THIMBLETTE CLUB CANCELS
THANKSGIVING PARTY
The Groom Tigers playing be-
fore a homecoming audience Fri-
day night kept everyone interested
as they worked out a 43 to 24 vic-
tory over a fighting team of Tor-
nadoes from Texline.
The visitors scored first early in
the first quarter after recovering
a midfield Tiger fumble and then
completing a long Cowboy pass.
The Tigers recovered their poise
and went in for three touchdowns
to lead at halftime by a score of
22-8. The Tornadoes again surpris-
ed the Tigers in the second half
by pushing over two touchdowns
and went iinto the lead by a score
of 24-22. The Tigers went to work
and run up a 43 point total to win
over Texline’s 24 points.
The game was played on a very
wet field following heavy rains
during the afternoon. The contest
was interesting all the way and
Texline and Groom fans both had
their moments of elation and pe-
riods of doubt.
The Tigers will have an open
date this week to get rested up for
their next conference game which
will be ait Lefors, Nov. 5. Game
time is now 7:30 p.m. on remaining
.football games on the schedule.
The win over Texline was the
first conference game of the sea-
son for Groom which has won two
and lost three in non-conference
play this season.
