The record made by the Bowie

past three years, is an impressive
one when the statistics are viewed
impartially.

Reviewing the record it is found

lost 7 and tied 2 which yields a
nice percentage rating. In points
scored during the 3-year period
the Jackrabbits register 648 to op-
ponents 203. This means an aver-
age of 21.5 points for the Bowie
boys as against 6.7 for their op-
ponents. And as a clincher to the Brahms,
argument that they are the best T ‘
in these parts, they have held
their opponents scoreless in 15 of
the 30 games played.

Hopkins intercepted Ayres pass Prelui
several plays later and ran it back Sections
from the Bowie 32 for the second
Eagle score. Kerr gained fifteen
to carry to the Bowie 11 to pro-
vide the setup for the third Chil-
licothe counter. Hopkins carried
over on a wide end sweep. .
Tommy’Ayfes played an Inspir-
ed game and proved to be a pow-
er on the defensive in spite of the
fact that his weight was a great
deal less than that of either his
teammates • or his opponents.
Price, Rhyne. Ditto,,, Hill, Gray
Wright and Jackson, all gave the
Eagles something to remember.
Sevefal hundred- fans from
Bowie made the trip on a special
train chartered for the occasion.
The extreme cold cut the attend-
ance to about 2,000. But those
who were, there saw two of the [ j
best Class A teams ever to battle
for the title in Region III put on
a fine exhibition of clean football.
Bands from Quanah, Vernon,
Chillicothe and Bowie took part
in the parade. Mayor McNatt
responded for Bowie to the ad-
dress of welcome extended by
Vernon’s mayor. The addresses
and the game were broadcast
over the Vernon station.

On the basis of incomplete re-
turns in the three counties in-
volved, County Agent Arvle S.
Elliott said Thursday afternoon
that the vote in Saturday’s elee-
tiion indicated approval of the
creation of the Upper Red-Elm
Soil Conservation District. He
had called the State Board at
Temple which reported the ap-
parent favorable vote by a wide
margin. Montague County, 80
per cent of which was included
in the proposed district, gave the
measure a substantial majority
although all the boxes had not
been heard from. The same waa
true of Grayson County and only
Cooke County was unreported to
a large extent. Enough of the
returns were in from all i iiiihUm
involved, however, to indicate the
trend.
“There isn’t much dougt about
it,” Mr. Elliott said.
The Upper Red-Elm District in-
cludes part of Montague, Cooke
and Grayson counties and will
round out this enjire section of
North Texas is the election went
as indicated. Part of Montague
County is already included in an-
other district formed some time
sge;
The bad weather Saturday pre-
vented a large number from vot-
ing and a lighter vote was cast
for the soil measure than in the
Triple A election since only land
owners were permitted to vote in
the former.
