Wiehman, in the Queen City with western artist and outdoor writer Jim Thomas of Amarillo, planned another go at the Big Friendly reservoir today. The high school Ram Band and the Belles rang true despite the rain drops that kept falling, on their heads during the halftime show at Lake View. The music was both spirited and entertaining and the dance-precision m. routine was well performed and applauded by Del Rio If UP travelers and host fans alike. Also the Ram cheerleaders, operating in the wet grass along the side lines, were game-long inspirations, making the whole Del Rio musical-dance routine, rooting bit an integral part of the night's grid game.

With 3:12 left to halftime the rain began lightly and spayed the special units from Del Rio right on through the intermission revue. All got through the tricky footing on the football field without a slip of foot or note and did a fine job. We quickly explained to an inquisitive San Angeloan that our Ram Band members wiD soon be in blue and white when the new uniforms get here when he asked about the difference in colors out there. District Teams Win Four Games Brie Brae Attached to the Lake View game there were several calls by officials which were rather odd. There was even an infraction ruled with no flag thrown.

Also Del Rio's physical contractor George McFarlen and a Chief player were asked to sit out the waning minutes and McFarlen says he did nothing more than to straighten up to defend himself in case the Lake View lad nad ideas of continuing his extra curricular hitting. One call was so inexplicable that nobody, including the Rams on the playing field understood what all the delay and confab by the officials was all about. Also one of the officials told a Ram that "Well call the ball game the way we see" when asked merely to watch for face-mask grabbing by a certain Chief. -Also connected with the contest and looking through the peep-hole on the camera I thought I saw the Ram ball carriers miss running directly into the hole drilled by the offensive line on several occasions. It also seemed like our carriers were a bit slow off of their launching pads but both situations could have resulted from the spongy-slow track they were taking off of.

Ramrods and prospective new booster club members will have the opportunity to see the playing conditions and the outcome of the game Tuesday when the organization meets at the high school. Shown will be game films of the one we now have put in the record can. Also the audience will hear about Friday's opponent, the St. Gerard's Royals of San Antonio. The Catholic League Royals dropped a 26-0 decision to Class 3A East Central last Friday and should give Coach Fest and his Pests some favorable opposition to work up the Rams' play repertoire offensively and defensively toward more productivity for us and less for them.

It is all necessary this play of weekly progress and play-perfection if we are to seriously entertain title hopes this year. Whether the Royals were "off" against East Central or if it is a case that St. Gerard's does not have the material, itshould Wake no never-mind how they play but it makes a bushel-ful of importance of how much better we operate our game plans. What the thing is all about is a grid gang with muscle, experience and dedication working to perfect all of its techniques toward a common goal winning football games. That's 30.
