Hunting results were varied
in dtllerent areas of I.lano
County during the opening days,
and a cool 11 out should Improve
the hunting throughout the entire
county.
The majority of the deer
killed were In good physical
shape', as had Ivon anticipat-
ed following the rains of the
late summer and throughout
the fall. Food has lioeri plenti-
ful as has water ami It is usually
not necessary for the deer to
travel far for either.
The largest deer reported to
The New s so far was one kill-
ed on The' Hudson Long ranch
north of Valley Spring by Fred
Teal of Pasadena. It was an
eight-point buck which dress-
mi out at 142 pounds, Long
said. The most points report-
ed so far was a 12-pointer
with a 10 1 '2 Inch spread kill-
ed by Bill Harden.

weighing 114 [tounds.
Over 100 deer were stored

their acclaim throughout the
game as the Jackets polished
off the only stumbling I’lock
remaining lietween them and
the title.
The Yellowjarkets played
heads-up foot tail throughout the
game, and showed their power
particularly In the second half
as they began to wear down the
Bulldogs. They effectively hot-
tied up Burnet’s speed mer-
chant, Willie Maxwell. The word
has been going around all sea-
son that If Maxwell turned the
corner, there was no stopping
him. But the Jackets never
let Willie turn the corner.
Big Boyd Gray was the lead-
ing ground gainer for the
Jackets, accounting for 113
yards In 26 carries and scor-
ing two of the Jackets’ three
touchdowns. Steve Turner car-
ried 10 times for 38 yards,
and caught a long pass from
Jeff Hopf that was good for 62
yards and a touchdown. Dean.
Zachary carried seven times
for 32 yards, and Hopf gained
5 yards In seven keepers.
The Jackets put the first
mark on the scoretward In the
first quarter after Jeff Hopf
passed to Mark Vtrdell at the
Burnet 29-yard line. On the
next plky, Gray took the hand-
off and charged the entire 29
yards for the first score. The
kick for extra point was wide.
The Bulldogs came larking
back In the same quarter as
Jessie Crow got loose near
midfield ami raced down the
sidelines to the Jacket 15, and
from there Randy Demlng ran
the hall over for a touchdown.
The kick for extra point was no
good, and the score remained
tied up at 6-6 until the third
quarter, when the Jackets drew
a personal foul penalty that set
the Bulldogs up on the Llano 30.
The Bulldogs gained a first
down at the Llano 17, but the
Jacket alr-tlght defense held
them there, and Escamlllo boot-
ed a field goal to put Burnet
In the lead briefly.
Near the end of the third
quarter the Bulldogs punted to
the Jacket 33, Boyd Gray ran
for a first down, but the Jackets
dew an offside penalty. Then
came the turning point of the
game, when GMarterhack Jeff
Hopf heaved a superb pass right
across the middle to Steve
Turner, and Turner showed a
clean pair of heels to the Bull-
dogs pursuers until he cross-
ed the goal line. The play was
good for 62 yards. The attempt
to run for extra points failed,
but the Jackets had a 12-9
lead that was never overcome.
Llano End Mark Virdell put
the Jackets In business for the
final touchdown as he Intercept-
ed a Bulldog pass at the Burnet
16 and reached the 10 before
being downed. Boyd Gray ran
to the three, and then charged
over the heap for the final
Jacket touchdown.
Hopf booted the conversion
squa rely between the goal posts,
and the Llano fans went wild.
The tall see-sawed lack and
forth for the few remaining
minutes of the game until Tracy
Kaspar Intercepted a Bulldog
pass with two seconds left on
the clock, and that was all she
wrote.
There was no joy In the
Bulldog kennel.
Llano’s defense was out-
standing throughout the game,
as time after time they held
the hard-hitting Bulldogs for
downs and force-1 punts or took
over the tall.
GAME AT A GLANCE
FIRST QUARTER
The Jackets took the opening
kickoff and drove for three
first downs to reach the Brunet
35, but the Bulldogs defense
tightened up, amt Kassell punt-
ed out of ixmiids at the Burnet
5. The Bulldogs made a brief
flurry with Demlng gaining a
first down at his own 35, txit
the Jacket defense held tight,
and the Bulldogs punted to the
Llano 20.
Boyd Gray charged for 10
yards to the 40, and Steve
Turner made another first down,
(at midfield. Gray Ppm to the
Burnet 45 and again \to the 40,
and Jeff Hopf |xis*ed to Mark
