clock at Wildcat Stadium in Canadian for a
non-conference football game.

The Rattlers, state champ-
ions in 1956 and possessors of
a 9-1 record last season, were
picked in pre season rankings
as one of the top Class A
teams in this area, but after
defeating the Clarendon Bron-
cos 14 to 6 in the season's
opener, the Rattlers have
been tied twice on successive
week-ends.
Coach Don Light's charges
upset the dope - bucket two
weeks ago by playing the fa-
vored White Deer Bucks of
District 2-A to a 6-6 tie; and
were upset themselves last
week-end when they were tied
14-14 by the Panhandle Pan-
thers of District 2-A.
The Wildcats have won two
games and lost one so far
this season; defeating Class B
Wheeler 46 to 14 in the open-
er, and Class AA Shamrock
32 to '8 last week-end. Their
only loss was a respectable
40-20 decision to the powerful
Class A A Perryton Rangers.
With eleven lettermen re-
turning from their successful
1957 team, the Rattlers are
expected to be tough oppon-
ents for everybody this sea-
son, and are generally picked
to win the District 1-A title.
Back from 1957 to form an
experienced nucleus for this
year's team are Tommy Her-
ring, Joe Bain, Mackey Brown,
Bob Karr, Latty Anderson,
Donnie Anderson, Sam Lily,
Johnny Thompson, Joe Ather-
ton, Jackie Reed and Harold
Dawson ... all of them reg-
ulars last year.
The two teams did not meet
last year. In their last meet-
ing, at Stinnett, the Wildcats
lost a hard-fought decision.
Friday night's game is ex-
pected to be another thriller.
Coach Grady Burnett's Wild-
cats will go into the game at
top strength. So far in three
games the squad has suffered
no injuries.

AUGSBURG. Germany <AH-

nutt, whose wife, Jo Ann. and

Wildkittens trounce Lefors
Canadian's Kittens blasted
the Lefors Junior Pirates 40 to
8 last Thursday night at Le-
fors to open the 1958 Junior
High conference football sea-
son.
The Kittens got off to a
fast start with two touch-
downs in the first quarter and
led 16-0 at the end of the
frame.
Danny Briggs scored the
flrsrt TD on a 15-yard scamper
around right end, and Gordon
Rivers went through right
guard for the extra two points.
A few plays after the next
kick-off, Wayne Perk'-* re-
covered a Pirate fumb -t
the Kittens needed just three
plays for their second score.
Gordon Rivers circled left end
on a long jaunt for the touch-
down, and Wayne Wilson div-
ed across for the extra two-
The Kittens scored again
early in the second period
when Wayne Wilson circled
left end for a touchdown, and
Danny Briggs added the extra
two points.
Another Lefors fumble mid-
way in the second quarter set
up the fourth Kitten touch-
down. The Kittens moved
quickly Inside the Pirate 20-
yard line, and Robert Lewis

Voters okay
city funding
Only 16 oppose bonds in light vote;
new generator is already on order
Canadian voters overwhelmingly approved a
$175,000 city bond issue in a special election
Tuesday, and orders have already been placed
for a new 1250 kilowatt generator to be installed
at the City Power and Light plant next spring.
Light voting Tuesday
brough" out little opposition
to the ,.t issue.
The vote was 146 for the is-
sue. and only 16 opposed.
An $80.000 bond issue for
water, sewer system, and elec-
tric light plant improvements
had been approved two
months ago by a 2 to 1 mar-
gin. 186 for to 92 against . . .
with 278 citizens voting. Only
162 votes were cast in Tues-
day's special election.
Interest in the July bond
election, however, had been
spurred by an eleventh-hour
campaign against the issue
from the "Committee on
Truth" ... an element which
was conspicuously missing
this week.
Mayor L. B. (Curlyi Owens
«aid Wednesday morning, af-
ter the bond issue had been
carried, that orders had al-
ready been confirmed for the
new generator.
A tentative contract had
been approved by the City
Commission prior to the elec-
tion. subject to approval of
the voters at the special elec-
tion. with the White Diesel
Motor Company, low bidders
on the installation.
The White Company had
won the contract with a low
bid of S154.040 for a 1250 kilo-
watt Superior generator en-
gine . . . the contract figure
covering installation of the
generator on foundation, rea-
dy to operate; but the City
will have to construct a build-
ing to house it.
The contract calls for in-
stallation to be completed in
150 days, which would mean
that the generator will be in
service next spring, well
ahead of anticipated peak
loads which will come with
warm weather.
The City plans to construct
an addition to the present
plant to house the new gen-
erator.
Sister of George
Cronister dies
in California
Mrs. Janie Brown, 74. died
Sunday night at ner numc in
Fresno, California. She had
visited here just a month ago
with her brother, George Cro-
nister.
Mrs. Brown Is survived by
three sons and three daugh-
ters. and one brother, George
Cronister.
Graveside rites will be held
in Higgins Friday morning at
10 o'ciock.
Bill Hutcheson
died Sunday
Word has been received
here of the death of Bill
Hutcheson. 63. in the Veterans
Hospital at Big Spring last
Sunday morning.
Bill Hutcheson was the twin
brother of Jim Hutcheson of
Amarillo, formerly of Cana-
dian.
Funeral services were held

Kittens to tangle tonight with
Clarendon at Wildcat Stadium
re- yard line, ai
Me
point for the touchdown, with
Wayne Wilson again driving
for the extra two points. The
Kittens led 32-0 at half-time.
The final Kitten TD was
added in the third quarter,
Gordon Rivers scoring on a
sweep at right end and Wayne
Wilson running the two-point-
er after touchdown to make
the score 40-0.
The lone Pirate touchdown
came late in the game against
the Kitten reserves.
The Kittens rolled steadily
on the ground, and didn't at-
tempt a single pass. Lefors
tried three aerials and com-
pleted none.
Coach Mose Damron's Jun-
ior High gridders will return
to. Wildcat Stadium in Cana-
dian tonight (Thursday) for
their second conference game
of the season in defense of
their Junior High District
Championship.
The Kittens will meet Clar-
endon's Junior Broncos to-
night at 7 o'clock.
Admission for the Junior
high games is 25 cents for
students, 50 cents for adults.
The Kittens opened their
confercnce schedule at Lefors
last Thursday night, defeat-
ing the Junior Pirates 40 to 8.
Coach Damron reports that
his charges will be heavily
out-weighed by the Clarendon
gridders tonight. The Kitten
squad this year is the lightest
in several years, but the in-
experienced youngsters have
a speedy backfield and, in
their first two starts, have
come along fast. The Kittens
lost their non-conference op-
ener to the Shamrock Junior
Irish here two weeks ago by
a 12-8 score.
Light showers
boost rain total
Light showers last Friday
and again Tuesday pushed
the year's total rainfall mark
to 29.95 inches in Canadian.
Temperatures remained in
the low and middle 80's over
the week-end and the first
part of this week, but zoomed
to 93 degrees Wednesday.
A cold wave swept over the
Panhandle area Wednesday
night, however, and mid-day
temperatures today (Thurs-
day) were in the middle 60's.
A light shower Friday after-
noon added .05 inch of mois-
ture to the year's total, and
another .02 inch was recorded
here Tuesday.
