DOG BECOMES
DINNER GUEST
Royczar, a German
shepard, has dined on an
elegant steak dinner at Lyle
Johnson’s Restaurant in San
Francisco. The feast was by
invitation.
In the early morning hours
on the previous day,
Patrolman Art Himm, the
dog’s handler, noticed marks
on the back door of the
restaurant. While other
policemen surrounded the
building. Royczar and Himm
carefully entered the
restaurant.
The dog sniffed through
the eating area and then
trotted into the kitchen. He
gave a significant bark and
Himm moved in, turning on
the lights. Two men stood
with their hands clasped
behind their heads.
Royczar had to skip lunch
to accept Johnson’s invitation
to dinner. He’s on a strict diet
to keep his working weight at
90 pounds.

TURNS ON THE STEAM
Junior fullback Monty Egger (31) is shown as he makes a turn around left end and runs to
daylight in Fridays scrimmage with the Lamesa Tornadoes. The Tors outscored Kermit in the
end zone, but according to Head Football Coach Charles Topinka the Jackets gained valuable
experience which will help to mold the team into a winning unit. (Staff Photo).
Topinka Prepares
Jackets For Opener
Members of the Kermit
Yellow Jacket football squad
made their debut for the 1976
season Friday when they
traveled to Lamesa and
engaged the Tornadoes in a
controlled scrimmage, which
enabled all the members of the
Jacket team to see action.
For all the fans on hand to
watch the Jackets it might
have seemed that the Jackets
were unable to move the ball
against the Tors, but according
to Head Coach Charles
Topinka that fact did not
worry him in the least. “We
were really not prepared for
the scrimmage, “Topinka
stated, “And were only able to
run two of the five plays we
had planned to,., use against
them due to the defense they
were using against us.”
Topinka stated that he saw
little reason to prepare the
Jackets for a defense and
offense that they may not see
again all year, instead Topinka
and his staff went into the
scrimmage looking for two
things from their team
members, effort and
aggressiveness. “We just want
to see how our team does
against someone else and how
willing they are to play
football. If they possess those
two qualities we can teach
them the rest.”
The defense, which
appeared to control things
very well, was a bit of a
disappointment, stated
Topinka, in that they looked
good on the field, but after
viewing the game on film the
coaches were able to see that
the team was making mistakes
in technique, but were able to
make up for their mistakes
with effort and aggressiveness.
In summing up the teams
effort in it’s entirity, Topinka
said that he and his staff were
pleased with the teams overall
effort.
- ........I in. ....... - -|rl-~
The Jackets will see their
next action Friday when they
play host to the Andrews
Mustangs in their last
controlled scrimmage before
the season officially gets
underway on Sept. 3.
The junior varsity will take
the field at 5:30 while the
varsity action is scheduled to
get underway at
approximately 7 p.m.
Andrews runs an offense
very much like that of the
Jackets which has enabled the
Jackets to prepare a little more
for the Mustangs than the
Tors, but Topinka stated that
the varsity squad is wasting ,
little time preparing for the
scrimmages. The Jackets are
instead preparing themselves
for their season opener with
Alpine.
Coaches helping on the
varsity staff this season
include Topinka, Larry
Allison, Mike Patterson, and
Bobby Strickland. Kirby
Lackey and Ronny White are
instructing the junior varsity
squad.

Hello there sports fans. Once again it’s time to introduce all
you fine people out there in newspaperland to the greatest
football prognasticator of all time and the best friend you will
have during the next few months. That friend and all around
great guy is none other than yours truly, Amos D. Fuddle.
Through the efforts of Amos D. Fuddle and his fearless
forecast you will be able to see deep into the future and witness
how your favorite schoolboy football team will faring on any
given Friday or Saturday night during the duration of the 1976
season.
Here’s how it works. First of all Amos will make his
predictions and mail them to the local newspaper. In your case
it will be to that fine speciman of the media The Winkler
County News. Then on every Thursday until the end of the
season the predictions will be published and for a mere 15
cents, (the price of a newspaper), you will be able to get your
copy of Fuddles Fearless Forecast. We also realize that this 1
article will be one of your most treasured pieces of literature
for the season so we have informed that bunch down there at
the local Newsy that they had better be sure and run a few
extra copies every week so that there will not be any shortages
of Fuddle Fuel.
It is also wise that I tell you right now who my favorite team
is. With no hesitation I tell you that it is the next State AA
champs the Kermit Yellow Jackets.
Ole Amos has already had the opportunity to slip up to
Lamesa and watch those Jackets in action. Let me tell you, it
looks as though they’re building one of the finest teams that
has been seen around Kermit in quite a few years. I must admit
that they still have a few things to learn before the season gets
underway, but ole Amos feels that the Jackets will have most
everything in fine form by the time the record starts meaning
anything.
One other thing which needs to be mentioned and then we’ll
be finished until next week and that’s this, if anyone has any
doubts about the Fuddles ability let them look back at last
seasons record when he averaged an astounding .775 for the *,, t
year. Let me tell you something, that ain’t nothing’ to sneeze
at. See ya.
