CMC
By Tissa
^ The Rio Grande City
"Rattlers maintained their
right to the first place slot in
District 16-3A Tuesday night
with a 67-50 win over the
Mercedes Tigers. The big
showdown will be Friday
^night when the Rattlers meet
▼Brownsville Pace on the
Viking Court. Pace is the
only team left vying with Rio
for the second half cham-
pionship. The Rattlers won
the first half undefeated.
Javier Fuentes, top scorer
#in the district, scored 27 for
the Rattlers in Tuesday's
skirmish. Bobby Garcia and
Alfredo Vela each added ten
points Other scorers were
Robert Ix>pez, 8; Tavano
Ramirez, 8; and David
Sanchez, 4.
The Tigers were the first
to score in the game,
but they never again
claimed the lead after the
Rattlers took an early lead.
Two futile comback tries by
^Mercedes in the fourth
quarter were thwarted when
Rio surged forward for a
seventeen point gap at the
final bell.
The score at the end of the
first period was 17-14; the
Rattlers led 31-25 at halftime
f|and 45-39 at the end of the
third period. The Rattlers'
season record is 14-10, with a
4-0 district record for the
second half. Pace shares the
4-0 standing since defeating
Raymondville Tuesday
night.
In an exciting Junior
Varsity game, Rio downed
Mercedes JV 51-50.
The Rattlers last week
played Donna and Kdcouch-
Elsa and racked up a 68-31
score over the Redskins and
a 79-63 win against the
Yellowjackets. Top scorers
against Doona were
Fuentes, 22; Garcia, 18; and
Waffle, 12. David Sanchez
was top scorer last Friday
with 24. Also scoring in
double figures were Ivopez
and Garcia with 12 each,
Fuentes with 11, and
Ramirez with 10.
The Roma Gladiators are
still in the race in District
31AA. They were undefeated
in the second round early
this week after last week's
wins over Hebbronville and
Premont.
First half winners were
United of Laredo, with San
Diego second and the
Gladiators in the third spot.
They are coached by
Eluterio Garza. JV coach is
Roberto Luis Naranjo, and
freshman coach is Gabriel
Recio,
The Gladiatorettes came
in second in first half play
behind I>aredo United. They
are coached by Mrs. Juanita
Cantu. JV coach is Miss
Noelia Barrera.
San Isidro now has three
players on the Independents'
season top ten scorer's list.
Rolando Garza is second
with a 21.7 average; Luis
Alaniz is fourth with 14.5;
and Noel Loera is ninth with
11.1 The Tigers are tied with
Banquete in district play
with 1-0 each.
Loera and Alaniz com-
bined for 49 points to sail the
Tigers past the Ben Bolt
Badgers 78-60 last week in
non district play. The win
left SI 17-5 for the year. Also
scoring in double figures for
the Tigers were Homero
Silva, 15 and George Pena,
14.
The Tigerettes still lead in
Independent play with a 19-6
season, 1-0 district record.
Nellie Garza leads scoring
with a 28.4 average and
Blanca Alaniz. follows with
22.7.
The SI gals took an easy
70-48 victory over Bert Bolt
last week with Nellie scoring
38; Blanca 21, and Velma
Montalvo 11.

The Roma High School
Student Council held a very
successful March of Dimes
Drive on January 28 from 9
a.m. until 2 p.m.
The extremely cold
weather and drizzle didn't
seem to bother the fifty en-
thusiastic high school
students who participated.
They collected donations
house-to-house, at several
businesses in the Roma, I/>s
Saenz and Escobares area,
and at city street lights from
the passing motorists who
wished to donate for this
project.
After their hard work, the
students went back to the
high school to treat them-
selves with some delicious
hot chocolate and cookies.
The students collected an
amount of $571.44! They
were all very proud and wish
to give a very special
thanks to all the people and
surrounding communities
that helped out.
They also wish to thank
Palmira Garcia, chairman
of the project, and Mrs. Isela
Gonzalez, student council
sponsor.

NOTICE OF PROCEEDING AFFECTING
CERTAIN NATURAL OAS PRODUCERS
(January 10, 1971)
Take note that on February 21, 1 *77, Tenneco Inc. (Tenneco) filed a
petition with the Federal Power Commitiion (now Federal Energy
Regulatory Commisilon) for a declaratory order under the Natural Gat
Act, in order to resolve present uncertainties as to whether or not all
necessary filings under the Natural Gas Act have been made, and all
necessary authority thereunder obtained, In connection with of
natural gas from acreage or reservoirs under contract to Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Company (Tennessee) for sale by independent producers to
Channel Industries Gas Company (Channel)
Tenneco states that theta uncertainties have arisen at a result of an In-
vestigation by counsel for Tenneco in preparation for the defense of
pending litigation against Tenneco, Channel and certain other affiliates
of Tenneco In which certain customers of Channel claim, among other
things, that in early 1f7S Channel Improperly released a claim against
Tennessee for volumes of natural gas then owing to Channel as a result of
certain balancing transactions between the two parties which had
previously terminated In the course of this investigation, Tenneco
determined that since the inception of Channel's operations in 1945,
Channel has purchased certain volumes of natural gas produced from
acreage or reservoirs which are, or at one time had been, under contracts
to Tennessee. Tenneco states that, for the most part, the contracts, or
amendments thereto, whereby the natural gas In question was released
from Tennesse were filed by the producers with the Federal Power
Commission Tenneco also states that, In certain of the transactions
reviewed to date, however, It is unclear from the Information presently
available to Tenneco as to whether additional filings were necessary
under the then prevailing circumstances, or, indeed, whether additional
filings, presently unknown to Tenneco, were in fact made.
The Federal Power Commission Instituted a formal investigation Into the
matters raised by Tenneco and that proceeding is continuing before the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, t25 N Capitol St., N E ,
Washington, D C 20424, under the above stated docket number Any
person having a current or past interest in the sale of natural gas to
Channel from the following fields is hereby notified of the pendency and
nature of this proceeding, and invited intervene in this proceeding
