Round-Up

It seems that ole dog, Hard
Luck, is following closely in the
trail of this year's Westerners.
Injuries seem to be wished on
\
thf Westerners every time they!
put on the football togs. Last
reek the services of Joe Tyson
lost indefinitely as he
suffered a broken leg. J. B.
Privitt^Jfcpft^dinger and punter,
was lost When he was found in-
eligible.
Amarillo has finally lost a game
on the sacred Butler field. For ten
long years, that is since the field was
constructed, the Sandies had not
lost a game to a Texas high school
on their home field until the giant-
killers of Austin High of El Paso
measured the Sandies 7 to 6.
District one competition gets
under way $i?s week end as the
Plainview BvPdogs invade the
Smoky country up toward Bor-
ger way. According to critics,
the potentialities and possibili-
ties of these two teams are un-
known. The baPIe shou’d give
an advance showing of how the
teams will stack up in the race
for district one crown.
Westerners Try For First Victory At Big Spring
Now in possession of the Wester-
ners is one of the bast equipped gvid
irons in the state of Texas. A new
steel charging sled, four blocking
dummies, and a tackling dummy are
the latest additions to the footabil
plant. Just completed is the new
stadium which affords comfortable
seats for those who wish to watch
the Westerners in practice.

Statue Of Liberty Play
Wins Touch For Locals
Presenting a new and completely
rejuvenated eleven, coach Weldon
Chapman’s Westerners made their
second appearance of the grid season
against the husky Capitol Hill Red
skins of Oklahoma City last Friday.
The final score 'was 13-6 in favor of
the Redskins, although a glance a1
the statistics shows the results
might have been two touchdowns in
favor of the Locals.
The charges of Coaches Chapman
and “Goober” Keys made sixteen
first downs for a total of 328 yards
to the Redskins two first downs for
a total of 139 yards. In a belated
aerial attack the Westerners at-
;empted twenty-eight, completing
nine for 121 yards gain. In tw.o at-
tempts Capitol Hill completed two
.leaves good for 58 yards.
Redskins Strike Early
Midway in the first quarter Blab
Brown, left half for the invaders,
made his brilliant 45 yard dash for
paydirt and later converted for the
extra point. The half ended with
the Westerners deep in Redskins ter-
ritory with the score 7-0. The sec-
ond touchdown for the Soonei's came
in the third quarter.
Richter stepped out on the one
yard strip after receiving one of
Capitol Hill’s two passes. Bill Rog-
ers plunged over for the counter.
The Locals only counter came late in
the third when Cawthon on a statue
of Liberty play faded back instead
of running and heaved a long pass
to Max Walthall who took it on the
seven and raced over for the touch-
down. The attempt for the extra
point failed.
Westerners Game
In the final quarter the Locals
filled the air with passes, but the Okla-
homa City teams defense held and
the game ended with rhe ^Westerners
only a short distance into the Red-
skin territory.

Nothing Escapes
P. E. Instructors
Wary Eyes
Teeth, eyes, nose, feet, ears—noth-
ing escaped physical education in
strustors this past week as physical
education students were examined
and their health appraisals put on
record.
A record of each physical educa-
tion student’s -health condition is
being kept. The purpose is to bring
to light unknown weaknesses in see-
ing and hearing and to inform the
students of other physical weakness-
es which might have effect on poor
grades so that these weaknesses
might he corrected.
Information to be found on these
records includes height, weight, con-
dition of teeth, eyes, ears, nose, and
throat, health habits, posture, serv-
ous mannerisms, and general char-
acteristics.
Several boys and girls found that
they , needed glasses, and in some
cases this need is very urgent. To
those not quite up to par on eye
sight advice was given to sit on the
front seat in class rooms.
