Rites Held In
Waco Monday For
L. W. Hartsfield
Loy W. Hartsfield, 78, of Waco
died at 8:50 a.m. Friday in a
Waco hospital.
Funeral services were held at
11:30 a.m. Monday in the Wil-
khson and Hatch Funeral Home
Chapel. Rev. L. Maurice Bar-
nett officiated with burial in
Waco Memorial Park.
Mr. Hartsfield graduated from
West High School in 1906 and
the University of Texas in 1926
and received his masters de-
gree there in 1927. He had been
Hillsboro superintendent of
schools and president of Hills-
boro Junior College.
In 1947, he went to Houston as
executive secretary of the Texas
Public Junior College Associa-
tion. He was a professor of the
graduate school of education at
the University of Houston from
1952 until his retirement in
1960.
Mr. Hartsfield was born in
West March 24, 1890. He mar-
ried Miss Ethel Crocker in No-
I vember 1910 in Toklo in the
Crocker home.
They moved to Waco from
Houston in April 1965. He was
a member of the Lake Shore
Hills United
Church.
Survivors are his wife; two
sisters, Miss Maybellc .Harts-
field of West and Mrs. G. D.
Chambers of Hillsboro; three
brothers, Arnold H. Hartsfield
of Bellmead, Weldon B. Harts-
field of Waco, and C. N. Harts-
field of Breckcnridge; and sev-
eral nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers were nephews, Pat
and Garland Henly, Billy Bob

Fire Prevention Week, which is
being observed Nationally
from Oct. 6 to 12.
He will point out that last
year in the United States, 12,-
200 persons lost their lives in
fires. Thounsands more were
injured. Property damage re-
sulting from fire reached a
staggering $1.7 billion.
During the week of Oct. 6 to
12, all of us are being asked to
redouble our efforts to cut down
on this enormous toll of life,
limb and property; to check our
homes and places of business
against hazards which might at
some unexpected moment burn
us out and threaten our very
person; to remind ourselves
that fires can indeed be avoid-
ed through the exercise of care.
Fire Prevention Week is not
just another crusade to be tak-
en lightly. It was conceived, and
is repeated at this time every
year, as a deadly serious re-
minder to all Americans that
fire prevention is a relatively
simple task, but one which must
be kept in mind at all times.
How simple it is. for example,
to put that cigarette—or match
—out before discarding it, rath-
er tnan tossing it carelessly
away, perhaps to kindle a fire
with consequences yoa will
never forget.
How simple to clean out that
kitchen stove, rather than tak-
ing the risk of a badly charred
room or gutted home which can
be the result of an accumulation
of grease.
Fire Prevention Week is a
time to think of these things;
to throw out old newspapers
and other unneeded collections
Af combustible materials; to
check — or have a serviceman
check — electrical appliances
and wiring and heating equip-
ment. It is a time to pledge our-
selves to making fire prevention
a year-round job.
That is the message Fire
Prevention Week seeks to con-
vey.
Can any of us afford not to
listen — and act?

Jr. Trojans
Defeated By
Cadets, 12-0
The West Junior High Trojans
were defeated by Connally Jun-
ior High, 12-0, at Cadet Field
Thursday of last week. After a
scoreless first quarter, the Jun-
ior Trojans moved the ball to
the Cadet 11 yard line on a 27-
yard run by Dennis Kutscher-
ousky. After three plays on
which Kolar, Sullivan and Ko-
cian were stopped short of the
first down, the Junior Trojans
attempted a pass from Kocian
to Leon Pustejovsky, but It was
incomplete.
Thanks to the defensive ef-
forts of Clifton Sullivan, Den-
nis Kutscherousky, Eugene Saul,
and David Fleming, the Junior
Trojans held the Cadets to a
0-0 deadlock at halftime.
Opening the third quarter, the
Cadets kicked off to West and
as Ted Kocian was running the
ball up field, he was hit from
the side and the ball squirted
into the air where it was caught
by a Junior Cadet and returned
35 yards for the first TD. The
extra point try failed and the
Cadets had a 6-0 lead.
The Junior Trojans chanked
up another drive and this was
led by Clifton Sullivan and Den-
nis Kutscherousky as they
moved the ball down to the
yard line. The ball went over to
the Cadets as the Junior Tro-
jans failed to score. Late in the
4th quarter, Connally scored on
a 35-yard reverse making the
score Connally 12, West 0.

With just a bit over four
minutes left in the game, and
was on Its own 46, facing a scc-
ond-and-nlne situation.
The Falcons called time to
discuss their strategy and the
Trojan defense. Apparently, they
thought they had discovered a
flaw in the Trojan secondary,
so they called a pass play and
lined up for the kill.
The snap went to the quar-
terback, who wheeled and pitch-
ed to his halfback Mike McEl-
roy. The play was one the Tro-
jans had seen a dozen times be-
fore. McElroy had been taking
the pitch like that all night,
but he had run with the ball
on ail but three occasions,
which means that of the 29
times he got his hand on it, he
ran.

Trojan halfback Billy Wolf
was there instead; he Inter-
cepted and returned to the Fal-
con 45. It looked like the Tro-
jans had stopped Dunne cold
and would be on their way to
victory with four minutes and
45 yards to go.
Back up field, however, Mc-
Elroy lay flat on his back, sur-
rounded by a host of Trojans
and red flags. The referee there
had called roughing the passer,
a penalty that eventually cost
the Trojans the game.
Naturally, Dunne took the
penalty, regained possession of
It was the second time the
Trojans had fatally suffered the
effects of the red flag. The first
time, with just 48 seconds left in
the first half, Lloyd Bell also
intercepted a pass and ran it
back 55 yards for the go-ahead
TD.
However, a Trojan clipped at
the 16, and the ball was put
all the way back to the 31 when
the penalty was stepped off.
They never did make it to pay-
dirt after that.
Take away those two mis-
cucs, and the Trojans would
have easily won the game. Actu-
ally, they deserved to win.

Bicycle Rider
Visits In West
Zdcnek Marcncak, who left
Prague, Czechoslovakia on Aug.
10, on his bicycle, bound for the
Olympics in Mexico City visited
in West Wednesday afternoon
and Thursday morning.
Mr. Marcncak will do a stoiy
on the Olympics for a Czech
newspaper, but he wasn't allow-
ed to take but $100 out of
Czechoslovakia.
From Prague he rode his bike
to Vienna, Austria; Munich,
Germany; Paris, France: Brus-
sels, Belgium; Amsterdam, Hol-
land, and then to London, Eng-
land. In London, he borrowed
5 pounds, about $12, from the
Czech embassy, and then ap-
parently got a job aboard an
Italian ship and worked his
way over, landing in Montreal.
Canada The trip across the At-
lantic took ten days.
From Canada he went to New
York City, and is now enroute to
Mexico City. Wearing shorts
and carrying all his possessions
in a duffle bag, he said that
thus far he has worn out three
bicycle tires.
He had stopped in Hillsboro
and when it was learned that
he was a Czech, a Hillsboro re-
porter loaded him and his bi-
cycle into a station wagon and
eron Yoemen.
Game time is 8 p.m. at
Trojan Field.
The Yoemen, with a disap-
pointing 0-4 record and only
seven points to their credit, are
off to a start similar to 1967,
when they dropped all their
non-district games but came
back to win the district cham-
pionship.
And like last year, Cameron
has been picked to win the
title again. Only they’d like at
least one win before going into
the championship run this time.
This, they say and hope, will
come against an old rivalry, the
West Trojans.
On the other hand, neither
are the Troians eff to any kind
of spectacular start, although
they have shown more power,
speed, punch, scoring and de-
fense than Cameron. They have
also won one game, against La
Vega, in West three weeks ago.
Based on these showings and
the fact that the Trojans will
bo playing on their home field,
the Trojans rate as a two touch-
down favorite.
One-Car Accident
Claims Two I Jves
and ready to explode at any
time. That’s what they did last
year. Also, the Yoemen, being
old rivals, will be out seeking re-
venge for past years.
For the Trojans, quarter-
back Joe Masnek has been back
in practice this week but wheth-
er or not he will start tonight is
still a question in doubt. Ber-
nard Machovsky, who also miss-
ed the Dunne game with a back
injury, is also rearing to go.
ing 23-7.
And for a team playing with
three regulars not even suited
up, the execution was excellent
and team play organized. A
large hunk of this credit is due
to quarterback Charlie Pisca-
cek.
A sophomore starting his
first game in place of injured
Joe Mashek, Piscacek met the
test of pressure head-on, but
remained cool enough to guide
the Trojans to a 7-0 first quar-
ter lead. He also proved that he
can throw the ball, not just
for distance, but for accuracy.
He connected for five of seven
attempts the first half, but slip-
ped to 8 of 16 before the night
ended, sometimes under pres-
sure. One of his completions was
a 32-yard TD pass to Wolf. The
others added up to 84 yards
through Uio air.
However, Dunne held the
edge just about everywhere
else. With McElroy getting 95
per cent of the yardage, the
Falcons outrushed the Trojans
SSSsaMKi
Trojans for two to three weeks.
Otherwise, the Trojans ap-
pear all healthy and set to go
after number 26 straight.
Last week’s game with Dunne,
although West lost, 23-7, proved
that depth at quarterback may
not be as thin as thought.
One of the brightest spots was
turned in by sophomore quar-
terback Charlie Piscacek, who
guided the Trojans successfully
from both the spread and T,
completing 8 of 16 passes, in-
cluding a 32-yard TD pass to
Billy Wolf.
And with Piscacek pulling the
trigger, the shotgun was fairly
effective, getting 84 yards on
eight completions—a particular
note of encouragement.
So it looks like if everything
keeps going like it lias and bar-
ring further injuries, the Tro-
ians should mop up on Cam-
eron and then go into district
next week still reigning as the
title favorite.

Dvoracek Among
Cadets Awarded
Fire Destroys
Grain Shed
A grain shed belonging to
John J. Mynur was destroyed by
fire last Thursday night, Oct,
3. West and Abbott fire depart-
ments helped control the fire,
and kept, it from spreading to
surrounding buildings.
Shortly after that fire was
extinguished, the alarm sounded
again calling firemen to put out
grass fire on the railroad.
Albin Dvoracek, Jr., of Wrst.
a senior at Texas Tech, is among
28 cadets who have been
awarded Air Force ROTC Fi-
nancial Assistance Grants this
fall.
Each grant covers the cost of
tuition, laboratory expenses, in-
cidental fees and textbooks.
The assistance continues each
semester until the end of the
cadet’s four-year ROTC pro-
gram.
In addition, the recipients re-
ceive $50 each month during the
tenure of the grant.
The Tech cadet is among 3.-
completions.
Defensively, the Trojan sec-
ondary played probably Us best
game, intercepting two passes
and recovering one fumble. The
big names there were Wolf and
Bell with the interceptions,
Danny Mynarcik. Jerry Hutyra,
Larry Vrba, and Donnie Veselka
doing their best to stop McElroy
and the power blasts up the
middle.
Ami once again, the Trojans
received outstanding running
from Wolf and Mynarclk. Wolf,
a sophomore with great receiv-
ing hands as well as tricky feet,
scampered for 51 yards on 10
carries and caught four passes
for 56 yards Mynarclk was the
short yardage man, bulling his
way for 42 yards on 15 carries.
The Trojans lit up the score-
board on their third possession,
going 43 yards in four plays
with Wolf getting the score on a
32-yard pass from Piscacek.
Smokey Kubacak kicked the ex-
tra point for a 7-0 lead with
1:14 left in the first quarter.
Tlie Falcons, with McElroy
putting on a one-man spectac-
ular, look the ensuing kick-off
and drove 65 yards in ten plays
to tic the score.
During the series, McElroy
carried the ball nine times for
53 yards before getting the
score on a three-yard burst with
3:36 left in the half. The kick
tied it up.
Then until the last minute,
neither team could move the
ball to amount to anything.
Finally, the Falcons, attempting
to pass, had a pass picked off
by Bell and returned for the
score. However, the clipping
penalty pushed the Trojans
back to the 31 with 48 seconds
left to go.
A couple of passes to Mvnnrcik
