Add Counters
Three touchdown passes by Dennis Hill com-
bined with a slashing ground attack gave the
Canadian Wildcats a 40 to 6 victory over the
Gruver Gray hounds at Wildcat Stadium here
last Friday night.
Hill fired his aerials to Dell
Krehbiel, Roy Sessions and
Ronnie Webb for three of the
Wildcat touchdowns, and
Krehbiel, Garner Schoenhals,
and Johnny Grist "each crack-
ed through the Grayhound
line for the other three.
Almost as vital as the Wild-
cat aerial attack in the vic-
tory, however, was the effec-
tive Wildcat defense against
Gruver's aerial thrusts. Three
times in* the first half the
Grayhounds took to the air,
and three times their passes
were intercepted by alert
Wildcat defenders . . . first by
Dell Krehbiel, then by Johnny
Grist, and finally by Dennis
Hill whose leaping intercep-
tion of Quarterback Dale Ir-
win's jump pass on the 19
yard line broke up a Gray-
hound scoring threat early in
the second period.
DeU Krehbiel broke up the
first Grayhound aerial attack
early in the first period when
he pulled a 20-yard toss out
of the air on the Wildcat 20
yard line.
Johnny Grist repeated the
trick two minutes later when
he snatched a 30-yard pass
from Irwin out of the hands
of an intended receiver on the
Wildcat 35, setting the stage
for the first Canadian touch-
down.

Gruver line, with Quarterback
Kenny Abraham contributing
13 yards on a keeper for a

and the TD. Garner Schoen-
hals plunged over left guard
for the extra point to put the
Wildcats out in front 7-0 at
the end of the first period.
Hill's interception of the
third Grayhound pass attempt
early in the second quarter
halted a Gruver threat at the
Wildcat 19, and the Wildcats
struck again, midway in the
period, with a 71-yard pass
and run engineered by Dennis
Hill and Dell Krehbiel. Kreh-
biel took Hill's 26-yard heave
on the 45 and outdistanced
all pursuers from that point.
Johnny Grist crashed over
tackle for the extra point.
Grist had a 33-yard punt
return for a touchdown called
back by a clipping penalty

Wildcat B Team
Loses 6-0 to
Stinnett B
The Canadian Wildcat "B"
team dropped a close 6-0 de-
cision to the Stinnett Rattler
"B" squad last Thursday night
at Stinnett.
An end run by Tony Ather-
ton of the Rattlers accounted
for the only touchdown of the
ball game.
The Wildcats put up a tight
and effective defensive game,
but couldn't get their offen-
sive punch to working.
Wildcat "B" stringers will
play the Gruver Grayhound
"B" team at Gruver tonight
(Thursday) at 7:30 o'clock;
have scheduled a game with
the Borger Bulldog "C" team
here on October 25, and will

Conference Openers Still Week
Away; Warm-ups Continue Friday
With conference openers on- ——————————
ly a week away, teams of Dis-
trict 1-A and 2-A will con-
tinue their intersectional grid
warfare this week - end on
scattered gridirons.
Two District 2-A teams will
take on Class AA competi-
tion, the Canadian Wildcats
meeting the Shamrock Irish
at Shamrock and the McLean
Tigers meeting the Welling-
ton Skyrockets at Wellington.
The 'Rockets, having clob-
bered two District 2 teams al-
ready . . . battering Lefors 37
to 6 and Clarendon 25 to 13 on
successive week ends . . . will
be heavy favorites to add the
Tigers to their list of victims
this week-end; but the Sham-
rock Irish, already beaten this
season by McLean and Clar-
endon, will be underdogs to
the Wildcats.
The Memphis Cyclones will
take a breather Friday night
after tying Class AA Quanah
last week-end by entertaining
the Price College Cardinals
from Amarillo . . . and al-
though the Cardinals are an
unpredictable lot, the Cyclone
will be favored to take this

Canadian's 40-6 victory over
the Gruver Grayhounds was
the only bright spot in the
week-end grid picture for Dis-
trict 2-A teams . . . the other
four conference members be-
ing either defeated or tied.
And the victory put the
Wildcats at the top of the
standings along with the
Memphis Cyclones, the Wild-
cats with a 2-won, 2-lost rec-
ord and the Cyclones with a
2-2-1 after their scoreless tie
Friday night with the Quanah
Indians.
The Memphis deadlock with
Class AA Quanah may cause
other 2-A teams to look from
Clarendon to its eastward
neighbor for the big threat in
the conference race.
While the Cyclones were
tying the Indians at Quanah,
the Clarendon Bronchos were
absorbing a 25-13 licking from
Class AA Wellington at Well-
ington.
At Panhandle Friday night,
the strong Panhandle Panth-
ers of District 1-A racked the
Lefors Pirates 33 to 0. The
only Lefors touchdown, a 30-
yard dash by Howard Brad-
field, was nullified by a pen-

alty. Panhandle's Jones Hed-
rick contributed three Panther
touchdowns with a 71-yard
punt return and two 31-yard
drives.
And at White Deer, the Mc-
Lean Tigers of District 2-A
went down 25-18 before the
White Deer Bucks in a wide-
open offensive balh game
which saw the Buc¿s come
from behind in the fourth
quarter to overcome a big
deficit.
The Tigers owned an 18-6
lead midway in the third per-
iod, but failed to halt Don
Essary's passes in the final
minutes of the game.
Paul Garvin set up the first
Tiger touchdown with an 80-
yard run on the opening kick-
off, and added another with a
70-yard scamper in the third
quarter. Charlie Crockett scor-
ed the other Tiger TD in the
third period ... but the Bucks,
after being held to 6 points in
the first half, rode on Es-
sary's accurate throwing arm
in the final quarter and the
Tigers never found the com-
bination to stop him.
The Stinnett Rattlers, rated
as the team to beat in Top o'
Texas Class A football, were
idle last week-end; and the
Sunray Bobcats lost a 12-7
decision to the Perryton Ran-
ger "B" team.

From where I sit... ¿y Joe Marsh
Happy Swap
More and more farmers—who
badly need hired help sometimes,
but can't afford a full-time hand
— are making deals with young
town workers and the employers
they work for.
For instance, young Hap
Hooper now lives rent-free on
Easy Roberts' farm. In return he
works about 100 days a year for
Easy-for a farmhand's pay.
The rest of the year Hap works
for his "regular" boss . . . Buzz
Ellis, the electrician. Buzz just
speeds up his business when
Hap's on hand - slows it down
when he isn't —and, like Easy,
pockets healthy savings in wages.
From where I sit, it's great how
people with different backgrounds
— and different viewpoints —can
co-operate. How about more of us
trying that? I live in a town —
maybe you're a farmer. Tm par-
tial to a good glass of beer —you
may prefer coffee or milk. Bat
we can make things pleasanter by
ignoring differences and giving
each other a "hand."

The Lefors Pirates will tan-

Stinnett Rattlers of District
1-A at Lefors, and it's due to

Buccaneers who were trampl-

week-end.
The White Deer Bucks of
District 1-A will move out of
the district to take on the
highly-respected Friona Chiefs

THERE'S NO BETTER SEASON THAN
Ike Can't Make It Rain,
But He's Still Best Man
The other day I asked a farmer
if it was dry out his way. He said
it sure was. "Looks like wc just
can't get any rain," he said.
"Why, when Noah had his 40-day
flood, we didn't get over half an
inch."
There's no mistake about it,
Texas is having itself a real
drouth. Some of the farmers and
ranchers in our county are in such
bad shape that they may vote for
Stevenson.
Old Man Jones, from across the
river, said he wasn't going to go
to any such extreme. He said ne
needed rain as bad as anybody
else. He claimed water was so
scarce in his community that the
preacher was baptizing new mem-
bers with a wet handkerchief. But
he was holding out awhile longer,
anyway.
"I may be stubborn," said Old
Man Jones, "but I just ain't been
convinced that President Eisen-
hower is keeping it from rain-
ing."
He said he knew that Stevenson
and Kefauvcr acted like they
thought so, and they had a right
to their opinion. Lyndon Johnson,
he figured, knew better, but he
was sticking with Adlai and Estes
for the sake of unity. He said
he didn't figure Mr. Sam Ray-
burn had known whether it was
raining or not for the last 25
years.
"I hate not to go along with
such a widely known crowd of
weather observers," Old Man
Jone said. "If there' anybody
who keeps up with which way the
wind is blowing, generally speak-
ing, it's Stevenson, Kefauver and
Johnson."
Then he went on to say that he
realized the national farm pro-
gram hadn't pleased everybody—
including him. If he was in the
White House, he would do things
different, at least in our county.
He allowed that the $61,000,000
spent by the Eisenhower adminis-
tration for drought relief in Texas
could have been doubled and still
not made all the farmers happy
and prosperous.
"But," said Old Man Jones, "I
keep remembering that the main
reason for our troubles, besides
the drouth, is the fact that we are
not at war. Now, if Adlai and
Estes really want to jump on
President Eisenhower, there is a
real issue. They've sure got the
goods on Ike in that respect. If
he hadn't stopped that Korean
War, farm prices would be higher,
no doubt. I wonder why they
never mention that."
Old Man Jones was kidding a
little, of course, in his usual way,
but I think he had something
there. We have got to adjust to
Seace-time, which is taking awhile
ut President Eisenhower it
working at it. And meanwhile our
boys aren't fighting and dying on
foreign soil. It's worth thinking
about
