Ganders Fall To Defending State Champs In Dome Thriller, 35-21
By MIKE HALLMARK
HOUSTON (Sp) - Port Neches-Groves has
played in the Astrodome so many times during
their playoff trips they have come feel
proprietory and call the fun palace the “Big
Teepee." **»
The Indians showed the Robert E. Lee
Ganders that the "Big Teepee” is still Port
Neches' territory as the tribe collected rent
from the Ganders by a 35-21 count Friday night
before the second largest crowd to ever see a
high school game in the Dome, 27,377.
The largest crowd ever for the Dome to see
two high schools play was the 28,286 that saw
Port Neches-Groves play San Antonio Lee.
Port Neches’ victory was their 23d in a row
and vaulted them into the regional game against
the winner of the Galveston Ball-Pasadena
Dobie game which will be played Saturday
night. REL finished the year at 9-2.
The Indians literally wigged and wammed
past the Ganders as Port Neches used the pin-
point passing of Richy Ethridge and the scatter-
running of Blake Green to wio.
Robert E. Lee’s ' Assassins'' defense over-
matched themselves when they took out a con-
tract on Port Neches. The "Assassins" made
some good hits on some of the Indians but in the
end REL had to ask the George Armstrong
Custer question: where did all those Indians
come from?
Port Neches showed why they are the
defending Class AAAA champions and gave
notice that a team is going to have to be very
good to take that crown away.
The Ganders gave the Indians a shot and REL
even fought back courageously after appearing
delft-in the third quarter, but in the end the
Maroon fell short.
Port Neches was just able to do too many
things, too well and at the right time too many
times.
Port Neches showed flashes of What was to
come in the first quarter even though neither
team was able to score in that portion.
PN-G took the ball at their own 25 on their
first possession and marched all the way to the
Ganders' seven before Ethridge fumbled and
REL’s Mark Hatcher recovered to protect the
Ganders' goal.
The Indians were not to be denied as they
took the ball the second time after the Maroon
offense was unable to move and came jolting
back down the field.
Green took the first play from the PN-G 48 for
20 yards and two plays later Ethridge hit Carl
Griffith for another 16 to almost wipe out an
eight-yard loss keyed by a David Madden sack.
Facing fourth and one from the REL 23,
Ethridge sneaked for two yards and the first,
then hit Craig Guillory for 11 yards. Ethridge
(hen kept himself again and scored the
touchdown from 10 yards out.
Mike Barnett's kick made It 7-0 for the In-
dians with 11:04 left in the half:
Port Neches helped the REL force get un-
tracked as the Ganders' Dwight Cox sacked
Ethridge at the Indian 24 and forced a fumble.
Completing the heroics, Cox sprang on the ball
and gave the Maroon possession at the PN-G 21.
The Ganders moved to the PN-G eight but
then Boeker was sacked for a loss of six.
REL called time out to talk over the third and
goal from the 13 and the play they came up with
was a wingback option play with Willie Malone
getting the ball. Malone followed Charles
Haggerty's tremendous block into the endzone

Federal Help Important
In School Funding Here
(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first in a series
concerning federal funds sought this year for
Baytown schools.)
By D’EVA LUTHRINGER
The school district is asking for $438,414 in ,
federal funds this year and most have already
been approved.
Officials do not foresee any trouble with
getting the rest as soon as Texas Education
Agency provides the U. S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare with proof that
the funds will not be used to offset other state or

Federal funds are channeled through TEA to
local districts arid ngver given directly to a
school district, Supt. Johnny Clark said.
This district is seeking money in five federal
programs: Title 1 (Regular) for programs for
educationally disadvantaged children; Title I
(Migrant! for programs for migrant children;
Title IV for equipment and supplies; Title VII to
assist in solving problems caused by in-
tegration; and Vocational Education (Travel) to
help with travel expenses of perosonnel in
vocational education.
TITLE I (REGULAR)
The district is asking for $296,773 in Title I
(Regular) funds, almost $288,000 of it to be
spent for salaries for people to work with disad-
vantaged children.
The Title I program is designed to help
children who are not achieving on grade average prices rose only three-tenths of

that figure.

Carter To
Face Tax
Decision
WASHINGTON (AP) - New
eminent statistics show that
inflation rate is cooling off
While business spending is pick-
ing up - factors that could
make it harder for Jimmy Car-
ter to decide whether a tax cut
is needed to stimulate the econ-
omy
At the same time, the Feder-
al Reserve Board took a small
step on its oWn Friday that
may stimulate the economy.
The Fed lowered the discount
rate It charges fnember banks
to 5.25 per cenh.from 5.5 per
cent.
The Fed also announced a
major revision in its estimate
of the nation's manufacturing
plant capacity. It said that new
data showed plants operating at
80.9 per cent of capacity in the
third quarter of this year, in-
stead of the 73.6 per cent pre-
viously estimated. ,
As a result, there was less
room for economic expansion
without renewed inflationary
pressures, board member Hen-
ry C. Wallich told the Senate
Banking Committee.
The news on the inflation
front was good:
