Grid Squad
Scott Chaffin, letter-
man linebacker for the
Cedar Hill Longhorns, is
enthusiastic about the
upcoming varsity
football season.
Chaffin praised the
new coaching staff
headed by Larry Uland
as being "terrific."
He feels that the new
coaches have really
turned around the
football program by in-
stilling the right attitude
in the players.
This year Chaffin feels
that everyone trying out
for the team is serious
and intent on winning,
whereas they weren't
even sure they wanted to
play football last year.
Another returning
letterman, Ray Grogan,
feels that the summer
conditioning program in-
stituted by Coach Uland
will mean that the
players will be in better
overall shape than in
previous years.
Chaffin and Grogan
feel that the Longhorns
will surprise a lot of
people this year and
invite everyone to come
out to the scrimmage on
Friday, August 19,
against Lake Whitney.
The game will be
played here in Cedar Hill
at Longhorn Stadium.
The junior varsity will
start at 6 p.m. followed
by the varsity
scrimmage at 8 p.m.,
coach Larry Uland said.
In addition, Chaffin
and Grogan feel that the
Longhorns have some
good players coming up
from the Junior Varsity
that should blend well
with the experienced
players.

For Expert James
Average Depth Deep Fish
Average depth of wells fish have been seen at

5,157 feet. miles.
Jerry James took up
tinkering with clocks
about 30 years ago as a
hobby and has never
stopped buying, selling,
trading and repairing
clocks since.
James, 71, has lived in
Cedar Hill with his wife,
Ella, since 1971 and
makes his living now by
buying, trading
repairing, and selling
clocks of all shapes, sizes
and styles.
James, a native of Oak
Cliff, has a daughter,
Mrs. Sharlene Russell,
living here in Cedar Hill
and a son, also named
Jerry James, living in
Phoenix, Arizona.
For the past 30 years
James has been
rebuilding, maintaining
and timing numerous
varied clock workings.
James got started in
the clock business when
he traded a washer-dry-
er for a dozen clocks.
He has come a long
way since then and today
his hobby is a full-fledg-
ed business and he has at
present about 150 clocks
for sale.
His work varies from
setting up grandfather
clocks for Montgomery
Ward to replacing
spindles and chimes in
French-made clocks,
which are the most pre-
cisely built of all clocks.
Among his collection
of clocks are some
German Gustave
Becker's, Westminster
chimes, and perhaps the
most intriguing of all an
1830 clock with
completely wooden
interior workings.
James also has a Paul
Gamier clock that once
stood in a Paris fashion
store window.
However, he says, his
favorite clock is an
American Ansonia.
James also owns some
out of the ordinary three
weight clocks designed
for the blind.
One weight strikes the
hour, one is the time, and
another makes chiming
music.
Thus blind people can
tell the time every
quarter of the hour
without having to feel the
hands.
James believes that no
two clocks are alike and
that each has its own
personality and temper-
ment.
James also says that

Cedar Hill's own version of father time, clockmaker
