DR. J. E. MILLER
called off in mid-December.
Hie Texas Water Commission
on February 28 gave informal
approval to a study for a iarger
reservoir system as proposed by
the City of Irving.
Question Raised
At the February meeting Irv-
aig representatives pushed for
consideration of a 310,000 acre-
foot reservoir through the adop-
tion of a gated spillway, manual-
ly, rather than a natural gravity
How spillway.
Sail to he decided is the at-
titude of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, the agency that
will construct the dam, on the
gated spillway issue, since in the
words of Corps officials, such
pillways add problems to the
flood control measures built in-
to such dams.
Although the TWC did at the
February meeting designate the
Sulphur River Municipal Water
District as one contracting
agency along with the North
Texas Municipal Water Disirict
and the City of Irving, there
still apparently is some question
as to when the Corps can pro-
ceed wiih planning on the dam.
At i sue is which comes firs..
a water permit for contracting
agencies, issued by the Texas
Water Commission, or the sign-
ed contract between the agencies
and the Corps of Engineers.
The designation of the three
•ventual contracting agencies
was only tentatively accepted by
Corps officials at the Austin
meeting.
No Permits Issued

been named by coaches to the
ail-Lone Star conference first
team
Miller has been the mainstay
of the Lion offense and defense
for the past two years after
playing in practically all games
as a sophomore and in 13 games
as a freshman. Coach Norman
I ilgrim rated him the best in
the conference and a strong
nominee for all-American hon-
ors A year ago Miller received
honorable mention in the NAIA
all-American poll.
The slender pivotman — he
stands 6-4 and weighs in at 185
pounds—was the top rebounder
in the conference the past two
seasons with an average of 11.3
per game this season, off just a
hair from last year’s 12.04 per
game. In terms of totals, he has
grabbed 748 rebounds in four
seasons with 16 as a freshman,
112 as a sophomore, 325 as a
junior and 295 as a senior. Thi.-',
despite the fact that he nearly
always had to rebound against a
taller and heavier opponent. His
best this season was 21 in the
season-opener against John
Henry Young and his Midwest-
ern mates.
Co-captain this year with Rich-
ard Sullivan, Miller has provid-
ed the leadership that helped
carry the Lions to a Lone Star
conference title and an over-all
16-10 record.
Miller paced the Lion scoring
this year in seven different
games with his personal high of
27 points coming in the semifinal
win over Texas Wesleyan in the
Cotton Bowl A.A.U. tournament.
In four years as a Lion Miller
has scored 933 points, 401 coming
as a junior, 344 as a senior, 168
as a sophomore and 20 as a
freshman,
"Whitney is so fast and has so
m°ves that he sometimes
fakes his team mates out,” Coach
PL »» ■ »
........... Hum saia a year ago
when he was Coach Pilgrim’s
assistant.
Miller was usually assigned
can Phil Shirk every time for
three years and held him well
below his scoring average in all
except one game. Coach Ted
Carley of the Javelinas rated
Miller the toughest man in the
conference and one of his per-
sonal nominees for all-American
honors.
Whitney has been a good
man to coach.” Coach Pilgrim
said recently. “I sure hate to see
him finish up. He was the heart
of both our offense and defense.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Manton
Miller, he is completing his final
year of a four-year basketball
scholarship at ET. A 1960 gradu-
ate of Cooper High School, Mil-
ler played basketball four years
for the Bulldogs, and was named
to the All-District team and
received Ail-State Honorable
Mention his senior year.
Miller paced the Bulldog team
in 1960 in both scoring and re-
bounding. He had 214 rebounds
that season and scored 316
points, averaging 13.9 points per
game.

Water Board Meets
The SRMWD Board met _.
day in Sulphur Springs al
with officials from Sul'p-
Springs, Cooper and Comme]
The need for a revision of wt
storage space by the three ci|
was discussed.
A deadline of Friday
established to revise ear|
estimates on water needs in
event a larger reservoir, as
posed by the City of Irvingl
accepted by the U.S. Army Coi
of Engineers.
Need for a revision of stora
space requests is brought aU
by the fact that water yie
figures from a given space
less in a larger reservoir,
to obtain approximately
same amount of water from 1
larger reservoir, more storaJ
space must be purchased.
Figures Misleading?
Preliminary figures indical
that a cost per acre drops inf
larger reservoir, but there is
the possibility that the cost
not drop enough to offset ».
needed increase in storage spat
At the Monday meet in,
SRMWD Board chairman Bre*
Tarter of Commerce refused ,
allow discussion of how a large
reservoir might effect the cost
storage.
Cooper Amends Request
Cooper has on file a requs
for 5,000 acre feet of storage
space in the Cooper Reservoir,
In a called meeting of the Coun^
cil Tuesday evening, a resolutior
was passed to request enough
storage to produce a yield
1 500 acre feet for present use
and 5,000 acre feet for future
supply. .
Commerce and Sulphur SpringJ
t-ity Commissions also met Tues-
day night. Commerce stayed I
L5 Onntheir °riginal request of
15,000 acre feet of water stor-
age^ No announcement has been
made from Sulphur Springs. The
resolutions will be presented to
he Water Board in a meeting
9 ThVTy SCt f°r today’ March
19 „The Texas Water Commission
will then receive and consider
he revised or supplementary
requests. J
With the latest delay in fur-
ther hearings in Austin on the
Cooper Dam, it now appears
that it will be at least mid-1964
before even a contract can be
signed on the project, after
which time the engineers will
have to seek further federal
planning funds.
