UCCi University of Mexico
Will Ploy Game in Refugio
Refugio. — Bobcat Stadium, in
Refugio, will be the site of a col-
legiate football game Saturday
night, September 12, as the Uni-
versity of Corpus Christi meets
the University of Mexico here.
The Tarpon football squad is be-
ginning to shape into the preci-
sion unit known as a “tedm,” ac-
cording to Coach Frank Minton.
Optimism is running high in the
coaching staff and the team, he
said, and remarked that the en-
thusiasm is great. Every boy has
continued to work hard and there
is a lot of team spirit. “If these
things continue, we should have
a successful season,’’ he added.
The team boasts a return of 17
lettermen. Since there are only
five seniors, the team voted to
make all of them co-captains. The
co-captains for the ’64 season are
Wayne Pick, Dale Norris, George
Black, Doug Colvin and Johnny
Kolacek. The outstanding member
(both physically and statistically)
is Kolacek, a 6’3’’ 235-pound tac-
kle from George West, who is a
candidate for Little All-American.
Colvin is 5’11” 195-pound guard
from Port Neches. On defense he
works at the linebacker position
with great stopping power.
Pick is a 5’11” 200-pound guard
from Houston. Wayne shows a
great amount of desire and agil-
ity in pursuit plays. Norris is a
5’H” 190-pound end with a noted
ability for catching the seemingly
difficult passes. Black also plays
end. At 5’11” 180 pounds, Black is
the tegm’s speedster with a time
of 9.9 seconds on the 100-yard
dash. i£

Have a good Labor Day
week end and if you travel
please exercise care twice —
once for yourself, once for the
other driver.
The line is further padded with
the returning of George Fillmore,
Johnny Brummett, Ron Carter and
Bob GiH.
Fillmore is a 6’ 240-pound guard
from Dallas. He is a transfer stu-
dent who will be classified as a
sophomore. Brummett is an ex-
perienced center from Port Acres.
He stands 5’11” and weighs 212
pounds. Carter is a 5’H” 210-pound
tackle from Karnes City. He is a
sophomore and returns with one
letter to his credit. Gill is a 6’2”
210-pound tackle from San An-
tonio who returns as an experien-
ced sophomore.
Freshmen on the line include
Jimmy Sesso, Wesley Clogston,
Roy Cadena, Ronald Haake and
Alfred Free.
Free is 5’11” 175-pound guard
from Raymondville, where he was
second team All-District. Haake is
a Dallas-Adamson product who
stands 6’2” and weighs 250 pounds
at his tackle position. Cadena
played fullback at Corpus Christi
Ray and is adjusting to the tackle
position here. He stands 6’2” and
weighs 240. Sesso was All-District
guard at Santa Rosa High. He
weighs 200 pounds and stands 6’,
1”. Clogston has been a tenacious
standout among the entire squad.
| He is the first player this year
to earn his “Headhunter Stripes,”
red taped stripes which are plac-
ed along the center stripes of the
helmet to indicate outstanding ag-
gressiveness. Wesley is a 5’11”
200-pound center and linebacked
from Jesse Jones in Houston. He
was noted on the All-Greater-Hous-
ton team his senior year.
Two more ends are John Smith
and Lemuel Cook. The 5’9” Smith
I hales from Raymondville. He is a
fierce cornerback on defense. John
is a sophomore with one letter.
Cook is also a sophomore with one
letter. At 6’3” 190 pounds he should
prove to be a main target for
passes.
The quarterback position is
three deep in the forms of E. M.
Kotzur, Stanley Everett and Riley
Blackstock.
Kotzur is a one-letter sophomore
from Three Rivers. He is 6’2”
and weighs 195 pounds. If this
year is to be better than last as
far as passing is concerned, he
is going to have to complete more
than 47 per cent. Everett has
made a very good impression on
his switch from fullback to quar-
terback. He is 5’11” and weighs
185 pounds. Look for some good
keeper plays from him. Black-
stock is a 5’11” 170-pound trans-
fer freshman who was All-District
at Harlandale.
The halfback position is cover-
ed by Ruben Whitney, Jesse.
Stokes, Albert Bledsoe, Bert Mc-
Williams, Larry Smith and Rich-
ard Morris. Whitney is 5’11” and
weighs 175 pounds. He is a one-
letter sophomore from San An-
tonio. Stokes is a two-letter junior
from Kerrville. He has good
break away speed at 6’ and 190
pounds. Bledsoe, 5’11”, 165 pounds,
was last year’s leading ground
gainer for UCC. He is a junior
with one letter after transferring
from Oklahoma. McWilliams is a.
junior letterman who transferred
from Cisco Junior College. He is
6’1”, weighs 195 pounds, hales from
Lubbock. Smith faced ineligibil
ity last year, but he lettered when
he was a freshman. Larry is 5’9”
and tips the scales at 160 pounds.
Morris, a 5’10” sophomore, is a
\sharp corner-cutter on end sweep*.
He is from Pettus, weighs 170
pounds, and retains a letter from
last year.
An impressive freshman is R.
T. Howell, 5’8”, 170-pounder, who
was honorable-mention All-c''o+“
halfback in San Francisco, Cali-
fornia.
Fullback slot is adequately fill-
ed by Dale Gipson and Robert
Wade. Gipson is a 5’8”, 190-pound-
er, one-letter sophomore from Ma-
son. Besides running with a lot
of power, Dale is a good blocker.
Wade (5’9”, 170 pounds) is from
San Antonio and is a top defen-
sive prospect.

POKING A PIG IN A PIPE — Pipeline pig being
inserted in Humble Oil & Refining Company’s new 36-
inch, 290 - mile pipeline is the largest ever used in a
Humble operation and one of the largest ever used in
the petroleum industry. The pig, which is about five
feet long and^ weighs approximately 800 pounds, moves
through the line under gas pressure at a speed of about
eight miles per hour, cleaning the inside of the pipe.
The $43 million intrastate line will soon go on stream,
transporting natural gas from the company’s King
Ranch Gas Plant in south Texas to industrial customers
along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Term "Social Security"
Means Different Things
To Different People
Victoria. — The term “social se-
curity” means different things to
different people. Whatever it
means to the users of the term,
the Social Security Administration
wants everyone to know what it
represents in family protection
provided through its old-age, sur-
vivors, and disability insurance
system.
Most people know that social
security insurance payments go to
retired workers and to their fami-
lies. Fewer are aware of the bene-
fits for families of workers who
die. Still fewer have heard of dis-
ability insurance for eligible se-
verely disabled workers and their
dependents.
This three-way family protection
is worked for and paid for by em-
ployees, their employers and the
self-employed; yet there are many
among those who work and pay

realize the full extent of the finan-

for themselves and their families.
The Social Security Administra-

you or someone in your family re-

Huoston. — Humble Oil & Refin-
ing Company’s new 287mrile pipe-
line, designed to transport natural
gas from the company’s King
Ranch Gas Plant in South Texas
to Baytown near Houston, has been
placed into service, it was aiW
nounced today.
Capacity of the line without
compressors is 615 million cubic
feet per day. By adding compres-
sors later, the capacity can be
expanded to 1.2 billion cubic feet
of gas daily.
The $43 million project consists
of 244 miles of 36-inch line and 43
miles of 30-inch line. For approx-
imately two-thirds of its length, the
line pararllels Humble’s existing
30-inch gas line constructed in 1959
from the King Ranch to Baytown.
About 50 miles southwest of Hous-
ton the new system veers north-
ward, circles Houston on the north
and ties into the existing 30-inch
line at Baytown.
Huble placed the line in opera-
tion to meet increasing natural
gas requirements by customers
of the company’s Gulf Coast In-
dustrial Gas System. Dual lines
from South Texas also give great-
er operational flexibility, placing
Humble in a better position to
serve its customers.
The project features several
firsts. It is the first major cross
country line completely welded
with a new semi-automatic pro-
cess. It is the first line of its
length to be protected by a recent-
ly perfected external coating
known as “Buton.” It is one of
the most thoroughly inspected
lines ever laid, with 100 per cent
of the field welds x-rayed. The
line also features extra . heavy
strength pipe over much, of its
route.
Construction of the line present-
ed massive construction problems.
The line crosses under 800 for-
eign pipelines, through 13 major
rivers and under 206 roads and
railroads. Seven miles of concrete
coated pipe are used in the river
crossings.
The intrastate line, now helping
meet industry’s growing demand
for natural gas, is one of the larg-
est projects of its type in Texas
in recent years.
Statesmen Quartet r
Appears Sept. 10
At Corpus Christi 7
Corpus Christi. — Ho vie Lister’s
Statesmen Quartet is heard in ev-
ery corner of the land almost ev-
ery day of the year.
Thursday, September 10, at Del
Mar Auditorium they will appear
starting at 8 p.m. See notice of
appearance on page four.
Through the magic of radio and
television, the Statesmen carry
their messages of faith in song to
people everywhere. The many
RCA-Victor recordings which fea-
tures The Statesmen and Hovie
Lister reflect the deep faith and
devotion to the spiritual life which
has characterizel the careers of
these handsome young men.
The recorded songs of The
Statesmen include many of the old
favorite hymns, the foot-thumping
gospel songs which are sung in
the inimitable rhythms of the
group and the songs which were
taken off the sound tracks of such
films as “A Man Called Peter”,
the screen biography of the late
Peter Marshall and “God Is My
Partner,” the story of faith which
starred Walter Brennan.
Wherever gospel music is play-
ed—The Statesmen are heard.
Their RCA-Victor recordings are
among the best-sellers in the
country today. They have just
completed two new albums of old
favorites and some new numbers,
previously not recorded.
