interest in supporting a losing team The failure of the Rangers to produce a this season bad turned away many fans as Vlast week in the home finale when a very sparse crowd showed up to watch the game with barton But there are still a few who care and stick with the team win or love One of these is Mrs Jordan I felt like the readers of the lews Herald mjght like to share her letter with me' so here

back of the neck as the band strikes up tStar Spangled then the kickoff and you pray to God he muff the first one at least (at the same time feeling pretty confident he Then you settle down for a brief moment before starting the wringing of the hands pressing of the toes more firmly on the bleacher then those funny sounds Mothers make at seeing of hit head-on Part of a job too is tactfully calming an embarrassingly-loud father at times They always see eyc-to-eye with the officials Sleet snow hail rain or sandstorm couldn't keep us away In glad to be an MAA I hope football lasts another hundred don't Sportingly Mrs Jack Jordan Jr PS Even though the Rangers didn't come in first they gave us an awful lot of pleasure and our thanks go to Coach Simmons and the rest of the My sincere thanks go to Mrs Jordan for taking the time to write this letter I'm really glad to see a parent take to much Interest in her team I recall earlier this year when the Rangers played at Cisco on a cold rainy night Among the few fans in the stands backing KC were the Jordans Their son Geary has played some fine football for the Rangers the past two seasons and is one of the top candidates for

a TCU bid at the Texas 27 and the Longhorns put the game out of reach with two more first half scores One was on an 80-yard march climaxed by fullback Steve Worsteds 1-yard plunge and the other came with 43 seconds left in the half Charles Speyrer hauled in an 18-yard pass from quarterback James Street after setting up the score with a 37-yard punt return second team went in midway through the third quarter and sub Eddie Phillips threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Ken Ehrig who was 20 yards in the clear victory was particularly convincing when it remembered that underdog TCU teams have knocked off unbeaten Longhorn squads twice in the past 10 years costing Texas possible national championships in 1959 and 1961 Texas tight end Tommy Woodard suffered torn legaments In his knee on punt
