i So' Green And Company Lead Sterling To 13-6 By HEXRf HOLCOIB DEER PARK The youthful Ross Sterling High School Rangers thundered from behind in the second half to edge Deer Park 13-5 Friday night here. It was only the second game in varsity play for the new Baytown school. They won the first with a 29-12 come from behind victory over MacArthur of Aidine last week. Fridays win gives the Rangers a 1-0 12-4A district record and serves notice to future opponents that the young team is not to be taken lightly. The Ranger's next test will come Friday in Galveston against Ball High.

Both Ranger touchdowns here Friday were scored by the speedy halfback Melvin "Bo" Green. The first six pointer came when Green caught a Deer pant on the Ranger He raced upfield, eluding tacklers and winding his wav past midfield. Then a fullback Ronnie Smith opened the door with a key block. Moonlight poured in. Green turned on the steam and won a foot race to the goal line.

Mike' Molaison's extra point kick was good. The Rangers led for the first time, with 9:16 left in the third quarter. The other Ranger scoring drive came midway in the fourth quarter. The Rangers moved out from their own nine where they received tfie ball on a Richard Scott punt. The ball was kicked from midfield.

Ricky Hart fielded the punt and tried to find running room, only to be swarmed under on his own nine by a hard driving Deer defense. The Rangers drive faltered after four plays at the 15. A roughing 4he kicker penalty gave Sterling new life with a first down on its own 30. Hart ran twice, moving the baU out to the 36 the drive broke open with a 14-yard sprint through left tackle by fullback Ken Alderson. Green hit heavy traffic at the center for no gam, then quar- terback Mike Manlev kept and sliced through the line fo 12 yards.

Alderson added two. Manley kept again for 10 more, and a first on the Deer 25- Hart gained nine on a reverse around left end to the Deer 16. Green exploded through the side on a slant pattern for 16 yards and the touchdown. A pass for two points failed and the score was: Rangers 13, Deer Park 6. The second half recovery by the Rangers spoiled the Deer's second attempt season.

It also spoiled their second effort to win a game before the proud home fans in the beautiful new 12.003-seat Clyde Abshier Sta- aium. About 5.000 fans watched the contest under clear moonlit skies. The game was by no means one- Coach Roland Kudla the Rangers a lot of time discussing lh-j first half mistakes that kept the Deer in control. The Deer won the toss and received the opening kickoff. The Rangers held on the Deer's second series of downs and forced a punt from the Ranger 34.

Mauley mrsde a first down with a run on the first play from scrimmage, but the Ranic- fumbled and lost possession on the next. The Deer took over at their own 4. Jerry Acosta, who led the Ranger defensive forces all night, intercepted Deer quarterback Mike McColloch's first pass. Thus that mistake was "erased" and the Rangers were back in business on the Deer 44. The drive faltered momentarily on a busted play and a fumble at the- Deer 14.

Sterling recovered the fumble, but ran out of downs one play later. The Deer took over. Their first and only scoring drive was underway. Tailback Robert Pearce al most ran away on the- first play. He was finally slopped at the Deer 21 by Acosta and Harold (See RANGERS, Page 9) TJie San Invites MR.

ROSSER AND HIS BUGGY PAPERWEIGHTS Bugs Under Glass Provide Hobby For Highlands Man Most 'people's interest bug 1 md insects 15 how to get rid of them, but H.

H. Rosser of Highlands collects them. His unusual hobby began several summers ago when two of Rosser's six children brought an interesting beetle to their 'ather. Rosser. an employe at Humbles Baytown Refinery, thought it might be fun to preserve the beetle, and encased it some casting resin he bought at a hobby shop.

After some experimentation, losser perfected his technique. Soon he was preserving more and more specimens, and gradually developed a hobby. Word of his hobby soon spread and people began bringing him -arious bugs and insects. "I get wamped at times." he said, addine. "It's made rae insect conscious, I'm always looking, for something different." To preserve a creature, he first finds an appropriate sized mold.

The mold can be anything such as an ashtray jar, or sugar bowl, but it must have a smooth surface, Rosser used a pencil case as a mold for a centipede. Next he partially fills the mold with resin and lets it dry. Then he drops the specimen in alcohol to painlelssly kill it, and lets the alcohol dry. Finally he places the specimen on top of the dried resin, and fills the rest of the mold with more resin. Once the resin dries he removes the mold and has another interesting paperweight.

In a routine mounting takes about two bom's. This process is not always as simple as it sounds. When he mounts a spider or other erect creature, be has to carefully prop it up with toothpicks so it will look natural. Rosser's first experience was a huge tarantula. It required much trial and error to keep the hairy spider up, then remove the props as the resin dried.

Rosser has given away many of his creations, but saves the most unusual ones for his own collection. Last year the Lee College library put them on display, and the elementary school in Highlands also borrowed them. "In addition to being an interesting pastime," Rosser says of his creations, "they make a good conversation piece." DORIA LIVES AS SHE HEARS SHOR Road, Flood Control Bond Issue Studied By BOBBY SUTPHIN Harris County Commissioner V.

Astrohall, home of the Livestock Show, and the con- struction site of Astroworld, where a multimillion-dollar entertainment extravaganza will rise to rival the West Coast's Disneyland.

By BILL HOUSTON CSp) The mantle of secrecy surrounding the As- troworld was lifted here Saturday. At a noon press conference. Judge Roy Hofheinz revealed that the new "elaborate, high quality, rnuiti million dollar family amusement and entertainment center is now under construction just south of the Astrodome and will open in thej late summer of I96S. coupled with the Astrodome and Astrohal! will provide the complex of family enjoyment, sports entertainment, convention and show facilities in the world." Judge Hofheinz said. The fabled Hofheinz, whose career started in Houston while in high school promoting student affairs, appears to have just about reached his zenith.

He knows it takes money to make the wheels go 'round, and he predicted that "this rate complex is destined to be-! come the world's greatest tour-! ist attraction, bringing millions into th Harris County rconorhy." The judge's new plans are some of his most ambitious since he apparently placed hisj law books on the shelf and went) mto the entertainment business! 100 per cent, i A former youthful stare repre-j sentative. Former Harris Cour-j ty Judge and erstwhile mayor of Houston, Judge Hofheinz is now back at his first love putting on a show. He already operates the Astrodome, the Houston National! League baseball team as well' as Houston's new franchise in the Houston Apollos in the Central Hockey League. Superlatives that even Judge Hofheinz had never used before came sliding oct as he described the new venture. Here's one of them: A total of 2,000 tons of central air conditioning will cool all shade areas, including al! buildings, waiting areas, picnic umbrellas and many of the rides.

This air conditioning tonnage is four times that of any other outdoor amusement park. The undercrround chilled water system is also the largest in the world. The entertainment area will encompass 56 acres in its initial phase but could be expanded to 116 acres in the future. (See ASTKOWOKLD, Page 5).
