B-Team Lacks Depth

TIPS for the

Page 3 , Sec. 1
Faced with the prospect of
a lack of depth, Coach Ken Mays
has been sending his B.team
through their paces this past
Week. With help from B-team
assistants Waymond Griggs and
Jim Clark, Mays started the
Bees off with contact work from
the start. He eased up a bit
Friday morning and had the

squad working on the kicking
game.
Zane Nutt, a big guard held
over from last year’s squad
is out with an injured shoulder
and will not see action for an
indefinite time. Larry- Comin-
sky, husky center was also
ailing Friday and was held out
of contact work.
Clark, who regularly handles
the seventh grade team, is as-
siting with the B-team until
school starts. His squad won’t
report until then.
Mays said this is one of the
smallest squads he has had and
indicated that the double header
scheduled with Pecos would
have to be cut to one game.
“We just don’t have the boys
available to pl.y two gaunes,”
he said. With a bigger squad
last year the two teams played
two games on one day, but
Mays still said it was a rough
go.
The Bees will travel with
the A squad to Lamesa, August
29 for a scrimmage with the
Tornados. The season opens
with Crane here on Saturday,
Sept. 10.
Football fans will benefit
from this year’s schedule in
that the Bees play seven home
games with three away. Last
year only three home games
were on the schedule.
Mays listed 32 boys on his
roster with perhaps a few to
be picked up when school be-
gins.

Ector Eagles Could Repeat As
District Champions This Year
The Ector Eagles sprung a lot
°f surprises on several folks
last fall and ended up with the
first football district champion-
ship in the school’s history.
The Eagles were rated as a
factor in the race before the
season started last year, but
they weren’t given much of a
chance to overtake Monahans,
Andrews and Kermit.

Kermit Lady BeesandEagles
of Odessa were the winners in
the Tuesday night tournament
games played at Little League
Field. The Eagles got 13 runs
off of 12 hits in 26 times at
bat, to dump the Rockets 13-3.
The game was called at the
close of five and one-half inn-
ings due to the ten-run rule.
The Eagle pitcher, Thornton
allowed only one hit.
Rocket’s pitcher, Sofge, al-
lowed 12 hits, with the Eagles
taking advantage of the edge,
scoring two runs in the first
inning, five in the fourth, six
in the sixth. Shadle, Atkinson,
Cooper and Byford knocked two-
baggers with Cooper doing a
repeat performance and Atkin-
son coming back for a triple.
Weatherbee was the only hit-
ter for the Golden Rockets,
with Mullis and McCorkle do-
ing the scoring.
In the second game, Tues-
day night, Kermit’s Lady Bees
scored 7 to Wickett’s 3, with
Roe getting a two-bagger and
Myers, a triple.
Adcock was the winning
pitcher, allowed nine hits for
three runs with some strong
defensive play on the part of
her team. Dearman, the los-
ing pitcher, allowed six hits
which the Lady Bees made good
use of running in seven scores.

TOTALS 29
They beat both Monahans and
Kermit, and lost to Andrews
only after they had the district
championship cinched.
Other coaches are going to be
taking a long serious look at the
Eagles this year and Coach Jim
Payne may find his job just a
little bit tougher as a result.
Payne lost 14 lettermen, in-
cluding some exceptionally tal-
ented starters, but he has 25
lettermen back. This figure is
a bit deceiving since it includes
those, boys who lettered last
year at Blackshear High School
’and have indicated they prob-
ably will play football this fall
at Ector.
The Eagles have been made a
solid second-place choice in the
District 2-AAA race this year
behind top-heavy favorite An-
drews. All but one of the coaches
polled, not including Payne,
picked Ector second. The lone
dissenter had them third behind
Andrews and Kermit.
Much of this confidence shown
by the other coaches probably
stems from the fact that Ector
will pick up several promising
athletes from the merger with
Blackshear. The problem is how
well and how quickly they will
be able to work into Ector’s
system.
As he has in recent years,
Payne plans to go with an of-
fense built around the “pro-
set.” This has been particular-
ly effective in years when the
Eagles were smaller than the
other teams and had to take to
the air to move the ball ef-
fectively.
One of the most important
components in this type of of-
fense is the quarterback. The
Eagles should have two good
ones this year. Arturo Spen-
cer developed into a very ef-
fective roll • out quarterback
last year when subbing for the
injured Eddie Dominguez. He
throws the ball well enough and
is a good runner. However, he
may get some competition from
Clarence Redic (6-0, 183) and
a three-year letterman at quar-
terback for Blackshear. Redic
is an exceptionally strong
thrower and has good speed.
The Eagles have six return-
ing lettermen at halfback, but
one of the best prospects of
the bunch may be up from the
B team.
Adolfo Nabarrette (5-6, 150)
was a starter last year and is
a nifty runner once he gets
into the open field. Jimmy Davis
has picked up two letters, but he
is primarily a defensive back.
Coming up from Blackshear are
Arthur Brown, 1 • year let-
terman, and Charles Lewis, 2*
year letterman.
However, Johnny Gentry, a
9.7 sprinter who played on the
B team last year could de-
velop into an outstanding half-
back although he is on the small
side (5-8, 140).
Again this year it appears the
Eagles aren’t going to have a
big, strong fullback. Only two
lettermen are David Reyes (5-9,
160) and Wilmer Walker (5-10,
162) from Blackshear.
A big problem in the back-
field is going to be finding
someone to fill the shoes of
pass - catching wizard David
Moss, who has moved to the
University of Tulsa.
The situation at ends could be
a bit shaky at the start. The
Eagles were pretty well clean-
ed out by graduation. They have
Oscar Gonzales (5-11, 151) and
James Owen (5-11, 160). Corn-
elius Evans lettered two years
at Blackshear, while Aaron
Stewart, Willie Taylor and Mau-
rice Thurman each picked up
one letter.
Center position looks pretty
good. Two lettermen, Jimmy
Humphrey and Dick Meadows,
are available. Then there is
sophomore Alan Toles, who
Payne considers one of his
best newcomers.
At tackle there’s Johnny
Chavez, a 2-year letterman who
could play a key role for the
Eagles if his knee holds up.
Robert Franco (6-0, 225) and
Tommy McRoy (5*11, 175) are
1-year lettermen who will be
back. Harold Stuart, a 5-9, 175-
pound transfer from Black-
shear, is expected to do an out-
standing job so the tackle sit-
uation could be solid.
There’s a couple of fine ones
at guard in Andy Beam (5-7,
150, 2 letters) and Mike Chamb-
lin (5-10, 180, 1 letter). Jerry
Echols (5-8, 183) lettered last
year at Blackshear.
Payne says the main strengths
of his ball club this yearwill
be the passing ability of the
quarterback and unusual depth.
However, the Eagles are not
going to be big and he believes
this will be a draw back in this
district.
Ector shapes up as a definite
threat to repeat as District 2-
AAA champion if some of the
newcomers perform as ex-
pected, and the Eagles get a
couple of breaks.
