Wink To Host
Plains Cowboys
The Wink Wildcats, seeking
their second win of the season,
will tackle the Plains Cowboys
Friday night on Wildcat Field.
Kickoff time is set for 7:30.
The game promises to be a
good one with all the spirit of
an Annual Homecoming Game,
plus the added drive of a
hard-fought football game that
always takes place when Plains
and Wink are on the football
field.
, The Cowboys, Wink’s
second District 5-A opponent
of the season, have four wins
and three losses on their record
for the season.
In District play, the
Cowboys lost to Seagraves
16-6, but came back last week
to overpower the O’Donnell
Eagles with a score of 22-8.
Wink lost their District opener
last week to Lubbock Cooper
by a score of 20-7.
Wink Head Coach James
Bolf reports that Plains is
“looking better every week,
but then so are the Wildcats.
“The Cats are going to have
to just get in their and fight,”
he added. “Both teams still
have a chance to win District,
so they are going to be putting
a lot into the game Friday.”
The Cowboys have a young
ball club, with only three
seniors on the team this year,
but Coach Bolf said that the
Wildcats are looking for
trouble from Cowboy fullback
Tony Chandler, right halfback
Gary Livesay and Quarterback
Josey Lowe.
Tentative starting lineup for
the Wildcats includes:

Red Riders
Winners Over
Blue Jackets
By CLYDE MARTIN
The Red Riders put the
Blue Jackets out, 6-0, in the
fifth grade flagball opener.
A fumbled kick-off by the
Jackets, a recovery by Junior
Velasquez, started the Riders
on their way to a quiet TD. Joe
Dominquez scooted 25 yards
on a reverse, quarterback
Randy Walker added 10 yards
on a sweep and Joe took the
ball in for the only TD scored.
Try for extra point failed.
The Jackets threatened the
second half but an attempted
run out of a punt from the end
zone was nullified and a
penalty brought back a run by
Tony Moore.
Billy Rivera got the Jackets
on their drive by blocking a
Rider punt in midfield, but on
the first play, the Jackets
fumbled and Ruben Berzoza
covered for the Riders.
The Riders started another
drive with Junior Velasquez on
a reverse pass to Ruben Briones
and a 12-yard scamper by
Tyron Conor put the Riders in
striking distance again. Terry
Bryant and Kurt Dodd threw
the Riders back with an
interception.
Playing for the Red Riders
were: Greg Wilhelm, Joe
Valenzuela, Tyron Conor,
Tony Moore, Ruben Briones,
Junior Velasquez, Russell
Frasuer, Captain Paul Nash,
Randy Walker, Joe Dominquez
and Scott Edwards.
Seeing action for the Blue
Jackets were Russell Moore,
Willy Taylor, Mike Valenzuela,
Kurt Dodd, Randy Cox,
Captain Terry Bryant, Rick
Eudy, Mike Taylor, Montie
Egger, Earl Brooks, Bill Rivera,
Billy McDougal, and Jonathan
Allen.
Man Attacked By
Deer In Driveway
AUSTIN — Just mention
Bambi to Joe McKinney, and
he’ll flinch.
McKinney, a Kendall
County construction worker, is
recuperating at his home near
Boerne where he was attacked
last week in his driveway by a
150-pound buck deer.
The victim suffered multiple
lacerations on his head, chest
and both legs from the incident
and might have been hurt
worse if his wife had not felled
the berserk animal with two
shots from a .38-caliber pistol.
McKinney told Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department game
management officers he had no
time to escape. He noticed the
deer trotting toward him as he
was leaving his car and walking
down the driveway toward the
house. The deer lowered his
head and ran full tilt into
McKinney, knocking him to
the ground.
Mrs. McKinney saw the
attack from a window, grabbed
the pistol and rushed outside
to see her husband pinned to
the ground under the buck’s
antlers. She fired pointblank at
the deer, hitting it in the chest
both times.
Observers speculated that
the deer, which perhaps was
someone’s pet at one time,
became spooked when a child’s
T-shirt accidentally became
impaled on its antlers when it
ran under a clothesline.
The shirt was still on the
deer’s antlers when the battle
ended.
Department officials remind
Texans to consider any deer
potentially dangerous,
regardless of how “tame” they
might act. Moreover, keeping
wild deer as pets is illegal in
Texas, so it’s wise to leave
fawns in the woods where they
are found.

Hunting Accidents
Needless Tragedy
AUSTIN — “Hunting season
every year brings needless
tragedy to Texas, and in almost
every incident carelessness is
the culprit,” the President of
the Texas Safety Association
said today.
George Wm. Perry, a Dallas
attorney who heads the
statewide safety group, urged
Texas hunters to learn and use
the basic rules of weapons
handling and hunting safety.
“Last year 24 persons died
as a result of hunting accidents
in this state,” said Perry. The
TSA leader pointed to hunting
accident records which showed
there were 92 separate
accidents involving 142
persons.
“The tragedy is that these
accidents just do not have to
occur. Sixty-nine of the people
involved in the hunting
accidents last year were under
21 years of age. Forty of those
involved were 16 years old or
younger,” Perry noted.
He said that this was
clear-cut evidence that many
people are hunting before they
have been given proper
instruction in safe hunting
practices.
“Parents need to make sure
their youngsters understand
the rules of safe hunting and
make sure the youngsters obey
them,” Perry urged.

There are twelve basic rules
for safe gun handling,
according to the Texas Safety
Association.
1. Treat every gun as if it
were loaded, never take
anyone’s word that a gun is
empty.
2. Always point the gun
muzzle in a safe direction,
never aim at anything you
don’t intend to shoot.
3. Be sure of your target,
never shoot at unidentified
noises, wait until the whole
animal or bird is visible.
4. Know the correct way to
carry your gun, underryour
arm, on your shoulder, cradled
in your arms, and in both
hands.
5. Keep the safety on or the
chamber unloaded until ready
to fire and keep your finger
out of the trigger guard.
6. Check bore frequently —
through the breech end — to be
sure it is clear of foreign
objects.
7. Agree before hand on the
area each hunter will cover.
8. Be sure the action is open
when handing a gun to another
person, or stopping to eat, talk
or rest .
9. Transport unloaded guns
in cases for their protection
and keep them out of sight to
prevent theft.
10. When hunting in a group
no hunter should carry a gun
so that it even points at
another person.
11. Unload gun before
crossing fences and pass the
gun under first.
12. Correct unsafe gun
handling whenever you see it
by explaining and
demonstrating the right way to
handle a firearm.

One thing a fisherman soon learns
is that rules are made to be broken.
Not laws, not safety rules, but rules
of tradition.
Some tilings about fishing are
passed along as gospel. This to the
extent that mqny people, particularly
beginners, falsely believe that these
are basic truths.
Fishing for bass with a topwater
lure is a good example. It has been
said many times that the only way to
dupe a wise old bass into striking is
to toss the lure out, let it remain
idle for several seconds, then barely
twitch it.
Glen Hayden, an ardent Austin
angler who traditionally finishes
among the winners in bass tourna-
ments held around the state, says he
prefers to work a Heddon Chuggar
fast. This is contrary to much that
has been preached and written on the
subject. But Glen gets results and
results are what count.
A topwater lure usually is regarded
as a warm-weather bait. It’s used
when things like frogs and insects
are out . . . creatures a hungry bass
would expect on the surface. But a
few years back a San Antonio angler
was fishing on Lake LBJ in Central
Texas during a cold, windy day late
in January.
Fishing was slow, so he decided to
try a surface plug. Now, any sensible
angler knows that topwater bait
won’t work this time of year. But
despite the odds against him, this one
tried it. It paid off with a bass that
weighed better than nine pounds. It
was one of the largest caught from
the impoundment during the entire
year.
Recently a friend was telling me
about an experience he had with a
beginning fisherman he took out. He
gave the man a Skipjack and told him
to try it. A Skipjack is one of those
torpedo-shaped surface plugs with
propellers fore and aft. His compadre
simply “threw the bait out” then
reeled it in steadily.
“I just started to tell him he was
doing it all wrong, that the bait was
to be fished in jerks,” the veteran
angler remembers. “But just then he
caught a bass.
“I considered it an accident. But
I didn’t tell him so.”
As things turned out, the beginner
put five bass in that boat before
“teacher” had a strike. On this day
the bass preferred a steady retrieve
to an erratic one.
Later the same week I saw some
neople with a nice string of bass.
When I asked how they’d caught
them, they said they were using plas-
tic worms.
This wasn’t surprising, since the
plastic worm is a deadly bass bait.
But something made me ask how they
were working the worms.
Lo and behold, they were simply
tossing the weighted worms out and
reeling them straight back, as they
would a bait with a built-in action.
You know and I know and the bass
know that a plastic worm, to be suc-
cessful, should be hopped along the
bottom. This time, however, the bass
went for a worm dragged shallow
and steadily through the water.
All of which just goes to show that
no rule in fishing is infallible. Tra-
dition rules are made to be broken.
The angler who goes by the book, so
to speak, won’t be right every time.
Fish, thankfully, can’t read books
or outdoors columns. Wouldn’t it be
a dull sport if every fish reacted a$
we expected?
