Summer Rec
Program To
Include Tennis
Waymond Griggs announced
Friday that summer track and
field events, a part of the
Summer Recreation Program,
will get under way June 5.
The program is designed to
give interested boys and girls
an opportunity to have fun and
to win some ribbons. The Ker-
mit boys won a total of 63 rib-
bons at the Jal track meet.
Griggs said the program will
not interfere with summer va-
cations or baseball practice. It
will also give the boys interest-
ed in football an opportunity to
report for fall practice in fine
physical condition.
MEET SCHEDULE
June 10—Andrews
June 17—Brownfield
June 25—Hobbs, N.M,
July 1—Kermit
July 8—Jal, N.M.
Pony League To Open
Tuesday Night
The 1967 Kermit Pony League season will get off
to a flying start Tuesday, with two games the opening
night.
In the curtain-raiser, the Bankers take on Spruill's
and Handlin clashes with First National in the night-
cap. First game will get underway at 7 p.m, with the
second scheduled for 8:40 p.m.
Opening night ceremonies will get underway at 6:30
p.m.
All games will be played at Yellow Jacket Field.
Dry Spell Hits
Bobs In Westex
SAN ANGELO — Persistent
dry weather during the early
months of 1967 has hindered
quail production in much of
West Texas, according to the
Texas Parks and Wildlife De-
partment.
Bobwhite quail that survive
winter rigors gain nesting sea-
son strength by foraging on
minute green plants emerging
after spring rains.
The Department noted in
areas lacking moisture that
bobwhite hens search for food
instead of nesting.
Recent rainfall in some areas
is expected to enable the dog-
ged little game birds to launch
into reproduction activity.
Meanwhile, mourning doves
have been nesting on schedule
since they are capable of fly-
ing many miles daily to feed
grounds where rainfall has oc-
curred and rations are more
abundant.

Many Improvements At

He said that the sessions will

TO GET THAT RAWHIDE SHOE-
LACE INTO THE EVE EASIER,
BURN THE TIPS OF THE SHOE-
LACE.
A renovated infield and the
development of the spectacular
All-American Club are Just two
of the many new features visi-
tors to Ruidoso Downs will note
this summer.
As the track begins its 21st
thoroughbred racing, much
work, mostly behind the scenes,
has been done for the comfort
and viewing pleasure of the
fans.
The All American Club, lo-
cated on the grandstand roof,
was not completely finished
by opening day but will still
be open to the public who will
find it as modern as any turf
club anywhere.
Not only is the All American
Club, which replaced the old-
er and smaller press club,
comfort deluxe but it gives fans
a perfect view of all races un-
der cover. Concessions are
handled by Knox Concessions
of Dallas. Admission to the
Club is just $2 and more than
400 can be accommodated.
“The improvements we're
making this year are the great-
est ever made in the 21 years
Ruidoso Downs has been in op-
eration,’’ General Manager Tex
Barron proudly stated after
looking over some of the
changes. “The All American
Club will give Ruidoso Downs
one of the most outstanding
clubs of this type found in the
west.’’
The infield displays are also
of interest to racing fans. Water
fountains will add to the scenic
beauty that is provided by the
infield lakes and colorful land-
scaping.

of a canopy to cover the pre-
viously bare area between the
grandstand and the paddock,
and the remodeling of many
stable area tack rooms are
just a few of the other import-
ant changes at Ruidoso Downs
for the coming season.
The addition of the canopy
now will provide fans with com-
plete cover on rainy days all
the way to the paddock while
the new restrooms will be much
improved over the previous
ones that were suffering from
old age.
As for the running surface,
General Manager Barron is
emphatic that it will be the
finest ever.
“Ruidoso Downs has one of
the fastest and safest tracks
in the country,’* said Barron.
“Our running surface this year
is in the greatest shape ever.’’
This year, fans will watch
the running of three $100,000
races headed, as usual, by the
world’s richest race Sept. 4,
the estimated $450,000 All
American Futurity.

buster who already has callous-
ed jaws from biting down on
dull hooks.
Rusty hooks can be bright-
ened up in many ways . . . even
by rubbing ’em in sand. But
it takes a file or stone to put
the points in first*class shape
and every poletoter ought to
have one or the other in his
tackle box.
BUT REMEMBER . . .
No matter if you do every-
thing exactly right or how skill-
fully you fish there will be
days you’ll get skunked, blanked
and whitewashed . . . days when
a fish won’t open his mouth
for love of bait. I think these
are the days the Good Lord
set aside to insure man would
never learn how to continually
outsmart a fish.
And this is good! For if the
uncertainly of fishing was ever
removed from the sport it would
cease to be a sport. If any of
you anglers could catch a 10
pound bass on every cast it
snake along over the ground.
Won’t work on a slick dance
floor, though — I know from
experience. I turned a lil ’ol
grass snake loose on a dance
floor many years ago. The snake
couldn't get up any forward
motion but he shore turned
a bunch of waltzers into real
jitterbuggers — you’d call ’em
twisters today. Anyway, that
little harmless snake cleared
the joint! ___.
