Hornets Start 'Second Season' Against Canyon
Hornets, Eagles Clash For Bi-District Honors Saturday Night In Plainview
Hornet footballers played the second game
of their regular season against Canyon. Now
they start the "second season"—the play-
offs—against the same Eagle squad.
Canyon, District 1-AAA champion, and
Tulia, runner-up in District 2-A, will lock
horns at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Bulldog Sta-
dium in Plainview in a bi-district match.
The only option open for a Friday night
game was Buffalo Bowl, north of Canyon,
which would have cost each school approxi-
mately $1,500. Neither team wanted to Hip on
a home-and-homc basis.
This left the options of each selecting a
neutral site. Tuliachose the Plainview stadium
and Canyon opted for Buffalo Bowl. Winning
the coin toss, Tulia selected Bulldog Stadium.
The stadium had already been reserved for
Friday night.
As the "home team," Tulia will occupy the
west bleachers— located beneath the large
press box—and will utilize the west parking
lot.
Coach L. G. Wilson said qualifying for the

playoffs leaves one with a "sense of fulfill-
ment."
He added that a "no tomorrow atmosphere"
prevails in playoff games for both players and
coaches. "We (coaches) usually open up
more," the Hornet mentor said.
"We will be the underdog (Saturday night);
we've got everything to gain and nothing to
lose. It's fun football when you get into the
playoffs," Wilson said.
Although Canyon downed the Hornets 17-
7 on Sept. 9, Coach Wilson pointed out that
"When you get into the playoffs, any team is
capable of beating another team on any given
night. We have improved considerably since
we played Canyon earlier, and I realize they
have improved, too."

Demos Carry County
True to its tradition, Swisher County
stayed basically in the Democratic col-
umn Tuesday in the general election,
favoring the Dukakis/Bcntscn duo in
eight of its ten boxes and absentee. As a
whole, the county gave the Democratic
Presidential team an 1,893 to 1,271
plurality over the Republican Bush/
Quayle nominee.
The exceptions were Kress and Cen-
ter Plains, which favored Bush/Quayle
by 92-77 and 31-23, respectively.
Libertarian Party standard-bearer
Paul/Marrou received 15 Swisher votes
for President and Vice President while
the New Alliance team of Fulani/Mcn-
dez had no votes.
Even without local races, 3,314
Swisher residents either visited the polls
on Tuesday or voted absentee. This
represented 67.58 percent of the 4,901
registered voters in this county.
For U. S. senator, incumbent Lloyd
Bcnlscn was a clear choice in all 10
boxes and absentee. He polled 2,301
votes to 851 for Republican challenger
Beau Boulter of Amarillo.
Bill Sarpalius, the present state sena-
tor, received a 2,233-855 plurality over
Larry Milner for U. S. Representative,
District 13, Boulter's present post. Sar-
palius is a Democrat and Milner was
running on the Republican ticket.
Democrat Mel Phillips, whose wife is
a niece of Sen. Bcntscn, was named on
2,023 ballots to 1,151 for Republican
Teel Bivins for state senator, District 31.
INSPECTORS PRESENT
Two inspectors from the Secretary of
State's office paid two visits Tuesday to
each Swisher County box. The Herald
was informed. A petition bearing 15
names allegedly was forwarded to the
Secretary of State seeking the inspec-
tors.
Charles Fcaglcy polled 175 votes as a
write-in candidate for constable for the
entire county.
Two other new Swisher officials
were officially elected Tuesday, al-
though both had won the Democratic
nomination and did not have general
election opposition. Paul Scarborough
received 2,610 votes as sheriff and
Harvey Foster polled 711 votes as
Community
Pocketbooks
"We arc urging everyone who has
been fortunate enough to reap the re-
wards of a good life to share their good
fortune with those in our communities
who have fallen on hard times.
1 he true meaning of life is found in
the Ten Commandments: 'Love thy
neighbor as thy self and'Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.'
Let's all put these commandments into
practice this year! Won't you please look
into your hearts and help your friends
and neighbors this wonderful Christmas
season."
Over 525 families were helped to
have a brighter holiday last year by the
unique Christmas Love Fund. One of
the organizers anticipates "we could
have twice as many people needing help
this year.”
The individual told The Herald that
"It is time once again to be Blinking of
ways to help the families of our commu-
nities who are having a hard time just
making ends meet." This volunteer
would like to have "everybody in the
community involved."
Supporters of the Christmas Love
Fund met recently and formulated plans
for "helping families in need during the
Christmas season. We arc sending out
an URGENT PLEA for everyone in
Swisher County to help with this very
worthwhile project."
Tulia, Kress and Vigo Park will join
in the common effort. The Herald was
told.
