Q. What are the most popu-
lar uses of a personal com-
puter (PC)?
A. The main uses of per-
sonal computers are enter-
tainment, education, manag-
ing your home and budget, or
perhaps a small business, im-
proving personal productivity
and even “talking” to another
PC. With a word processing
program, you could produce
newsletters for church, social
or neighborhood organizations.
Q. How much does a PC
cost?
A. The basic computer can
be under $100 or over $1000.
Peripherals—the printer and
other devices that plug into
the machine—are in the same
range.

How’s Your
Hearing?
Chicago, Ill.—A free offer
of special interest to those
who hear but do not under-
stand words has been an-
nounced by Beltone. A
non-operating model of the
smallest hearing aid Beltone
has ever developed will be
given absolutely free to
anyone requesting it.
It’s yours for the asking,
so send for it now. It is not
a real hearing aid, but it will
show you how tiny hearing
help can be. The actual aid
weighs less than an eighth
of an ounce, and it fits com-
pletely into the ear canal.
These models are free, so
we suggest you write for
yours now. Again, there is
no cost, and certainly no
obligation. Although a
hearing aid may not help
everyone, more and more
people with hearing losses
are being helped. For your
free sample write today to:

Elvington threw to Tucker
into the endzone and Don
was unable to reach the
ball. A holding penalty
on fourth down forced a
Colony punt.
Connors’s kick took a
Cougar bounce setting the
Pioneers deep at the six-
yard line. Again, the Cougs
defense held Boswell and
on fourth and one Boswell
punted giving the Cougs
good field position at the
43-yard line. Elvington
scrambled down the right
sideline for a first down
to the Boswell 32 and the
Colony was threatening.
The Cougars wen t for it on
fourth and four but missed
by a foot and Boswell took
over at their 23.
A clipping penalty, cou-
pled with a holding penalty
on the Pioneers set up a

On third and 20 QB Erik
Lindsey hit his receiver,
Seth Parker, on a 24-yard
pass to the Boswell 37 and
a first down.
Boswell continued to
drive moving across mid-
field. A personal foul
on the Cougs gave the
Pioneers a first and 10
at the Cougar 30. RB
Jeff Dickens picked up
another crucial first down
to the Cougar 20.
Lindsey carried to the
seven setting up a first
and goal for the Pioneers
and on third and goal,
Lindsey carried the ball
in for a score. The two-

26 seconds left in the half
was good as Lindsey hit
Parker on a quick pass
giving Boswell a 14-0 lead
at halftime.

Since gas lines run underground, you
should also take precautions against
disrupting these lines, particularly if you
plan to:
Put in a new fence.
Do not switch anything
" electrical on or off. Do not use
your own telephone
(telephones use small amounts
of electricity). Do not strike a
match, and do not do
anything that might cause a
spark.

Have everyone leave the
" house immediately, leaving
doors open for ventilation.
P) Install an underground

A Lone Star Gas Company
maining LB Thomas Mar-
lar intercepted a Lindsey
pass deep in Cougar terri-
tory giving the Cougs an-
other chance. Overfelt did
a good job executing plays
and the Cougs drove deep
inside Boswell territory.
The big play of the
series came after Kearney
picked up a first down to
the Cougar 37. A penalty
on the Cougs moved the
ball back to the 22 before
Mark Powell broke loose
on the Cougars best run
of the year, picking up 43
yards to the Pioneer 35.
Overfelt hit Don Tucker
for seven yards with only
45 seconds remaining and
a five-yard face mask on
the play gave the Cougs
better field position. On
first and 10 the Cougs
fumbled and Boswell re-
covered, running out the
clock.
The Cougars loss was
disappointing but the year
was not in vain. The Black
and Gold has become re-
spectable and despite the
same number of victories
as last season, the team
was much improved and
much more mature. The
Cougs and their coaching
staff deserve a hand for
coming as far as they did
in two short years.
A big goal set early
on was to be a contender
and have a chance to
make a difference in the
district. Ask Allen if
the Cougars played better
than in 1987. The Eagles
would be the first ones
to admit that they are a
team to be rekoned with
in the future. Best of
luck and thank you to
all the graduating seniors
for all the memories.
And to the 1988 Cougars:
Hopefully the community
will support you even
more next season.

several penalties includ-
ing two back-to-back un-
sportsmanlike penalties
which resulted in Bart
Howells (45) ejection from
the game. Overfelt had
the Cougs driving but
the Cougs were unable to
get on the board despite
good running by Robinson,
Kearney, Powell, Gillum
and Daniel. Greg did a
good job executing the
plays considering his lim-
ited playing time this sea-
son.
The Cougs threatened
but a mixup on the snap
forced a fumble and
Boswell recovered deep
inside Colony territory.
The Cougs regained pos-
session at their own 14
yard line. Boswell made
mistakes helping the Cougs
get better field position
on the nemerous penalties.
The Cougs finally pene-
trated inside the 20 when
Mark Powell broke to the
Boswell 15.
The Cougs moved to
the seven-yard line but
on third and goal, TCHS
fumbled and the Pioneers
recovered. Boswell con-
trolled the ball ending the
third quarter.
The Cougars had one
more long drive after
Curry, Trimble, and Flow-
ers forced a Boswell punt.
The Colony, starting from
the 14 were unable to move
the ball downfield, and
on fourth and short Con-
nor kicked. Connors kick
was short due to the gusty
wind and Boswell took
over at the Cougar 35.
Again, the defense held on
good plays by Kim, Trim-
ble and Scott Harris who
had his best game of the
season.

The Boswell Pioneers
took a lead late in the
frist quarter and held
on to defeat the Colony
Cougars, 14-0. The game
ended the season for both
teams with the Cougars
finishing 2-7-1 with a 1-3-
1 record in district 5 4A.
The Cougs kicked off
to open the game and
held the Pioneers to three
downs on good plays by
NG Ricky Love and DE
Scott Childs. On fourth
and 10, Boswell punted.
The Cougs’ Mark Pow-
ell picked up six yards
on first down but Boswell
held and on fourth and a
foot, the Colony punted.
Connor hit one 53 yards
kick that placed the Pio-
neers at the 16-yard line.
The Cougar de-
fense again held with good
plays by Jason Noland,
Lorne Green, and Shan-
non Trimble. Trimble
stuffed a third and short
play and Boswell,inches
short, pun ted. The Cougars
started at their 43 after a
runback by Don Tucker.
Sophomore power back
Wayne Robinson burst
through a huge hole for a
first down on a 13 yard
pickup to the Boswell 44.
The drive stalled there
and Connor punted. Con-
nor’s 52-yard kick went
into the endzone and the
Pioneers started on an
eight-play scoring drive.
The Pioneers drove for
four first downs inside
the Cougar 15 before QB
Erik Lindsey rolled left
and into the endzone. The
PAT was very low and
short.
The Cougs started at
their 41 and on second and

for 11 yards and a first

a first own on a 24-
