Bulldogs primed for banner year
With four returning starters
The Clarendon College Bulldogs began basketball practice this Junior Sieglcr of Vernon, who' tips the stick at 6-10, will be
week in preparation for the season opening on Nov. 2, and all
indications point to a successful year for Clarendon College
basketball.
A pre-season poll rates Clarendon in second place behind
Howard County Junior College, but Bulldog coach Jack Hedden
thinks the Bulldogs have a good chance to be in that number one
spot when the season is over.
"We'll certainly be a big contender," Hedden told The Press
Friday. "We've got a good ball team this year."
Workouts began this week, and are held every afternoon.
Hedden said that time is now being spent on fundamentals and
conditioning.
Hedden reports that four starters from last year's team return.
The star of last year's team, 6-5 Joe Pride of Philadelphia,
returns for another big year. Last year, Pride, as a freshman, led
the nation in rebounds, with an average of 22.7 rebounds per
game. His scoring average last year was 21, Hedden says that
his presence, along with his experience, will mean a big boost for
the team.
Herman Brown, a 6-4 man from New York, returns to play on
his last year's performance of 18.5 points per game. Brent
Sherrod of Channing, Texas, who is 6-3, returns from last year,
along with Keith Embry, 5-0, of Morton, Texas; and Evander
Ford of New York.
ready to play this year. He was here last year, but was ineligible.
He made a big name for himself while playing at Vernon High
School year before last.
Hedden reports that he had another good year recruiting.
Among his top recruits are Randy Merkey of Perryton, a 6-6
player who scored over 40 points in a game against Canyon last
year. He can play either guard or forward.
Another top player, Joe Evans of Abernathy, should see a lot
of action this season. He is 6-3.
Archie Hughes of Philadelphia, another recruit this year, did
an outstanding job at his school last year. Richard Wiley of New
York, a 6-5 forward, and Steve Amerin of Albuquerque, at 6-5,
fill out the list of new recruits.
Hedden pointed out that these players from the northern part
of the nation come to him compliments of scouts from larger
schools. He explained that large colleges spend large budgets on
recruiting, then send the names of players they don't get to
smaller schools such as Clarendon. This aids a school like
Clarendon very much in getting\\;good players from far away.
The Bulldogs open their seasootn November 2, but they will
scrimmage Cameron College of Lawton on Oct. 20. That game
will be played here.
"It looks like a promising season," Hedden concluded.

Electric skillet Billy Hill Gulf Service
conserves power Hwy. 287 West Clarendon, Texas
With the growing emphasis
on power shortages, prepare
one-dish meals in an electric
skillet.
"The average electric skillet
uses less power than a range
element--and far less than an
oven," according to Mrs, Doris
Myers, home management
specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
Texas A&M University System.
Besides conserving electrical
power, ,it saves "homemaker
energy' too. A meal cooked and
served in the same container
saves clean-up time, she noted.
"Unfortunately, many home-
makers' electric skillets take up
valuable storage space without
getting used.
"It's pretty costly to own and
not use such an appliance," the
specialist said.
"It's also expensive to
mistreat it. Proper care and
maintenance play important
roles in conservation of
resources--by avoiding un-
necessary breakdowns, repairs
and expenses. '
Remove acid and salty foods
as quickly as possible to avoid
pitting the cooking surface.
Let the skillet cool to room
temperature before washing it,
Mrs. Myers continues. "Cold
water in a hot pan causes
warping.
"For best performance, wash
skillet after each use with hot
sudsy water. Also clean the
outside and underneath to avoid
burned grease build-up."
Steel wool can be used on
stainless steel or aluminum
pans--but only plastic or rubber
scrubbers on teflon-coated ones,
she added.
