THE BAYTOWN SU!Y
—
Tuesday,
ss Texas’ Title
To Be Challenged
FORT WORTH (AP) - A
lawsuit challenging Terri
Eoff’s right to be Miss
Texas for 1980 is not
directed at Miss Eoff, but at
organizers of the Miss
Texas Pageant to deter-
mine their integrity, plain-
tiffs in the case contend.
"I think Terri is a terrific
actress and she’d probably
do well as a Miss
America,” said Bobbie
Lynn Candler, Miss Dallas
for 1980 and first runner-up
to Miss Eoff of Lubbock at
the July 12 Miss Texas
pageant. “It’s not a per-
sonal thing, it’s a legal mat-
ter that has to do with en-
forcing the rules.”
Miss Candler was one of
the first witnesses when a
hearing opened Monday on
the suit, which seeks an in-
junction to keep Miss Eoff
from representing Texas in
the Miss America Pageant
this fall.
The plaintiff, Miss Dallas
Scholarship Pageant In-
dustry which sponsored
Miss Candler, claims Miss
Eoff violated pageant rules
by exceeding the time limit
during her talent presenta-
tion. That, the suit says,
gave her an unfair ad-
vantage over contestants,
such as Miss Candler, who
obeyed the time limit.
Rose Raley, Miss
Candler’s manager and
president of the Miss Dallas
contest, said the $8,000 her
organization spent groom-
ing their entrant is not the
heart of the matter.
The real issue, she said,
is the “moral and legal in-
tegrity of the pageant
system.”
Roland Smith, a judge in
beauty pageants in staye(1
Georgia, told reporters he limit
he came to watch the trial
"to see if anything is on the
up-and-up.”
“There are a lot of
disputes about the Miss
Texas Pageant,” Smith
said. "This is one of the few
state pageants that people
all over the country com-
plain about.”
Attorneys for the defen
dants, Miss Texas Scholar-
ship Pageant Industry,
claimed Miss Candler had
violated some pageant
rules herself, exaggerating
her height on pageant
forms, wearing shoes that
did not conform to pageant
guidelines and failing
give her evening gown to
pageant authorities as re-
quired.
She admitted listing her
height as 5 feet 5 inches,
when she really stands a
shade less than 5-4.
“I’m not the first to do it
and I doubt I’ll be the last,”
she said, adding it is com-
mon knowledge that
pageant judges favor taller
women.
She also admitted keep-
ing the gown to protect it,
she said, from other con-
testants.
College drama professor
Mason Johnson testified he
timed Miss Eoff’s talent
presentation — a scene
from a drama — at four
minutes, 44 seconds, nearly
two minutes longer than the
2:50 time limit.
Miss Eoff won a standing
ovation after the per-
formance. Johnson called it
“superb,” but said Miss
Eoff probably could not
have achieved the same
dramatic effect had she
within the time
