Full House

The House Ways and Means Committee approved and sent to the full House today a temporary $70-billion increase in the nation's debt ceiling--enough to allow the government to keep operating until Oct. 31. The increase, at the request of the Treasury Department, would hike the debt ceiling from its current $2.8 trillion to $2.87 trillion.

You've heard of a "full house" backfield, but La Quinta employed its "crowded house" backfield in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 49-0 loss to Pacifica. Aztec Coach Fred Valko turned to his senior offensive linemen. Germaine Delgado (255 pounds), James Howard (250), Tom Clark (215) and Aron Lenaerts (290) took turns rushing the ball.
