TIMES SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 19. 1976 5 gjOOllB ID Jones IS everything as Wildwood rolls over Land O'Lakes 26-0 much offense the second and third quarters, but Wildwood had a first and goal at the Gator six in third quarter but couldn't score as the Land O'Lakes defense held. Later in the final quarter, Land O'Lakes tried for a first down on a fourth-down situation at the Wildwood 36 but failed, and four plays later Wildwood scored its third torohdown of the night. A 51-yard pass from quarterback Jones and Bruce Jones set up a 13-yard run by Keith Jones midway through the fourth quarter.

The run for two points failed. Wildwood took over on downs with time running out in the game, and on the game's final play Keith Jones heaved a long bomb to Willie Mobley, who ran under the ball for a 62-yard touchdown. The run failed, leaving Wildwood with a 26-0 opening-season victory. Land O'Lakes, now also 0-1, is at home again Friday against New Port Richey Gulf. By DANNY PLUMMER Ptico Timet Corretpondent LAND O'LAKES Wildwood's Keith Jones is nicknamed Mr.

Everything. And he lived up to that nickname here Friday night. Jones gained 286 yards in total offense, rushing for 148 and passing for 138 yards more as the Wildcats rolled over Land O'Lakes' Gators 26-0 in a District 2A-8 matchup. Jones also scored one touchdown, passed for another and had a two-point conversion run. And he played just more than half the game.

AS IF THAT WASN'T enough, Jones also started as a linebacker on defense. Wildwood scored its second possession, driving 57 yards in five plays. Ronnie Bailey got the touchdown on a one-yard plunge midway through the first quarter on a night when the scoreboard didn't work. The run for two pointa failed. Bailey also got in on the Wildcats' second score, recovering an onside kick at the Gator 43.

Ten plays later, Richard McCants scored from 14 yards out. Jones then got his conversion run for a 14-0 Wild-wood advantage. NEITHER TEAM could generate Civua-Harnando Timet BILL SHAW Hernando's Stanley Stephens breaks out of Citrus line for touchdown run. Hernando rallies for 20-12 win over Citrus end Darrell Hugar, with Lamar Williamson running it in from a yard out. BARNES WAS THE game's leading rusher for 115 yards in eight carries while Stephens added 58 in nine tries.

The Leopards, who had gained 120 yards rushing the fist half, netted just seven yards and one first down the second half against a surprising Citrus defense. Hernando remains home Friday for an important date against Tampa Jesuit while Citrus is home against Melbourne Central Catholic.

In what has to be the biggest surprise of the young season, Coach Wilbur Lofton's Cobras upset highly regarded Crestview 12-0 here Friday night.

And the Cobras had been fighting more than just the Crestview team. First there was the grueling seven-hour ride up in school vans Thursday. Then there was the hour time change getting adjusted to the Central Standard Time of the Panhandle community. BUT NONE OF it seemed to bother the Cobras, who were coming off a 20-0 loss to Dade City Pasco last week. Crestview had gone into the game a solid favorite, as much as three touchdowns in some quarters.

But the Cobras ignored the predictions and walked away with their 11 20 Citrua-Htrnando Timet Bureau BROOKSVILLE Hernando High's Leopards had a rougher time with Inverness Citrus than expected here Friday night. The Leopards, rated anywhere from two- to five-touchdown favorites, found themselves trailing the Hurricanes after the first quarter before rallying for a 20-12 District 3A-6 victory in Hernado's home opener. Citrus is now 0-2 overall. A HIGH SNAP OF A punt attempt caused Hernando's Ken Bedwell to fumble the ball away, and Citrus' Slick Concidine recovered for the Hurricanes in the end zone for a touchdown in the first quarter. The Leopards blocked the extra-point kick attempt.

Hernando came back to go ahead early in the second quarter, driving 47 yards in just three plays, capped by Stanley Stephens' 36-yard run. Gene Barnes had carried twice for 11 yards the first two plays, subbing for the injured Reggie v- Lamar Williamson crosses the goal line tt' (. A A.

Hudson scored its first touchdown in the second quarter when Tony Trancucci raced in from three yards out, but the kick for the extra point failed. THEN IN THE fourth quarter, the Cobras added an insurance touchdown on a three-yard pass from quarterback Dave Sjostrom to fullback Tom Waugh.

Again the kick failed. Hudson's defense performed brilliantly all evening, shutting out what had been billed as a high-scoring offensive team. Waugh led the Cobras ground game with 80 yards while Roy Pridgen added 68. Hudson is now 1-1 and Friday travels to Palmetto for its third straight road game. Hudson 4 6 4-12 Crestview 0 0 10-0 Trancucci, 3 run (kick failed) Waugh, 3 pass from Stostrom (kick failed) enough offense to score again.

Lyons led all rushers in the game with 81 yards, while teammate Andy Norris gained 67 yards before being thrown out of the game in the third quarter for unsportsmanlike conduct. Mike Smith, James Cross, Kurt Carpenter, James Dunham, Paul Spitznogle and Stiehl were all defensive standouts for Dunnellon, which remains at home Friday against Hawthorne. S. Sumter Dunnet.

DADE CITY Perhaps the cooling weather and rains will cause an improvement here. Saltwater Fishing YANKEETOWN The boats from Yankeetown Boat Company found red and trout fishing good. The water had been just too rough to get to the Seahorse Reef area.

Perhaps with the weather eased off now, Seahorse Reef should be a hot spot. CRYSTAL RIVER Knox Baithouse reports both trout and reds are doing good. Jack Jernigan boated a 30-pound cobia, and Billy Mays of Waycross, landed a 100-pound tarpon. HOMOSASSA RIVER At Riverside Lodge and Villas, fishing has improved tremendously. Guide Nathan Strickland and party, 26 reds and 14 trout.

Barney Trotter, guiding Curtis Richardson of Fort Pierce, 20 trout and four grouper. Guide Riley W. Head, with L. E. Bowen of Eustis, 29 trout.

CHASSAHOWITZKA RIVER Saltwater here rates from fair to good in between the storms. Bluecrabbing is fair, and there is good bass fishing on the freshwater end. HERNANDO BEACH Bad weather kept most of the boats in, was the report from Hernando Beach Marina. A few trout, reds and grass grouper were taken in between the squalls. HUDSON Clark Staley of Staley's Hudson Marina, reports six-to eight-pound grouper in the shallower water, and the fishing rates good.

There are fair catches of trout and they are running big. Reds, snook and flounder are also coming in. Good luck and good fishing. Delaine. Delaine, a blue chip college prospect, left the game in the opening quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return to the game.

After Stephens' score with 10:58 left in the half, Moe Heatherley kicked the point after for a 7-6 Hernando edge. A GEORGE FLOYD interception, his first of two for the night, led to Hernando's second score. On the first play after the interception, Barnes raced 40 yards to score with 8:39 left. That gave the Leopards a 13-6 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Hernando scored again, this time on a 56-yard drive that took just three plays.

Most of the yardage came on one play, a 39-yard scoring pass from Heatherley to Rod Shafer. Heatherley's kick ended Hernando's scoring for the evening. Citrus added the game's final score in the fourth quarter, driving 34 yards after recovering a Barnes fumble. The big play was a 25-yard pass from quarterback Steve Chambliss to split 111 i i a for Citrus in final quarter. THE MOLDS NOT only include a section of worms, but saltwater jig tails and salamanders.

Then there are the Wild Willie models and the Curly molds, pinch-off worms and the six-legged fancy-leg mold. One worm mold we were looking tor because of requests received from this area could not be found; that was the pencil worm. When Bob was asked about this mold, he said, "There have been no calls for the pencil worm mold. If enough requests are received to make the mold feasible, then we will make them." When I posed this question, "If a person wanted a worm mold that you do not stock and sent you a model of what he wanted, would you make the custom mold?" The answer to this was: "It takes a week to come up with a top grade mold. This would make a special mold very high priced and we do not recommend it." We were also informed that if you could not find what you want in the worm-making line, ask your dealer to get it for you, or write to the company in Fort Worth.

You should find ample supplies and kits in the better tackle shops and stores such as Mart. THE FALL tackle show for registered retail dealers is being held this weekend at Days Inn in Seffner, Fla. The dates and times are Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; today 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Monday 9 a.m.

to 4 p.m. This is the largest display of items to be shown the dealers, large and small, this year. It also gives the small dealers an opportunity to see what's new on the market, and to meet and talk to the factory representatives. Freshwater fishing LAKE ROUSSEAU The Buddy's Camp area was not producing large bass. Four and one-half was the tops.

Jim Abney of Bell-view, a good string of large shellcrackers. Excellent catches of bream were taken by Virginia Hassler of Sarasota and S. Hadden of Clearwater. Some answers to the plastic worm question Citrut-Hernnado Timet Corretpondtnt DUNNELLON James Lyons' six-yard touchdown run in the second quarter proved the difference here Friday night as Bushnell South Sumter edged a determined Dunnellon Tiger team 7-0. The victory left South Sumter at 2-0 overall, 1-0 in District 2A-8 play.

Dunnellon fell to 0-2. 0-1 in the district. After Lyons' score in the second quarter, Doug Simmons kicked the point after touchdown for all of the evening's scoring. Dunnellon had a shot at getting back in the lead late in the third quarter when George Stiehl raced 15 yards for an apparent touchdown. However, officials called, the play back because of a clipping penalty, and the Tigers were unable to generate Tsala Apopka chain of lakes: Henry Cole, an eight-pound, two-ounce bass.

Bobby Jones and Charles and Fay Cudeo, six school bass, plus a big stringer of shellcrackers. Bob Lough-man of Ohio, a nine-pound bass. Elmer Thomas took nine school bass on the first day and a limit on the next. Al and Raliegh Woodard, using the Woody Worm, also limited on school bass. The largest bass brought into the Boat Basin Lodge on Henderson Lake this week, went six pounds.

School bass fishing is fair and the panfishing is good. Cypress Lodge on Henderson Lake has new owners. I was very impressed with the facilities available at very reasonable rates. Live baits are always on hand, and 10 boats and motors are available for rental. They have fishing tackle for sale or rent.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles "Bud" Andrews are the new owner-operators of this facility. Bud is a guide in his own right, and from Cypress Lodge can cover six lakes for a 27-mile range. If you have your own boat, there is an excellent state-owned launching ramp right next door.

Cypress Lodge is located on the shores of Henderson Lake, at 1201 Highway 44 East, Inverness, Fla. 32650. Here is this week's report: bass fishing is good and bluegill are in the 3 -pound class. Good crappie fishing in the Gospel Island bridge hole at night under lights. Gary Marling of Corbin Realty, a limit of bass from 2'4 to 9'4 pounds on black worms.

Buck Bray and Ron Schade boated five bass on black worms, the wo largest went eight pounds and nine pounds. FLORAL CITY At Trail'i End Camp, bass fishing continued good. Bream fishing was also improving. Joe Spikula continues to limit on bass on his two-day weekends. Roy Hook boated eight bass to five pounds and Clem Whittenbeck had a 5 Vi -pounder for his top fish this week.

Everyone thought Chuck Solsberg had lost his Up north at this time of year, the outdoor folks are starting to put up their fishing gear for the winter. Now, they start getting those old shooting irons out for the hunting season. When it gets to snowing and blowing, they get ithat glazed look in their eyes and lovingly get out the fishing tackle. Now, it's a period of waxing rods, overhauling reels, and policing up tackle boxes. From this point, it's a case of tying flies, making lures and spinners until the fishing season once again starts.

Now that all leads to the point that we fish 12 months a year. Here in the southeast, we go through more plastic worms than all of the rest of the country combined. Instead of making flies in the southeast, the angler's hobby is making his own plastic worms. It seems everyone has his own ideas in what he wants in the way of colors, size, shape, hardness, softness and odors. SO WHEN WE WENT to Dallas, we were armed with a whole passel of letters asking where and how to get molds and the makings for plastic worms.

So to get the answers to the worm question, we went to Bob Maserang, president of M. and F. Manufacturing 1003 East Loop, 820 South, Fort Worth, Texas, 76112. The M. and F.

Company is the foremost maker of molds, liquid plastic, colors, oils, softeners and hardners and also complete wovp-making kits. M. and F. has 25 different colors on the market this year to be used with the clear liquid plastic. These five new colore were added this year browngrape (changeable); motor oil (changeable); crawfish; emerald green and transparent fluorescent orange, plus they have gold and silver sparkle to add to the worms.

There are seven worm oil scents; they are anise, blackberry, blueberry, grape, strawberry, watermelon and wintergreen. These scents, added to your worm, eliminate human odor, and are attractive to the fish. THE LUNKER HUNTER fT "BIG J0HI1" jHg nnnDT hM BACKWATERS This area is not at its best. A few bass in the five-to six-pound class are coming in, but you really have to work for them. Most of the bass are under three pounds.

Bream fishing rates fair. DUNNELLON Guide E.J. Carron brought in the largest bass into the Belair this week, 8'j pounds and on a Yum-Yum Worm, no less. E.J., during the week, also caught and released 27 smaller bass. Mr.

and Mrs. Jack Brown of St. Petersburg did very well with their panfishing, but also took a 2 'j -pound bass on the panfish bait. Jerry Sharef, guided by Buck Bray, boated five bass for a total weight of 14Vi pounds. HIGHWAY 200 Fishing in the bridge area rates fair.

Perhaps the cooling weather will improve the fishing in this area. HERNANDO There still are large bass in Hernando Lake.Those knowing how continue to get eight-and nine-pounders. School bass and panfish both rate fair. INVERNESS Bass and panfishing remain good at Turner's Camp. Bob Wilkerson and son, Bob a good string of bass from three to six pounds on shiners.

Charles Led-ford of Clearwater, and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Barner of St Petersburg, real good catches, most in the three quarter pound class.

Happy's Bait and Tackle reports school bass are doing good. Bream are scattered and a few crappie are showing up in the catches. Here are some the better catches out of the if-.
