night, the Paducah Dragons
found revenge with the Lock-

was 25-0 in favor of Paducah.
Paducah citizens were very
happy because this is what they
have been waiting for all year,
to see what kind of start the
Dragons would begin the seas-
on.
The Dragons also found out
how it feels to be winners. This
is the first time after losing
all 10 games last season. Win-
ning this game will help them
gain confidence in themselves.
Although too much confidence
can hinder them.
Even though the Longhorns

Students From Co.
Schools Present
Radio Program
In observance of “Citizenship
Day,” today, Sept. 17, students
from the Cee Vee, Delwin and
Valley View schools presented
a 15-minute program on Radio
Station KOLJ. Quanah, this
morning from, 11:05 to 11:20.
Each school had five min-
utes to present their skit. The
Cee Vee students, Louise Evans,
7th grade, and Pat Hoffman,
8th grader, spoke on “Courtesy”
and “Care of Text Books As
Citizens.”
From Valley View Shirley
Smith of the 4th grade discussed
“Thoughtfulness of Others”; Lar-
ry Yarbrough, 6th grader,
“Sportsmanship”; Ann Tapper,
8th grade, “School Bus Behav-
ior.”
At press time it was not
known who the Delwin stu-
dents were who spoke, or what
their subjects were.
Dewin pupils will speak on
“What Is A Good Citizen?” and
“How Can I Be A Good School
Citizen?” These students are
Harve Brady Shavor of the 7th
grade and 8th grader Martha
Norrell.
Mrs. Jessie Thomas and Miss
Tye accompanied the
exander, a new song was learn
ed, “Friendly Little Sunbeams, -with Morris for a 17 yard pass
ienced and outweighed. Even
with these handicaps, they still
put up a good fight, and did
not stop fighting ’til the fi-
nal whistle blew.
The Dragons had an easy
time against Lockney compared
probably to what the heavy
and experienced Memphis team
will give them.
Scoring for Paducah was done
at long intervals—one touch-
down in each quarter.
The Dragons first struck pay
dirt midway of the first quar-
ter. Kelly Biddy recovered a
fumble on Lockney’s 49 yard
line. The Dragons tried several
times through the center of
the line. However, these at-
tempts only picked up a few
yards.
Finally David Morris took a
hand off from Hal Sandefur,
and with excellent blocking,
went around left end for a
touchdown. The kick was not
good, and the score stood 6-0.
Opportunity knocked at the
Dragons’ door again in the
second quarter. A Longhorn
punt was blocked and 210
pound Wayne Adams recovered
the ball on their nine yard line.
It then began to look like
the Dragons were going to miss
this perfect chance. They tried
desperately through the cen-
ter of the line, but made no
yardage. The picture even
grew darker when Sandefur was
caught for a ten yard loss on
a pass attempt.
Then with quick thinking
Sandefur connected in the air
and another touchdown. Jackie
Tye kicked the extra point.
Early in the third quarter
the Dragons made another tal-
ly. Lockney punted to their 41
yard line. Carl Pritchard, David
Morris and Kenneth Buckley
picked up yardage, while Sam-
mie James, Richard Crider and
Bill Eblen paved the way for
them.
Sandefur then went around
right end for 15 yards and an-
other touchdown. The extra
point went wide, high and no
good.
A Longhorn punt late in the
third quarter again set up the
Dragons for another and final
touchdown.
Early in the fourth quarter
the Dragons marched from the
42 yard line down to the four
yard line. Here they were de-
layed until Kenneth * Buckley
slashed over left tackle for. the
final 6 point counter.
Lockney had several good
players. Sparking the team was
Denny Quisenberry at Jackie
and Raymond Pinner sat full-
back.

DISTRICT
RESULTS
The competition in district
play is going to be pretty stiff
for Paducah this year. A look
at the district shows all the
teams won a game last Friday
except two. One of these two
was a tie.
Henrietta tied Newcastle 12-
12 in the closing periods of the
game. John Maddox made the
first touchdown for Henrietta
with a two yard plunge over
center. Late in the game quar-
terback Tommie Franklin, con-
nected with halfback Donald
Raby to tie the game up.
Iowa Park beat Munday 13-0.
Iowa Park scored in the first
period, with halfback Kelos
Whisenhunt running 18 yards.
In the fourth quarter they made
sure with quarterback Mickey
Sewell going over from the two
for the last touchdown.
Crowell scored the only touch-
downs in their game with Sey-
mour. James Denton made them
on a five yard run. Seymour
made several attempts and se-
rious ones at that but were
thrown back by the mighty
Crowell line. The game ended
Crowell 7, Seymour 0.
Archer City has a mighty pow-
erful line and backfield. They
skunked Nocona by a score of
27-0.
Chillicothe was beaten by Tip-
ton, Okla. Tipton won the state
championship last year in Ok-
lahoma. The score was Tipton
7—Chillicothe 6. Chillicothe must
have fought all the way. They
were the only team in the dis-
trict that did not win a game.
PAYNES RETURN HOME
Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Payne
and her mother, Mrs. Ina Mann
of Dallas, have returned from a
two-week vacation trip to Den-
ver where they visited Mrs.
Payne’s brother and family, Mr.
and Mrs. T. J. Mann. The Manns
and visitors then’ visited the
Yellowstone National Park and
the Teton National Park.

Dragons Take On Memphis
Cyclones Here Friday Night
Friday night, Sept. 18, Padu-
cah plays host to the Memphis
Cyclones. The game time is
set for 8:15 o’clock.
Memphis played Tulia and
won that game by a score of
15 to 8. This means "that the
Dragons and Cyclones are in
the same class because each
has won a game. The Cyclones
have back a lot of their last
year lettermen. The line is
strong and experienced.
Those who will play in the
line for Memphis are Jack Mont-
gomery and Carroll Gardenhire,
ends; Kenneth Cheek and Max
McCoy, tackles; Leon Rogers,
guard; Toy Don Coleman, cen-
ter. All the boys are heavy
and have had plenty of experi-
ence. The Dragons will not
have such an easy line to deal
with this week as was the
weak Lockney line.
Duke Frisbie, a three year let-
terman, is back for his last
year. He will play quarterback
and call signals. Those helping
him in the backfield will be
Clyde Tamplen and Jimmy Dav-
is, halfbacks. Jimmy Jenkins, a
letterman last year, will prob-
ably fill the fullback position.
Memphis is the strong team
in class 1A-1. This is their first
year to compete in this new
district. They were dropped to
this class last spring for lack
of enrollment in school.
A LOOK AT THE DRAGONS
“When you win a game you
have to work a lot harder. You
see your mistakes and you can-
not afford ; to make the same
mistakes over again, this means
you really have to get down
to business and correct them,”
states Troutman.
The Dragons have really been
at work this week because they
want to win that game with
Memphis. The boys want to
give back a little of what they
received from Memphis last
year.
The Dragons have been very
fortunate this . week because
they have not received any in-
juries and will have all their
needed power.
There have been some addi-
tions to the squad in the last
few days. The boys reporting
for workout are Troy Riddell,
Carroll Smith and Sammy
Wright. These boys are inex-
perienced, but will be able to
help the Dragons later on in
the season.
Buddy Liedtke, Garland Mc-
Clendon, Travis Truelock have
been showing up well lately
and will probably see a lot of
action Friday night.
The Dragons will have to
