THE JACKSON SUN, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1965 3-A Ocean Scientists Have Discovered What May Be A Baby Sea Monster toll State, iyy Battle To Tie Louisiana Wants Wall To Protect Gulf Coast NEW ORLEANS (AP) Everyone has heard of Betsy, the ferocious hurricane. Soon the V' 1 ft- I Vols Sign AH-Sfaters By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Jim McEver, Son of Football Hall of Famer Gene McEver, and three members of the 1965 Tennessee All-State high school football team signed football grants in aid Saturday with Tennessee. The signings were announced soon after the Southeastern Conference annual hunt for gridiron talent began officially at noon Saturday. McEver's father is a former Tennessee great from Bristol, and comes to the Vols from North Mecklinberg High School in Charlotte, N.C., The 6-foot, 185-pound halfback's home is Davidson, N.C. The All-Staters are Don Mc-Leary of Jackson North Side, Steve Carroll of Chattanooga Central and Vic Dingus, Kings-port end.

McLeary, a half back who cast his lot with Tennessee, was the first member of the 1965 Tennessee All-State high school football team to sien a Todd with an 18-yard toss for the second. Hill Hajec, who set up the second touchdown with a 38-yard return of a pass interception, kicked both extra points. Tennessee State scored in the first period on Dickey's one-yard sneak, after recovering a fumble on the Ball State 19. Tennessee State, on a previous drive, had a touchdown nullified by an offside penalty. Tennessee State drove 74 yards in the fourth quarter, but lost the ball on a fumble at the 14.

Bob Coatie recovered. Ball State, which had used a running attack to win nine regular season games, surprised Tennessee State by going to the air. Houk, who completed 12 of 15 passes for 155 yards, had a string of 10 straight completions. Jim Todd was Ball State's agel Hired At Bova ft j1 IT DR.

Eugene Bowers led Tennessee State with 76 yards and Dickey added 52. In the first half, Ball State blitzed its linebackers and Dickey could not get the Tennessee State passing attack to click.

He finally completed 12 of 23 for 169 yards, but had only four hits in the first half. The game was played before a racially integrated crowd of 12,000 in the first college football contest on Tennessee soil between an All-Negro team, Tennessee State, ar.d predominantly all-white team. There were no incidents. The Grantland Rice bowl is one of four regional bowl games for small colleges sponsored by the NCAA.

This came after Evashevski directed the Hawkeyes to two conference titles and two Rose Bowl trips. Chairman Hugh Kelso said the selection of Nagel was unanimous by the board in control of athletics. Nagel's salary was not announced. Burns received a year. Evashevski, now Iowa athletic director, said of Nagel's ap pointment: "We need somebody young, somebody who had stood the test of time and competition.

Nagel will give us the impetus and salesmanship to get Iowa back in the upper echelon of the Big Ten." Nagel's Utah teams won 42, lost 39 and tied one. His 1964 club was the best in the university's history, winning nine of 11 games, including the Liberty Bowl, and tying for the Western Athletic Conference title. He was named conference coach of the year. This past season Utah was 3-7. THE EXTERNAL EAR THE EAR DRUM IOWA CITY (AP) The University of Iowa hired Rav Naeel of Utah as head football coach Saturday in a continuation of its VOUth movement that failpH tn produce a winning season the past iour years.

In selecting Nagel, 38, it might be a case of "if vou can't beat him, join him." Three UCLA football teams with which Nagel has been as sociated two as a player and one as an assistant coach have beaten Iowa. Nagel, head coach at Utah for eight years, succeeds Jerry Burns, also 38, who was fired four days before the end of the 1965 season. The Hawkeyes won only one of 10 games, their worst record in 76 years. Burns, 33 at the time and the backfield coach, was hand picked by his head coach, Forest Evashevski, to succeed Evy as Iowa's head man after the 1960 season. Burns' five-year record was 16 victories, 27 defeats and two ties.

(AP) Safetyman No land Smith's 74-yard touchdown punt return late in the fourth quarter brought Tennessee State from the brink of defeat to a 14-14 tie with Ball State University in the second annual Grant- land Rice Bowl Saturday. Smith scored 2:01 left in the game, but a pass interception at the Ball State 42 gave Tennessee State a chance for victory in the final seconds. Eld-ridge Dickey passed 18 yards to Joe Cooper at the 2 as the game ended. The important 2-point conversion which tied the score was a pass from Dickey to end Johnny Robinson.

Tennessee State had missed an extra point kick in the first quarter. Both teams remained undefeated with 9-0-1 records. Tennessee State was ranked fifth among the nation's small colleges. Ball State scored both of its touchdowns in the second quarter on drives of 81 and 32 yards, after a fumble recovery and a pass interception. Quarterback Frank Houk of Ball State, who received the Granny Award as the game's outstanding player, passed 25 yards to Steve Demouth for the first touchdown and hit Jim Tribe Splits With Falcons LAKE COUNTY, Tenn.

North Side and Lake County divided hoop wins here Saturday night with the NS girls falling, 31-28, and the Indians taking the boys game, 46-42. Linda Maddox and Diane Riley handled all the scoring for the Lake County girls with 17 and 14 points respectively. Both teams had a drought in the second frame as the squads managed only one field goal apiece. The quarter ended with neither team scoring in the last six minutes. North Side was on top after three periods, 20-17, but Lake County's 14-8 edge in the last quarter turned the trick for the hosts.

Marty Piercey ripped the nets for 16 points for the Maidens. The Indians used their size advantage to post the win over the Falcons who employed a full court press the entire game. It was not until the third quarter that North Side gained the upper hand after trailing 28-24 at halftime. North Side's Jim Yarbrough was the top point-producer with 19. Ken Parks scored 14 and Don Callens 11 for the losers.

By DEAN JOHNSOS LIMA, Peru (AP) Ocean scientists have found what may be a baby sea monster slithering along in the depths off the coast of Peru. And they also have a photograph to shake up archeologists. The scientists, headed by American Dr. Robert G. Men- zies, spent six weeks aboard the ship "Anton Bruum" cruising a zig-zag course over the Peru-Chile Trough (Fosa Peru-Chile).

The trough, one of 13 great ocean floor depressions in the world, is about 100 miles off Peru's coast, stretching from Ecuador to Chile. Menzies and 14 assistants probed the trough bottom with a special camera and hieh power lamp linked to the ship by cable. The trough bottom is 2 miles beneath the ocean surface. What may be the baby sea monster, so dear to the hearts of most sailors is called leptocephalus. Dr.

Menzies' specimen, dragged up from the ocean floor by a trawl which usually goes with the camera, is about 12 inches long. it is conceivable that if the leptocephalus has the same growth rate as European eels, which we know a lot about, it could attain a length of 100 feet, one of Menzies assistants, Alec Ibanez, told The Associated Press. But to the best of our knowledge, the adults are uninvestigated and unknown," he said. Adult leptocephaluses could be responsible, he added, for age- old sailors' stories of huge, wriggily monsters in the vast-ness of the Earth's oceans. This was the second time the Peru-Chile Trough was investi gated scientifically.

Menzies made the initial survey in the late 1950s. Menzies' camera, lamp and trawl are dragged along the ocean floor for several minutes at a time. The scientist has no way of knowing what the camera may be photographing in the depths. But his assistants say Men zies seems to have an uncanny and intuitive way of submerging the camera and rig at productive spots. The scientist, 43, who has re turned to his post as director of Duke University's oceano- graphic program California, also collected a new species of neopilina, a small snail-like creature which scientists once believed extinct.

Neopilina "was thought only to exist as a fossil, having be come extinct 350 million years ago," Ibanez said. The Menzies expedition, which collected 20 living neo pilina, was part of a year-long study of the southeast Pacific Ocean sponsored by the National Science Foundation in Washington. Another and unexpected dividend of the trough survey came in the form of a routine underwater photograph. "The picture appears to show several stone columns. And it's possible that they are man-made," Ibanez said.

"What an archeological find that might be." Menzies. he added, hopes to return soon to follow up the photograph with a scientific in vestigation. land use and management and the m-omotion of conservation of soil, water, and related re newable natural resources, including grass, fish, wildlife and other forms of beneficial plant and animal life. The Society has been active in sponsoring the F.F.A. and 4-H Land Judging Contest in West Tennessee and also the State Contest Many other activities concerning the preservation of natural resources are carried on by this chapter and other chapters across the name LISA may be equally familiar along South Louisiana's uuii coast.

LISA stands for th Tunisians Intracoastal Seaway Associa- uuii, wiucn oacKs a plan tnat woma include raising a 12-foot levee to protect low coasta! areas from hurricane tidal surges. "It looks like our best nlan." said Gov. John J. McKeithen after pondering LISA'S potentialnot only for flood protec tion Dut also for industrial pos- MDiuues. Betsy did about $1 billion damage to the Louisiana coastal area, by best estimates.

It was the third hurricane of extraordinary violence since 1958. And it stirred a lot of brain storming as to the future. One eminent scientist. Dr. Edward Teller, predicted that man will be able to control hurricanes in a decade or so.

This is a comforting thought but many weather forecasters are not so optimistic. "Work is being done on it said E. L. Hill of the New Orleans weather bureau. "How soon you will get a break through, I don't know.

It might be a decade, it mignt be several decades." Backers of LISA would rattier not wait. In Betsy, as in other storms, the major problem was not the wind. It was the flooding caus ed by tidal surges sea water pushed inland by the storm. Towns in lowlying areas were hard hit. And thousands upon thousands of acres remained under water for weeks as floods slowly drained away.

LISA stalwarts say much of the flooding could be prevented by a 12-foot levee extending the length of the coast, from the Mississippi River to the Texas border. Under the project envisioned by LISA, such a levee would be merely a valuable byproduct of the Intracoastal Canal. The existing canal 12 feet deep and 150 feet wide would be widened and deepened, with salt water locks at strategic points to let seagoing traffic in or out. An engineering firm, Walde-mar S. Nelson said dredging the canal to a depth of 40 feet and widening it to 500 feet would involve moving enough earth to create a natural levee on the seaward side.

Any dirt left over could be spread on the landward side to form a foundation for hundreds of industrial sites. The prospect is so enticing the 1964 legislature created LISA, with its membership drawn from adjoining parishes abutting the Gulf. The cost of LISA is figured at about half a billion dollars. Backers suggest most of the money could come from offshore oil royalties, now held in escrow by the federal government in the tidelands dispute. Officers Elected For Soil Care TRENTON, Tenn.

Finally, one day, he sat down at a table where John was staring at his untouched food. Tom felt he was unwelcome, but kept his courage up. Finally, he said, "John, something, maybe too much, is on your mind. Don't you need a doctor, a minister, or a psychologist? I'm your John, could I help?" He got the answer he expected: "I'm all right.

Don't concern yourself. They couldn't help me anyway." "All right, John, have it your way, but I've got a hunch I know the right person to help you. There is no pack of troubles that can't be solved with the right start and if you are willing to make an honest effort." Three days later at 1 a.m. John called Tom.

Dr. Blanche Evans says that this is the time of year when most of us are under excessive strains physically, mentally, emotionally, and even socially. ni ii ane gives uus account of a hypothetical case: John had been showing signs of fatigue for some time. He had a good salary but it never seemed to stretch until the next pay day.

He had never been able to say "No" to his chil dren or helpmate. "Was she truly a helpmate?" he began to wonder. The truant thought passed through his mind more and more often as he sought ways and means to pay the regular bills, the installments, interest on borrowed money, ana now tne Christmas buying. He had always had pleasant relations with the office force but each day seemed to be come more unreasonable and unhappy. He became aware that the children no longer respected him.

What was the matter with him? Would he go crazy with everyone turning against him? Nights were worse than days. Then all his troubles, like little demons, had a hey-day in his mind. He awoke more tired than when he had gone to bed. His work began suffering, so he went without coffee breaks and lunch as well as staying late in the evening. The harder he worked, the worse affairs seemed to go.

He became more domineering even ugly at home and everywhere. A real friend, Tom, viewed DISCHARGES (Dec. 10): James N. Allen, Humboldt Mrs. Ike Amnions, Whiteville James I.
