Cowboy Makes Comeback;
Ken Stanton Rides Again
Uex&oc>cxaq&e>caoc>e>c>ooc>ex30oesc>aoooo
Ken Stanton, one of the top
bareback and bull riders in
rodeo history, has made a
comeback in the sport three
years after doctors nearly
amputated his right leg when
gangrene threatened to set in.
Stanton, of Weiser, Ida., won
first in bull riding at the Pen-
dleton Roundup rodeo in Oregon
over the weekend, winning
$1,350. He placed in the
openinng go-round and took
first in the finals with an 81-
point ride to cinch first in the
average payoff.
The 32-year-old cowboy
The Continental Congress
prescribed the army’s ration of
food in 1775. “Resolved, that a
ration consist of the following
kind and quantity of provisions:
one pound beef, or three-
quarters pound pork or one
pound salt fish, per day; one
pound bread or flour, per day;
three pints of peas or beans per
week, or vegetables equivalent,
and $1 per bushel for peas or
beans; one pint of milk, per
man per day ; one-half-pint of
rice, or one-pint of Indian meal,
per man per week; one quart of
spruce beer or cider per man
per day, or nine gallons of
molasses, per company of 100
men per week; three pounds
candles to 100 men per week,
for guards; 24 pounds soft, or
eight pounds hard soap, for 100
men per week,” The World
Almanac recalls.
competed full-time during the
Sixties, and qualified for the
National Finals Rodeo in both
his events from 1964 through
1967. His last Finals appearance
was in 1970, when he was among
the: nation’s top 15 bull riders.
Two years later, while at the
Albuquerque, N.M., rodeo in
September, he discovered his
right leg had virtually no cir-
culation and was beginning to
hurt. Doctors considered am-
putating the limb, which had
been injured repeatedly over
the years. Stanton was forced
to quit rodeo, and doctors told
him he might be able to keep the
leg if it weren’t injured again
“They still tell me that, but
the leg has gotten better,” he
said. “I’ve got a special padded
boot and other padding for the
leg, and so far it hasn’t been
hurt.”
Pendleton was the seventh
rodeo he has entered this
summer and his first big win
since resuming competition.
Stanton said he plans to enter
the big winter rodeos in 1976,
including those in Denver, Fort
Worth, San Antonio and
Houston, Texas.
Other Pendleton winners
include Bill Pauley of Miley
City, Mont., $1,465 in saddle
bronc; Scotty Platts of
Lyman, Wyo., $1,570 in
bareback riding; Bob Ragsdale
of Chowchilla, Calif., $1,438 in
calf roping; Dan Torricellas of
Eugene, Ore., $1,240 in steer
wrestling; and James Allen of
Santa Anna, Texas, $2,223 in
steer roping.
The Professional Rodeo
Cowboys Association also an-
nounced leaders this week for
the Second Half of the $135,000
Winston Rodeo Awards
(Winston and world champion
standings follow).
Lions
Lines
by KENT WEAR
All the preparation has ended
and now it is down to the nitty
gritty. The Lions are ready for
the Panthers says Coach Don
Essary.
In Wednesday’s Waco paper
they spoke of the sugar sweet
for the Panthers. It may take a
little sugar to make the
medicine go down, but it will
take a lot more to make a
maroon clad Lion go down.
However, I should say maroon
clad Lions because this week
the Lions will be dressed white
with maroon trim and
headgear.
The Panthers were penalized
124 yards last week. It takes a
high geared offense to over-
come that much yardage. The
Lions will be stalking and ready
to pounce on the slightest error.
In Thursday night football
action the Marron 9th grade
team overcame a game opening
65 yard pass play for a TD for
Paschal and came back to
beat Paschal 14-6 in Ft. Worth
In game one at Lion Field the
maroon eighth grade team
blasted the 9th white team 34-0
and in the JV’s debut before the
home folk, they responded with
a 63-6 blast of the Waco
University High Trojans’ JV.
After two weeks of picking
winners the old chrystal ball
has thrown me a few curves and
the upset bug has really let out
early this year but we will go
out on a limb once again.
Out on a Limb
1. Ennis-Midway - The Lions
will get it all together against
the Panthers and will win
handily 31-12.
2. Jeff.-Moore-DeSota - Even
playing in Waco will not be
enough for Jeff Moore -- The
Eagles by 13 -- 20-7.
3. Mexia-Connally - The
Blackcats may be a team to be
reckoned with and the Cats will
edge the Cadets by 5 -- 18-13.
4. Lancaster - LaVega - The
Bucs will make the Tigers walk
the plank in a cake walk. The
Buccaneers by 22 -- 28-6.
5. Waxahachie-Marlin - The
Dogs have to much speed for the
Tribe even on the reservation.
The Dogs by 13 - 26-13.
6. Navarro -Wharton -
Wharton will hand Navarro its
3rd straight loss by 5 -- 18-13.
7. Dallas-LA - Cowboy Tom
and his Dude Wranglers sur-
prised the Steelers but the
running back corp has been
reduced to two healthy back. If
played the Rams by 7 -- 24-17.
8. Arkansas-Oklahoma State -
Both teams opened with big
wins but the Hogs will down O.
State by 10 -- 24-14.
9. Baylor-Auburn - The Bears
had a big and costly win over
Ole Miss in their opener and
were off last week. The Auburn
Tigers were ambushed by the
Memphis State Tigers 31-20
after being behind 24-zip at half.
Bubba Hicks toe will be the
difference in the game. The
Bruins by 3 - 17-14.
10. Texas A&M-L.S.U. - The
Bengal Tigers were edged by
Nebraska at Lincoln 10-7 which
is no disgrace. The cornhuskers
don’t loose at Lincoln. There is
more Red there than in Lenin
Square. The Aggies struggled
against Ole Miss. The Tigers
will avenge last years loss by 10
- 20-10.

9th Maroon Overcomes Paschal
Barbs
The Maroon 9th grade
journeyed to Cow Town last
evening and returned with a 14-6
victory. The young Lions found
themselves down 6-0 after only
one play from scrimmage. On
the opening play Paschal
connected for 65 yard TD pass
and run play. After this, initial
burst of glory Ennis completely
shut Paschal down. Even with
the big opening play Paschal
still managed less than 100
yards total offense.

There’s nothing like a little
peace in the Middle East to give
one time for reflection on just
when the balloon will go up
again.
That isn’t the call of the wild
geese you hear — it’s the honk-
ing of politicians winging home
for the November elections.
Brent' Bennett and Breirt
Anderson paced the Lions to
victory. Bennett had 90 yards
rushing, 35 of it coming on a TD
run. Anderson had 60 yards
rushing and one TD and a 2
point PAT.

There is no difference

used a potent ground game to

coasted the rest of the way to a
