18 Rangerettes perform in Houston After a successful trip to Venezuela in May, the Rangerettes added another feather to their cap when they performed Sept. 5 at the Music Hall in Houston for the national convention of Field Enterprises Corporation. An audience of 2500 representatives from Canada, Japan, Korea, European countries and the United States greeted the Rangerettes as they strutted in to the Ranger Fight Song. Included in the presentation was the high kick, two dance routines and the traditional flag routine to the music of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. They were given a standing ovation. That evening, the girls were guests of honor at the Ice Capades show in Sam Houston Coliseum. This year the Ice Capades have placed in their acts one routine which uses the famous Rangerettes as their theme. The costumes used by the skaters are copies of the copyrighted Rangerette uniform with one exception . . . the Ice Capade performers' costumes are of solid bugle beads made at the cost of $800 each. After the performance, the Ice Capade skaters were hosts for a party honoring the Kilgore Rangerettes. A A. Dr. Watson greets Clifford MacCraham, assistant choreographer.

A. The Navarro Bulldogs, under the leadership of Ken Gillespie, upset the Rangers in their season opener at Corsicana. Two field goals in the first quarter gave the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead. A few plays later, Claude Barnes took the ball and from a yard out stormed over for a KC touchdown. Bobby Matkin ran a fake kick for the PAT giving the Rangers an 8-6 edge. Less than a minute later, the Bulldogs scored on a 15 yard sweep by Harold Green. Gillespie ran for the two point conversion. Then, Gillespie hit Keith Thomas for a 26 yard TD. The PAT was good, and the Bulldogs led 21-8 at the half. In the fourth period, the Rangers scored on a seven yard pass from Buddy Hawkins to Chris Breuleux. The extra point failed, and the score stood at 21-14. Navarro scored last on a goal line plunge by Green. The PAT was good making the final score 28-14. 0. 20 7HV
