The amendment was ap.

proved by the Texas associ. ation's House of Delegates and was ratified by a majority vote of the membership. Browning contended that the 1975amendmentwas so similar to an amendment that had been rejected in 1974 that it could not be submitted again for two years, according to the TSTA constitution. "By their voluntary assent to the rules of the association," the appeals court said of Browning and others, "appellants have bound themselves to abide by all lawful limitations imposed by association rules, and the courts will not interfere with the reasonable inter, pretation placed by the associ. ation on those rules.

"Exceptions to this rule exist when a. governing body has substituted legislation for inter, pretation or has transgressed the bounds of reason, common sense, fairness, or has con. travened public policy or the law of the land in such inter, pretation or administration. Such is not the case here." Kiwanians Hear Soccer Director Arturo Gonzalez director of the Del Rio Youth Soccer Association, spoke before members of the Kiwanis Club Monday at noon explaining how the game of soccer is played and the efforts of the local group to develop a solid recreational organization. Gonzalez began his talk with a short narrative on the history of the game, noting soccer is one of the major sports in the world.

He said more countries, 144, belong to the International Football League than the United Nations. The basic regulations of soccer are similar to ice hockey, according to Gonzalez, with each team during a game fielding 11 instead of six players to defend their respective goals and score points. He noted the rules and penalties such-as being offsides are almost identical between the two sports. Talking about the local organization, Gonzalez said presently 250 youngsters are divided into 12 teams four girls and eight boys, in addition to one other team which travels to San Antonio to participate in league action there. He indicated problems in locating enough people to serve as qualified coaches have been resolved and that the gearing up for weeks of the organization is the last eight season.

"Our objective is to get the youngsters to know and enjoy the game. We don't want to pressure on them so that they think they have got to win their games, but rather we just want them to have some good clean fun."

(News-Herald Photo) BRACKETTVILLE EVENT Artillery Grudge Match the smoke clears and the last notes of the bugle fade away after the reenactment of the Battle of the Alamo March 6, it does not mean that all of the action is over.

The reenactment sponsored by the National Reenactment Society and the Texas Army at Happy Shahan's Alamo Village at Brackettville will be followed by an artillery grudge match on March 7. Two groups, the Dallas Light Artillery, led by Ken Richardson of Mesquite, and the Pelican Battery, captained by C.J. Johnson of Pineville, will decide which state has the best artillery shots. Both units will depict Mexican artillery during the battle replicas of 19th muzzle-loading authentic century cannon. Seeking to uphold the honor of their respective states, the crews will train their guns, loaded with cement-filled beer cans, at targets 300 yards distant.

Neither side will admit that the other can outshoot them and the outcome should determine the superiority of Texas or Louisiana artillerymanship, until the next re-match. The reenactment of the Battle of the Alamo is an official Bicentennial event and will attract nearly 200 actors from all over the United States, all costumed in 1836 uniforms. The commanding general for March 6 and both will use the Texas Army, Carroll A. Lewis with a force of 150 soldiers (Mexican and Texan), his colonels, plus women and children will take part, in "The Fall of Alamo" at Alamo Village March 6. On the grounds is the exact replica of the Alamo, built for John Wayne's movie epic, "The Alamo" The gate opens at 9 a.m.

Emery Lehnert, park naturalist with the Amistad Recreation Area of the National Park Service, presented a program on the prehistoric cave dwellers of this area before members of the Rotary Club Tuesday at noon at the San Felipe Country Club. The naturalist discussed the Coahuilotecan Indians and other peoples that lived starting 14,000 years ago in cave areas surrounding and now under Lake Amistad which at that time were located in rock formations and cliffs high above the Rio Grande, Pecos and Devil's rivers. Presently the Taramahara Indians living in Mexico may be possibly related to the Coahuiltecan Indians, according to research Lehnert says the park service and scientific institutions have conducted. Lehnert noted the people- lived very primatively, existing on native plants and animals for food. For both artistic and i a i es Lehnert said the Indians scratched many colorful paintings in unusual designs on the walls of the caves.

Panther Cave, found near the junction of the Rio Grande and Pecos River, is a good example, according to Lehnert where visitors obtaining National Park Service clearance may dock their boats and walk right up into the caves to view the paintings. Habits of Hit- early dwellers changed as shifts in the climate from a cold glacier-type environment to a warm weather atmosphere occurred. The naturalist concluded his presentation before club members displaying actual spear points the CoahuiHecan Indians used, made out of a hard 'chu' rock. He said the Indians attached these points to long wooden shafts called 'atlatls' to use for hunting wild animals. MoPoc Prexy Tours Line Aboard Train HAKUNGEN, Tex.
