OONNOLY, DRAYTON WIN
HAESSLEHOLM, Sweden —
t UPI l Harold Connoly and

the United States Thursday in
an international track meet.
Connoly set his second straight

meter dash as both were
clocked in 10.6 seconds and won

Also added to the Yorktown

was a center on offense and a
linebacker on defense.

AND WAR WORK
CHECK USTINO IN
CLASSIFIED
“Red" Cavette probably has
seen the “inside" of more foot-
ball games than anybody else in
the South over the past three
decades. He will begin his 32nd
year as a referee this fall, and
his eighth season as the num-
ber one Southeastern Conferen-
ce official.
Critics who say the game is
losing its punch will find a
ready argument from Cavette,
“It’s improving every year,"
says Red. “It’s better for the
fans — and it’s much safer.”
And the players coming to
college football teams are bet-
ter than ever, according to the
veteran official. “They’re bet-
ter trained in high school and
they’re better educated."
Speaks With Authority
Cavette, who runs a sports
good store here when he’s not
on the gridiron, can speak with
authority on the subject. He’s
been in the business — both as
a player and official — since
he started as a high school-full-
back here in the 1920's. He
went on to f>lay for nine years
with the now-defunct Memphis
Tigers professional team.
He said he got into football
officiating ‘ just by accident."
"In 19301, in my third year
with the Tigers, a couple of
west Tennessee schools called
up and wanted four of us to of-
ficiate a game for them." he
said. Later in the same year
he began to referee local high
scholo games.
Since then he’s worked more
games than he could remem-
ber in all parts of the South, in-
cluding eight post-season bowl
games.
In 1938, Red joined the old
Southern Officials League and
in 1944, he and 39 others helped
form the Southeastern Confer-
ence Officials Association.
Only Two Active
Twenty seasons later, only
Red and Cliff Norvell, also of
Memphis, remain active of the
original 40 in SEC officiating.
Now a robust 58, Red tops
six-feet and stays in good
shape. "You’ve got to be out
on the field,” he says.
He admits that being a foot-
ball official isn’t always the
easiest — or most popular—
job in sports. But he adds:
“There's nothing I'd rather do
than officiate a football game.
His reputation for fairness is
known by coaches and players
alike. Memphis State coach
Billy (Spook) Murphy echoed
what other coaches have said:
When Red's on the field,
you’ve got no technical prob-
lems. You know it’s fair.”
But like any official, Red
gets his share of hecklin from
fans and arguments from play-
ers. With a smite, he remem-
bered one game in particular
when a young player protested
a close call.
“I don’t know what you’re
studying.” Red told the youth,
“but It should be law."
“It is J and when I graduate
you're the first person I’m go-
ing to investigate," came the
snappy reply.

A bigger and better fishing

for seekers of the fihny tribe in
Port Lavaca on August 31-Sep-
l ember 1 A 2, a news release
from that cMy indicate*.
The event is called the Cal-
houn County Fishing Festival

event sponsored by the Jaycees
of that port city.
Said release reported that o-
ver 20,000 persons including
1,000 participants in the tour-
ney, attended the event in 1962.
Not being a fisherman, I
wouldn’t know a perch from a
mackerel, but the publicity man
says there will be six categor-
ies of fish-trout, flounder, red-
fish, crab, drum, and gafftop
as far as prizes are concerned.
As most Frenchmen would say,

Anyway, the directive says
there will be 30 daily awards

latter being a 14-foot boat and
trailer going to the person who
banks the largest trout.
Pots, big and little, are ex-
pected to be put in use during
the three-day festivities, which
include, in addition to the tourn-
ament proper, a Queen contest,
parade, fireworks, dance, tiwo
golf tournaments, water show
and an awards presentation.
If you are so Inclined, those
who wish to enter the fishing

Got myself into a tizzie the

a pair of sneakies or slides, or

on a serious mission. Mission
accomplished, the navigator re-

American Hockey League.
Cowpokes
Win 17-14
Over Rams
LOS ANGELES. (UPI)- The
Los Angeles Rams had most of
the statistics but the Dallas
Cowboys had the points In the
scoring column.
That was the story of Thurs-
day night’s pre-season Na-
tional Football League gams
at Memorial Coliseum.
The Cowboys got their win-
ning margin, 17-14, on a third-
quarter field goal by specialist
Sam Baker. He booted a 29-
yarder to break a 14-14 tie.
The Rams had the crowd on
their side—it was a whopping
70,675—but that didn't help.
Coaches of the opposing
teams seemed to be fairly sat-
isfied with the performance of
the players.
Tom Landry of the Cowboys
said, ‘ ‘it looked tike a first
game should—kind of ragged.
This was about as good as any
defensive game wc played last
year."
Coach Pleased i
11ailand Svare of the Rams!
said, “I was pretty happy I
about the two points I've stress-1
ed - pass protection and the
running g ame. I haven't given
our team many plays. We're
bringing them along slowly."
Ram quarterback Roman Ga-
briel had three passes intercept-
ed—one in the fourth quarter
when he brought the team down
to the Cowboy six for what
could have been a winning;
touchdown drive.
He threw one scoring pass on
a spectacular 40-yard play. Ac-
tually he threw the ball better
than 50 yards because he had
to scramble to evade Cowboy
linemen.
Pervls Atkins gathered the j
ball into his arms in the end
zone to p ut the Rams out in 1
front 14-7 in the second quarter.
Pass Ties Score
In the same period. Cowboy
quarterback Don Meredith
fired a 20-yarder to end Pettis
Norman and the score was tied.
The first Ram score came in
the closing seconds of the first
quarter on a 56-yard ninback of
an intercepted pass by defen-
sive halfback Eddie Meador.
Amos Bullocks rammed
straight up the middle for a
touchdown in the 26-yard burst
in the third quarter to b ring
the Cowboys even.
Then Baker, who had convert-
ed after the two Cowboy !( >* '»-
downs came in to hit with !• i
winning field goal.
In net yardage g.iinei'
Rams had nn edge of 304
On passes the Rams on
the Cowboys 1.9 to 113;

Robertson is said to be a

Ms Palomino horse along the
edge at the box seats to shake

Know tMs Hollywood fellow
thrilled those box seat kids, but
K does look like he would buy a

they could circulate among the
less fortunate youngsters aa
well as the box seat clientele in

Dale don’t know. Texans are
horse lovers.

article in an area newspaper
which stated a baseball tourna-

There was no reference in
said piece whether it was hard-
