The Garland High School Owls
can have no let-up this week if
they expect to keep their unde-
feated record. The Owls will play
the Kaufman Lions on the local
field Friday night in a game that
promises to be the toughest to
date.
The Kaufman team has a record
of six wins and one defeat, their
loss coming at the hands of the
AA teams early in the season. The
Lions are tied for the lead in
their own district.
The game here has created quite a
bit of interest, due to the fact
that Emmett Jordan, head coach
of the Lions, was connected with
the Garland coching staff several
years ago.
The Garland eleven came out of
the Irving game in good condition,
but Valle received an ankle in-
jury in practice Monday and may
not be ready for full time duty.

Of the six typewriters and add-
ing machine stolen from Garland
High 'School’s Commercial Arts
Department several weeks ago, all
but a single typewriter have been
recovered. The adding machine was
recovered in Fort Worth.
Five of the Royal typewriters
were recovered at Austin, through
the co-operation of the Royal
Typewriter Co. of Dallas, and the
sheriff departments of Dallas and
Travis Counties. Failure of the
authorities to recover the sixth
typewriter may be attributed to
the fact that the serial number
showed it was manufactured prior
to 1935. The man who sold the.
typewriters gave his name as Os-
wald of Camden, N. J.
Mr. Ruhl of the Dallas branch of
Royal Typewriter Co., brought the
typewriters to the school Monday
morning. Mr. Bussey said that the
recovered typewriters would en-
able many students to resume the
course which lack of machines had
forced them to drop.

The Garland Owls, playing their
best game of the season, defeated
the favored Irving Tigers by a
score of 19-6 Friday night on the
Tiger field. The locals outplayed
, the Irving eleven all the way and
made 13 first downs to six for the
opposition.
The first Owl score came in the
second period. After a series of
passes and line plays had carried
to the Irving thirty yard line, Valle
threw a pass to Pierce for a
touchdown. Later in the period a
pass interference penalty gave the
Owls a first down on the one yard
line and Nichols carried over.
A 35 yard pass accounted for
the Irving score in the fourth
quarter but the Owls came back
to score again a few moments
later with Nichols carrying over.
The Owls had two touchdowns
called back in the third period and
on numerous occasions had ball
carriers in the open for what look-
ed to be sure fire scores only to
be brought down short of the goal
line.
The victory was the seventh (
straight for the locals and their
second in district competition. Gar- :
land and Carrollton are now tied
for the lead in 14-A and their ;
game on November 20 will prob- 1
ably be the deciding affair.
