existence of
adequate rates for the gas we sell.
The time to begin an aggressive resupply program is now,
while we have a competitive buying edge and while economical gas
is available.
With a fair return on our necessary investment, we can make
the long-term financial commitments that will assure our customers
all the natural gas they’ll need for decades to come.
And we will.
