TO report when the practice is

Naturally, no cost-share

cordance with Agricultural
Conservation program require
ments," Mr.. Iversen said. 'But
Wnen IL Is reported as COM

found to be ok, then we pre-
pare the check right here and
mail it to the payee. Before

this new method may reduce

us some work here, although
this will be partially offset by

COTTON BOWL A HOMECOMING
Navy Tackle Freeman
Once Played for SMU
BY ROBERT SOMAIERs
Star staff Writer


For Tackle Jim Freeman,
Nays Cotton Bowl meeting
with Texas is more than a
challenge by the Nations
second-ranking team to the
Nations first ranking team.
He's also out for q little re-
venge TO make up for one of
life's more embarrassing mo-
ments.
Freeman once played fresh
man football at Southern
Methodist and one Of the
teams he played against was
the Texas frosh.
Freeman was an end in that
game. He caught a 34-yard
pass. ran it to the Texas two
yard line, was hit and fumbled.
The Longhorns recovered and
went on to beat SMU, 1T.
Barring an extremely unlike
~ maneuver, Freeman will
catch no passes for the Middies
on New Years Day. He was
converted to q tackle during
spring practice after his fresh
man season at SMU and now is
regarded as one Of the top
linemen in the East.
Freeman started about half
Nays games last season,
moving to the first team when
Ron Tesla failed TO live up to
expectations.
He started all but one game
this season, dropping to the
second unit when his consid-
cradle speed was cut down by a
slight leg injury.
This will be a Homecoming
of sorts for the 6-foot-2, 30
pound junior. His home Is in
Denison. Texas. which Is moi
far from Dallas, the Cotton
Bowl site.
1t will be a Homecoming ir
other ways, also. He played
against all the Texas seniors ir
that freshman game and he Is
extremely familiar with Staley
Faulkner. who probably will
play against Freeman in the
Texas line.
Faulkner went to Denton
High, also in Texas, and came
UP against Freeman when
Denton met DeniSon. Freeman
has things in common with
Duke Carlisle. the Longhorns
ok, also-like the
same high school coach.
Herman Bailey ache d
Carlisle when Duke was q
junior at Athens (Tex) High
The next year he switched to
Denison and coached Freeman
who was then a senior.
1t waS Bailey who originally
switched Freeman to tackle
Jim had played all 10 Of Deni-
sons games as a center before
Bailey arrived. He played four
games as a carrier under Bal
ley, who then moved him to
guard for one game and finally
to tackle for the remaining
five.
Then he played end for the
SMU freshmen, and the follow
ing spring he was changed
back to a tackle, where he has
remained ever since.
