District 2-AAA Roundup
Yellow Jackets,
" j • Rest
District 2-AAA will have an abbreviated schedule this
week, with the Kermit Yellow Jackets and the Seminole
Indians having open dates. Other teams in the district fight
on, with the Andrews Mustangs seeing action for the first
time, after enjoying their open date during the first week
of action.
Andrews faces Coronado, whiph played to a 7-7 tie
with the Wichita Falls Coyotes last week. The Mustangs
rate right up at the top of the district ladder, and after
Hermit’s 14-24 loss to Hobbs Friday, could be classed
the team to beat.
Monahans and Odessa Ector battled right down to the
wire, with the Loboes getting the decision on a field goal
by Freddie King, from 27; yards out. The game was a de-
fensive scrap all the way. The Loboes travel to Artesia
Friday and could have their work cut out for them.
Fort Stockton entertains El Paso, a team defeated by
Pecos last week. The Panthers are still rebuilding, after
two successive 2-8 seasons. This year doesn’t figure to be
much better, after their 31-0 defeat by AA Crane Friday.
Pecos, with new coach Jerry Millsapps, looks im-
proved over last year and opened with a win over El Paso
last week. The Eagles test AA Alpine, loser to McCamey,
in a home opener.
Seminole, one of the favorites to take the 2-AAA
crown, fell to AA Denver City, 15-7. Both Kermit and
Andrews still must face the powerful Mustangs of Coach
Dan Orr during regular season play.
In other area games Friday, Wink hosts Iraan and
Jal plays at Crane. The Wink Wildcats battled Van Horn
to a 6-6 tie, while Jal was tasting defeat by the Lovington
Wildcats, 19-2.

Crane In 28-12 Win
Over Eighth Grade
BY VIRGIL WELSINGER
The Kermit eighth grade held
Crane to an 8-6 margin during
first quarter action at Crane
Saturday, but finally saw a flurry
of fumbles lead to their down-
fall, and dropped a 28*12 de-
cision.
Coach Travis Underwood said
his team had too many fumbles
and hadn’t made up their minds
to really play ball. However,
he added that his boys will im-

VIL Changes
Ruling On
Eligibility
AUSTIN (AP)—The Uni-
versity Interscholastic
League cleared the way
Friday for high school ath-
letes with eligibility re-
maining to play summer
baseball with athletes who
have accepted college
scholarships.
The UIL’s state execu-
tive committee ruled that
high school graduates who
have “signed letters of in-
tent” for athletic scholar-
ships are not “paid” play-
ers.
“Under this official in-
terpretation,” the commit-
tee said, “pupils with re-
maining high school eligi-
bility participating in sum-
mer baseball programs on
teams with players who
have signed college or uni-
versity ‘letters of intent’
will not be ineligible for
further high school athletic
competition.
“This same rule is ap-
plicable to tennis, golf,
swimming and other ath-
letic activities carried on
under the same circum-
stances.”
The American Legion,
which sponsors an exten-
sive summer baseball pro-
gram, said last month it
would ask the legislature to
investigate the league if it
did not Change its interpre-
tation of the rule.
The ruling, the Legion
said, “severely damaged”
the Legion’s baseball pro-
gram in Texas this sum-
mer and would further
damage it in the future,
prove during the year and should
win some games.
Kermit took the opening kick-
off and returned to their 35. Two
penalties and failure to move
set up a punting situation. Crane
broke through and blocked the
punt and took over on the Kermit
10.
Four plays could gain but three
yards and Kermit took over on
the seven. Crane then picked off
a pass on the 16 and on the next
play completed a toss for a touch-
down. The conversion was good
and Crane led 8-0.
Larry Purcell returned the
kickoff nicely to the Crane 34
and after picking up one first
down, Pat Stidham passed 18
yards to James Christian for
the score. The conversion at-
tempt failed and it was 8-6.
Kermit could not get a sus-
tained drive going in the second
quarter because of fumbles and
Crane took over twice inside the
3 5-yard line. They moved on in
both times to score and led at
halftime, 22-6.
In the third period, Kermit
held their opponents at the 47 and
took over. Underwood’s eleven
drove to the Crane 13, but lost
the ball on downs.
After Crane was forced to
punt, Kermit again started from
the Crane 41. Again they lost the
ball on downs, this time at the
36.
Crane punted to the Kermit 18
and a drive was started which
moved to the Crane 22, where a
fumble killed the push. Another
fumble lost the ball at the 35
after Crane was forced to punt.
The home team put on a march
that finally paid off in the fourth
period to give Crane a 28-6lead.
On the next kickoff, Kermit
started a drive that ended with
Purcell’s 8-yard touchdown run
on the final play of the game.
The eighth grade will play an
intra-squad game Saturday at
10:30 a.m. and will not face
outside competition again until
Oct. 5, when they journey to
Monahans.

So, I didn't do so good. Some
of these teams don't know I'm
back and laven't read my pre-
dictions. Hew can they know they
were supposed to win?
Upsets really dotted the sports
scene last week, and plenty of
folks were surprised. How about
that Seagraves-Eunice game?
Anyway, we have seen how
some of the teams operated and
maybe things will even out this
week. We got three right, missed
three and had a tie, between
Wink and Van Horn.
Here we go again.
CORONADO 14, ANDREWS 7
—Coronado has a tie with tough
Wichita Falls, while the Mus-
tangs are unproven after having
an open date last week. Andrews
could surprise.
ARTESIA 19, MONAHANS 14
—Artesia blasted El Paso Bur-
gess 41-0 last week, while the
Loboes eked out a 3*0 win over
Ector. It's hard to classify a
New Mexico team until they have
played tough competition. How-
ever, it's played in Artesia, so
we'll string along with the home
team.
PECOS 20, ALPINE 6 — The
Eagles won their opener over El
Paso last Friday while the Bucks
were being defeated by Mc-
Camey. Pecos to surprise a few.
EL PASO 12, FT.STOCKTON 8
—The Panthers still too weak,
even over an El Paso team
that lost to Pecos last week.
WINK 15, IRAAN .7 — The
Braves lost a 24*0 outing to Big
Lake in their opener while the
Wildcats and Van Horn were
battling to a 6-6 tie. The home
field will give Wink a touchdown
advantage.
CRANE 22, JAL 6' — Crane
has a solid team and handled
AAA Ft. Stockton with ease Fri-
day. Jal was disappointing in los-
ing to Lovington.
SAN ANGELO 14, MIDLAND 7
—Both won by impressive scores
in their season debuts, but the
Bobcats had a little tougher op-
position.
MIDLAND LEE 20, BIG SPRING
6 — The Lee Rebels own a 21-
14 win over Lubbock and rate a
slight edge in this conference
scrap.
ABILENE 10,ODESSA 7 — The
Broncs surprised Amarillo, but
were not rated that good. The
Eagles have a win also, and rate
the slight edge.
LUBBOCK 20, ECTOR 7 —
Ector failed to score against
Monahans, while Lubbock was
losing to Midland Lee. The
Eagles don't have the hosses to
go far in their first year in AAAA.
COOPER 14, PERMIAN 7 —
Number one team in the state,
C ooper handled tough Brownwood
last week. Permian, which was
favored, tumbled to Amarillo
Tascosa. Should be best game
in the state.
Seventh Grade
Loses Opener
To Crane, 14-0
Crane's seventh grade took
advantage of fumbles and breaks,
and defeated a stubborn Kermit
seventh, 14-0 last Satruday at
Crane. The home team tallied
in the second and fourth quarters
for the win.
Kermit stopped one drive at
their own eight yard line after
Crane moved from their 45. On
an attempted punt, the ball hit
a Kermit player and was recover-
ed by Crane at the one. They
drove on over for thefirst score,
but missed the conversion.
After an exchange of punts in
the third period, Coach Mike
Quimby’s Kermit Daubers put on
a drive to the Crane six, but
lost the ball on a fumble.
An 82 yard pass and run play
gave Crane another touchdown in
the fourth quarter, and after the
conversion, were ahead, 14-0.
The last period was a mass
of fumbles for both sides, with
neither able to capitalize on the
breaks.
The Kermit seventh will have
an intrasquad game Saturday, be-
ginning at 9 a.m. Next outside
competition will be Oct. 5, when
they journey to Monahans.

aerials to quickly take a 12-0
lead.
The Bees' scoring machine
moved Into high gear In the third
quarter, moving 75 yards to their
first tally. Quarterback Joe Dun-
lop went the final six yards on a
keeper and also ran over the
extra point to cut the Crane lead
to 12-8.
Still in the third period, the
Kermit B team took over on
their own 20 and moved 80 yards.
The payoff was a 30-yard pass
from Dunlop to end Travis Rob-
ertson. Bryan Chamberlain took
the ball over for the extra points
to push the Bees' advantage to
16-12. That ended the scoring for
the day.
Kermit will take on the Fort
