Longhorns still team to beat
By PAUL McGRATH
Staff Sports Writer
Hark, is that a chink in the Texas
Longhorns’ orange armor? On
paper at least, the team that has won
the last three Southwest Confer
ence track championships and 34 of
the 59 total SWC meets, appears to
have lost its aura of invincibility.
Of the sixteen events that com
prise the title meet, the Longhorns
have individual leaders in four. The
Horn weightmen, Dana Leduc and
Jim McGoldrick, lead the league in
the shot and discus and look like
shoe-ins with possible competition
coming from Rice. Texas leads in
just one other category, the
440-yard relay. The quartet of John
Lee, Billy Jackson, Overton Spence
and Marvin Nash turned in a 39.8
quarter in the Texas Relays. Robert
Primeaux heads the 440-yard hur
dles with a 52.3.
However, two other schools also
maintain leadership in three indi
vidual events — Baylor and Texas
A&M. Again, for both squads, two
of the three leading roles are in field

Table service for family dining after 5. And drive-thru

HOUSTON (AP) — Cliff Johnson
and pitcher James Rodney Richard
each knocked in two runs in a six-
run fourth inning and the Houston
Astros struck for eight more runs in
the seventh en route to a 14-2 rout of
the Atlanta Braves Wednesday
night.
After a single by Cesar Cedeno
produced Houston’s first run of the
game, the Astros scored five more in
the fourth as Johnson contributed a
two-run single and Richard a two-
run double.
The Braves scored single runs in
the fifth and seventh before the As
tros came back with their big
seventh inning, when 13 Houston
players came to the plate. Milt May
keyed the rally with a sacrifice bunt
and then capped it with an RBI
single.
Richards allowed five hits and one
unearned run before departing in
the fifth. Under baseball rules, a
starting pitcher must complete five
innings in order to pick up a victory.
Roberts permitted three hits and
one run in the final 4 and 1-3 in
nings.
In the Houston seventh, south
paw Tom House could only record
one out while facing nine batters.
Doug Rader’s two-run single was
the big hit against him. Roric Harri
son finished up for the Braves.
Rader, Enos Cabell and Roger
Metzger each collected three hits as
Houston had 15 overall while taking
the rubber game of their three-
game series at the Astrodome.
Every Astro regular drove in at least
one run except for Rob Andrews,
the rookie second baseman.

If you want special bait,
make your own at home
By BRUCE L. SUBLETT
Outdoor Writer
'V-.1
Have you ever been too broke to
buy baits? Or have you wanted a
certain bait that’s just not on the
market?
If you have any handicraft talent
at all, you can build your own baits
and save a bundle. Bait building can
keep you occupied when there’s no
thing on the tube but Dragnet re
runs, too.
The easiest home built lure is the
plastic worm. It takes about a $5.00
investment to get started, but if you
use a gob of
worms like I do,
it’s a money saver
in the long run.
The necessi
ties for worm
pouring are
molds, raw plas
tic, , an old pan,
a spoon and a
heat source.
After the raw plastic has heated
until it’s clear and the consistency
of syrup, pour it slowly into the
mold, let it cool, then pull out the
finished product. That’s all there is
to it.
Each home poured worm costs
about three cents, quite a bit cheap
er than the seven to twelve cents
for a commercial worm. You can
save even more by remelting old
worms to make new ones.
Besides saving you cash, home
poured worms are a means of self-
expression. If you want a lavender
worm with a maroom tail, nothing
will stop you. The only problem is
finding the right colors. Almost any
shade can be mixed from the basic
color plastics.
If you can turn out decent worms,
try your hand at spinnerbaits. You
need some piano wire, spinner
blades and swivels, skirts, worm
heads or a mold for heads, hooks,
paint, needle nose pliers and a sol
dering tool.
Study a commercial spinner-
bait first to see how the wire is bent,
then start bending your own. Piano
wire is nasty stuff to bend, so pre
pare to bleed a little. Make sure that
all the parts arq on the wire before
you make the final bend, since
piano wire can’t be straightened and
rebent without losing strength.
Solder the worm head and hook
in place on the wire, paint the body,
then add a skirt to complete the
bait. The total cost is about 60 cents,
including manufactured blades.
Cutting your own from scrap
aluminum is cheaper but more
work.
Spinnerbaits take a lot of careful
work, but a good final product is a
personal achievement worth the
effort.
If you’re a real craftsman, you can
carve your own topwater and crank
baits. These take hours of work,
careful planning and a feel for
design.
Cypress is the best wood for bait
carving I’ve found. It works easily,
finishes smoothly and has a natural
water resistance. Redwood, ma
hogany and balsa also make good
baits. Lumber yards will usually
give you scraps big enough to carve
baits from.
"Who’s going to
listen to me?
I’m just one voice?’
Do you really think God is going to
let you get away with that?
Of course, you’d like to help make the world a
better place. Maybe you can’t do it alone. But
there’s plenty you can do with others at your local
church or synagogue. Example: one religious
group helped the Navajos set up a cooperative
trading post on their reservation. Now the
Indians can purchase goods at a lower price.
Even more important, they’ve learned that other
people care about them. The God we worship
expects all of us to help our brothers and sisters.
Start treating your brothers and sisters
like brothers and sisters.

Balancing a handcarved bait is
tricky. Usually they need weights
ward the bottom. A handmade bai
should be sealed before painting,to
keep it from waterlogging and to
give the paint a good base. Hook
should be securely anchored, es
pecially in the softer woods.
Home built baits may not tool E
quite as good as store bought, but
any fish you catch on one gives yot
just a little more satisfaction.
