put yourself in their shoes.

The Tulia homecoming was new
and different this year. The Hor-
nets, behind Robert EseoBedo's 149
yards rushing and two touchdowns,
and the ever present defensive unit
whipped a big, fast Childress elev-
en by a 15-6 count. The Hornet
offensive unit did just what it had
to do, keep the ball. The Hornets
rolled up 11 first downs in run-
ning 75 plays to deny the Bobcats
time to mount a consistent offen-
sive effort. The ground game ac-
counted for 205 yards while the
Hornets got another 21 yards in
the air.
After the opening kickoff, the
Hornets moved to two first downs
before giving up the ball on a
punt to the Bobcats on the Child-
ress 10 yard line. The Bobcats
could not move, but a tremendous
punt by Jerry Neel of the Bobcats
moved the Hornets all the way
back to their own 27 yard line.
From that point, the Hornets be-
gan a drive that was aided by a
clutch third down pass reception
by Brian Pohlmeier from Don
Payne. The Hornets found them-
selves with a 4th down and goal
to go on the- Childress 2 yard line
where Robert EscoBedo must have
remembered being stopped in a
similar situation last week at Pan-
handle because he powered over
from the 2 to cap the 73 yard
drive in 16 plays to give the Hor-
nets a lead that they never gave
up Allen Ebeling threw to David
Jackson for the 2 point conversion
and the Hornets ltd 8 - 0 with 28
seconds left in the first quarter.
The second quarter saw the ball
change hands twice before the
Bobcats got good field position at
th Childress 44 yard line after a
punt. The Bobcats gave the ball
right ba.k as David Jackson picked
off a Bobcat pass and ran it back
40 yards to set the Hornets pp on
the Bobcat 43 yard line. With
4th down, the Hornets tried a
screen pas-, but Billy Atkinson got
into the middle of the screen and
was off to the races with nothing
but grass between him and -ix
points until Robert EscoBedo -flow-
ed some speed that no one knew
h> had in running him down lrom
behind to save a touchdown The/
interception and runback put Child-
less on the Hornet 15 yard line. Af-
ter the Bobcats got a first and
goal at the Hornet 5 yard lint1 and
an offside penalty moved the ball
on to the 2, Teddy McCaslin broke
through to drop the Bobcat ball

COVERING SWISHER COUNTY LIKE THE SUNSHINE ★ *
f\PEN HOUSE AT THE NEW SNYDER junior
college was held Sunday. We talked with a
member of the board who told us that the commun-
ity is thrilled with the project and is already deman-
ding that they proceed immediately with Phase II
which will require a new bond issue. They hadn't
anticipated that the community would be ready to
proceed 90 fast. The bond issue will be held in Jan-
uary.
Although they were shooting for 500 students the
first semester, they enrolled 640.
The board member said he had heard nothing
but enthusiasm since the opening.
■MIRING THE WEEKS before the 1970 general
Bw election, our interest in Texas political cam-
paigns stood at zero. We couldn't have cared le-s
whether Lloyd Bentsen or George Bush won the
Senatorial seat being vacated by Ralph Yarbo-
rough.
Nevertheless, we were vitally interested in poli-
tics that fall. We were pulling for Adlai Stevenson
III who was the liemocratic nominee fot the U. S.
Senate in Illinois. We had developed a political
friendship with him which led to his writing the
foreword to The Texas Country Democrat.
A ND IT SEEMS THAT wc are again to become
involved in Illinois politics in 1972.
About the time we first knew Stevenson, we
also become acquainted with Michael J. Howlett,
Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illinois.
In fact, he once called and asked permission to use
one of our columns he had read in The Herald for
a speech he was to make in Chicago.
We were very flattered by his request.
Mr. Howlett was an AAU champion during his
younger years and was vice president of Sun Steel
Co. when he was elected to his present office.
WARE ARE PLEASEO to loarn that Mr. Howlett
ft is now seeking the Democratic nomina-
tion for governor of Illinois.
Illinois Democrats don't select their nominees
in primaries as we do in Texas. The nominees are
selected by a slate committee. He is one of four
contenders for the nomination.
Mayor Daley did everything but endorse How-
lett Wednesday night at an appreciation dinner
given for Howlett in Chicago.
H BJ ASKED WHIN we were coming to s e e
L him when he called Friday. When we told
him we wished he was back In Washington, he
replied, "I’m not!”
His new book will be out soon
lAfl DIDN'T OET TO hear the Hotline program
WW Sunday evening on KVII-TV in which we
along with Tom DeCola of AP Dallas Bureau and
UPI’s Mike Wester interviews another candidate
for Speaker of the House of Representatives.
While the program was on the air, we were en
route to Amartlo to Join Dick Palmer, news director
of KFDA-TV, on a 2-man panel sponsored by HTMai
Brith at the Jewish Temple. Roger Davis of KVII-TV
News was moderator.
We always enjoy being with our Jewish friends
who have been very loyal to us. Wc were speaker
at a B'Nai Brith banquet at the Top of the village
in Amarillo sometime ago.
And we've also been on a number of Catholic
programs in Amarillo. We ‘ minorities” have to
stick together. .
£EE WHERE CANYON is in a hassle over 1o-
9 cation of 1-27 through the town. The highway
d-partm nt wants it to go east of Canyon; many
Canyon merchants want it to go west.
It i- a wellknown fact that Randall County is
one of the most rightwing counties In the state. In
fact, it consistently chalks up one of the highest
Rc publican votes in the state.
INCONSISTENCY we note in conservative
communities. . .they arc conservative when
it comes to helping the other fellow, but quite
‘‘liberal" when their own self interest is involved.
CONSERVATIVE CANYON business and civic
leaders m< t the other night to protest the pro-
posal of the highway department to skirt Canyon
on the east.
The route to the west, favored by the group.
would cost an estimated $2.8 million more than
the east route and would dislocate 55 more families.
But the more expensive route "would be more than
offset by the advantages to the city,” argued the
group.
On the controversial topic, C-C President Ed-
die Knowles made these points in favor of the
west route:
1. It will take "Texas” traffic through Canyon,
allowing the city's firms to get the business of
tourists;
2. It will help develop the west side of Canyon,
which now "is just sitting there”;
3. It will rid the town of most of its truck traf-
fic, which now goes through Canyon on the way to
the Hereford area and west;
4 Expected new development which could spring
up around th» inter-tate would be within the city
limits, bringing in added sales tax revenue. The
east route would be outside the city limits;
5. A Chamber of Commerce poll of Canyon busi-
nessmen shows 80 to 85 per cent of them want the
western route;
6. Putting the interstate west of Canyon would
allow the east part of the city to continue its
move toward becoming a residential area: and
7 The western route would be more advantag-
eous for new industries, because of its nearness to
the railroad.
RklOW WE SYMPATHIZE with Canyon, Tulia, or
lw any other community that has a problem
which could adversely affect its economy.
We feel that the highway department has an
obligation to the small town. We feel that every ef-
fort should be made not to add to the burdens of
the small towns. When we think of the money
spent on interstate highways through Amarillo, we
somehow can’t feel very economy minded when
towns like Tulia and Canyon face the loss of high-
way business by bypassing the town in order to
save dollars. (The dollars are saved by stealing
them from the little communities.)
■RUT SOMEHOW IT DOBSNT make sense for a
D community as conservative as Canyon to say
through its Chamber of Commerce president, "The
difference in cost among the various route pro-
posals is of little con-equence since it will largely
be spread among taxpayers all over the state and
nation.
“This price factor Is not something that in-
volves us as Individuals; this money will be spent,
whether here or somewhere else.”

Harris Takes Kress
Over Happy In Tilt
Tulian Held
In Slaying
TYLER — A man arrested in
connection with the slaying of a
Denver, Colo, policeman was to
appear at a hearing in Tyler before
the U. S. Magistrate.
Kenneth H llreen, 22, of Tulia,
was arre-ted Sunday at Henderson
by polier who said Green offer-
ed no resistance and was unarm-
ed.
J. Cordon Shanklin, agent in
charge of the FBI field office at
Dallas, said Green is eharged in
a federal warrant fil< d in Denver
with unlawful flight to avoid pro-
seeuti in on murder charges. Green
is charged with killing Merele E.
Nading, a Denver police officer,
Oct. 3.
An FBI -pokesman said Nading,
31, was shot during a scuffle be-
hind a coffee shop when his as-
sailant grabbed Nading's gun and
fired Into the policeman's back.
Shanklin said Green was arrest-
ed after inve tigators received in-
formation from police at Dallas and
Grnnd Prairie, and the FBI at
Denver and Tyler.

Pearson Outstanding
On Cowboys' Defense
By MARK NICHOLS
The Farwell Steers tossed the
record right out of the arena at
Farwell Friday night.
W hen the Cowboys win, they win,
and when they lose there’s no
d.iubt about it. The Steers’ stingy
defense p*rmittcd only two Cow-
boy touchdowns and these were
without the extra points, Farwell
scored 14 points in the first quar-
ter, 12 in the second and 7 in the
fourih. The final score was 33 to 12.
Rill Pearson was out lan I n ■ in
Ihi Cowboys’ off. n-c with lt(7 yards
rushing. Cole had 61 and Hargrave
23 yard-, rushing and 41 passing
for a total of 64 yards gained.
For Farwell the scoring was tal-
lied by Bi ll Hargrove 1 Tl); Nor-
ton 1 and Erwin 4 They scored in
each quarter except the 3rd. Cole
•scored both Happy TDs — one in
the 3rd quarter and one in th<- 41 h.
Happy's next op|>onent is Kress,
playing there Friday the 15th
r
or.
WE WANT TO MAKE such an observation,
WE have every right to do so because WF. are
not a conservative But wo deny a conservative the
right to make such a "liberal” statement.
We wouldn’t go so far as to say the- cost is “of
little eonsequ“nce” because we think any expendi-
ture of money is of great importance. But we are
"liberal” to the extent that we think everybody
should be treated alike.
ff Lockheed and Penn Central are going to be
subsidized, if Amarillo is to be subsidized by bring-
ing I 40 through town, we think the farmer and the
small town merchant deserve the same considera-
tion.
If "socialism" is all right for big business, th*o
it is also all light for little business.
U the highway department can afford to build
an interstate highway right through the heart of
Amarilk) at a cost of many, many extra millions of
dollars, then we think it can also afford to build
an interstate highway through the heart of Tulia,
if wc, like Amarillo, think it is for the economic
best interest of our town.
£OMS OF THE ■WORST conservatives in Ama-
w rillo engineered the routing of 140 through
the heart of Amarillo at this extra cost Some of
them had shopping centers on their mind. Some- of
them owned lake property they wanted made us-
able by the highway department.
They didn’t believe private enterprise should
have to step in and make lake beds suitable for
shopping centers — this, they believe, is the job of
ALL the people who pay taxes. Yet they deplore the
dangerous trend towani socialism. Thpy don’t be-
lieve in government "giveaways” such as medi-
care, social security, or old age pensions.

New Voter Registration
Law Is Now In Effect
AUSTIN — A new year-round
voter registration law went into
effect for Texans on October I.
Predictions are that it will make
significant changes in the political
structure of the state. New rules
governing the operation of political
party conventions also will begin
operating next year.
Major provisions in the new vo-
ter registration act are noted:
•Voters can register at any time
(except for a temporary cutoff
31 days before each election.) Re-
gistration is good for three years,
and is automatically renewed by
participation in an election during

provide the opportunity for adults
