THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS Abilene, Sunday Morning. January 28, 197t Wall, Early Clinch Titles By VERLE ENGLERTH Sports Writer Classic battles are shaping up around the Big Country in Classes AAAA through but Wall in 9-A and Early in 10-A have just about waltzed home Meanwhile, Coleman contin- to pick up steam in 9-AA, but the top battles this week 'see Bowie at Breckenridge Friday in a game that'll go a long way toward deciding the 10-AA title and key 8-A contests with Aspermont and Wylie battling toward a district playoff. Wylie won the first half of 8-A action, but Aspermont defeated the Bulldogs at Wylie Tuesday to gain an upper hand in second half play. Coach Bob Moore's Snyder Tigers have been impressive in rolling to a 3-0 mark in 4- AAAA in this Snyder's first year in the big leagues. Burkburnett is 2-0 in 4-AAA second half play and looks toward a sweep of the'dlstrict to avert a playoff.

Burk took the initial half of play with a 0-1 record. Lamesa continues to hold a vice-like grip on the 3-AAA ranks, while Big Country representatives Sweetwater and Colorado City are still finding the going a little rough. Childress appears too tough in 2-AA action as remains undefeated but Anson and Hamlin are still going at it tooth-and-nail in C-AA. Anson has the upper hand in first half play, having won the title Saturday night with a 6763 win over Winters in a makeup game. Both Anson and Hamlin opened second half play with narrow wins.

28. The Cowboys end the season in the Air Academy tourney. Abilene, Christian College footballer Wolfgang HaLbig is officiating bas. He teamed with Peaches Bridges to call the H-SU and UTA freshman game. That game Tuesday, incidentally, was reduced to 24-minutes when the goals had to be adjusted, taking up allotted time for full 40-minute game.

week's letter is from Joe Bailey of 'Brownwood: "In this busy world that we live in we so often neglect to count the good things in life and I know your time will not allow you to listen to all the things that your readers have to say, but please let me say this. "I am President of the Early Independent School District, and we have one of the best basketball teams in the Class A district. Now the point I want to make is that we appreciate very much the good report you and your paper have given us. I am not one to run my hometown of Brownwood down but my Scrap Book is filled with clippings from the Abilene paper, for some reason or other our local paper never gives Early any publicity. So in behalf of our good people in Early, want to thank you for the recognition you and your paper give us from time to time.

If you could happen in the office of our school at any time you would find the Abilene Reporter-News being read. "Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness. "P.S. Just in case you might want to know--our team is 7-0." Now, Joe our job is always to listen closely to our readers. Heaven forbid, if a sports writer ever gets loo busy to listen to anyone, any time.

Do appreciate your kind words and the time you have taken to let us know about Early and its fine team. Bill Stovall is a fine sports editor In Brownwood, so I certainly hope you don't use this as a bribe. Coach Ken Pair at Cisco Junior College sends along a letter he received from Coach John of Stephen Austin Stale University concerning the NCAA interpretation of the new recruiting rules. Also, running back Dick Austin is going to play for SFA next year. Coach Levra says: "1 talked lo Hie NCAA office and their interpretation of the new rules are: I.

The High School will determine which grade on a student's transcript count lo- ward his overall GPA (Grade Point Aver- age). If he has a 2.0, he will be eligible for an NCAA scholarship. It is entirely dependent upon the individual high school. 2. The'recruitment of only 30 football players will begin next recruiting season, not now.

3. The junior college transfer rule is: a. If a student-athlete graduates from junior college, he is eligible for NCAA participation immediately. b. If he has a minimum of 48 semester hours, with a 2.5 for two semesters, he is is eligible for participation.

c. If he has a minimum of 36 semester hours with an overall 2.25 for three semesters, he is eligible immediately. d. If he has a minimum of 24 semester hours, with a 2.5 for two semesters, he eligible immediately." Coach Levra points out also that summer school terms cannot be counted. The 2-point system is graded on a graduated 4-point system.

In other words 2.0 is equal lo a average. Nebraska's first experience with 30-second dock (in use for all Big Eight games this season and against outside visitors by consent) gave the only 30-second violation to visiting TCU. Frog coach Jim Swaim said of his visit and the three officials being used in (he game, "they didn't see as many fouls as (hose working in the Southwest. They call the game a lot closer in our part of the country. If you saw some nf cur players arguing, it was because Ihey couldn't believe the contact that was allowed.

But that's what you go on the road for to gain experience."

However, the Bluecats must once again defeat tough Comanche to gain a clear-cut title. Bowie is expected to be 5-1 when it hits Breckenridge Friday night. Coach Bobby Campbell's Buckaroos have rebounded from a pair of league opening setbacks and will host the Jackrabbits with a 3-2 mark and a chance to have a shot at tying Bowie for the league title when it's all over and done. Burnet is too tough in 24-AA and is cruising at 6-0 while Brady is floundering at 0-6 after a series of close losses. Knox City and Paducah are heading for a showdown in 7-A, but Wall is 7-0 in 9-A and just waiting for the crown.

Early has closed out the 10-A race after a i Ranger Friday night. The Longhorns are 8-0 in district, while Bangs Is 5-2 and Ranger now 5-3. Hico remains undaunted in 11-A with its 7-0 record, but Glen Rose is challenging at 6-1. Showdown is set Tuesday when the two teams meet at Hico in a contest that'll decide who gains bi-district play. Schroeder Wins Meet CORPUS CHRISTI Abilene's Ann Schroeder of Cooper High School swept the Championship division title in the Corpus Christ! Invitational tennis tournament here Saturday.

Ann captured first place in her flight by defeating Michele Dodier in three sets for the title. Earlier Saturday in the semifinals, she outdid Linda Marks of Houston Memorial. Miss Schroeder drew a first round bye in the girls' A singles, and then disposed of Katheryn Carter and Debbie Dalglish. In the quarterfinals, she beat Carol Reiger of San Antonio. a Schroeder, Ann's brother, made it to the quarterfinals Friday before being eliminated by Tony Giammalva of Houston.

Moocfy keeps head down Orville Moody, trying to charge into the lead at the Bing Crosby open, keeps his eyes riveted on the ground long after hitting his tee shot on the fourth hole at Cypress Point Saturday. Moody made up four strokes to overtake Billy Casper and gain the lead at Pebble Beach, Calif. (AP Wirephoto) Moody Overtakes Ailing Casper BEACH, Calif. (AP) Jack Nicklaus, the man almost everyone expected to win, was asked if ha could make up a five-stroke deficit in Sunday's final round of the $205,000 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am Golf Tournament. "Look at the: board," he said with a gesture toward the big scoreboard recording the three rounds of this unique tournament.

"I made up seven strokes today--with a 71." He was aided by the collapse of Billy Casper, the leader through 36 holes, who blew to a horrendous 78 Saturday and let 01' Sarge Orville Moody vault into the 54-hole lead.
