A &M Consolidated High
School's band won its fourth
consecutive first division
(superior) rating in University
Interscholastic League regional
marching competition Tuesday.
The competition held in New
Braunfels was the first leg in
sweepstakes band designation,
according to director W.L.
Atkins. If Consol makes a first
division in both the concert and
sight reading contests in spring,
it will be named a sweepstakes
band, also for the fourth con-
secutive year.
Atkins said this winning streak
is the longest for a 3-AAA band in
the area.
Bands compete against
standards, rather than each
other, in UIL regional contests.
Ratings 'run from first to fifth.
Mrs. Margaret McArthur is
assistant band director.

car, nearly cutting it in
half.
Wusterhausen's death,
the first at the modern
racing facility, came as
a shock to drivers,
mechanics, and fans
alike. Speedway official
Ed Hamblin, who count-
ed Wusterhausen among
his closest friends, said
that he was deeply sad-
dened by the tragic crash.
"Louis was a very close
friend of mine," he said,
"and I will miss him.
But you've got to under-
stand that these men live
with death everyday. He
would have felt that if he
had delayed the race five
minutes, he probably
would have died from a
heart attack while wait-
ing for the start. He was
aware that his time might
come, as all the drivers
are, and he was ready
for it."
Ron Hutcherson, the
Keokuk, Iowa rookie on
the ARCA circuitthatwon
Sunday's 300 mile event,
said that the race wasn't
as tough as he had ex-
pected.
"I thought it would be
harder than it was," he
said. "The car ran per-
fect, the pit crew did
their job, and everything
fell into place for the
win.
"I would like to come
back in November for the
big race," he said, "but
it might be too expen-
sive to prepare the car
to meet NASCAR stand-
ards. We will sure be
here if we are able,
though."
The crowd at Sunday's
race was encouraging,
according to speedway of-
ficials. They considered
the tournout good, con-
sidering that the drivers
were mostly unknown, and
that the football season is
in full swing.
The next event at TWS
will be a 500 -mile duel
between some of the top
stock car drivers in the
country. The cream of
the NASCAR and USAC
circuits will be compet-
ing for first place in the
third annual Texas 500
to be run November 12.
