Texarkana Apaches Sea Mack Owens porhpei in Millions By Water 21-12 Win Puts TJC Into Lead FOOTBALL I SCORES Just about the time this country's vast new interstate highway system is completed, the nation's planners can tackle the problem of our congested waterways. Maybe you haven't noticed but the trend toward the adoption of boating as a family participant sport is growing so fast that by 1973, there will be million boats using American waters for recreation purposes. An estimated 7,700,000 pleasure craft, ranging from rowboats to luxury yachts, cruised 134,500 miles of navigable tidal coastline and 115,000 miles of navigable inland waters this year. The National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers readily attributes the tremendous growth of boating to several factors, namely the creation cf navigable water in inland areas by power and conservation projects, the family acceptance of boating as a spart for everybody 1 to participate in together, the availability of quality stock boats and motors, crowded highways that turn Sunday drivers into Sunday sailors and the fact that a boat can be financed as easily as an automobile. Two other factors given were (1) the adventure and romance associated with boats and the and (2) the high standard of living enjoyed by us Americans and the relatively great amount of leisure time we have (Sez who?) Wonder how much old Adam Troy and his Tiki have influenced the growth.

So who wouldn't like to play around the South Seas and those other exQtic locations with a Hollywood actress turning, up (in trouble) on every island? But who wants to. start out for Uranbangobingo in an Arkansas Traveler with a five horse motor? session of first place in the Texas Eastern Conference again. Halfback Johnny Snell scored the first two Tyler TD's on passes from the rifle arm of Vidal Carlin the first on a toss good for three yards and the second on a 16-yard shot from Carlin. Billy Ballard kicked the extra point both Texarkana also took to tMs air to score twice in the second quarter with quarterback Allen Christensen throwing 23 yards to end Tommy Kupper for first and Christensen to halfback Leroy Williford for a 42-yard play and the second touch-down. Halfback Burnise Alderman's kick was wide the first time and Chirstensen's pass for the extra point was batted down after the second touchdown.

The Apaches' third score of the evening came with only 13 seconds left in the third period. Texarkana was trying to operate from its own five-yard line when Christensen tried to pitch out to his halfback. Tyler- end Don Hudson zoomed through, took -the pitchout in midair and stepped into" the end zone for a -Tyler touchdown. Ballard again converted to make it 21-12. The victory, however great it was "under the pressure of having to win on the road, may have been a costly one for the Apaches, who had three players taken off the field with in ATHLETES ACCUSED OF BURGLARY Two North Texas State foot-players, Bill McWatters (left), second string fullback, -and Wayne Ulmer, a starting guard, have been accused of burglary and suspended from school.

SMU, playing the second half without its brilliant sophomore runner, John Roderick, had not advanced beyond the Rice 30 until the Mustangs received a short punt on their own 44 midway in the final period. From that point, Thomas accounted for all the 56 yards to the Rice goal line with three passes, climaxing the touchdown drive with a 24-yarder to Jimmy Taylor.

Despite his size, Jeter has the speed andpower to go around the opposition as well as over some of the folks who happen to get in his way. i. I i i i -J ih A 10-4 sprinter and a tailor-made workhorse in the back-field, Jeter reportedly has averaged better than 150 yards per game rushing on Alto's schedule to date and his fans say he carries the ball from, 30 to 40 times in each contest. The three former Alto gridders asking recognition for Jeter are Mike Trevathan, Robert Cummings and Bob Smith. They say that, in the eyes of most observers, James Jeter is as good as any football player ever to graduate from Alto and that includes Billy Burt, who won junior college All-America honors at Kilgore College and is now the No.

1 fullback for SFA's Lumberjacks. They add that Jeter is as good or better asthan New London's "heralded Danny who won all-state honors last year. The Jacket fullback is a straight student and president of his class at Alto High and a prime candidate for all-state honors, but it would probalby help Jeter's chances if someone kept tab on his individual achievements as a player in each game. If Jeter is averaging better than 150 yards per game rushing (and we do not question this in any fashion) his total-for the season should be fantastic and his individual statistics should be available. Random Short Shots Basketball practice is officially, under way at Texas Eastern Conference schools but everybody is leaning toward Joe Tur- ner's Rangers at Kilgore College as odds-on favorites to clean up on just about everything in sight Joe has the kind of ball club coming up this year that gladdens the hearts of roundball coaches everywhere height, experience, speed and shooting ability.

The only East Texans yoii won't hear griping about Summer's hangover into fall are the golfers in the area who are enjoying one of the longest (if not the most parched) season on the links in several years But not the club professionals they want rain, ice or snow for those fairways and greens. Another group capitalizing on the extended period of warm weather is made up of fishermen from everywhere. The ordinary angler doesn't know how to catch'em this late in the year, but the old pros of the lakes are having their best flings right now. At least one of the state-wide wire service polls on Texas Schoolboy football has come in for some, ill feeling on the part of East Texas fans, who feel the entire area is being snubbed for the hotshots in Deep South, West and North (Panhandle) Texas. Tyler Lee's Rebels have never made it into the top ten of UPI's schoolboy poll, Jacksonville has been in and out of the Class AAA ballot and Rusk has been rated at high as No.

10 in Class AA and most of the powerful Class A outfits in the Etex usually get enough votes to be ranked eighth, -ninth or 10th. 1 So!

in fact, I had to shoot from the deep rough seven times. I was fortunate to make the score, but it made up for some of the bad luck I had the first day." When he had the 75, he hit one. ball out of bounds by one landed once in a two-inch deep divot in the middle of the fairway that cost him another shot; and caught the under-lip on two traps. His nines Saturday were 33-33. His longest birdie putt was from 16 feet, and once he ex-' ploded from a trapto within 18 inches of the pin for a birdie.

Fullback Bill DeVUle, guard John Conlee and linebacker Clayton Fontenot all had to be carried off, but their mates who stayed made sure their departures weren't for naught. Tyler drove 73 yards with the 1 opening kickoff for the first score of the game, then threatened again after Texarkana couldn't go. But the Bulldogs rolled 70 yards on the ground to score the catch-up touchdown only to have the conversion go astray. The Apaches used a sustained drive of 71 yards to score their second TD and then cashed in Hudson's alertness on the pitch-out the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

The entire TJC effort was magnificent. hobbled by injuries, put a fired-up ball club on the field, but the Apaches simply outplayed their foes. Tyler now has a 3-1 record in Texas Eastern Conference play, and Texarkana has a 2-2 mark in loop play.
