Elkettes Roll
To Easy Win
Bos' Hawgs livewell
By Chuck Hutson
BY BOB SONDEREGGER
HALTOM CITY--
Sometimes, it’s not the
final score but how you
play the game that counts.
For about a half Thurs-
day night, the Elkettes
played with the vigor of a
team trying to hit new of-
fensive horizons. For
another half, the Elkettes
played like good old girls,
trying not to embarrass
anyone.
The Elkettes led 38-20 at
halftime while coasting to a
53-28 win.
For the Elkettes, it was a
case of everybody having a
good time as Burleson
began substituting freely
during the second quarter.
And things could have
been a lot worse for
Haltom.
“We did real good in the
second quarter but we
came back and played like
they were playing in the se-
cond half,” said Elkettes
Coach Joan Ferrell.
Perhaps the worst thing
about the Haltom game is
where it falls on the
schedule.
It comes between Mon-
day’s loss to Richland that
was caused by a dismal
second-half showing and
next Monday’s all-
important vi$it to Arl-
ington. /
Ferrell hopes no momen-
tum was lost in the loosely
played second half.
Thursday’s game was
probably never really in
doubt but the Elkettes did
trail once in the very early
goings.
Jan Smith rebounded and
put in a bucket to start the
game but Haltom got a free
throw and then a bucket
before the Elkettes scored
again.
Smith put the Elkettes
ahead for good on a layup
after taking a perfect lob
pass from Allison Gray.
The Elkettes continued to
get away with things some
teams don’t allow as they
ran up a 16-7 first-quarter
lead.
Gray hit on a driving
layup to make the score 6-3
and after Haltom scored by
slipping out of the Elkette
press, Shari Sherrill hit two
free throws to make the
score 8-5.
Gray hit a field goal and
Lisa Barr made a free
throw to make it 11-5 before
Haltom was heard from
again.
Barr, who ended up the
leading scorer with 15
points, got six of the Elket-
tes next eight points before
Haltom answered with a
field goal.
Kim Kerr scored twice
and Gray once off a steal as
Burleson scored six more
unanswered points to run
the lead to 25-9.
Tracey Alligood and
Barr scored before Haltom
ran off three straight
points The Elkettes ran
the lead to 38-15 as Susann
Spurlin scored four of the
next eight points.
The tempo slowed in the
second half as the Elkettes
yielded only two points but
managed to score only
eight.
Barr had 15 points, Gray
had 10, Jan Smith had nine,
Sherrill and Spurlin each
had six and Kerr had five.
Gray and Kerr led re-
bounders with eight each,
Jan Smith had seven, Barr,
Alligood and Rhonda Smith
eaclrhad four and Sherrill
and Spurlin each had three.
Gray came up with four
steals, Barr had three and
Jan Smith had two.
From the Elkettes stand-
point, perhaps the best
showing came in crisp
passing that set up baskets.
Gray had seven assists,
Barr had four and Alligood,
Rhonda Smith, Jan Smith
and Sherrill had two each.

Dual Texoma License
Tough, cold and wet wintry blasts last week kept most
anglers off area lakes. Black bass fishing had been ex-
cellent prior to the cold front's arrival.
Freddie Grant’s Fun of Fishing television show aired last
weekend showed several hot spots at Lake Whitney that
produced good bass. Grant was fishing Mesquite Creek at
the point where it runs into the Brazos River and also the
area from Plowman Creek back to the railroad bridge on
the Brazos. He was throwing a combination black and
yellow skirted spinner bait with a large number eight cop-
per blade. The bait resembles a perch in offcolored dingy
water.
You can often use a green crank bait for the same results,
but the advantage of spinners is that they will not hang up
like a crank bait when thrown into shallow water stickups
and brush. The object of the game is to catch fish and to
catch them you must select the size and color of lure that
most resembles the forage fish in the area you are fishing.
In the previous weeks most of the fish caught were in
shallow water. And the reason the fish were there is
because of the shad and perch along the shorelines. During
the winter fish might be real deep but they will move back
into the shallows to feed, especially if you have had mild
temperatures, and bright sunshine to warm the shallow
water. After a series of cold fronts like last week the fish
move out into the middle of the river channels and develop
lockjaw Try using jig and ell combinations as well as grubs
off points in deeper water.
Fishing has slowed considerably since last week, but
plans of upcoming fishing tournaments are well underway
for the Burleson Bass Club.
Dan Carter, president of the Burleson Club invites
bassers and bassin’ gals interested in competition fishing to
attend tonight’s meeting to be held at the SPJST Lodge.
Starting time will be 7:30 p.m. An officer and board of
directors meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m.
The top 20 fishermen from last years tournaments will
participate in a metroplex fish-off to be held at Lake
Palestine, March 1st and 2nd. Hillside Marina, located on
highway 155 out of Frankston will be headquarters.
The club’s first tournament of the year will be held at
Lake Whitney on February 16th and 17th. Headquarters for
the event will be at Plowman Creek Park.
Herman Langford and William Polster braved the cold
windy weather Sunday before to win top prize in an open
striper tournament at Lake Whitney. Twenty anglers had
signed up for the tourney but the 25 degree weather and
high winds took its tole on men and equipment and by noon
most of the 20 fishermen were snuggled around whatever
heat they could find.
Regardless of what type of fish you are trying to catch,
the closer you put the lure to the fish, the better chance you
have to catch them. So go drown a worm or whatever, take
a kid with you, but don’t use them as anchors.
The new $5 Lake Texoma
fishing license now is avail
able and in effect, but some
confusion still may exist
about license requirements
on the border reservoir.
The Texoma license allows
its holder to fish both Texas
and Oklahoma waters of the
lake without having to pur
chase resident or nonresi-
dent licenses from either
state.
However, Texas residents
over 65 years of age who are
exempted from having to
purchase a resident Texas
license for fishing within the
state still need to have the
Texoma license or a nonresi-
dent Oklahoma fishing licen-
se if they plan to fish the
Oklahoma portion of the
lake, according to the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart
ment.
The only persons exempt
from this requirement are
those under 14 years of age.
Lake Texoma presents an
unusual set of law enforce-
ment problems for wildlife
agencies of the two states,
since an invisible line divides
the lake. About 70 percent of
the reservoir is considered
Oklahoma waters, the rest
Texas. Holders of resident5"
Texas Licenses have been
faced with the sometimes
difficult task of staying on
the Texas side of that invis-
ible line.
Also, department law en-
forcement officials point out
that the Lake Texoma fish-
ing license is valid only in the
lake proper, and not for the
Red River below Denison
Dam.
The Lake Texoma fishing
license is available from the
department’s Dallas office,
3727 Dilido St., Suite 132,
telephone (214) 328-5493, or
from fishing license outlets
in the Lake Texoma area.

The Montana film means a great deal to Cooper as it exemplifies his love affair with this land so beautiful.
The film has a strong adventure theme-much of it was filmed in a virtually unknown wilderness of tower-'
ing mountains and crashing white water rivers. The brothers, Coop and Dennis, take the viewer to the
Missouri River and thence down it, viewing wildlife along its banks. Then cattle ranching, cowboys,
rodeos, inter tribal Indian ceremonial dances, Great Falls and Yellowstone areas are covered Cooper
then moves on to the Custer massacre story, lishing, logging rodeo, over the mountain and down the
Salmon River (labeled "THE RIVER OF NO RETURN" by the Indians) by canoe Appropriately, they lose
their canoe in the wilderness and are faced with overland travel on foot, during which a great deal hap-
