Officials aim at fans of football Texas lottery lets sports lovers play THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN— State officials Mon day hoped to cash in on Texas' love of football by offering a new scratch-card game called “Touch down." “Football season is here at last, and our new Texas lottery Touch down game is going to give play ers a new opportunity to win by outscoring their opponents," State Lottery Director Nora Linares said. Officials introduced the game at a news conference in the north end zone of Memorial Stadium on the University of Texas cam pus. In the game, players scratch the latex covering off spots marked “Your Score y ' and “Their Score." If “Your Score" is higher than “Their Score," the player wins the dollar amount under the “Prize" box. There are two games on each $1 ticket. Prizes range from $1 to $500. With nearly 20 million of the 100 million tickets being a winner, the game offers about a 1 in 5 chance of winning. That's the highest odds of win ning money in any of the five scratch-cardf games,although the vast majority of "Touchdown" winners — 15.6 million tickets — are $1 winners. Doctor questions validity of TB test on Mexican steers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON- A doctor has questioned the credibility of a tu berculosis test used on steers im ported from Mexico, as some physicians and federal officials are worried the cattle could spread a bovine form of TB to hu mans. Dr. Terry Beals, executive di rector of the Texas Animal Health Commission, said although cases of “mycobacterium bovis" in hu mans have been extremely rare, he believes it is a “big potential problem." The disease can be transmitted through the air, meat and milk, although pasteurization makes milk transmission unlikely. Mexican veterinarians must test the imported cattle for TB, but Beals claimed there is some question about the test's credibili ty- Nearly 1.2 million Mexican steers were imported last year, and many of them came through Texas. Spread of TB among domestic cattle has been limited by rigid U.S. quarantine rules. Dr. Jeffrey Starke, director of the Childrens Tuberculosis Clinic at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston and chairman of a state TB advi sory committee, agreed that im portation of steers “raises a po tential health threat to people."
