28th points late in their fourth
quarter when Halfback Fields
went in from the three yard
line
Coach Millet's charges find
themselves with a badly
needed open date this Friday
which will be utilized in
working on plays and con-
centrating on passing. Also,
this pause will give the
Greyhounds a chance to lick
their wounds in time to he back

7th Grade Roll*
Over Warriors
The Taft Pup6 used two
fourth quarter scores to win
their fourth game of the year
Thursday, as the Pups
defeated Tuloso-Midway 16-0
Misfortune seemed to be with
the Pups throughout the first
three quarters as the Pupa lost
three fumbles, had two passes
intercepted, and a penalty
nullified a first period score.
However, the Pups never gave
up as they continued to play
strong defense and then uaed a
fumble recovery to set up their
first score
*Yhe Pup defense again
played an outstanding game as
Tutaeo-Midway could manage
only five first downs The Pups
also recovered a fumble and
intercepted a pass. David
Lozano, playing his finest all-
around game of the year, made
the fumble recovery and
Johnny Mfuentes made the
pass interception to stop the
last hopes of (.be Warriors.
The Pup defensive unit gave
a beautiful team effort as Louis
Villalobos led ail tackier: with
3. followed by Jimmy Mon
femayor and Lozano with 8;
Sifuentes, Lolo Hernandez, and
Gabriel 'Castillo. 7each; Monte
Fioerke 6, and 5 each for David
Tijerina. Ben Cortez, and Gary
Baker 'Lozano had 4 tackles for
losses and Fioerke and Bakes-
had 3 each. Ten different boys
had tackles for losses a* the
defense penetrated «ll.
Offensively, the Pupa did a
fine job except for the
mistakes. They made 13 lint
downs ss they rushed tor arc?
yards and passed far 34 yards

turn of
rushers with 92 yards in 18
carries. while Fioerke had 8
carries for 66 yards and
Hernandez II tries for 44 yards
Fioerke completed only 4
passes in 16 tries for 34 yards,
but two completions kept
drives going Lozano had 2
receptions for 22 yards, Xavier
Gonzales 1 for 8, and Johnny
Carvajal, 1 for 4 yards
The Pups kicked off to open
the game and the Warriors
returned to midfield. After
moving the bail for 3 first
first downs, the Pups held fo
downs on their own 17 yard
line The Pups couldn't move
and punted
Tuloso Midway couldn’t
move against a strong defense
and they punted. The Pups
moved the ball 48 yards before
a fumble stopped the drive
The fumble came on the eighth
play of the drive.
A short Warrior pun* gave
the Pups the halt on the
Warrior 42. Villalobos gained
18 yards in four straight
carries .and then a pass fell
incomplete. On fourth and 3,
Gonzales followed beautiful
blocking by Oscar Lopez,
Montemayor and Lozano to
scamper 24 yards for a touch-
down, but the play was
nullified on a 15-yard holding
penalty
On the next two possessions
the Pups hwi the bail both
times on interceptions The
Warriors managed only one
first down the second quarter
and the .half ended ir> a 0-0 tic.
The Pups couldn’t find the
offensive punch the third
quarter as they punted twice
and lost the ball on a fumble
once. However. Tuloso-
Midway couldn't move either
m they only managed one first
down *;•>.
Near the end of the third
quarter, the Pup* took a punt
on their own 25 and started a
13-play drive which was
stopped by a fumble at the
Warrior 27 The series had
covered 4* yard*,
^ big hit fey MoflUencayor and
Hernandez, however, forced
Tufato-Afidway to cough up She
bail and Lozano fell on it on the
Warrior 28. The Pupa were not
to be dented as Villalobos got
iz, Gonaaie* 7. Hernandez 5,
and Hernandez capped the
drive from the 5 between Baker
and Lopez. Fioerke hit laizano
The Taft Greyhound 7th
grade team rolled over the
Tuloso-Midway Warriors with
a 12-0 victory Thursday night
at Greyhound Stadium Johnny
Narvaez went over the line for
both touchdowns Ben Azios is
the coach of the team.
The team has an open date
this Thursday but will return

in Greyhound Stadium
cents per $100 on assessed
value This would add up to
somewhere between 15 cents
and 26 cents per acre on
cultivated farm land
Commercial and Industrial
properties will have to carry
the heaviest load of 61 43 per
cent, however the Board stated
that with the improvements in
drainage, both Residential and
Industrial areas will increase1
the tax base with a decrease in
the total tax burden.
The tax. due to the time lag
between now and when con-
struction begins and the bonds
sold, will be less during the
next five years since it will not
be necessary to levy more than
!0 or 12 cents of the main-
tenance tax during the plan-
ning and construction phase.
Hart explained that “it could
be as much as 6 to 8 years
before the maximum tax is
levied "
However if there are no
bonds “we would undoubtedly
start with the 35 cents
maximum to provide funds for
improvements " He also points
out that the 35 cents tax ap-
proved at the recent election is
a "limitation and not a rate."
Engineers estimate that upon
completion the tax required
would be about to cents

Harper noted that the power
plant site is about ten times as
large as for most other CPL
power plants. More than half of
the tract will be devoted to a
reservoir which will be used to
cool discharge waters from the
power plant.
The pond will have a depth of
six feet with a surface area of
1,100 acres. An earthen dike ten
feet in height will be built to
create the lake.
“At the present time, we are
testing different, types of
materials that could be- utilized
in the construction of the
dike," said Harper
The power station has been
named for CPL President
Barney M Davis, and w ill have
an initial capability of 325.000
kilowatts It is expected to
begin operation in early 1974
Harper said that the com
panv plans to establish a
manculture research center in
connection with a major
university at the power plant to
continue studying the effects of
warm water on marine life
Also under consideration, he
said, are plans for a park to be
developed on the power plant
site Approximately 200 acres
have been set aside to the park
area.
The new CPI plan! will have
a permanent operating force of
about 40 employees, in ad-
dition more than 300 workers
will be employed at the plant
when construction activity
reaches a peck in frud-J3?3.

Fall is putting a chill in the
air. Tim#- for heaters and time
for caution because of an
odorless, colorless, tasteless
gas called carbon monoxide
TTiis gas can lull a person into
unconsciousness before the
victim knows he’s in trouble
"Each year in this country
nearly 10,000 persons suffer
carbon monoxide poisoning,'
says Texas Health Com-
missioner Dr James E Heavy.
"Nearly all require medical
care or hospitalization. Each
year about 1,400 persons die as
a direct result of this, deadly
gas In 1970. some 30 Texans
died from carbon monoxide
poisoning."
About 70 percent nf the
deaths occur in the home. Most
deaths occur in (he winter
months when the hazards are
greatest due to the use of
heating devices and fuel
burning equipment, in recent
years, however many deaths
have occurred during the
summer, because of the in-
creased use of air conditioning
air return system* which may
