FOOTBALL Wishbone creates problems Victory over Richland oppeoses season by Allen Payne Most spectators and students consider junior varsity athletics as just an excuse to get out of the house on Thursday nights, but to the 40 players on the team, Thursday nights were more than just a social occasion. The squad was led by quarterback Tal Sanders and by fullback jimmy Holder, who transferred from Richland and at the com- pletion ofthe season, returned to Richland. Another junior transfer from Richland who provided outstanding defensive play was Scott McCrory, said defensive coach john Pafford. Other standouts for the junior varsity, ac- cording to Coachjay Thompson, were Keith jones, and Brent Daniels who led a tough defense, which allowed just 120 yards a game. The new offense, brought in by Coach jerry Sanders, called the wishbone, seemed to have its problems early in the season. The junior varsity was unaccustomed to the new offense with the single wing attack where the quarterback is underneath the center and an option attack is run where previously a power attack was run. But they progressed along at a steady pace culminating with a sweeping victory over our cross-creek rivals from Rebelland. This was a season of not many wins on the board but left each player and coach all the confidence of what the future has in store for us. Any ofthe games the junior var- sity lost with a few breaks they could have won. Next year and the year after they plan on making those breaks, said Coach Pafford. A lunioi-F !

STATE FAIR G mnasts Compete for money at Fair Unlike most fair-goers,jROTC and gymnastics team attend to perform specific tasks By Kim Allen Something for everyone! With the theme Around the World in '8O, the Texas State Fair did have something to capture the in- terest of almost anyone. A turn of the head revealed another car- nival ride, game booth, or exhibit building. If hunger struck, a tasty variety Of food was available - pizza, hamburgers, German food, and even tacoritas, a unique combina- tion of tacos and burritos. Those whose interest ran to performances had mariy options to choose from: An Ara- bian horse show, the Dr. Pepper Circus, and a laser-light exhibition each delighted audiences. The Reserve Officer Training Corps, who had considered forming a drill team, observ- ed The Army and Marine drill teams display their abilities and collected ideas for future drill routines. Members of VICA, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, simply enjoyed a day at the fair. Mr. Ron Kuhleman, drafting in- structor, coordinated the Ilaltom-Richland field-trip for CVAE, Cooperative Vocational and Academic Education, classes. The gymnastics team. under the direction of Coach Roland Rangle, participated in the Marines Physical Fitness Competition, which offered monetary prizes to the top six KCHITIS. Although the Haltom gymnasts missed the finals by one place, Coach Rangle felt that the team did excellent considering that, unlike all the finalists, they had never been in that competition before. Events tested strength and endurance. Points were determined by the number of pushups and situps that were accomplished. Seniorjames Campbell led the team, scoring 517 points of a possible 500. Senior Carol Chapman, riding her Ten- nessee Walker Ebony Motion, won a blue ribbon at the fairground coliseumn-, .
