Contest Winner
Tuesday, October 29, farmers
in the Cottonwood area met to
organize and elect a board of
directors for the Cottonwood
Water Supply Coop. This organ-
izaion has been formed to in-
vestigate the possibilities of
supplying water to the people
in the vicinity of Cottonwood.
It would mean that a well would
be built in this area to supply
he homes with running water.
Twenty-six residents met to
elect the following to the Board
of Directors: Cyril Svrcek, presi-
dent; John Krizan, vice-presi-
dent; Eldon Pavelka, secretary-
treasurer, and Raymond Holy
and John Mynar as directors.
Each of the 26 present donated
$50.00 to the project.
The next step toward getting
this project fully underway is
for the residents of that area to
contact any one of the board of
directors and make known to
them that you are interested in
helping with the project.
If enough interested parties
living in the neighborhood of
the Cottonwood Store and east
of the City of West support this
project, an engineer from he
Farmers Home Adminitsration
will be called in to give addi-
tional advice.
The FHA usually requires that
there be five families to the
mile in order that the entire
area can be served. So that this
requirement will be met, any-
one interested please contact
any member of the board of
directors.

Trojans Shut Out Marlin 28-0;
Will Invade Teague Tonight
With three down and three
to go in district play, the Tro-
jans will meet the Teague Lions
tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Teague.
Football being the kind of
sport that it is, especially this
year, this sports writer won’t
venture any guesses. As they
say, we can only give you the
facts.
First thing that should be said
is that Adolph Vochoska will
not be in the line up tonight.
Adolph is the owner of a bruised
(foot, received in the Marlin
game last Friday night. The
coaches describe the injury as
not being serious, but needing
time to heal properly. Coming
in for Adolph tonight will be
Richard Urbanovsky at the full-
back position and Al Cocek at
the defensive linebacker spot
that Vochoska usually occupies.
Barton and Svrcek were the
men who broke the Marlin game
in the second quarter Friday
night, last. They will be in
there tonight, looking for a
chance and opportunity to do a
repeat performance.
In speaking with the coaches,
Coach Derrell Carlile says that

much easier from now on, due
to the fact that he has retired

the Lone Star Gas Company
here in West.
He came to West in 1937 as a
service representative for Lone
Star Gas Co. He was transferred
from Hillsboro where he had
been employed with the gas
company for several years.
While speaking with Mr.
Akins, he recalled that back in
1948 he had installed a floor
furnace and a water heater in
a tent at Whitney. The furnace
was set up on four concrete
blocks in the middle of the tent
and he ran the vent out the top.
Mr. Akins and his wife, Ruby,
live in the country, past the St.
Mary's Cemetery. They are ac-
tive in horse shows and will
spend the time now just enjoy-
ing life and raising a few white-
faced cattle.

Lodge and is a past president of
the West Longhorn Club. He is

Driest October
Listed Since ’52;
Drought Remains
Although Wednesday, Oct. 23,
conditions and clouds looked
favorable for the West area to
receive some badly needed rain,
things just didn’t jell and we
were not able to record any
measurable amount on that day.
Actually it was only a fine mist.
We were really anxious to have
some sort of measurement be-
cause our books now show that
this has been the driest Octo-
ber since 1952. In 1952 there
wasn’t any rainfall either, al-
though the yearly total was
30.30 inches.
This year’s total now stands
at a pat 18,03 inches, some 12
inches shy of 1952.
The drought reaches much
further than just the state of
Texas. Fires are a hazard
throughout the Eastern portion
of the United States.
Hurricanes along the coasts of
Florida, the Carolinas and Vir-
ginia are dreaded, always. This
year is a minor exception. Folks
in the area didn’t mind the eye
of the unpredictable Ginny com-
ing closer for they felt it might
yield the much needed rain. She,
failed them though, and went
back out in the Atlantic to die.
Farmers in the area are con-
tinuing to haul water and this
situation will continue for quite
a while, as much rain is needed
to refill the dry tanks before the
problem is remedied.
Monday, Texas began having
cooler nights, but each day has
brought about a rise in tem-
peratures. Forecasters have now
spotted a cool front in the Pan-
handle area, but are still not
predicting any marked changes
in present conditions due to the
stalling of the front. Rain is
definitely not in the crystal ball
of the weathermen.
added that West has never
played in Teague that there
wra.sn’t a good ball game for the
fans.
The Teague Lions have had
some hard luck this year. Still
looking for a win, the Lions are
eyeing West as the team they
would most like to topple. When
a team is out of the running
and are just out for “kicks” they
can be dangerous. They are re-
laxed; they have nothing to lose
and what greater thrill could
there be than to knock off the
top team in the district.
Two halfbacks named Sarton
and Davidson will be the trouble
makers for the Trojans tonight.
Lawdess tries to turn
up a
Our line is about the same size spark for the Bulldogs but Sulak,
as the Liens and they have an
edge on the Trojans with speed.
No doubt about it, they will
be digging in tonight when they
line up against the Trojans,
and will be looking for the
slightest chance to do some
steamrolling of their own.

WEST VS. MARLIN
West fans were well pleased
Friday night when the Trojan
eleven managed a 28-0 victory
over the Marlin Bulldogs and
also made it the second week in
a row that an opposing team
was unable to tally against
them.
The Bulldogs won the toss and
Trojan kicker, Donald Odle lift-
ed his toe under the pigskin for
the kickoff which was received
by Bulldog Lawless on the 15
yard line and returned to the
34. On first down the Bulldogs
made four yards with Jimmy
Rogers as quarterback but the
second down was the jinx, for
Rogers fumbled and Walter
Mellgren recovered for the Red.
This put the Trojans in Bull-
dog territory the first time they
had the ball, and on the 37
yard line, to boot. Gerik and
Reddell brought the ball to the
27 with a first down going.
Tommy Gerik then used the as-
sistance of Jerry Sparks who
went to the 25. On second down
it was Gerik who went right and
popped through for four yards.
With 3rd and 4 Gerik chose
Sparks again and he is brought
down just a fraction short of the
first down right around the 18,
thus bringing up 4th down. It
is Gerik to Vochoska this time,
and is the right play, for the
Vochoska and Humphrey dis-
agree. With third and 11 needed
Jimmy Rogers attempts a pass
to Beltran but it is incomplete
and Fillip punts once again and
the Trojans are in possession.
Tired of this back and fourth
situation, the Trojans go into
the spread and Barton hits Svr-
cek with a pin point pass from 35
yards out which is good and the
score is 12-0. A hand off to
Sparks for the extra points is
unsuccessful.
Clint Ferguson came in as
quarterback for the Bulldogs
and after a good kick off re-
turn by Cohn which placed the
ball on the Canine 35, the Bull-
dogs go to the air but the Tro-
jans don’t see it that way, and
Barton breaks up a pass to Cal-
houn which makes it 4th and 17
for the Bulldogs. Fillip punts
and Barton is there again on the
38 to take the ball and run it
up to the 43.
With 4:26 left in the third
quarter, Sparks gets the ball
on the handoff and gees snallow
right for five yards to the 48.
He is the chosen man again and
manages to pick up about two
yards on the play plus just get-
ting the ball over the mid-
field stripe. Needing three
yards for the first, Sparks
choses the middle and it is the
answer, as he manages to go to
the Canine 43 yard line and bag
a first down in the process. The
middle is good again for seven
yards and needing three more
for the first. Barton decides to
make the try and goes within
one yard of having the first.
Gerik then uses work horse Vo-
choska, who goes to the 33. The
ball is now on the 15 yard line team 0{ Rwidell and Sparks clip
and the Trojans have four more
downs. Reddell, Gerik, (on a
keeper) and Sparks bring the
ball to the 5 yard line with a
first and goal to go and Gerik
Idecides to try the left side
which he finds open. He goes
over the goal for the TD, and
it is 6-0 with 6:14 left in the
first period. The try for extra
points involves a pitchout to
Svrcek which is no good.
off ten more yards in three tries
and it is first down on the 24.
The first try on a hand off
froth Gerik to Reddell is no
good. Still needing ten, Barton
goes under and keeps the ball,
rounding up only two yards.
With third and eight on about
the 22, Barton goes to the
spread and hits Svrcek, which is
good for six points. A pass from
Barton to Urbanovsky is also
Odle kicks off once more and d and the score is 2o-0.

MRS. HOLASEK
RETURNS HOME
Mrs. J. F. Holasek returned
home Wednesday from Scott
and White Hospital in Temple.
Mrs. Holasek has been in the
hospital six weeks. Her daugh
it is taken on the 18 bv Law-
less who goes to the 36. Lawless
is the man with the ball but is
unable to muster up the ten
yards and finds himself faced
with a fourth and five sitor-
ation and is forced to call on
Joe Fillip on the boot, which is
taken by Sparks on the 25 yard
line. The Bulldogs are there too.
and he is thrown for a loss of
one y&rd, making it first down
on the 24.
The Bulldogs don’t like the
score one bit, and it is obvious
that they are there to do some-
thing about it. Vochoska and
Reddell are unable to get far
upfield with boys like Fischer,
Palacious and Lawless there to
meet them each time. The
Trojans find themselves with
fourth down and still needing
9 yards, which is the call for
Binner to do some punting. He
does, and the ball is received on
the 30 and receiver Wood goes
to the 37.
With Marlin in persission on
their own 37. the Trojans decide
that they will flex their muscles
and hold them for four downs
still needing seven for the first.
Fillip punts and Barton receives
on the 22.
The defensive battle has be-
gun and each team takes the
ball for four downs and then is
forced to punt. The Trojans are
able to get only one earned first
down and that is the same for
the Marlin Doggies, until the l

been staying with her in Tern- first half with the score remain-2-2 Fumbles Lost 2-4

Marlin tries the airlanes too,
but finding themselves with
third, needing 15, Ferguson tries
to hit Calhoun but it is not
enough for the first down, shy
fourth, and they use the toe of
Fillip once again.
Not over-confident, the Tro-
jans decide that maybe they
need some more marks on the
board and begin a drive from
their own 38 which finds them
with a first down and goal to go
from the five yard line. Reddell
is the ball carrier this time and
he goes around left side for the
touchdown. A successful pass
from Barton to Gerik makes the
score 28-0,
The Bulldogs have not given
up and they try to go to the
air again but boys like Johnny
Bajer don’t agree and a pass
from Ferguson to Garrett is
broken up. With time running
out. the Trojans have the ball
on the 38 yard line of the Bull-
dogs but are unable to manage
a score before the whistle blows.
The record books now show
that West has won their first
three district games. With three
more to go, West fans will see
plenty of football for the next
three weeks.

On the 22 and runs the ball all
the way up to the 42. With first
down now coming up, Reddell
fumbles and the Bulldog quar-
terback, Richard Secerson re-
covers.
They aren’t able to hold on
to the ball long though, and a
fumble by the Bulldogs is re-
covered by Richard Matus mak-
ing it first for the Trojans on
their own end of the field. They
don’t keep the ball long either,
and Binner is forced to kick
from the 49.
