Schulenburg Defeated
By Eagle Lake
Our team after a string of
straight victories on the gridiron
"met its Waterloo last, Friday af-
ternoon in Eagle Lake. The
final score being 21 to 3.
This does not tell the story of
the actual fight which took place
upon the field. Ask anyone of
the several' hundred Schulen-
burg folks who witnessed the
game and they will tell you it
was a mighty good game and the
teams well matched. Eagle Lake
however had a better trained
team than we have, they have
had the experience of many
years under excellent coaches,
football to them each season has
been a thing as regular as break-
fast has been to our boys.
Naturally they know all there
is to know from years of experi-
ence tpgather with first class
material to select their team
from. Their team out weighed
our team considerably. Yet our
boys fought them until after
every second or third play Eagle
Lake would call for time out to
Doctor some of their men after
our boys had knocked them out.
Schulenburg only called time
two times during the game none
of our men were injured.
The Schulenburg boys are
craving for another try at this
Eagle Lake team they believe if
they ckn get this team to come
here they can beat them.
Schulenburg was going good
in the third quarter, they make
three consecutive passes which
netted them about 75 yards, but
on the last long pass which put
Schulenburg to within 7 yards
of the goal the refree called them
back 35 yards and penalized
them 5 yards extra for what he
stated was off side on the man
who caught the pass. This was
the cause of much dissatisfac5
tion as the boy claimed he wait-
ed until the ball was in motion
before moving. * Another long
end run made by our team re-
sulted in the same thing off side
being again claimed.
Eagle Lake has a fine team,
they play together wonderfully
they have the finest team that
we have seen in action this year
far surpassing anything we have
played.
Schulenburg lost a good man
when Opela was ruled out of the
game .for fighting. Opela was
playing the best game he had
ever played, he was getting
through the line and stopping
the runners. He was battling
with all his might, naturally
when a man held him he let his
fist fly into the other boys eye.
We are proud of the large
number of our citizens who at-
tended the game. We are proud
of our battiing short horns who
always give a good account
of themselves. Although we
lost we put up a fight that will
long be remembered. We hope
to have better luck next time.
Assistant district highway
engineer Ed. Templin advises us
that the state had authorized
; them to again start work on the
, highway between Gonzales and
the Gaudalupe County line.
Graveling this piece about half
way. A contract is to be let to
tarviate the other half. This
piece of road surely needs atten-
tion worse than anySpiece in Te*-
as. Next week the trucks will
again start to hauling gravel on
this road.

Pecans Plentiful
The pecans in this section are
very good this year and the yield
is the heaviest we have bad in
many, many years. It is esti-
mated that around 100,000
pounds have falready been sold
here locally. They have brought
a price of 10c cash and 11c in
trade. Except some especially
fine big grafted pecans, which
have brought 30 and 35c a pound
these were very scarce however.
Most of them are just orchard
run or wild pecans.
This has helped this section
out wonderfully, many of our
farmers have gathered enough
pecans to pay their\taxes and
have money left. The pecan
crop should bring around $25,
000 to the Schulenburg trade
territory this year' this sum is
not to be sneezed at.
The Schulenburg pecans have
a good flavor and are excellent
nuts. People in some "towns
where pecans are not grown
would do well to get in touch
with dealers here and buy a
supply.
Dog Bites Baby Boy
Louis Fajkus' little son aged
one year and seven months was
very badly and painfully bitten
by a dog last Friday.
The child was playing at its
grandfathers home when a big
Sheperd dog that was not ac-
customed to playing with child-
ren attacked the baby, biting the
child and tearing its cheek open,
its forehead and temple. The
baby was rushed to the Doctor
where it was given medical at-
tention. 11 stitches oeing requir*
ed to close the wounds.
The dog was killed and its
head sent to Austins happily it
was not mad. The little fellow
is getting along fine.
Veselka-Bohac
Miss Annie Bobac and Her-
man Veselka were happily
united in the holy bonds of wed-
lock at the Ammannsville church
Monday morning. Rev. Father
Raska officiating.
The bride is a very pretty
young lady with a sweet disposi-
tion,the groomlis onelof this sec-
tion's good, honest, hard work-
ing young farmers, this popular
young couple are ideally fitted
for each other and should make
a happy married couple.
After the wedding a big wed-
ding feast was held at the home
of the bride's parents, where
feasting and happiness reigm d
supreme.
The Sticker joins their many
friends in extending congratula.
tions and wishing them health,
happiness and prosperity.

she managed to do this the car
