Bears host talented Giddings Friday night
m Moore / O
By Ellen Moore
The 2 - 1 Bears host 1-1-1
Giddings Buffaloes in the Friday
night game at Erhart Field. The
Bears are coming off a decisive 29
- 14 win over Lampasas, and the
Buffaloes have renewed pride after
holding Smithville scoreless Friday
night in an 8 - 0 defensive battle.
Coach Roger Martin, when
reached early Monday, said that he
and his coaching staff had watch-
ed films of the Giddings team, and
it’s obviously that ‘they have
tremendous talent. They’re good.”
“Kind of Scary”
Martin added, ‘‘They shut out

400 yards a night. That’s quite an
New practice tees
at Pine Forest
By Paula Gibson
A new practice range has been
established at Pine Forest Golf
Club. Located just south of the
18th green, the range is adjacent
to the Colorado River and has a
magnificent view.
According to General Manager
Mark Cornelison, “Members can
use all their clubs to practice with
here, and the members have been
asking for one for quite a while
now. There is a level practice tee
and the area is fully turfed and rock
free.”
The practice range is over 400
yards long and 55 yards wide. To-
tally irrigated, the range was con-
structed with the golf club’s own
equipment and manpower. Next to
the practice range, a small pic-
turesque pier has been installed
over a cove in the river for the en-
joyment of children and adult
members. Fishing is allowed from
the wooden pier which was built
last spring.
The practice range is separated
from tne 18th fairway by large
mounds of soil covered with turf.
Practice balls cost $1 a basket,
and the machine takes only tokens,
which are sold in the pro shop on
the golf club premises.
“I expect the new practice range
to increase play and interest in tne
club considerably when members
hear about it,” Cornelison point-

tion purchased the tract of land
where construction was begun on
the sanctuary and annex. The new
facilities were dedicated on May
21, 1967.
Soon thereafter Pastor Solberg
accepted a call to serve First Luthe-
ran in Waco. Good Shepherd was
without a resident pastor until
March of 1968, when Pastor A.H.
Bohls arrived on the scene.
Pastor Bohls served Good
Shepherd and Faith in McDade un-
til his retirement in May, 1978. He
was succeeded by Pastor G. Bun-
dy who served Good Shepherd un-
til August, 1984, when he accepted
a call to Faith Lutheran in Taft,
jexas
Earlier in 1984, Good Shepherd
voted to discontinue the 20 year
dual parish relationship with Faith,
McDade. Each congregation looks
forward to a fulltime pastor.
Good Shepherd is now in the
process of seeking a pastor to give
leadership and to minister to the
spiritual needs of its members and
the community.
For almost 20 years W.R.
“Bimbo” Brinkmeyer served the
church as organist.
Of those 1964 members who
formed the chufch the following
are still a part of the Good
Shepherd fellowship: Mrs. Dan
Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. Royce Nam-
ken, Mrs. Esther Bennight, Mrs.
Mary Warren, Mrs. Lillie
Schroeder, Mr. and Mrs. W.J.
Brinkmeyer, Edgar Kreidel, Quin-
ton Geltmeier, Mr. and Mrs. Mon-
roe Kessel and Linda Kessel
Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon
Voges, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin
Laake. These names appear in the
list of those who communed at the
November, 1964, communion
service.
Before the Civil War, a German
Evangelical Lutheran Church
formed in Bastrop, obtaining a lot
from the city on March 5, 1856.
TTte lot was conveyed by Mayor
Joseph O’Conner to Carl A. Lott-
man, Alois Knittle and Phillip Da-
gan as trustees for the church.
According to. Rev. Bohls, the
church operated for around 20
years on property that is now the
city baseball park.
ed out. “Next spring, we plan to
place out markers designating the
practice range from the greens.”
The golf club will also be spon-
soring a membership drive begin-
ning Oct. 1 and extending through
March 1985. “This will benefit the
existing members, because if a
member sponsors so many new
people, that member will receive
a 10% credit towards the initiation
fee on the existing members ac-
count,” Cornelison commented.
“We are hoping to sign up at least
200 new members.
This is the first membership
drive the club has had since the golf
course opened three years ago.
Membership is open to anyone.
There are two types of member-
ships. A resident membership,
which is for anyone within a radius
of 50 miles, cost $500 with a $35
a month fee. “This is for a family
membership—parents and their
children,” Cornelison said. A non-
resident membership, which is for
anyone outside the 50 mile radius,
costs $200 with a $20 a month fee
for the same type of family mem-
bership.
“Existing members will be sent
a letter with membership and sign-
up details,” Cornelison explained.
‘ ‘We hope to see a lot more out-
side interest in the club now, es-
pecially since the installation of the
practice range.”
accomplishment right there. They
have outstanding athletes. It's real-
ly kind of scary to look at them.
They’re just talented, good
athletes.”
In addition to the win over
Smithville, the Buffaloes tied La
Grange and were beaten by Colum-
bus 29 - 14.
“They were in the Columbus
game all the way,” Martin said.
“The score was tied 14 - 14 until
late in the game, and then Colum-
bus hit them for a couple of quick
touchdowns for a couple of quick
scores right at the end. It was a
whole lot closer than the score in-
dicates.”
Outstanding Athletes
The Giddings team runs a wing
set offense with a split end. "It’s
kind of an unbalanced line,” Mar-
tin explained, “they use a lot of
motion and it’s a good system for
their outstanding set of running
backs and their good quarterback.
Number 11 (Clyde Davis, who in-
tercepted a pass Friday night
against Smithville and ran it in for
the Buffaloes only touchdown of
the evening) is a tremendous split
end and they’ve got bunches of
good athletes.”
Defensively, “they run the same
thing we’ve seen the last three
games, believe it or not,” Coach
Martin continued. “It’s a split six
basically, where they use six
linemen and two linebackers and
are three deep in the secondary.”
The advantages? “It’s tough to
block,” Martin said. “There are
a lot of plays you can’t run against
this type of defense. The blocking
angles are bad, that’s one reason
it’s a good defense.”
Get Mentally Tougher
As for the Bears, “we’re not go-
ing to add any offense or any
defense,” he said. “Again, we’re
going to work on not fumbling the
ball and making these mental
mistakes. We’ve been making the
kind of mistakes we’ve got to
eliminate. We can’t get these
penalties and contihue to win.
Against a top ball team it will cost
you. We have to be mentally
tougher.”
How does he plan to accomplish
this? “It’s not the kids fault,” Mar-
tin quickly interjected. “It’s the
coaches’ fault. We get paid for this.
They just play. All we can do is
talk to them and try to get them to
understand that a great ball club
doesn’t do these things.”
Martin paused, then added.
“Physically we’re healthy. We’ve
worked hard and I know the kids
will continue to work hard.”
Barnett - Neef to Play
Fans should expect to see a con-
tinuation of Martin’s experiment
which worked successfully last
week: alternating plays and
quarterbacks Pat Barnett and Lee
Neef. “We use the alternating
quarterbacks to get the plays in,”
he said. “The kids understand the
purpose and are pleased to play that
way.” He added, “really, it's great
that we have two quarterbacks that
can play.”
Both Barnett and Neef have been
used in passing and scrambling and
were effective Friday night against
the Badgers. “They’re just good
old Texas high school football
quarterbacks,” Martin concluded.
Game time at Erhart Field is 8
p.m. Friday.
