Fair Association
Reports Best
Fair Ever
The following is a financial
report of the 1975 Dublin Com-
munity Fall Fair.
As Fair '75.got under way in
October, it had a debt of over
$15,000. The new building cost
around $10,000 and the foun-
dation was $5,000.
With the help of the Young
Farmers and FFA boys the Fair
would have been in deep
trouble. These young men and
their Ag teachers. Danny-Prater
and Weldon Whitehead, did an
outstanding job of helping build
the new building in making
ready the '75 Fair. If the Fair
hadn't had this donated labor
from these boys and men, the
debt would have reached a
much high ftgpre.
The Auction grossed $2,000;
Fair cakes before the Auction -
$1,500; Queen tickets - over
$3,000; Stage Coach, Dance -
profit $461. This incoming cash
reduced the $15,000 debt to
$4,000.
. This truly was the best Fair
Dublin has ever had.

Lions Play
Hard In
Final Game
The Lions closed out the 1975
football season against the Early
Longhorns Friday night in
Memorial Field. The Longhorns
came out on top 32-13.
Pre-game activities saw the high
school football players honor
their parents with “Parents
Night".
Dublin won the toss and
elected to receive. After a seven
yard return, the Lions fumbled
and the Longhorns recovered.
Eight plays and 24 yards later,
Early made their first score.
Tommy Herod blocked the kick.
8:42 remained in the first
period.
The Lions could not get
started on their possession and
had to kick. Early took over on
the 38. and four plays later got
their second score. The two-
point conversion try failed.
Dublin’s next possession also
failed to get the offense rolling.
Early took possession at Dub-
lin’s 41 yard line. Darrell Suggs
intercepted a pass to give the
Lions possession on their 17
yard line. After a penalty
against Early and a five yard
loss by the Lions, Claitor took
the'ball up the middle for 74
yards, to the Early nine yard
line. Suggs carried the ball in
for the score. Claitor's kick was
wide. The score, 12-6; the time,
1:23, first quarter.
The Longhorns took over but
were stopped on a fourth down
try. The Lions got the ball at
their 45 yard line. On second
down the Lions fumbled and
Early recovered. They started
on Dublin’s 44 yard line. Sewalt
took the ball in for the score.
The two-point conversion was
good.
Early scored again in the
second quarter, but the con-
version failed. The score, 26-6.
Dublin recovered an Early
fumble at their 37 yard line.
After a 22 yard gain, Tommy
Spencer passed to Butch Walls,
who pitched to Randy Mann.
Mann carried to the Longhorn
eight. Charles Keith carried to
the three, but on fourth down,
with the clock running out,
Spencer’s pass*to Mann was
incomplete to end the Lions'
scoring threat and the half.
Dublin came back in the
second half to allow the Long-
horns only six points. Dublin
took advantage of an Early
fumble on their first play. Mann
recovered on the 19. Three plays
later Johnny McClatchy took a
pitchout from Spencer and
passed to Tommy Duncan for a
24 yard touchdown pass. Claitor
added the extra point. The score
now stood at 26-13 with 11:03
left in the third quarter.
On Early’s next possession
they drove to the Lion 31 yard
line before Duncan recovered a
fumble. The Lions could not
move and had to punt.
The Lions shut down the
Longhorn offense. The Lions
drove to the Longhorn 21 yard
line, but fumbled, and Early
recovered.
The fourth quarter opened
with a Longhorn punt that
carried to the Lion 14 yard line.
This punt could well have saved
the Early victory as it put the
Lions out of good field position.
The seesaw defensive battle
continued until the last minute
of play. Early mounted a scoring
drive with only one minute left
in the ball game, to give Early
their 32-13 margin.
