| Abag the Street—Oa the Curb
I
THIS COLUMN usually harks
back, but this week it’s as up-to-date
as one of the newest little hats that
look for the world like they are about
to dip off the head and sail off
into space like a boomerang.
* * * *
* FACTS LIKES to go without sox
in the summer time, believes in a
boy and girl courting two years be-
fore marrying, thinks it proper that
a girl should never be kissed till
after the ceremony, and is radically
opposed to one or two other modern
fads or practices. But in athletics,
Facts is typically twentieth century
and loves football like an alley cat
loves clabber. He simply starts liv-
ing from one game to the other
in the early fall.
* * * *
FACTS WAS right up on the line
of fire Friday night when the Cubs
trotted on the field in their little
mixed colored togs. Some wore
white jerseys with tan pants, others
wore red pants with dingy jerseys,
a few wore tan pants and regula-
# tion white jerseys, but on the whole
the team was dressed about like a
baseball team from the forks of the
creek. Did you ever see a baseball
team come to town for play—some
with calico suits their mother made,
others wearing blue overalls and
jumpers, others with maybe a bought
jersey and home-spun pants? Well,
if Jrou haven't you were not brought
up in a small sdndy village for in
that kind of villages things like this
are seen.
* * * *
BUT BACK to the Cubs. They
rather modestly paced along the
aide-line, huddled in the east end of
the field, tossed a few short passes
warming up—and missed catching
^most of them—while their oppo-
nents were showering the west end
of the field with balls; kicking, pass-
ing, running, blocking and rollick-
tag like two-year olds. They were
all uniformed in one color from the
tiny tots in the third team to the
ace of the club—Kimbrell. The
contrast was noticeable. But Facts
may be pardoned when he says the
mixed uniforms and the modest
squad looked like a million dollars
when the last whistle sounded and
the 'Cubs trotted off the field—
sweaty, dirty and grimy winners to
the tune of 21 to 6.
* * * *
FACTS IS not only modern in his
choice of athletics, but he is thrilled
to his toes to see the new field in
the making. More land has been
added, a modern fence has been
constructed, the playing field has
been lighted as brightly as day and
bleachers are being constructed to
0eat two thousand people. When
this is all done, and when enough
time, has lapsed, the field will be
perfectly sodded, shrubbery will be
growing along the fencing for a
blind and Olney will have one of the
nicest athletic fields in all district
4, of class B. high schools. And by
next year, if Santa Claus is real
good, maybe eighteen new uniforms
may be bought and the Cubs dressed
for proper parade. In the mean-
time, the Cubs look good to this
writer in their little mixed suits with
Kelly, Carpenter, Williams, Wolver-
ton, Tinker and six other Cubs play-
ing like they are coached to play—
heads up football and t.o win.
* * * *
AND AS a concluding paragraph,
who will dispute that a game like
Friday night’s isn’t a fine tonic for
the business man or woman who has
jfctood the grind all week and needs
to be thrilled, given a topic to dis-
cuss and a relief from daily worries?
If play should have a place in one’s
life, football to anyone who enjoys
it like Factsj is worth all it cost and
much more. And a look at Friday
night’s crowd convinced Facts that
about 2999 other people are so con-
stituted. Bullpen, wolf over the

C. of C. Secretary Starts Organization
SPENDS THREE
DAYS HERE
MEETING PEOPLE
Will Move To Olney By
Fifteenth And Take
Over Active Manage-
ment of The C. Of C.
Homer L. Massey who was chosen
recently as secretary of the Olney
Chamber of Commerce spent from
Monday till Thursday in Olney. Mr.
Massey was busy while here meet-
ing the various business men, or as
many of them as he had time to
meet, and studying the Chamber of
Commerce situation.
In an interview with an Enterprise
reporter, Mr. Massey stated that he
was happy to be able to move to
Olney, and added that it seemed
like getting back home to come
westward. His wife was reared at
Hamlin, Texas and Mr. Massey
worked in that .city as Chamber of
Commerce secretary for a few
years.
In commenting on the outlook
here, Mr. Massey stated he felt
that Olney offered many possibilities
for Chamber of Commerce work and
for splendid business development.
Mr. Massey and wife will move to
Olney by the 15th of this month
and will be ready to start a construc-
tive Chamber of Commerce program.
It is his plan to have a general meet-
ing of Chamber of Commerce mem-
bers at an early date and to give
each member an opportunity to sug-
gest some worthy project or pro-
gram for consideration. The new
secretary further stated that he
hoped that evfcry Olney citizen
would feel and realize that their
support is desired, needed and es-
sential to the best progress of the
organization.
- A Proclamation -
In the Interest of safety, the protection of property
and tlhe safeguarding of the lives of. the citizens of Olney,
I herelby proclaim the week of October seventh as Fire
Prevention Week.
I urge each cutizen to co-operate with the officers and
members of the Fire Department to eliminate such fire
hazards as may exist on their property. I earnestly
request that home and property owners use all due dili-
gence in seeing that avoidable risks are removed.
The Olney Fire Department is a volunteer organiza-
tion, serving without pay, and I request that the citizens
of Olney show them, by their eO-operation, their appre-
ciation of their services.
EDWIN HILL, Mayor, City of Olney.
To The Taxpayers
OlneyIndependent
School District
In behalf of your School Board
and the schools of the district I
want to thank you for the way in
which you have responded in your
tax payments for the past few years.
Through your co-operation we have
been able to complete our regular
full length terms the last two years
without any indebtedness hanging
over as a burden on the new year.
And considering the financial diffi-
culties which you have faced we
think your response has been highly
commendable.
There are two .problems, however,
which we must call to your atten-
tion and ask your assistance in their
solution. The Auditor’s report, dated
April 30, 1934, showed unpaid taxes
for the district as follows:
Delinquent for 1930 and
prior year __________$ 8,061.52
Delinquent for 1931 ---- 14,941.27
Delinquent for 1932 ---- 6,804.76
Delinquent for 1933 ---- 7,231.42
CUBS TO PLAY
EASTLAND TEAM
HERE FRl. NIGHT CITY OF VERNON
Carpenter, Back, Will
Not Play in Eastland
Game—May Be Out
For Rest of Season.
The Olney Cubs wjll meet the
Class A Eastland team here Friday
night in the second game of the
season and for the second game on
the recently lighted stadium.
The jinx which seems to have de-
cided to camp with the Cubs has
made its presence know again this
week. Owen Carpenter, halfback,
will not be able to play for this
game, and will probably be out of
the game the rest of the season.
Carpenter is a letter man from last
year and has been one of the main
ball toters this year. He will be
hard to replace, and it is hoped he
will be able to play again soon.
Robert Earl Goodloe, end, will be
shifted to the back field. Jack Hunt,
who substituted for Wolverton last
week, made such a creditable show-
ing that he, with Wolverton, will
start at ends Friday night. With
these exceptions, the line-up will
probably be the same as last week.
Very little is known about the
Eastland team. But since it is a
Class A team, they will probably
have a heavier team and probably
more experienced team than Olney.
They have played two games this
season to one for the Cubs. East-
land defeated San Angelo, always a
strong contender for state honors,

BILL WOLVERTON
BUYS STATION IN
Will Take Charge Of
New Business Last
Of This Week Or As
Soon As Possible.
Bill Wolverton, manager of South-
land Station No. 1 in yOlney/ffor the
past three years, closed a deal this
week for the Lee ^ervip4 Station
in Vternan. He ani^hris wife will
mbve this week to that city to make
their future home.
It is understood Wolverton has
bought one of the leading service
stations in Vernon; located right on
the main square and doing a good
business. The purchase also in-
cludes the Goodyear tire franchise
of that city.
The business under new manage-
ment will go under the name of
Southland Service Station and
should enjoy a good business from
the first day. Bill has proven him-
self a capable young business man
by his management of Southland
No. 1.
Southland Station No. 1 in Olney
will be managed by Bernard Shep-
herd and Boye Anderson. Shepherd (
will have charge of the sales and
service department while Anderson
will handle the buying and office
work.
Mr. and Mrs. Wolverton have
many personal friends who regret
very much to lose them as citizens.
However, if their venture is a step
up in a business way the same
/friends will wish them well.

A winning football team is always
in line for commendation, but to
make the picture complete there are
auxiliary features that fans like to
see.
Next to a winning football team, a
large, active and supporting pep
squad stands second. In fact, the
picture is incomplete without the
uniformed, yelling, cheering girls
who mean more than might be
imagined to the boys on the field.
And not only that, but the fans on
the side-lines catch the spirit and
realize more from the games. Pep
is contagious; particularly when it
comes from the throats of a hun-
dred girla.
In the above connection, it is
mentioned that Olney’s pep squad
was noticeable for its limited num-
ber of girls last Friday night. Those
in the squad were loyal to the last
play, did fine cheering but the
number should be increased. In fact,
it should become a desire of every
high school girl to belong to the
squad. Let’s make the picture com-
plete with no fewer than seventy-
five girls in the pep squad.
Miss Uhl, one of the pep squad
sponsors, made a timely talk at
Wednesday’s Rotary Club on this
topic. She intimated that many
girls were unable to belong to the
squad because they felt unable - to
buy uniforms. This appears to be
a real handicap to some. Miss Uhl
suggested that pep squad uniforms
be made a permanent part of the

the newly
id ay night
Going into the
game decidedly the underdog, the
team unleashed an attack that
blasted off the dope-pot lid and put
the Graham Steers to flight. When
the final whistle sounded the score
stood 21 to 6. And that’s more Cub
football history!
While this game is not a con-
ference game, the rivalry i9 intense
and each team strives hard to be-
the victor.
There was not a doubt left in the
mind of anyone on the sidelines or
on the field as to whose game it
was. Olney early took the lead and
through consistent playing and long
gains set the psce for the visitors.
Graham’s only touchdown came as
a result of a fumble on the Cubs’
30-yard line. Kimbrell, the highly
touted triple-threat man from Gra-
ham, was stopped and his gains were
not many. He was taken from the
game early in the third quarter.
With a line that held in spite of
its light weight, the Olney line made
holes, blocked would-be tacklers" and
held back the Steers on the one
yard line at one time to aid the
back field in toting the ball across
the rival goal three times.
Despite his broken nose, Joe B.
Wolverton made his appearance on
the field, although without a uni- •
form. He was sent in to kick goals
after each touchdown. It was an
unusual sight and furnished a thrill
to the fans who were sorely disap-
pointed and made despondent when
Wolverton sustained a broken nose
in pracetice Wednesday afternoon.
