SAPPY REMARK: "Who won?”
iZZ7.lt
As if everybody didn't know
how the game came out as soon
as it was over. And knew how
it was gonna come out before that. ,
zzzzzz
Seems like there are always up-
II sets in everything. You will be
%\ going along, thinking the world
is more or less regular, and then
i,j something will fly up and hit you
p in the face. The only way to do
IH' is just to be expecting anything
Hr to happen.
zzzzzz
Just look at the weather we j
Hi have been getting nearly all fall.
H| Perfect for wheat, and nearly so j
H for cotton. The cotton crop is
H more than half out, and no damage
K to the staple. All of which is
■ fine. But some of these fine days
E Old Boreas is going to send us a
■ wintry blast, and folks are going
■ to feel abused.
zzzzzz
A mild cold front is expected for
Thursday, but maybe Armistice i
Day will not be bad. We have to
celebrate that in good shape, be-
cause that was when we were sup-
posed to have ended all wars,
zzzzzz
Politics broke out over the na- ;
tion Tuesday, with Mr. Lehman
elected senator in New York. The
Republican vote in Congress is cut
down a little more. We have been
hearing a good deal about making
Texas a two-party state. Instead
of that, we make make the coun-
try a one-party nation.
zzzzzz
Congress would have to do like
the legislature, the Democrats just
would have to fight it out among
themselves, dividing up as to New
Deal. etc.
zzzzzz
Along with the election come the
bank statements, showing the Un-
ited States still having a bunch of
money. The Dallas banks have
about one billion dollars on de-
posit. which is not like being broke.
Offhand, we should say that the
lack of money today is not the
worst thing wrong with the nation,
zzzzzz
One of the home happenings the
past week has created some local
interest. Mrs. G. S. Plants, 88.
was out in her yard and saw a
snake, which she killed with a
hoe. It turned out to be a rat-
tlesnake. with seven rattles. Mrs.
Plants came to Seymour in 1890,
when this country had to taken
from the rattlesnakes, just like it
had been taken from the Indians,
zzzzzz
Back in the earlier days of Mrs.
Plants there was not so much fi-
nance to worry about, when Dal-
las didn’t have a billion dollars.
Now when people have more
money, they have to work hard
to keep somebody from taking it
away from them.
zzzzzz
A Bill Paulson cartoon has one
of the neighbors to say: “Bureau-
crats that ‘spend and spend and
tax and tax’ remind me of the
sheepman who decided to skin in-
stead of shear."
zzzzzz
R. V. Wade says: We don’t know
if Tito is on our side or not; but
as the old sarge says, he’s attach-
ed to us for rations.
zzzzzz
Senator Soaper says: “Each gen-
eration becomes blase a bit earl-
ier, and a touching figure at this
time is the 18-year-old youth who
has exhausted every thrill except
going over Niagara Falls in a hot
rod."
zzzzzz
Billy Rose: “Some years ago a
girl who worked for one of the
art galleries married a man old
enough to be her father's father.
What he lacked in youth, however,
he more than made up for in life
insurance.”
zzzzzz
Claude Callan: "People blame
Aunt Gretchen for ruining her
boys, but you can look at them
boys and tell that one parent
couldn't have done it all.”
zzzzzz
Dorothy Dix says it is a mistake
to think that the altar alters any
man.
zzzzzz
In all candor and at the risk of
being undiplomatic, our problem
is not only to get Europe on its
own feet but off our backs.—ECA

husband a promise that he would

Hal Cochran was telling about
a Kentukian who had lived past
100 years and had never seen an
auto. Hal said it was unnecessary
to ask him the secret of his long
life.

A Dallas psychiatrist warns par-
ents on too much advice on how
to rear their children. The doc
thinks so much has been said on
the subject that the parents get to
where they think no matter what
they do, it is wrong.

today that the date for the Sey-
mour-Ranger football game had

Panthers Drop
Last Conference
Tilt to Iowa Park
The show of power displayed
by the Iowa Park Hawks last Fri-
day night would do credit to many
a double A team. I believe the
Hawks to be the most under
rated team in the district. They
have two of the hardest running
backs we have seen this year,
Jackie Banks and Johnnie Worrell.
Both boys hit the line as if they
mean to go through. Their block-
is the best this writer has seen in
the district. Speaking of block-
ing, I am of the opinion that down-
field blocking is one of the main
weaknesses of the Panthers. Of
course, one can't overlook the
blocking of Brady Underwood and
Archie Johnson. Archie usually
bowls over two or three to give
the runner several more yards
And Brady Underwood almost al-
ways gets his man. They usually
know when “they been got," too.
Evidently the little hint dropped
last week in the initial column of
the Sportscribe Spouts paid off
dividends. The guilty parties, it
seems, have gotten on the ball and
are keeping training rules. More
power to you. fellows.
The much needed break the-
Panthers are getting this week be-
fore meeting Ranger here Novem-
ber 17 will enable this scribe to
watch the leading ground gainer
and scorer in the nation to per-
form at Abilene Friday night. Brad
Rowland, the McMurry College
Indians' Ace, is the man we are
talking about. The Indians engage
Hooward Payne College of Brown-
tjrood in the Indians Homecoming
game. Not because the old alma
mater is McMurray, but because
they have one of the top teams
in the state outside of the South-
west Conference we’ll take them. \
In Texas Conference game to be
played, we'll pick the passing of j
Ray Morrison's Austin College |
Kangaroos to upset Abilene Chris- j
tian College at the Wildcat's
Homecoming in Abilene Saturday. j
We'll also pick the rambiln' Har- j
din College Indians to outscore j
Oklahoma City University. In the j
Southwest Conference, SMU should !
come roaring back to down the |
Arkansas Razorbacks. A. & M,, j
who last week surprised the na- J
tion with their moral victory over j
SMU, the score was 27-27, will
not fare so well this week against
Jess Neely's Rice Owls. Also, we
predict that Paul Campbell will
pass the Texas Longhorns to a
win over Lindy Berry and the
TCU Horned Frogs.
Now, we ll stick our neck out
again on some high school games.
In District 9A, well predict that
Iowa Park will trounce Chillicothe;
Burk will stomp Olney, and Arch-
er City will edge Holliday. In
other games, Munday will un-
doubtedly fall victim to mighty
Haskell, and Anson should run
over Stamford. The Childress Bob-
cats, who last year upset the Wich-
ita Falls Coyotes, will bear the
brunt of revenge Friday night.
Whoever named the Iowa Park
football team the '‘Hawks,” cer- |
tainly tacked on a misnomer, j
Those boys should be called the
“Dark Horses.” After being told |
all year by the various sports i
writers, (who always pick ’em;
right that the Hawks were the j
easiest team in 9A to hand a dub- j
bing. the Panthers went over there j
Friday night to play football. They i
did. too. Of course, the locals made j
a few mistakes, but who doesn t? ;
The Hawks have had the best de-
fensive team in District 9A this j
year, with only 57 points scored j
against them. Last Friday night;
they had the best offense this !
scribe has seen all year in class!
"A" football.
Midway in the first quarter, the |
Hawks got under way when Jim- j
my Hair, their center, came In fast j
to block David Lane's punt on \
the Iowa Park 44 and send it
back to the Panthers' 34. On the
first play after they took over,
the Hawks were penalized five
yards for offsides. Then, Jimmy
Worrell, a converted end. picked
up three. Jackie Banks took a
pitchout from quarterback Jerry
Cope and scampered to the five. |
Two plays later he went over. <
Banks' try for point was good.
Both teams threatened in the sec-
ond quarter, but neither could mus-
ter the final punch.
The Flying Hawks scored the
first time they gained possession
of the ball after the half. The Pan.
thers made one first down on the
Hawks 40, but were unable to get
the second one. David Lane got
off a nice 47 yard punt down to
the Hawks 12 yard line. From
there, the Hawks went 88 yards
for their second tally of the night.
They used up most of the third
quarter in their march, making
six first downs in succession and
chalking up no runs good for more
than ten yards. Johnnie Worrell
took the ball over from the three
for the second TD for the Hawks.
Banks elected to run the extra
point over and the score was 14-
0.
Archie Johnson, the Panther's
quarterback, took Banks' kickoff
on the Panthers 16 and carried it
back 15 yards before he was
brought down. On the first play,
Ben Huckaby, defensive end for
the Hawks, intercepted a Panther
pass and carried it back upfield
to the Hawks' 45. The Hawks went
on the march again, and shortly
after the start of the final period
had their third touchdown. Bank's
try for point was low and the
final score was “Hawks” 20 “Pan-
thers" 0.
