Clifton lost the home-and-home coin toss and will
have to travel to Brady Friday night, but local fans have
more confidence in the Cubs’ grid ability than in the
nickel flipping prowess of school officials, so a long
caravan is expected to trail out to West Texas Friday
evening.

Actually it isn’t that far, and
can be driven in less than 3
hours. Game time is 8 p.m.
Best route as suggested by
Cliftonians who travel regularly
through that country is: Clifton
through Cranfills Gap to Hamil-
ton, then down Highway 281 to
Evant, then west from Evant to
Goldthwaite and south to San
Saba, then west on U. S. 190 to
Brady.
Brady's Black and Gold Bull-
dogs have a similar record to
Clifton this season, but this team
is big, strong and fast, some-
thing the Cubs are also used to
facing.
While the Cubs have an 8-2 sea-
son record; Brady has an 8-1-1
record. They lost to Coleman,
10-0, in a non-conference game,
and tied in district with Llano,
21-21. They share their District
9-AA title with Llano, by virtue
ol a 5-1 penetration edge in that
game.
The eight teams they have
beaten this season include Ballin-
■'ger, ■ Fredericksburg, M^tfil,
Kerrville, San Saba, Junction,
Burnet, and Marble Falls (see
scores on grid page; see Brady
starting offense photo inside).
The Cubs have a better offen-
sive scoring and defensive re-
sistance records than does Brady,
but this means little, because
we’ve played no common oppo-
nents this season. Clifton has
scored 285 points while holding
all their opponents to a total of
115. Brady has scored 212, and
allowed 139 against them.
The Bulldogs will split an end
and flanker and have two split
backs. Terry Penn is a left-hand-
ed passer and a good one. He
favors Willie Jones as a deep
receiver. Terry’s brother Kenny
handles the punting chores. He
is left-footed and has a 70-yarder
to his credit this year.
M. C. Routt is the biggest Bull-
dog — tipping the scales at 239.
Kyzar and Robinett are top de-
fenders, both play linebackers.
The Bulldogs know pressure.
Prior to the Mable Falls g-»me
they had won seven games by a
total of 32 points. Of these three
were by one point.
Clifton School Supt. Kent Apple-
by announced this week that he
has distributed 496 reserved seat
tickets ($2.00 each) which are
on sale now at all the Clifton
drug stores, and that he has 300
student tickets. Tickets will be
$2.00 at the gate.
Clifton fans will sit on the east
side of the field.

W. R. (BOB) POAGE
... 34 Year* In Congress
W. R. Pooge To
Be Honored at
Banquet Dec. 7
Congressman W. R. (Bob)
Poage will be honored at an ap-
preciation banquet Monday even-
ing, December 7, for his 34 years
service in Congress and for iiis
efforts in the field of technical
education.
The banquet will climax a full
day’s activities open to the pub-
lic on the campus of the Texas
State Technical Institute to in-
clude an open house and an af-
ternoon reception where propos-
ed plans for the W. R. Poage
Land Technology Center will be
shown.
The new facility named for
Poage will be constructed on a
15-acre plot on the James Con-
nally Campus of TSTI. Estimated
cost of the center to be com-
pleted in the spring of 1973 is
between three and five million
dollars.
More than 300 persons from
across the nation are expected
to attend the banquet at Ridge-
wood Country club to pay tri-
bute to the Congressman. The
theme for the evening will' be
“Beat Swords into Plowshares’’.
Poage, a native of Waco, has
been instrumental in both techni-
cal education in Texas and in
the field of agriculture. Througn
his leadership in the U. S. House
of Representatives, James Con-
nally Tech was created and the
subsequent development of tho
state's first technical institute
came about when TSTI was
established.
Dr. Roy Dugger, president of
TSTI, said, “Co-----
Poage’s efforts in

lopment and growth
has truly shown a continued
terest in the training of men
women for the technical
work.
