Honey Grove, Texas
Dear Mr. Barker:
Just a word of appreciation
for the fine spirit shown by your
boys on your recent visit to us.
. Coach reported that one of
your coaches even slwept out the
boys’ dressing- room after the
game was over. A small favor
maybe, but one very much appre-
ciated. Our fans have been loud
in their praise of your fine team,
and your sportmanship like con-
duct.
A film' was made of the game
Friday night and I am wonder-
ing if you would be interested in
showing it to your student body
after it has been developed.
Sincerely yours,
W. H. Smith, Supt.

Hawkins, Texas
Football Coach,
Honey Grove, Texas.
Dear Sir:
Not knowing you by name I am
nevertheless taking this oppor-
tunity to congratulate you for
the splendid team that you
brought down here the other
night. My boy, No. 15, who wat
playing at fullback with a bad
knee, said without any reserva-
tion that your team is the nicest
cleanest bunch of boys he has
ever played against; and he has
played against at least fifteen
other teams. Any severe twist o.
his left leg would have put him
out of the game; and we were
already without our regular quar-
terback and also the regular full-
back. So, being very short on re-
serves for the night, an injury tc
any of our starting team Would
have been bad for us.
Barring costly fumbles your
boys would probably have tied
us, at least; but, even though you
lost the game, you won the re-
spect and admiration of our en-
tire team, and all true sports-
men in our vicinity, who saw the
game. Football would be a pleas-
ure instead of a nightmare for us
parents if all teams were as well
tee, and presented by the T* ZT 7

"ooper Bulldogs
iose To Warriors
>n Friday Night
The Warriors were" victori-
ous in their first conference
•ame by defeating the Coop-
er Bulldogs by the score of
19 to 6 on the Bulldogs home
[field last Friday night.
The game started with
Honey Grove kicking to
Cooper who was held for
downs and required to kick
in order not to lose ground.
The entire first quarter was
a nip and tuck battle be-
tween the two teams with
neither being able to get near
the opponents goal line. Soon
after the starting of the sec-
ond quarter, Carpenter, on a
[thirty-five yard sprint a-
jround the right end, scored
the first touchdown with the
try for extra point, a kick,
'ailing.
Neither team was able to
;et into scoring position un-
il in the third quarter when
yer, on a short run through
he line, was able to carry a-
:ross for the second touch-
own and again the try for
ioint failed.
Itn the fading moments of
[the third quarter, Ted Ellis
intercepted a Cooper pass on
the Honey Grove twelve yard
'line and returned it to the
Cooper twenty-two, where
after two plays in the fourth
quarter, Dyer was again suc-
cessful in crashing to pay
dirt. This time the try foi
extra point was successful
giving the Warriors a score
of 19 points.
At this point the Bulldogs
[began desperately to try and
'gain a touchdown and filled
toe air with passes and just
as the game ending Mc-
Jonnell was able to carry a-
cross for their lone touch-
down with the try for extra
point going wide.
The key man for the Bull-
dogs was McConnell. Being
big and powerful, he was a-
ble to crash the _ Wiarrioi
line when short gains were
needed, but towards the hah
the line seemed to gain-
strength and was able tc
hold or-keep him from mak-
ing substantial' gains.
For the Warriors the back-
field was alert with Dyer-
showing to the best advan-
tage. The line was also on
its toes at all times, making
holes for the backs to go
through and holding so that
no holes appeared for the
Bulldogs to come through.
Especially did the work of
Scott and Cunningham at
guard, and Lyday, Sivley, J.
Smith, H. Smith and Hollo-
well show up well.
Starting lineups were: Hon-
ey Grove—H. Smith and
Hollowed, ends; Sivley and
J. Smith, tackles; Lyday and
Cunningham, guards; Brim-
mage, center; Becknall, Dy-
er Carpenter and Ellis,
backs. Cooper — Templeton
and Harris, ends; Toon and
Starkey, tackles; Bond and
Hooten, guards; Oats, cen-
ter; Jones, Brown, Wright
and McConnell, backs.

Bond Money Will
Be Used For
The Following
To repair and enlarge sew-
er disposal plant. This must
be done to protect the health
of our town and community.
More and larger pipe lines
will be laid to relieve the ov-
er-loaded condition of our
sewage system. During rai-
ny season, man holes on East
Market street overflow filth
into street and on adjoining
property. This is indeed a
serious health menace.
Including the Housing Pro-
ject there are one hundred
homes requesting sewage
connections. It is impossible
to service them without lay-
ing more sewage lines.
The city water mains and
other pipe lines have been in
the ground over fifty years
and they are beginning to
rust out and are badly in
need of repair and replace-
ment.
More water mains, and fire
hydrants are needed in dif-
ferent parts of town for pro-
tection against fire losses.
The standpipe will be
cleaned, repaired and paint-
ed.
The State Insurance In-
spector notified the City
that all water main gate
valves must be put in good
working order. If this is not
done it will mean an increase
in the fire insurance rate.
Water lines will be extend-
ed to property owners re-
questing city water. Many
water lines now in use are
too small to serve the pa-
trons properly. Larger lines
will be put in to relieve this
.situation.
Honey Grove has more
paved and all weather streets
chan any town of its size in
Texas. They must be re-
paired and topped or the
town will be back in the mud
.again.
The Board of City Com-
missioners will do everything
possible to see that the bond
money is spent carefully, e-
conomically and for the best
interest of the people.
Should the bond issue car-
ry, it will not raise the City
tax rate.
The water and sewage
bonds or not tax bonds. They
are revenue bonds and will
be paid out of the water and
sewage income.
The street bonds are tax
bonds but the present tax
late will take care of pay-
ments on same.
You are not voting to raise
taxes. You are, by your
vote, authorizing the Board
of City Commissioners to is-
sue bonds for the amount
necessary to make the im-
provements listed
THE TAX RATE WILL
NOT BE RAISED.
The Board of City
Commissioners.
