Chances To Score
In Game
CHIEFS SCORE FIRST
Floydada Makes Long Drive
In Third Quarter To
Win Game
Failing to score at two different
tunes during the game when it seem-
ed impossible for them to fail, the
Crosbyton Chiefs dropped their fourth
straight game of the season to the
Floydada Whirlwinds last Friday af-
ternoon on the Floydada gridiron,
holding the small end of a 12 to 6
t-core.
A cold north wind and a drop of
ter. degrees in temperature met the
Chiefs as tNpv went onto the field
Gaining th#n)all early in the game
from a Floydada fumble on their own
yard line, the warriors under
Coach Vaughn begun a dvive down
the field, that carried the ball to the
L,-yard line of the Whirlwinds.
Smith plunged through the line,
ami to watchers on the sideline, he
carried the ball over by ii,ches, but
was dragged back by a Whirlwind
linesman. The ball went over, and
rioydada kicked out of danger.
Undaunted, the Chiefs again tool:
t+ e ball with another march down the
v.I the game. The try for point was
not successful.
In the last of the second, quarter,
and only a few minutes after Cros-
byton had counted, Floydada staged
a comeback, and carried the ball down
tnrough the air for a toucl.uown. The!
try for point was also unsuccessful. |
Crosbyton threatened ag&.n in the
third quarter. Taking th- ball on'
their own 3# yard line, a passing at-j
tack carried the ball down the field
to the 10 yard line, but a pass incom-|
juete over the goal line brought the
ball back to 20 yard line with the bal1;
in Floydada's possession. '
Floydada punted after iwo downs
and Meacham made a beautiful re- '
turn to place the ball on his own 4.')
yard line. Another drive carried the!
ball to Floydada's 2 yard line with'
three downs to make it in. A wrong
play kept the Chiefs from scoring
thi.- time. !
On an end run Howard was thrown i
for a five yard loss, another play
failed to gain, and a pas.> over the,
goal line brought the ball bark to the |
20 yard line. Floydada took th^ ■
ball and with Murry at hail' and Green
at fullback carrying the ball marched
down the field for the final counter of
i he game. The score stood 12 to fi.
Flovdada threatened again in the
last fevy minutes of play and Crosby-
ton lost a chance to tie the score on
the same drive. Carrying tut ball on
end around plays, the Whirlwinds
placed the ball in scoring distance.,

cc. the pass, chased back ..round the j
goal line with the ball under his arm!
and a clear field before him and six'
men for interference. j
The whistle blew; for the ending of
the game, and the failure to lemember
that the play could be finished prob- j
ably cost the Chiefs a counter. Nix-
on threw the ball to-one side, and a
Whirlwind gridder grabbed it before,
it hit the ground, but was tackled by i

CLASS B GRID RACE
NARROWS!*) FOUR
a ■ .
Post and Slaton Loom As
Serious Contenders
For Crown
With only a little more than a week
left until the annual rivalry games of
Armistic Day and only a month be-
fore the Turkey Day bailies, Class
B competition in District 2 has nar- j
rowed down to a race between four I
squads, with two standing out as the!
strongest contenders for the cham-1
pionship. j
These two teams are Pobt and Sla-1
Ion, with unanimous victories in all
their battles. The other two teams,
still standing with a thousand per-1
i«nt are Ralls and Lamesa, and -each I
of these face the most serious battles 1
of the year before they can climb to j
the top of the ladder. j
All hopes of a championship in 1
Crosbyton has now vanished, of]
course, and all eyes are turned to the j
age old rivalry game to be played on j
Monday, November 11, witl. the Kails |
Jackrabbits. Although all compara-
tive scores wjth the exception of one!
point to the fact that Ralls is above
the home team in standing, others
facts point out that the teams will be j
wither evenly matched, and that the.
locals will hold their own. ]
Post still holds her own in the lime-
light of the league by the overwhelm- j
ing defeat she .gave the gridders of:
Paducah, when she defeated that team '
bv the score of X2 to 0. Post still
holds the honor of being the only'
team in the district this year that has'
not had her goal line crossed, and
Crosbyton holds the honoi of being
Ihe only one to cross her twenty yard
line. i
Slaton also continues to be a serious j
threat in the grid race, ana all con- |
tuitions point to the fact that the
championship will lie between these
iwo teams to be decided in the annual
grid clash between them. Lajiiesai
holds her own ovfr in the western
half of the district but as yet has
played no game which shows that she
\yill be an active contendei for the
crown.
With the defeat of Spur by Slaton !
:-ap becomes the "if'" team i.i the con-
ference. Spur has vet to play Post, and
-nee. Spur has yet to pla\ Post, and
although few believe them capable u£.
downing the fast Antelopes they will
be in much better condition than the
recent Slaton crash. i
The two Puckett boys saw littjje
action in the Slaton game, and two
stalwart supporters on the line were
also absent. These men will see ac-
tion against Post, and add to this fact '
that the game will be played on the'
Spur gridiron, and there is a "possi-
bility of a real battle between the two.
\ If t Spur Happens to defeat Post?, and
if Post defeats Slaton, ana if Kalis
defeats Floydada, then both Kails and
Lamesa will have a showing. All
these "if" clauses have their origin
with Spur when that team meets the
I'4>st Antelopes,
Post Tramples Paducah
Post put one more lauiel in her
cap Friday by completely ousting and
running over the Paducah eleven and.
ending only when the final whistle
saw the last touchdown being pushed
ever. The Antelopes scored 2 points

holding to her "goose egg.''

TWO RALLS BOYS
SUFFER INJURIES
"My wife had fallen off in weight
and at the time she started on Orga-
tone was so weak she coq'dn't walk
three blocks without being exhausted,"
said J. E. Simpson, a well known
farmer residing on rural icute No. 2,
Lubbock, Texas, recently. .
"I fully agree with my wife now,"
Mr. Simpson continued, "that there's
nothing as good as Orgatone for peo-
ple in th- condition she w*1"- She has
gained in weight on her iirst bottle
and never complains of feeling tired
Her trouble started with her stomach
about seven years ago an.i she was
never like her self after that time and
kept going down hill. Her nerves
became so shattered that she could-
n't sleep sound and got up in the
morning feeling worse than when she
lay down at .night and complained of
being tired out all the time.
"She was under treatment several
times and took all kinds of medicines
but nothing helped. her a particle

her stomach trouble. Sne hag a fine
appetite and is never bothered with
gas or any other signs of indigestion.
Her nerves Hive gotten back to

is in better health generally than she
has been in seven or eight y ears. She
is so elated over what Orgatone ha*
done for her that she is telling aQ" the
neighbors, 'Orgatone certainly bring*
relief and I am glad to endorse it. •
Genuine Orgatone is manufactured
by one of the world's largest .labors

Hurt In Football Game With;
. The Leveliand ;
Squad !
E. Harris, familiarly knoAii to Kails
folks as "Stubby," was severely rn-
juied in the football game with Level-
land last Friday afternoon when his
collar bone was broken.
"Stub" was one of the regulars on
the Jackrabbits' line and i:, one of the
U st guards in the high scnool circles
c" this country. He's a Tint lad and
a good sport—never quarrels or
giipes any—just goes aheau and plays
his best. This is his last yeai in high
school and it is indeed regrettable
that he should be put out of tne game
perhaps for the rest of the season.
Monday afternoon while liie Rabbits
wi re scrimmaging in practice Rufus
Jordan, one of the youngei members
of the Jackrabbit squad, was severely
injured when a bone in his right leg,
just above the ankle was- broken. He
was taken to a Lubbock sanitarium
where the bone was "set" and placed
in a plaster cast. Rufus is a fine
young fellow, a clean sport and like-
able. It is regrettable that lie should
ltceive .such a severe injury just as
lit was "breaking into football."—

The COTTON Grower
TEXAS FARM Bl'REAl COTTON ASSOCIATION
incorporated
CO-OPERATIVE COTTON MARKETING
DALLAS, TEXAS
October 28, t'.)2!).
To the Board of Directors
and Fieldman,
Texas Farm Bureau Cotton Assn. ,
Dear Sirs: —
\ ou have probably read newspaper accounts of the offer o""
the Federal Farm Board to make ioau.s to cotton cooperative as-
sociations to the t xtent of an average of 1<>c a pound on Middling
7f." staple cotton.
In Texas they propose to lend 111.25c at Houston on the above
described cotton. They will lend to us the differential., on or of/'
according to the grade and staple on all cotton we have in the
. seasonal pool. The\ will not lend to us for advances to members
who ship to the optional pool, the reason for this being that the
Farm Board nor the Association would have any control over the
sale or fixation of the cotton and consequently, such a K<an would
be a hazard as compared to one on seasonal pool cotton where the
Association can control sales and fixations in cooperation with
the Farm Board.
1 should like to give you a few illustrations as u> how ad*-
vances would be to the members on.this hasis:*-if a member has
shipped us a hale ol cotton that is Middling V, they will lend us
lt'>.25c, which.would be SKI. 2 5 per bale and we in turn would ad-
vance this amount to the member less freight and estimated over
head expense. If a member shipped us a Middling bale ot cotton
of 1" staple, they would lend us li;.2.~« plus 1 j the value in the
staple. If a member shipped us a bale of good Middling I" cot-
ton, they would: lend us Ki.2oc- p!u- !>0 points for grau. plus 'a
the premium for the staple. If a member shipped us a 7h" Low
Middling bale. the> would lend us lfT2-">c less the differential be-
tween Middling and Low Middling, less freight and expanses.
We will he in a position in approximately three weeks to
complete -a loan with the Farm Board oiyeotton alreauy received
and make a distribution to members w^o have shipped to the
season pool on 1 >.2.">c Middling basi- acceding to ^rade ami
staple. Members who ship now to the seasonal pool will receive
the regular advance at this time, which is 12c a poani, and a-
soon as the cotton is graded alio classed, the additional advance
will be available.
Naturally, we have no way of knowing tile class and the staple
of the cotton ni"rely upon receipt of the 1! L in this off'ce; but
as fast as possible, we will make the additional disti ibution to
members shipping to the seasonal pool
This loan that the Farm Board is making to us for the
benefit of the members only and tin advances wjiich we make will
be strictly in line with tlie loans which wi can secure from the
Farm Board. '
It should be borne in mind that the Farm Board has definitely
committed itself to go along witl} u-, in this program. Tl^ey have
agreed to make us this loan and not call for margins in the event
of a decline; moreover they have agreed not to call this loan in
the event of a temporary decline. 1 hey are going to work with
us carefully and wholeheartedly, as 1 get it. It seems to me that
it is a splendid opportunity for us to secure much good cotton
which is being held in the country ami advance to them Ihe pres-
ent prevailing price on the street, the shipper taking practically
no risk at these levels.
I hope you will take every opportunity to pass this word on
to members and j.ion-members alike and we will do eveiything we
can to expedite the loans with the Farm Board.
I spent all of last week in Washington, working out the de-
tails with representatives of the Farm Board and only Saturday
the documents were completed. Those documents must be signed,
certified to, etc. and reach Washington for approval before a loan
will be available to us and certainly no time will be lost in this
office in completing^them. However much time that will take is
.a matter of conjecture. They understand though the importance
of speedy action, especially in this State before all the cotton is
gone.
With every hope that this word will reach as many a3 possible
and with kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
HARRY WILLIAMS •
General Manager.
