-Junior Varsity
Closes Season
At Carlsbad
Kermit’s junior varisty
will close out the 1969
football season tonight
(Thursday) when they
travel to Carlsbad to take
on their JV. Game time is
8 p.m. CST.
Coach Mike Quimby’s
gridders won their last
outing, a thrilling 13-6 win
over Pecos here Thursday.
The Kermit defense staged
a, fine last half effort to
stave off the Pecos running
attack, and preserve the
victory.
Eighth Grade
Aland B Teams
Lose To Pecos
East Pecos jumped off to a
quick two-touchdown lead,
and went on to a 24-8 win over
Kermit eighth grade Saturday
in 'Pecos. The loss brought
Coach Travis Underwood’s
team record to 6-3-1 for the
year,
Kermit kicked off to start
the game and Pecos returned
all the way for a touchdown.
The conversion attempt was no
good, and East Pecos had a 6-0
lead.
Two plays later, Kermit
fumbled and Pecos
immediately scored on a long
pass. With only 1:48 gone in
the; initial quarter, the host
team had a 12-0 margin.
Another long pass paid off
for* Pecos, still in the first
period, and the score mounted
to Jt8-0.
Kermit finally got on the
scoreboard in the second
quarter, when Beinjy Unger
raced around end for a 40-yard
touchdown jaunt. Luis
Rodriquez added the
two-pointer, and the score was
18-8.
There was no scoring in the
third period, but in the fourth,
Kermit gave up the ball deep in
their own territory, and Pecos
used the pass for another
touchdown.
Underwood said all the
playe», both on offense and
defense, played a fine game.
The contest ended the season
for the eighth graders.
EIGHTH B TEAM
LOSES TO WEST PECOS
The eighth grade B team
took on West Pecos Saturday,
and although much smaller
than their opponents, did a
fine job, losing 28-8. Coach
Travis Underwood had words
of praise for the team, but said
they just did not have the size
to compete with their larger
opponents.
Pecos scored in each
quarter, and Kermit tallied its
lone touchdown in the final
period on a two-yard plunge by
Bobby Clark. Kenny Hix made
the two-point conversion.

punts and tackled a runner in
the end zone for a safety, to
completely demolish the Fort
Stockton ninth grade last
Thursday, 46-14.
Five players got in qn the
scoring as Coach Joe Marlett
played his entire squad, with
each boy getting in at least a
quarter. Jerry Adams and
Larry Purcell each scored a
couple of touchdowns and
Gary Shaver and JaCky Mills
tallied one each.
Mills added four points on
conversions and Adams and
Sammy Hay good each; made
two points, Pat Stidham

made by Adams, Mills and
Charles Hammond. The win
brings Marlett’s team record to
5-3 for the year.

Injury Plagued Jackets
To Test Seminole Friday
Fans Reminded
To Deposit Stubs
Holders of 1969 season football tickets who want to
keep the same seats next year can do so by turning in their
ticket stubs at Friday night’s game with Seminole.
Special boxes will be placed at each gate so that
ticket holders can deposit their stubs.
Holders should print their names plainly on that part
of the stub giving the section, row, and seat number before
depositing it in the box.
Persons who cannot attend the game and who want
to retain the same seats can do so by mailing the stubs to
Austin Roberts, Business Manager, Kermit Public Schools,
Drawer S, or bring them by the school business office
, personally.
“Holders do not obligate themselves in any way to
purchase the 1970 tickets,” Roberts said, “but the same
seats will be available to them next year when the tickets go
on sale.”

BY MIKE MAIKELL
Latest casualty reports from
the football war continue to
mount, with the snake-bitten
Kermit Yellow Jackets
suffering more losses each
week.
This bulletin has been a
weekly affair for Coach Don
Kaye Brown, since the 1969
campaign began. First, starting
quarterback Mike Whitehead
and starter Jim Williams at
wingback, got knocked out for
the year.
Then John Bounds and
Bobby Upton, the other backs,
were in and out of the lineup.
Guard Roger Lofton got the
mumps, missed one game, went
back in, suffered a relapse, and
is out again.
Now, the injury bug has
struck again. Defensive starter
at end, Randy Davis hurt a
kneee at Andrews; his
replacement, Chris Allen, also
got a knee injury, and Kary
Duncan twisted an ankle in
practice. To top it off, Tim
Moore, who has been at the
quarterback spot (since
Whitehead went out, developed
a case of mononucleosis, and is
also out for this week’s finale
with the Seminole Indians.
But, that’s not all. Brown
announced that four players,
including three starters, have
been dropped from the squad
for disciplinary reasons.
So, for this week’s game
with the Indians, Jacket fans
will be seeing some new faces
in the starting lineup.
The Kermit coach said it
will be tough to go up against
the Indians with all that
personnel out of action, but
feels he has the type of boys
who will put out 100 per cent
effort.
Joe Dunlop, 150-pound
junior, will man the
quarterback post, Jim Payne,
186-pound senior will be at left
guard, and David Sheen,
161 -pound junior, will start at
right guard.
The remainder of the
starting offensive unit will be
the same, with Max Swafford
at left end; Larry Brown at left
tackle; Carl Tillery at center;
Gaza Seabolt at right tackle;
and Bucky Thompson at split
end.
Bobby Upton, Bounds and
Trey Williams round out the
offensive backfield with
Dunlop.
Brown was undecided about
the defensive lineup, and said
he would wait until later in the
week to make a decision.
The Seminole team is 2-2 in
district play, same as the
Jackets. They got stomped by
Monahans, but came back to
knock the Andrews Mustangs
out of the race, 3-0.
Brown said the Indians have
a good ball club, and have fair
size, especially on defense. Ray
Hitch, 245; Everett Haller,
225; and Ricky Thornberry,
194, give the Seminoles plenty
of beef up front. They use a
4-5 defense, with the
cornerbacks up close.
On offense, the Indians run
from the wishbone T, and use a

lot of wide stuff, with
150-pound Lavern Bennett
handling the ball. Jacket fans
will remember the speedster
from last year’s wide-open
game. Fullback Frank Gady,
176, runs the power plays, and
quarterback, Danny
Whisenhunt, is a fair passer,
and runs the option play very
well.
A win would give Kermit a
3-2 district record, and 6-4 for
the year.

AMOS FUDDLE
His Column
Brownfield’s win over the Sweetwater Mustangs, Odessa’s
victory over Midland and Kermit’s loss to Andrews ruined what
could have been a perfect week for me. The total for the week
was 13 right, 3 wrong, to make the season record, 94 right, 29
misses, for .764.
This will be Fuddle’s swan song for this year. I’v got to get
back to the farm up in the South Plains and gather that turnip
crop. That’s about all I will have to eat this winter, since the
boss got crabby and paid me on a percentage basis. Oh well, it’s
been fun, and even though our Jackets didn’t win ’em all, they
really put out every game, and made us proud. They’ll beat the
Indians this week and make it 64 for the year.
Gotta guess on some of the bi-district games this week,
and they’ll be tough. We see them this way:
KERMIT 20—SEMINOLE 14—The Jackets jell again like
they did in the Pecos game, and close out the season with a
victory. Indians will make them hump for the win.
MONAHANS 27—PECOS 12—Loboes not about to let the
Eagles slip up, with the district championship at stake.
Monahans has too much depth and will wear Pecos down.
ANDREWS 46-FT. STOCKTON 0-The frustrated
Mustangs,Who are the best team in the district in our
estimation, will take out their anger on the hapless Panthers.
They might let Stockton slip in with a touchdown.
ESTACADO 28-SNYDER 13-The Matadors ease by the
Tigers in zone playoffs, and look forward to their bi-district
game.
WF HIRSHI 14—BROWNWOOD 7-Another zone game,
with a possible reversal of the score. Both teams are tough and
either one could prevail.
ABILENE COOPER 21-AMARILLO PALO DURO
14—Cougars to get a real test, but should get by this one.
REAGAN COUNTY 22-MARFA 7-The Owls are
improving every week and are too tough for the Shorthorns.
SEAGRAVES 26-ROSCOE 7-The Eagles have shown
too much all year to be picked as losers. They are capable of
going all the way.
VAN HORN 13—SONORA 7—We are going out on a limb,
but the Eagles have been consistent all year.

DEER HUNTER OR
FOOT RACER?
Foot racing has no place in
the specialized art ofkTleer
hunting but it’s amazing how
many hunters apparently
consider it an essential
ingredient for success. And
there always seems to be a foot
racer or two in every deer
hunting party ... a gent who
believes in covering as much
ground as possible in one day.
From dawn, when he strikes
out for the farthest ridge, until
he returns W dusk, the foot
racer keeps moving. I might
add that some “foot racers”
have transferred their activities
to jeeps and other vehicles such
as trail bikes.
But the old style foot racer
is still with us. He travels
mostly in a straight line,
crashing through thickets and
blowdowns, through cedar
breaks and cactus flats,
squishing through swamps,
climbing straight up over hills
and ridges, sweating and
puffing. He’s in a hurry to get
to a place he never seems to
reach. If you’ve hunted deer
for any length of time you’re
familiar with this character.
He notices little of the

more than anyone in camp, but
seldom kills anything other
than time. His chief target is
the familiar white flash of a

such a target is seldom hit.
