With the season beginning on
Friday the 13th. head football
coach and athletic director Lar-
ry Wartes has only one thing
to say about the coming grid
season, “it is going to be tough "
foot five end and a six-foot-three
end that are great athletes, and
a quarterback that can go.”
"They are going to be the type
of team that can hurt you on
any one play because, if their
offensive backs fail to move the
bell, their quarterback and ends
will always be capable," he
said
U Wartes has any more room
for worry, it seems to go with
the defense this year. His hopes
rest on a defence that can stop
a third and fourth play and
says that if the team this year
can't do that. It can not be
considered a good defensive

the defense he feels and if the
backs can not get out of the

ed, they will have to gamble a

Ray Cowsert, Hereford may-
or for the past years, sub-
mitted his resignation Tuesday
morning in a special meeting of
the Hereford City Commission.
The meeting had been called
for the accepting of bids to
set up the new water field and
faculties at the Wilson A Co. I
plant site about 3 miles west of
Hereford. Bids had been accept
move.
Cowsert, who had six months
remaining on his fourth term as
Mayor, explained in his letter of
resignation that "1 have for
some time contemplated taking
this action but have hestitated to
do so until Wilson Packing Com-
pany had definitely decided to
construct their plant in Here-
ford. Now that it is a fact that
Wilson Packing Company will
construct their plant I feel that
1 should not delay any longer in
submitting my resignation."
The mayor went on to explain
that he was resigning “so that
I can devote my full time to
my law practice." He pointed
out that the Cowsert and Bybee
law firm plans to enlarge their
offices and take in more attor-
neys.
“I want to express my appre-
statement was verified (concern
ing instances of the use of “a-
busive language" in front of the
two wives at the time of arrest
and that the statement was
made by one of the arresting
officers to a wife that "if you
don't shut up. I'U put you in
jail too." A defendant who was
bandaged said that they had
been placed in the drunk tank
and water was turned onto them
causing pain to an earlier in-
jury — although he said that
none of them had been drinking
at the tune of arrest and that no
alcohol was discovered in their
car.)
Judge Williams described the!
defendants by saying that he
had to order them to “stick in
your shlrttails" when they first
appeared But he had listened
to their story. When asked if
they could speak to someone in
