The Van High Vandals, champions
of District 18-A, completely outclass-

noon at Van when they powered their
way into the regional finals with a
very convincing 33-0 victory over their
District 17-A rivals in a game play-
ed in the rain and mud.
The Tigers never were in the ball
game, as the Vandals received the
opening kickoff and moved seventy-
eight yards down the field for a
touchdown. 'Buddy Morgan made
tile last nine yards, for the tally. Con-
version made the score seven to zero.
Scant minutes later the Vandals
had scored again, this time on a pass
from Dickard t-> Murphey. The play

Later in the same period the big Be i
team scored again via the airlaiies.
u lien Morgan caught Dickard's pas*
for the longest single gain of the
game. The play was good f r a total
of 54 yards.
Dickard scored in the second period
when he went through a huge h-ile ill
the middle of the Commerce line for
nine yards. Again the extra point
was made.
The final Van score was chalked up
in the third period, Morgan going
over from the 3-yard line. This time

We know as we face the crisis in
our land that we have got to sacrifice
much, but as the gas rationing has
come upon us, let us consider it the
least, and press on as true and loyal
Americans looking for the liberty and
peace that is to come through the
Democracy that blesses our country.
So let us help in every way we can
to bring into the hearts and homes
of our American people, peace, joy and
happiness. Wishing you, one and all,
the happiest Christmas and New Year
you have ever had and may God’s
great, great love be with you one and
