FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER IS 7f A COPY son's little A rollicking roster of Hearne Eagles really lived it up on Wood Field last Friday night, lambasting the Navasota Rattlers 40-0 before a delighted capacity crowd of home-towners. What was supposed to be a major test for Coach Ken Bat- Eagles turned out to be more than a short quiz. Hearne rolled for a net of 870 yards on the ground compared to Navasota's 76. Passes yielded 137 yards for the locals while the Rattler's picked up 38.

IT WAS A PASS from Hearne QB Simon Martinez to HB Butch Reed that put the Eagles out in front and the Rattlers off-balance. With the game less than two minutes old Reed took a toss from Martinez, neatly faked a cut-back then jackrabbited down the right sidelines for a 74-yard touchdown. Martinez's pass to end Tommy Dotson failed to get the extra points. Less than two minutes later the Eagles tallied again on an 18- yard jaunt by Martinez and added two more points to their score by a Martinez to Butch Reed pass. The Eagle's enthusiasm grew.

and 10 yards. The try for extra points on all three second-half scores failed. With Navasota obviously set to spoil the Eagle passing attack, QB Martinet and his understudy Chester Russell successfully employed wide pitch-outs, deceptive ball handling and quick-opening jabs at the line. A TIGHT FORWARD wall of Eagle linemen gave the backs plenty of time for their deceptive maneuvers. Eagle halfback O.

B. Fowler turned in 99 yards on 10 tries at the Navasota line, QB Martinez carried 4 times for 36 yards and completed 3 out of 5 passes for 98 yards. HB Butch Reed received two passes for a gain of 89 yards and was credited wth 32 yards on 6 rushing plays. Death Claims Mrs. Osborne Funeral services for Mrs.

The Eagle defensive effort was impressive. Linemen Ronnie Reed, Craig Hawthorne, Tommy Dotson, Sammy Altimore, Pete Trentacost, Weldon Kirk and J. B.

Young operated as a unit, snuffing out Rattler lunges at the line with obvious thoroughness. Navasota's principal offensive halfback Hunty Swanson, was held to a net gain of 45 yards for is carries. ON THE NAVASOTA side of the line 150-pound guard, M. Moore was an outstanding performer. STATISTICS OF THE GAME Hemrne 17 270 12 5 137 2 2 for 68 yds.

m. THIS AWARD IS designed by the Scout movement to enable a young man to know more about his church. He passed the requirements which were drawn up by The Protestant Committee on Scouting. Many requirements are found under these general divisions: Christian faith, witness, world out-reach, citizenship, and fellowship. Milton attended the Fifth National Jamboree held in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1960 and is a patrol leader of his troop.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Strong. Hearne's brush with Hurricane Carla was chiefly confined to care of evacuees, interrupted ctrical and telephone service, scattered wind damage, and wide-spread damage to a bumper cotton crop. Acting Police Chief R.

L. Perkins was able to place approximately 100 people in private homes after Hearne's tourist facilities filled up Saturday evening. Another 130-150 were provided shelter in the American Legion Hall and in a building behind Hancock's Grocery through the efforts of the local American Legion post and the Hearne Saddle Club. In addition large numbers of coastal residents stayed with Hearne relatives and friends during the emergency. IT BECAME APPARENT Saturday night that the wave of evacuees would reach Hearne as facilities nearer the coast began to fill up.

Sunday morning Perkins issued a call through the churches for listing of homes in which evacuees could be housed. "The response was wonderful; everyone cooperated perfectly," said Perkins adding that he could have placed 200 more people easily. Storm losses to area cotton farmers varies widely depending on whether the cotton had been defoliated or still had the protection of the leaves. Vocational agriculture teacher Leon Tomlin estimated that in defoliated cotton around bale per acre had been blown out of the bole. The reduction in grade would amount to around $20 per bale, Tomlin said.

LOSSES ON COTTON which had not been defoliated was described by Tomlin as "not too bad." One farmer, however, estimated that storm damage to his cot- See CARLA. 5, Communist Film Shown Rotarians A film, "Operation Abolition," shown to members of the average national farm whichever is lower. wage, home of Mrs. P.
