STEERS INVADE
EAST HALF FOR
Disnner BATHE
The Graham Steers are defending
the west half title at Nocona in
their match against the west half
champions for the district title and
the right to meet Crowell December
7th for the bi-district crown.
Tbs special train bearing more
than two hundred loyal Steer sup-
porters left Graham this morning
at 8 o’clock.
Although the Steers are a slight
favorite in the district game, the
Nocona team has a bettor offense
than most of the Graham oppon-
ents this yasr and will be better
able to penetrate the Steer’s _ de-
fensive wall than the Bobcats, who
failed to score against Graham in
the west half game at Newcastle
a week ago.
Loss of the game with Nocona
will pot Graham out of Interacho-
iastic League competition this year
and close the 1984 football season.
