Ever since the day Heddon came
out with the Dowagiac, the grand-
addy of today s modern artificial
lure, fishermen have looked forward
to new products every spring.
This year offers something bigger,
something smaller, something
cheaper and something improved,
but not much really new.
The something bigger is the 200
horsepower V-6 outboard motor by
OMC. This monster is available from
Evinrude and Johnson for about
$3,000. Mercury isn’t far behind
with their V-6 175 horsepower Black
Max. On the bigger bass boats, these
motors can actually be more econom
ical than a smaller motor because
they will push the boat fast enough
without the penalty of full throttle
operation.
Toward the other end, OMC has
introduced a compact 35 horsepower
outboard that’s big enough for power
but small enough to be economical.
The something smaller is an ul
tralight version of Garcia’s Ambas-
sadeur reel. It’s the 2500C, a
scaled-down version of the 5500C
high speed ball bearing baitcasting
reel. The little reel is designed to
handle 6 to 12 pound test line. This
reel fills the need for the fisherman
who wants to go light without having
to go to a spinning rig. The reel is
small, but the price is right up there
with its big brothers.
Somethings cheaper are two lines
of rods from top quality manufactur
ers. Browning has introduced a line
called Silaflex STD, which will sell
for $28.95 each. That may not sound
cheap, but compared to the price of a
first-grade Browning Silaflex, it is.
Lew’s Fuji Speed Stick is market
ing a rod called the Bear Stick. It’s
just a rough version of the Tourna
ment Grade Speed Stick. It has the
same ceramic guides and contoured
handle, but it sells for about $18 in
stead of $25 for the Speed Stick. For
the bassman trying to balance
economy with quality, this is a top
value.
Participation and depth will be the
backbone of the A&M Consolidated
High School track team this year.
Coach James Giese said Tuesday.
The team has 12 lettermen, 13
seniors and a total of 85 students
from freshmen to seniors.
“I don’t know of an event that we’ll
win,” Giese said about the ability to

Something improved is the new
Motor-Guide Hawg electric trolling
motor. It combines the raw power of
a 24-volt motor with the light current
draw from the battery of a 12-volt.
To accomplish this, Motor-Guide
put a 12-volt armature in a 24-volt
permanent magnet, something we
old slotcar freaks did all the time.
Our rewound motors kept burning
up. Hopefully, Motor-Guide has
whipped the problem.

team second.
Looking at lures, I can’t see much
really new except Cotton Cordell’s
Crazy Tail. The Crazy Tail looks like
a cross between a Hot Spot and a Big
O, but smaller. I haven’t tried one
yet, but they look like killers.
Most of the other “new” products
debuting this year are just remakes
of the same old thing, repainted and
fancied up to make them sell better.

Refs ire Egan
as Rockets lose
Associated Press
BOSTON — In victory, Coach
Tommy Heinsohn of the Boston Cel
tics was ripping mad at the Houston
Rockets and the officials. In defeat,
Houston Coach Johnny Egan was
equally unhappy with referees Bill
Jones and Jake O’Donnell.
Heinsohn charged the Rockets
even have a set play in which one of
their smaller players, such as guards
Mike Newlin and Calvin Murphy,
does an acting job by falling down.
Egan countered “not so,” and ac
cused the officials of losing control
after Boston’s big Dave Cowens
“came back into the game and went
crazy” as the Celtics rallied Wed
nesday night for a 103-102 National
Basketball Association victory.
BEAUMONT, Tex. — The Texas
A&M football team is forsaking the
Wishbone-T in favor of a formation
with two running backs, the Aggies’
offensive coordinator says.
“The wishbone is no longer a part
of the,Texas A&M offense,” Tom
Wilson said in a surprise announce
ment Tuesday night before the
Beaumont A&M club. “We will go to
a two-back, split-back offense. I’m
looking forward to seeing it in spring
training and going into it next fall.”
Wilson said this was the first pub
lic announcement of A&M’s future
offensive plans.
The decision is somewhat ironic in
that A&M’s head coach, Emory Bel-
lard, was instrumental in installing
the Wishbone-T while he was an as
sistant at Texas, which first used the
formation in major college football.
“We feel as if the wishbone just
did not give us enough versatility,”
Wilson said. “The wishbone is an of
fense that you run when you can out-
personnel people, but sooner or later
you’ll come up against people as
good as you who throw nine people
up on the line and dare you to throw.
“That happened to us in the Ar
kansas game (a 31-6 Aggie defeat). ”
