Hornets Start 'Second Season' Against Canyon
(Continued from Page One)
and Tulia will take the field with a4-5-1 mark.
While admitting that this is the worst record
for one of his teams to enter the playoffs, the
Hornet coach quickly points out that the five
teams which have beaten Tulia own a compos-
ite 43-6-1 record and each won its district. Of
the five Tulia foes, Idalou is undefeated; Lit-
tlefield, Canyon and Quanah have each lost a
single contest and West Texas High has three
losses and one tie.
"That is a pretty good indication of the
calibre competition we have faced," he said.
"Besides, it's how you come out at last that
counts. Wc had an inexperienced team which
improved the last half of the season.
Although "not very big," Canyon is "quick
and strong and they are very confident. They
are not overpowering, but they can go all the
way on any play."
The Eagles are sparked by "a real good
backfield.” Senior tailback Deron Alexander
has rushed for 1,630 yards this season. Quar-
terback Will Langley is a capable passer but
his long suit is that "he is h scrambler, a good
runner."
Alexander and Langley were starters on last
fall's Eagle squad which advanced far into the
AAAA playoffs.
"Good, quick linemen" in the 170-175
pound range man the trenches for Canyon.
They have "a real strong defense, but you
expect to play quality (opponents) when you
reach the playoffs."
Coach Wilson realizes well that "when you
get into the playoffs, you've got to play, good,
sound football and get the breaks."
Fullback Craig Gardner "did a great job"
against Dimmitt last Friday, gaining 160 plus
yards on 32 carries. Coach Wilson pointed out
that "nearly all of that came behind the block-
ing of (end) Trey Nevins, (tackle) Scott Ed-
wards and (guard) Ted Davey," the left side of
the Hornet line. "Those guys did a tremendous
job when wc needed it."
While his veterans performed well, the
Hornet coach was also pleased with two
younger players. Freshman safety Mike Smith
"made a good tackle on their quarterback when
it looked like he could score.” When Dimmitt
had fourth down and inches to go for a third
quarter touchdown, sophomore defensive
tackle Hugh Farmer stopped Dimmitt fullback
Kelly Howell for no gain.
DEFENSE PLAYS WELL
"Our entire defense played a tremendous
game,” said Coach Wilson, who compli-
mented Dimmitt for being "a well-coached
team, and they really wanted to win."
Coach Wilson also handed out a tribute to
Tulia fans. "1 believe our fans got into the game
as well as at any time since I've been here," the
coach said.
Canyon's setback was 27-12 at the hands of
District 2-AAA champion Littlefield. The
Eagles nipped Floydada 14-12 and Friona 32-
0. In Tulia, Littlefield, Floydada andFriona,
the Eagles played four of the six teams from
this district.
By comparison, the Hornets edged
Floydada 14 -0 and Friona 18-13 and dropped
a 14-0 decision to Littlefield.
Outside linebacker Carl Anderson is ex-
pected to "be ready for some duty" against
Canyon although Richard Pacheco is expected
to start in that position.
Tight end Warren Farmer is "doubtful" fol-
lowing an injury against Littlefield. Greg
Perkins will start at light end with John
Johnson moving up from the junior varsity to
lend depth to the position.
The Dimmitt contest was "a tough, hard-
hitting game. Wc were fortunate to come out
of it with no injuries," Coach Wilson said.

Parent/School
Organization?
The possibility of forming a parent/
school organization in Tulia is being
considered. Parent surveys arc being
sent to the home of each student to
determine community interest.
Interested persons met and set the
following objectives for such a group.
To provide opportunities for:
1) Betterparcnt/school communica-
tion
2) Parent education
3) Parent input
4) School volunteer work
Further information may be obtained
from any school campus or from Becky

Wc traveled in some of the area where
W. B. fought for our counry back in
World War II.
When I visited him in the Amarillo
hospital after his first cancer operation,
he continued to display a cheerful dispo-
sition, maintaining, "I’m gonna be
okay."
Our community lost a good man.. .he
was a good neighbor. . .he was a hard
worker. . .he enjoyed working with the
soil.
Our sympathy to Marge. . .may the
Lord bless her in a special way at this
time.
NOW I KNOW three high school
football coaches who have each
coached 200 wins.. .Gene Mayfield, L.
G. Wilson and Charlie Johnston. Char-
lie hit number 200 last Friday night. He
won his first game in 1968. He's come a
long way... .1 understand he lost every
game his first year at Childress.
"SWEATING IT OUT!"____Hornet
Coach Richard Chapman must have
really began to feel the pressure about
two minutes before the final buzzer in
the Dimmitt game. All of us were hop-
ing the Hornets could preserve the 6-6
lie. But back to Coach Chapman, it
looked like he might be gonna take off
all his clothes!... .he worked out of his
sweater, tossed it on the sideline and
kept on encouraging his players.
Yesterday’s Children Antique
Auction Ready In Amarillo
Buoyed by a western painting by
Tulia arust Kenneth Wyatt, local senior
citizens will be in the spotlight for the
initial Yesterday’s Children Antique
Auction.
Choice articles including furniture,
an work, linens, China, jewelry and
other items will be viewed Friday from
1-7 p.m. in the Amarillo Civic Center
Coliseum. Bidding starts at 12 noon
Saturday and at 1 p.m. Sunday at the
same site.
Preceding the auction, prospective
buyers may register and a catalogue,
listing articles and time of selling, will
be available for S3.
Items will be displayed and sold by
categories.
As a compliment to local senior citi-
zens for their hard work and for having
the greatest number of articles, the
Swisher group was allowed to "move in
first" on Tuesday morning. It was given
two hours—from 8 to 10 a.m.—to place
its articles.
Happy Senior Citizens moved in their
items at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
PROCEEDS RETURNED
"One hundred per cent" of proceeds
derived from articles placed in the auc-
tion by Swisher County Senior Citizens
Foundation will be returned to this or-
ganization.
years—lhan-for present senior citizens,"
one official noted.
STRONG BACKS NEEDED
"Wc need a number of younger men
to move items during the auction and
keep bidding moving," a local spokes-
person said. These volunteers will be
needed both Saturday and Sunday.
A "settle" which originated in Eu-
rope, donated for the auction by Mr. and
Mrs. Hoi Ed Tolcs, will be displayed on
stage throughout the auction.
WIDELY PUBLICIZED
"Six hundred to 1,200 people each
day" arc expected for the antique auc-
tion.
Mary Etta Bryan, local publicity per-
son, said that inquiries have been re-
ceived from Houston, Dallas, San Fran-
cisco, New Orleans, Chicago and other
cities.
"Because it is so unique," the Dallas
Times Herald published an article in its
Sunday edition about the Yesterday's
Children Auction. This will be the first
senior citizen regional antique auction
in the United States.

MISS TULIA CONTEST
WAS A-l PAGEANT
Not having seen previous Miss Tulia
Contests, it is hard to compare but the
latest was A-l. A big "right on" to
Women’s Division of Tulia Chamber of
Commerce for its sponsorship.
The pageant appeared to be excep-
tionally well organized. It was a job well
done.
With all those lovely young ladies to
choose between, wouldn't you hated to
have been a judge!

First Litter Pan
QUESTION: How doe you train a new kitten to a litter pan?
ANSWER: With most cats, using a litter pan is second nature or
can be learned by kittens unless they are separated from their
mothers at too early an age (before 6 to 8 weeks). A litter-trained
kitten in a new home,however, might have trouble remembering
where the pan is located If that's the case, confine your pet to a
room where the pan is prominently displayed Move his paws
around in the pan and add some of his used litter. If available, for
reinforcemerf As you' kitten becomes consistent about using the
p an, gradually move it closer to its permanent location
Mos; litter pans are plastic and come in sewral sizes Buy one
that's tig enough foryourcat to turn around in / Iso, change the litter
frequently.
