The Burleson High junior
varsity lost a closely-fought
football game Thursday
night 14-0 to the Lamar JVs.
Lamar took a 7-0 lead in
the second quarto- on a pass
to its halfback coming out of
the backfield. The two teams
played nip-and-tuck the rest
of the game with the junior
Elks threatening to tie the
game.
Danny Ellis intercepted a
pass at midfield and ran it
back to the Lamar-10 in the
fourth quarter but Burleson
could not punch the ball in.
With four minutes to go in
the game, Lamar gained 40
yards on a quarterback
sneak and several plays la-
ter hit paydirt on a similar
play with two minutes re-
maining.
“The whole defense played
well,” Coach Benny Rup-
precht said of the game.
“The defense had a good
year.” Rupprecht singled
out David West and Danny
Wallace for their play on
defense.
The junior varsity ended
the year at 2-8 but did regis-
ter two district wins, one
over Arlington and the other
over Sam Houston. The Ar-
lington game snapped a 22-
game losing streak for the
JVs.
The freshman squads di-
vided two games with the
“A” team winning 7-0 and
the “B” team losing 14-7 to
Irving MacArthur.
“We played probably our
best game of the year,”
Coach Dave Neal said of
the“A” victory. “We played
excellent defense. We’re
really proud of them."
Burleson had a drive go to
the MacArthur-10 before a
fumble ended it and Mac-
Arthur drove deep into Bur-
leson territory but the half
ended 0-0.
The visitors fumbled on
their 20 yard line and the
freshmen scored when quar-
terback Daryl Bullard faked
a dive and threw to tight end
Bruce Barnett on a quick
pass for 20 yards. Mark Mc-
Cann kicked the extra point.
MacArthur fought to the
Burleson-30 in the last min-
utes of the game but the
Black and Red freshmen
threw the MacArthur quar-
terback twice for losses to
preserve the win.
Paul Clark had 101 yards
rushing for the “A” team,
including a 32-yard burst.
Defenders who excelled in-
cluded Eddie DeLeon who
had four tackles behind the
line of scrimmage. Rick Gar-
rett who had a fumble re-
covery, T.J. Magnon, and
Lew Holsomback.
The “B” team had a 7-6
lead until there was :46 on
the clock when MacArthur
tallied to win the game! Bur-
leson scored its touchdown in
the first period on a four-
yard dive by Scott Baird.
Ricky McKinney kicked the
extra point.
Baird, McKinney, and
Jimmy Miles were praised
for the efforts in the game.
The “A" team ended the
year at 4-6 while the “B"
squad was 3-3, all three loss-
es coming in the last mimute
of the ^
Hunting Gives Football
Serious Competition
Football may soon have
serious competition.
In a few weeks, deer
hunters all across the state
will relinquish their roles as
armchair quarterbacks to
renew their annual quest for
freshly stocked freezers and
handsome wall mounts.
Many, however, will be on
their first big game hunt and
may be somewhat confused
over the inordinate amount
of hunting paraphernalia to
choose from.
So, before taking to the
countryside, it’s a good idea
for all hunters to make sure
they have acquired adequate
equipment and found it to be
in good working order, says
Dr. Dwight Guynn, a wildlife
specialist based in Uvalde
with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
First and foremost is the
selection of firearms,
assuming, of course, that
leases and licenses have
been secured.
Guynn suggests choosing a
rifle with sufficient caliber
(firepower) for a quick,
humane kill. He says it’s
very important to match
caliber with one’s physical
size and shooting ex-
perience. Hence, large,
heavier men can probably
handle larger caliber rifles
more accurately than small,
petite women.
The most popular deer
rifles used today are .243,
.270, .30/06 and .30/30
calibers. Selection, of
course, varies according to
hunting preference, but inex-
perienced or beginning
hunters can choose between
these widely used models in
good confidence.
Selecting the type rifle
“action” depends on the kind
of hunting one expects to do.
In heavy brush for shots at
close range (100 yards or
less), a fast handling rifle
with pump, lever action or
semi-automatic may be ap-
propriate. Guynn says a bolt
action rifle is most often con-
sidered for open country re-
quiring long accurate shots.
Scope selection, often a
critical factor in the suc-
cessful hunt, is influenced
significantly by the terrain.
For open country with long
distance shooting, Guynn
suggests a six- to eight-
power scope. Under heavy
cover with close shots, an
open sight or two-power
scope is usually all that’s
needed. A four-power scope
is very popular because of
all-round versatility.
Variable power scopes such
as the 2x-7x and 3x-9x are
very versatile.
Binoculars are a highly
underrated item that many
hunters often neglect to in-
clude in their gear. It allows
the hunter to identify parts
of deer uv heavy brush sur-
roundings and distinguish
bucks from does in dim light
situations. Guynn says the
7x35 binoculars (7 power
with 35mm objective lens)
are the most common type
used.
With so many knives on
the market today, selecting
the proper hunting knife can
be confusing. Guynn says a
five-inch blade is plenty
large for dressing and skinn-
ing deer. Many hunters, in
fact, use a small “pocket”
knife for field dressing pur-
poses. For skinning only, a
curved blade is well suited.
Top quality steel knives are
usually more expensive than
economy models, but hold
their sharp edge and are
more durable.
Boots, too, are integral
parts of the hunter’s regalia.
Guynn recommends comfor-
table boots that are well
broken in. Vibram or crepe
soles, he says, are good
choices for providing good
footing. Slick leather soles
are fine for dancing to the
“Cotton Eyed Joe” or “Fad-
ed Love” after the hunt, but
are inappropriate and
dangerous while in the deer
stand. Also, choose boots
large enough to allow for
heavy wool socks in cold
weather, the specialist says.
Clothes may very well
“make the man” in the
business world, but not on a
deer hunt. Guynn prefers the
“layered approach” with
sweater, vest and light
jacket which can be easily
removed or added as
temperatures change during
the day. Bright colors that
can be easily detected by
deer are to be avoided. Even
though deer are color blind,
they easily spot differences
in color intensity such as
white, bright yellow, etc. In-
stead, wear muted colors
such as greens, browns,
camoflage, dull reds or red
and black check which blend
with brush cover. Guynn
says blaze orange may be
worn as a safety precaution
where heavy hunting
pressure exists.
Soft textured clothing per-
mits quiet movement for
stalking prey. Brush scrap-
ing against stiff canvas pant
legs can alarm deer as can
the “swish-swish” sound of
pant legs rubbing together
as the hunter walks.
