SEEPING SAND SERIOUS—When parking on the
beaches, never stop with the rear wheels of your car in
the water, even though it may only be an inch deep.
Wave action will cause the tires to bury themselves in a
matter of minutes .. . and you’ll be stuck so tight, a two-
ton ti*uck will be needed to pull you free.
***
MEASURING A FISH—If you are in doubt about the
legal length of a fish and you don’t have a ruler (just
haul out a cigarette. A standard-size filter-tip cigarette,
unsmoked of course, is three and three-eights inches
long . . . maybe a little millimeter longer.

BIRDS LURE BIRDS—When waterfowl, other than
ducks and geese, light among your decoys, don’t frighten
them away. They lend realism to the rig and increase its
drawing power. Even blackbirds and ricebirds perched on
the brush around your blind lend an air of security . . .
indicating that all is well for ducks and geese to come in.

One of the most promising
bits of news to come out of the
sports picture recently, has
been the performance of one of
Coach Ken Mays’ hurlers. Del-
egated to the junior varsity at
the beginning of the season,
freshman Larry Logan has
emerged as one of the hottest
prospects to hit the scene since
Luis Hernandez had a similar
record when he made his var-
sity debut. Thursday night, at
Eunice, playing in the Eunice
Tournament, Logan performed
like a seasoned veteran, setting
the Lovington Wildcats down on
four hits and one unearned run.
His control was also excellent,
and he didn’t get flustered in the
clutches. The Jackets backed
him up with an 11-run outburst
to ease ,+hings along. In a recent
effort, Logan hurled the junior
varsity to a 1-0 win over the
Odessa junior varsity, allow-
ing only one hit. He’ll bear
watching. , , Gidd Faircloth,
who left Winkler County Coun-
try Club in October to take over
golf pro duties at Dimmitt, has
returned to the area. He has
accepted the pro job at Sunset
Country Club in Odessa, and
will assume his duties April 1.
Hank Brinker, head man at
Sunset, says Gidd worked for
him in the mid-fifties and he
knows what kind of job he can
do. We played the Sunset course
when the clubhouse consisted
of a trailer house and a few
sets of clubs, which were rent-
ed out to golfers who didn’t
possess some of their own. It
has come a long way, and the
reason must be there is no nicer
man in the business than Brink-
er . Getting back to Luis
Hernandez, the slim lefty has
been having arm trouble this
spring, and he received a shot
of cortisone this week to see
if it would help. On Thursday,
he told Mays that It felt real
good and he is anxious to test
it under fire. If the treatment
works, the Jackets will be in
fine shape to start District
2-AAA competition. With Her-
nandez, Logan, Tim Peden and
Tim Moore on the firing line,
the Kermit team should be a
major contender for the title...
When the Ft. Stockton basket-
ball team headed for the Llano
River recently on their annual
fishing trip, they took along
a younger and much shorter
fisherman, somewhat of a mas-
cot. Young Barry McCallister
turned out to be much more
than an observer, however, and

ELECT L.K. (LON) STEWARD
To the Kermit City Council on April the 5th
_ _ (Paid Political)
L.K. (Lon) Steward
pulled out a 4V2»poundbass, the
largest catch of the weekend.,,
FISH ON THE LAWN — Two
South Carolina men spent a
long day fishing on their favor-
ite river, and headed their boat
homeward with nothing to show
for their efforts. As they ap-
proached the dock, a fish jump-
ed out of the water and landed
on a pile of floating grass.
While the fish struggled to free
himself, the anglers scooped
him from the grass into the
boat. The largemouth bass
weighed in at nearly 8V2 pounds.
N ext time, the men plan to use
lawn clippings for bait . . .
BASKET BASE — A group of
Oklahoma youngsters were try-
ing their luck at a city lake
recently when one of them had
a bite. Thirteen-year-old Ralph
Ross reeled in the catch and
got quite a surprise. Not only
was a small wastebasket on
the hook, but inside were two
very much alive catfish. . .
COLOR SAFETY —A safety
measure developed by the Fed-
eral Cartridge Corporation is
the color-coding of shotgun
shells to prevent mismatches
in the field. The new shells
are made with brilliant plastic
or paper tubes—red for 12-
gauge, purple for 16-gauge,
yellow for 20-gauge. Aim of the
safety coloring is to prevent
the insertion of smaller gauge
shells in larger gauge guns,
which often has disastrous re-
sults for careless shooters. ..
DRESSED TO KILL — Some
men may take hunting a little
too seriously. Take the Wis-
consin fellow who was all dress-
ed up in a tuxedo to serve as
best man at a wedding. While
driving through a wooded area,
he spotted a large buck. The
season was open, and he had his
rifle. So he bagged the deer.
A newspaper considered the in-
cident a worthy subject, and
snapped his picture. It might
prove embarrassing for the
hunter, though. It seenis Wis-
consin law strictly requires
wearing red, orange or yellow
clothing while deer hunting,
and a tuxedo is none of these.

Title Hopes
In one of the most hectic
contests of the year, Monahans’
volleyball team eked out a win
over Kermit in Monahans Fri-
day night to take a strangle-
hold on first place in the Dis-
trict 2-AAA race.
All the winners have to do is
win their last game of the
season Tuesday, to pick up all
the marbles. The two teams
were tied with 7-1 recoup going
into the Friday game, W
Kermit was ahead in the first
game, when time ran out, but
Manahans came back to win,

sided contest, Nikki Peden

ACTION A-PLENTY—There was plenty of action at the Ker-
mit-Monahans volleyball games Priday night at the Monahans
gym, with the host team winning both varsity and junior varsity
contests. In the top photo Phyllis Butler goes high to spike
one over the net in the varsity game, while Kay Logan (66)
