The Odessa American from Odessa, Texas • 15

THE ODESSA AMERICAN PAGE 3-B SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1971 mix 1 CALT Colombia (KP against the American 100-meter sprint duo of Dr. Delano Me- riwether and Kentucky's Jim Green. Meriwether, with a 10.1 best, goes in the same heat with Cuba's heralded Pablo Montes, credited along with, another Cuban speedster, Hermes Ramirez with 10.0 clockings. The Pan Am record is 10.2. Also prime 100 meter contenders are Don Quarrie, Jamaica's gift to the University of Southern California, Lennox Miller, also a U.S.-nurtured Jamaican, and Peru's world class sprinter, Fernando The crowd at the opening ceremony of the Sixth Pan-American Games got its first chance to cheer when the huge electric scoreboard flashed each of the competing nations, the capital, population, language and currency.

The overwhelming salute went to host Colombia, which held the scoreboard for five minutes compared with 10 seconds alloted for the other 29 nations. The United States was greeted with loud applause, marked; by whistles and a few jeers. Next to Colombia and the USA, the loudest cheers went to Venezuela, Mexico and Cuba. jump entry, is favored to tumble the Pan Am record of 7-2V4 set by the USA's Ed Carru-thers at Winnipeg.

Mexico's Olympic veteran, Juan Maximo Martinez, and Hector Ortiz of Puerto Rico also could figure, in a likely smashing of the Pan Am record of 29:17.4 Shorter has an impressive best of 27.27.2.

Along with Matdorz, who soared a stunning 7 feet 6 inches to smash the world high jump record in the recent USA-Russia meet, is another new worldmark claimant, John Smith, and premier 1,500 meter star, Marty Liquori. Smith, clocked at 44.5 for the world's best in the 400-meter run, and Villanova's Liquori run in qualifications.

Matzdorf, lone U.S. high World record holder Pat Mat-zdorf of Wisconsin should eliminate the high jump field without doffing his sweat suit, but the United States faces Latin challenges in two other finals on Saturday's opening Pan-American track and field program. The U.S. won all but the 100 meter dash and marathon in men's competition in the 1967 Winnipeg Pan-Am Games. But it could be unseated in the run, the other masculine final, in the inaugural track session at the Pascual Guerrero Stadium.

Another Saturday evening fi i LARRY BATES will be the only Odessa schoolboy taking part in the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star Football Game next Thursday night in Ft. Worth. He'll be doing his bit for the North team in the 37th renewal of the contest that sees the North lead the series 21-12-3. Larry and his teammates will be coached by Donnell Crosslin, head coach of the Wichita Falls Coyotes and therefore it comes as no surprise that Crosslin expects Bates to be plenty of help. The Permian ex did as much as anyone to shoot holes in Crosslin's hopes for a repeat as Class AAAA state champs last season.

Against Wichita Falls Bates played offensive tight end and fullback, as well as defensive end and linebacker. He was the one who led Daniel Justis through the Red and Black forward wall with Won't Report After All- Thomas 'Doubting His Mind Changes Schramm, who, had been reer so other black players will DALLAS (AP) Dallas hold-' called by Thomas have a fair snake not oniy at Dallas, but at other places in out Duane Thomas said he would report to the Cowboys liliil in Dallas last week, said in a the league," Thomas said in a training at Thousand istatement Thursday: "The pur telephone conversation from nis Oaks, jnaay dui changed his mind six hours lat pose of Duane visit was to reauest that he be traded.

"I've been running and riding my bicycle," says the SMU-bound gridder. "I think I'm in pretty good shape, but if it's humid down there it won't matter. You just can't get ready for that" Bates says he has had several letters from the staff and reports that right now he will play either offensive or defensive end.

If the going gets tough for the North, don't be surprised if Crosslin puts Bates at fullback and Joey Aboussie of Wichita Falls at tailback and tries to do to the South what he saw done to his own Coyotes. FUNNY HOW you remember certain games you've seen. That's what happened when I saw the Texas Tech press book in the mail and for some, reason recalled the 1954 meeting between Tech and Texas The tilt was the opening game of the grid season for the Raiders and the Aggies. Tech was fresh from a 10-1 season that saw them destroy Auburn in the Gator Bowl (35-13) and lose only to (27-14). The very idea that the Raiders were seeking revenge was lost in the hullaballoo over Paul "Bear" Bryant making his debut as mentor of the DeWitt Weaver and his crew were far from terror-stricken at the idea of crossing horns with the Fact is, Weaver had a trick planned for the much heralded Bryant and "Bear" fell for it hook-line-and-sinker.

IT WAS THE first year of one-platoon football and no one was used to the rule that stated once you left the game you could not return during that quarter. All eyes were on Bryant and his team, and not a soul noticed Weaver starting his second unit. The Aggies took the kickoff and drove the length of the field before kicking a field goal for a 3-0 lead. Then Weaver's eleven trotted off the field. seeing the Raiders retreat to the bench, pulled his starters and thus was trapped.

Off the Texas Tech bench came Bobby Oavazos, Rick Spinks, James Sides, and a quarterback named Jack Kirkpatrick who looked like he had invented the Split-T Formation. The Aggies were shallow in the depth department and looked like they were running in a ditch compared to the gigantic Raider first team line. The rest is history. The Raiders literally destroyed the Aggies (41-9) who were trapped with their best players on the bench. It was a lesson "Bear" never forgot.

Walt Garrison, the Cowboys' cowboy, spinner of western and honky ballads, whittler extraordinaire and lead bombardier in a sortie on most any spittoon, has a new act. Walt remains one of the live ones with his Juggling. He took on a partner the other day, Charlie Waters, he with the blondish Prince Valiant locks. The two of them had six peaches and oranges going on the walk in front of the dining hall. Not bad.

But not so good on two of the peaches which hit the sidewalk. When Craig Morton wanted to join the act with a piece of watermelon, Garrison wouldn't play. The Captain Marvel of the rookie crop, however, must be free agent John Nelson, the basketball player from Oklahoma City University. Nelson earned spending money in college by betting the suckers he could leap over an automobile without the laying on of hands. When the rookies started having to sing for their supper at camp, Nelson came up with a bit of showmanship that was pure magic.

The big tall tight end candidate does sleight-of-hand tricks with a thimble, grape or whatever happens to be handy. No one has spotted a fishnet shirt in camp yet, the trademark of Duane Thomas here last year. Thomas remains a no-show. But Steve Kiner checked In with his hair a little longer than last year wearing Dutch-type wooden shoes. There's much long hair, beads and shirt-vests in evidence, leading one to wonder if any of the rooks and younger veterans ever remember Pete Gent, much less appreciate him.

Gent was the Dallas receiver who "begged establishment" with his dress, hair and mannerisms from 1964-68, which is about three years longer than even Gent thought he'd last. Pete, you were the trailblazer and only a few years ahead of your time. The funnies to veterans that aren't funnies to rookies have started. With guys getting cut almost every day, the best "joke" in town is to ring a rook's room with a voice disguised as an assistant coach and announce: "Coach Landry wants to see you In his room. Oh, bring your "After two-a-days they're probably ready for a laugh." With this announcement, Jerry Tubbs, the linebacker coach, donned a $400 "rug" of visitor Tobin Rote the other day and walked into the general team meeting as Dan Reeves was calling the role.

Everyone broke up. Tubbs had tried out the hairpiece on some visiting coaches and writers. One scout, who knows Tubbs well, walked by and did a double-take without recognizing him. "I was going to ask if Jerry had a brother," the scout said. "I knew that looked like him.

Tubbs and Rote have similar wide open spaces on their heads, with only a little fringe benefit down around the ears. The toupee made Tubbs look like he was a player again and, well, we wouldn't be surprised if the ole linebacker didn't show up next year with one of his own. and be unhappy if anyone were to laugh. pion and earn a trip to the state yield more traction is desirable tournament.
