Dr. Witcher's
The turtor I’ll verst? foot-
football oner of Clifton* Dr.
S L. Witcher ns recalled by
Lance is the Thursday,
Oct 6, Waco Tribauae Herald.
Columnist Lance wrote in
part:
Dr. S. L. Witcher is highly
respected as a physician and
citizen in Clifton. Forty-seven
years ago football opponents
respected him as a double-
tough, full-time tackle and
gaurd on the Bayfay Bear foot-
ball team They knew him as
Puny then although he was
anything but He got the nick-
name because be was 200
pounds of perfect physical
specimen who didn't mi« a
game because of injuries in
three years.
Puny’s prowess has earned
him a nomination for the Bay-
lor Athletic Hall oi Fame,
where he should have been
long ago. Botchery Koch was
All-American guard in 1830.
Those who played Witcher
said he would have been one
too’if he had not been on the
same twin
Waco Tribune-Herald sports
writer Jinx Tucker said this
about Witcher in selecting
Puny All-Conference guard:
“Weighing 200 pounds, power-
ful and rangy. Witcher is of
opposite type to Koch. He is
not nearly as flashy,, but had
he not been on the same team
with Koch, he may have been
recognized as the outstanding
linemen in the conefrente A
great all-around lineman is
Puny Witcher, and a great
student. He ranks even higher
as a student than as a football
player. He will not be given
the credit he deserves but
we’ll say right here that after
you have named Blanton and
Koch you will have to name
Witcher when speaking of the
great linemen of the confer-
ence for the season of 1830,’’
Ox Blanton was tackle on the
Texas team which defeated
Baylor for the SWC champion-
ship, 14-0 at Carrol Field.
Jake Wilson, quarterback,
SWC most valuable player and
all-everything, said: “He never
missed a minute and always
came in from practice frisky
as a Shetland pony while the
rest of us were dragging. He
never got mad or never said
much. In the Arkansas game
he came into the huddle and
told me, “Run this next play
1 over me 1 asked, “What’s the
;,nutter? Puny said, “The--
bit roe ' He was sharp as a
whip. Every week Coach Mor-
ley Jennings would read the
grades so we would know who
was eligible to play. He always
skipped Puny’s name, saying.
‘He made two A pluses and an
A.’
“He was in there every play.
They didn’t push him around
and you could depend on him
every minute.”
Red Harris, another team-
mate, said: “Nobody could
have wanted to play with a
finer fellow. He was a strong,
quiet man.”
Fort Worth Star Telegram
sports editor Flem Hall wrote
this about Witcher on the day
before the 1830 game with
TCU: “Witcher was named
All-Conference guard last sea-
son when he carried in sensa-
tional fashion after Koch suf-
fered repeated injuries that
kept him from top form. This
year Witcher is playing tackle
and doing a fine job at that
position.”
Witcher also lettered in
basketball and track. He is
partner with Dr. V. D. Goodall
in Goodall-Witcher Hospital
at Clifton. Both married Waco
girls, Sue Goodall and Valorie
Shaw.

Mrs. Sissie Haiti age. daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Veroon
Howard, formerly of Clifton,
was the subject of a recent
feature story on page one of
The Rosenberg Ilerald-Coasl-
er Mrs H.rtiage is the man-
ager of the Fort Bent County
Fair
Mrs H aril age w as born in
Boling She moved tc Rosen-
berg with the Howards when
sbe was about a year old.
Her father wa< a rodeo man
in his time off from Duval
Sulphur Company, according
to Jacqueline Wilke's story in
the Rosenberg newspaper
The Howards were also in
the antique business. Mrs
Hartiage has retained an in-
terest in that field
Mrs Harilages daughter,
Mrs Robin McKee, recently-
had a son. Matthew Anderson
McKee. Mrs. Harilage s other
two children are Carson, 21,
and Mike, who will be 17.
The $1,000,000 fair facility,
south of Rosenberg on State
Highway 36. is m use almost
constantly year round.
The Wilke story continued
in part:
“We book wedding recep-
tions. dances, rodeos, dog and
cat shows, any kind of
meeting." Stsste said The
dog show that was here last
weekend has been booked
through lKl ”
The Annual Czech Festival is
also held at the fairgrounds
“The Czech Fest will be bigger
this year, with more emphasis
mi children's activities,'’ sbe
added.
Susie started working at the
County Fair about 1» years ago
as a part time employee
“That was when the fair was at
the old location, where the K
Mart store is now and Noel
Yarlmg was manager.
I worked everj_ vear after
that eventually going into a full
time job About nine years
ago when James L. Boooe
retired as manager. I was the
choice to replace him." she
said.
Nevertheless. Sissie is one of
only four women in the state
who manages county fairs.

"Brazoria County just hired a
woman to run their fair, but
she's called an executive
secretory," Sissie said
Thee wee about 70.000
visitors to the Fort Bend
County Fair last year “This
year an extra day has been
•tided to the Fair," said Susie
"We open on Sept a and nr
through Sunday. Oct 2."
Sissie proudly pointed out
that the 80 acre plant is
designed so that more
bukhngs can be added without
creating problems "I don’t
think we’ll ever finish
building.' she said
She added that the Fort Bend
facility has been inspected bv
numerous otner counties. “i m
always getting inquiries about
<V setup." sbe said
Sissie and all other fail
managers in Texas belong/o
the Texas Association and
Fairs and Expositions Sissie is
vice president of the group and
will become president in
January, 197*
"This year’s president, who
is manager of the State Fair m
Dallas, is trying to get the
World's Fair to Texas." she
said "As a matter of fact, be
flew to Paris last week to talk
•bout the possibility ”
In our modern world of space
stations, weather satellites,
instant cameras and instant
replays, the Comfy Fair is
flourishing. “Our entries
double nearly every year, as
does our attendance." Sissie
said. 'The Couity Fair is not a
thing of the past ”
Most county fairs have
retained the old time flavor but
developed new problems To
cope with those problems, the
boss must be a person of quick
wit, the better to deal with
angry lawyers. A ready smile
and loads of charm, the better
to deal with upset exibi tore and
parents. Deft hands, the better
to deal with lost dental filling!
and faulty icemaking
machines in the board room
A little dexterity doesn’t hurt
as well, explained Sissie’s
muffled voice from the innards
of the ice maker.
