Football Returns to Dominate Scene
The unidentified tying objects are gone,
if not forgotten; and • once again the greatest
seasonal enthmiasjft-^ootball—has return-
ed to dominate the«oene. •<.
Almost any man on the street can give
you his recipe for how to win Friday night’s
district chaihPi6dsRIp"1T6otball game. He’ll
sound even H|4fej^jtAotftative next Satur-
day morning, or after a few additional days
to pondpr and outguess the quarterbacks.

avenging last year’s defeat at the hands of
Littlefield, just about any character you meet
will be funning a temperature and wearing
a grin as broad as the sunshine.
Gorte and forgotten win be all past de-
feats. C|ily the future will hold any signifi-
cance. For the team will then be in the post
season playoffs for the first time in several
years, gnd there’s nothing that will quite
compare with being in the playoffs.
