This seems to be a bad season fof the officials, from the professional-level down, to the high school ranks. Knowledge of the rules doesn't make an official.

Disappointed is a weak word, indeed, to describe their feelings. Fry, who took all he could from his vantage point on the sidelines, entered the game big the third period and drew a 15-yard penalty against the Broncs. That mattered little' because Odessa already had gotten three consecutive 15-yard penalties. Saturday morning, Fry was a little sheepish about his actions, but said that he had seen a San Angelo boy slug one of his players while an official was walking off one of the 15-yard penalties against the Broncs and it was. all he could take.
