Kittens Wind Up
As Eastern Half
Dist. Champions
The Archer City Wildkittens, di-
rected by Don Waldrip and Bar-
low Hill, proved the old adage
Monday night that a team that
won’t be beat can’t be beat, by
taking a thriller from the Iowa
Park juniors by a score of 14 to
7.
The Wildkittens broke the scor-
ing ice with a touchdown on which
they successfully make the extra
point for a 7 to 0 lead, which the
visitors later tied.
With less than 40 seconds left
in the game, the Kittens moved
the ball within scoring distance
and by the time the next play
could be started they looked
around at the clock which was
still running to find only 5 sec-
onds left. With this, they dis-
dained a huddle, ran into forma-
tion and had a successful forward
pass in the air when time ran out
for a 13-7 lead. On the extra point
try they completed another pass
for the 14 point total.
This win gave the Kittens the
undefeated championship of the
Eastern half of District 9 and the
Crowell Kittens have the Western
half sacked up. These two teams
will have a play-off for the cham-
pionship of the entire district at
a time and place to be announced
in next week’s issue.
Editor’s Note. We are extremely
sorry that we can’t go into furth-
er details on Monday’s junior
game or last Friday’s senior game
but lack of time forbids it.

AN APPEAL
A number of Archer City little
boys, between the ages of eight
and eleven, want very much to
join Cub Scouts—but at present,
there is not a Den Mother for
them. And due to the fact that
the present Dens are already over-
loaded, they cannot join.
Would not some mother of a
boy that age, or some other moth-
er or some woman interested in
these little boys’ welfare, come
forward and volunteer to serve in
that capacity?
The joy you will get in working
with them and the satisfaction of
knowing the good you are doing-
plus the appreciation shown by the
boys, themselves—wUl surely make
you glad you did.
If you wish to answer this des-
perate plea, contact Mrs. Bud Bled-
soe at No. 293, or Bud at the ASC
office, Tel. 127.___
MRS. JACK TITUS
ARCHER CITY NATIVE
DIES IN HOUSTON
Word was received today, just
as we go to press, of the death
of Mrs. Jack Titus, the former
Juanita Looney, in a hospital in
Houston. Services will be held
there Saturday morning.
-o-
Miss Vet Robinson was among
the ex-students of Midwestern Uni-
versity who enjoyed its Homecom-
ing the past week-end.
Also enjoying festivities over
the week-end were Joe Eustace of
this city, currently r 3 r"isd at
MU, and Miss Peggg 8 *, ex-
student and ex-Arct.®*^ a stu-
dent
Finale was written by death at
2:30 a. m. Wednesday to the suf-
fering of Robert Lee Sprott, long-
time resident of Archer City. The
end came after a 24-hour coma
at the family home in this city.
The deceased was born Decem-
ber 8, 1890, in Killeen, Bell Coun-
ty, Texas. There he was married
to Miss Winnie Ray in 1915, and
the couple, with their children,
moved to Archer City in the fall
of 1934. In the January following.
Sprott was stricken with the ail-
ment which, with complications,
finally took his life. He was vic-
tim of chronic asthma, other lung
trouble and heart ailment.
For 12 years, Sprott served as
nightwatchman in the Archer City
business district. Failing health
forced his partial retirement un-
til some four years ago when he
became unable to attend even part-
time work. He had recuperated
somewhat from a seige of illness
the past summer when life hung
in the balance for quite some time.
Survivors are the widow, one
son, R. L., Jr., of Clinton, Ark.,
and three daughters to include
Mrs. H. M. (Merle) Barnes of Bell,
Calif., Mrs. W. V. (Hope) Bates
of Fort Worth, Mrs. Ralph (Win-
nie) Boydstun, Archer City, and
Mrs. Bob (Betty) Abbott, Seymour;
nine grandchildren and one great
grandchild; two brothers, Roy of
Dallas, and Jim of Brackettville;
two sisters, Mrs. Arlene McDavid,
Brackettville, and Mrs. Ruby Turn-
er, Salt Flat.
Funeral services will be conduct-
ed Friday morning, 10 o’clock, in
the Taylor Memorial Chapel of the
Methodist Church with Sam Reed,
minister of the Church of Christ
of which the deceased was a mem-
ber, officiating. Interment will be
in the Archer City Cemetery un-
der direction of Owens k Brum-
ley Funeral Home.

Farm Census
Now Under Wav
Horace R. Gowan of Jacksboro,
crew leader of the district farm
census forces now at work in
Archer, Young and Jack Counties,
was a News office caller the first
of the week at which time he an-
nounced that enumerators started
working in earnest Monday morn-
ing.
Questiannaires have been mailed
to all farmers in the county who
are urged to have them filled out
when enumerators call for them.
This census is not to determine
the population but merely to learn
what every acre of land is used
for.
Archer County workers are Mrs.
Billy Page who has the southeast
quarter of the county; Mrs. L. J.
Wilson the southwest, and Mrs.
Doris Bloom in the north and
northwest part.

man at the University of Texas
and member of the Longhorn
Band.
The trip was occasioned by the
“Dads’ Day” celebration at Texas
and the Texas-SMU football game.
Very interesting and impressive
was the ROTC full dress parade
and salute paying homage to the
“dads” present. Each fraternity
and sorority house also paid tri-
bute to their fathers. All branches
of military service participated in

HEART VICTIMS IMPROVED
Again comes the happy report
that Archer City’s victims of re-
cent heart ailments are convalesc-
ing nicely.
Harry Pearston Was able to come
to town to cast his preference in
the election Tuesday and visit
briefly in his old haunt, the tax
collector’s office.
Elvin Haigood is improved to
the extent of being able to go to
the table for his meals.
Ves Morris is able to be up quite
a bit—and belliache because his
wife consults the doctor about his
meanderings.
Luther Wakefield is still getting
along nicely at his home here,
though his wife reports that there
seems to be no improvement in
the paralysis of his right side.
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Maxwell
and son, Chris, of Fort Worth vis-
ited the past week-end with the
gent’s sister, Lucille Phillips, and
aunts, Money Wilson and Mrs. An-
na Abercrombie, in this city.
The Maxwells were returning
home from a two weeks’ vacation
trip to Mexico City. Young Chris
had spent the time with his grand-
father, Gene Maxwell, and wife in
Wichita Falls.
Archer City Halfback Jimmy
Peirce, with able blocking on the
part of. his team mates, broke
loose on a 55-yard punt return
here Friday night in the opening
period against the Crowell Wild-
cats and crossed the goal stripe
for 6 [mints. He then proceeded to
run the extra point for a 7-point
lead and the local Wildcats held
on for a real honest-to-gosh upset
victory. The 7 point* proved exact-
ly what they needed as the visitors
managed only 6.
The much heavier and highly
favored visitors gained at will
throughout the game except in
the pay-off territory.
Crowell scored late in the first
period but failed to make good
on the conversion try and their
scoring efforts were foiled through-
out the remainder of the game.
However, they had a touchdown
nullified in the fourth quarter on
a clipping penalty.
Evidence of the type of defen-
sive show put on by Coaches Cof-
er and Schuelke’s boys is offered
by the fact that the entire fourth
period was played inside the Arch-
er City 30-yard line. One Crowell
drive was stopped on the Archer
City 1-foot line and numerous oth-
ers inside the 5-yard line.
The Wildcats will host the Hen-
rietta Bearcats Friday night with
the Wildcats rated favorites for
the first time this season.

CONSTRUCTION WORK ON
NEW METHODIST BUILDING
IS PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Kirby Blay was hospitalized Sat-
urday with broken ribs. The in-
jury occurred while Blay was help-
ing tear down an old house. He
was standing on a board atop the
roof when the board broke, letting
Kirby drape suddenly over a raf-
ter.
Construction of the new educa-
tional building at the First Meth-
odist Church in this city is pro-
gressing splendidly.
The building was started immed-
iately after members completed
the demolition of the old church
and had cleaned the brick and
cleared away the debris.

The board of directors of the
Archer County Chamber of Com-

Room. The financial statement was
given. Expenses to Oct. 31, 1954,
$17.71. Total- cash on hand
$1,560.03. The board organized new
committees and reorganized the ex-
isting ones. We now have a well
rounded organization. But it will
take the cooperation of every mem-
ber to make it a success. Organiz-
ed effort and hard work can ac-
complish most things. We must
work to make our country a bet-
ter place to live in. Our commit-
tees will meet as soon as possible
to outline their work. I look for-
ward to working with each of you.

Also at the Oct 28 meeting, the

traffic control measures.
The reply follows:

“Dear Sin
“Reference is made to your let-
ter of October 29, 1954, regarding
traffic studies for the cities and
towns in Archer County.
“We are entering a program of
studies for the towns and cities
of this district, and many of the
studies have already been made.
Among those already made are
those for Archer County. The re-
sults of the studies for Archer
County have already been submit-
ted to our Austin office for re-
view and adoption. When the final
analysis have been made, the Aus-
tin office will either approve or
recommend certain changes in our
proposals for placing in operation.
It will include such items as 6peed
zoning the highways on the ap-
proaches to and through the var-
ious towns of your county.
“For your additional intorma-
tion, we have a traffic light ap-
proved for Holliday and have al-
ready ordered the fixtures. Due to
the fact that some of the items
are difficult to obtain, there is
usually some little delay in re-
ceiving all items required to in-
stall the facility.

Tuesday Election
Draws Light Vote
Archer County
In Tuesday’s general election,
which saw a light vote, the Demo-
crats won as expected but we have
been unable to get the exact vote
total as our source of information
has been impossible to find and
lack of time forces us to forego
the exact score.
In the balloting on the eleven
constitutional amendments the fors
and againsts almost reached a
stalemate with the following re-
sults:
Amendment No. 1 — for 360,
against 151.
2— for 299, against 231.
3— for 276, against 232.
4— -for 447, against 98.
5— for 217, against 301.
6— for 228, against 262.
7— for 1«2, against 373.
8— for 180, against 299.
9— for 162, against 319.
10— for 333, against 162.
11— for 285, against 205.
Amendment No. 4 which was
that to transfer money from the
Confederate Pension Fund to mdfce
it available for the building of
state office buildings, met with
the favor of Archer County voters
by 449 to 98.
No. 7 which was designed to
force women to serve on juries
failed to meet with the approval of
Archer voters to the tune of 373
to 182.
Bob Morris has returned to his
stance behind the bars—the post
office window bars that is—and
his wife, Winnie Faye, to taking
dictation from County Judge D.
M. Harris after a three-weeks’ so-
journ in Corpus Christi and there-
about. They are a bit evasive about
the catch of Gulf trout, etc.
Also enjoying the fishing spree
were Winnie Faye’s parents, the
R. L. Hancocks, who returned ear-
ly last week and went to Amarillo
to visit a daughter.
And, too, Mr. and Mrs. E. D.
(Skinny) Jones joined the fisher-
men—and they’re still there, so
far as we know.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Sullivan
and daughter, Cissy, spent the past
week-end in Denton where the
Sullivan son, Hugh (Sonny) fresh-
man at North Texas State College,
performed as a member of the
Sabres, a precision drill team. This
particular team marches in all the
big parades at towns and colleges
in the area. According to his moth-
er, Sonny is going to be forced to
decide between continuing with
the Sabres and going out for track.
Both are pretty much all-time-con-
suming activities.
The Sullivans were accompanied
by Miss Pat Self of Thomas, Okla.

Harry Pearston was able to come
to town and vote and pay a brief
visit Tuesday to the staff, Carl
Adams and Marie Denhart, in the
sheriffs tax collecting office where
Mr. Harry so long held reign.
The heart condition, to which
Mr. Pearston a good many weeks
ago fell victim, is steadily improv-
ing.
ment. Just thought you would be
interested to know that we have
already made the studies you men-
tion for Archer County.

NOTED SPEAKER TO
APPEAR IN WICHITA FALLS
Tickets for the highly-touted
Herbert Philbrick lecture in Wich-
ita Falls Tuesday have been made
available to residents of this area,
it was announced Thursday.
Philbrick—the man who for nine
agonizing years led three lives as
a rising young advertising execu-
tive, Communist moving in the
upper echelons of American Red
circles and counterspy for the
FBI—will speak Tuesday at 8 p.
m. in Wichita Falls’ Memorial Au-
ditorium.
Philbrick’s appearance in Wich-

slated for the YWCA Centennial
Fund.
Priced at $1.50 for adults and
60 cents for students and service
personnel, tickets may be obtained

Wichita Falls.
The famed counterspy whose ex-
ploits made front page history is

“I Led Three Lives,” and the syn-
dicated column, “The Red Under-
ground.” The book was made in-
to a successful motion picture and
is now being dramatized in a spec-
ial television series on Channel
3 (KFDX-TV).
Originally scheduled for Criter-
ion Club members and their guests,
Philbrick’s lecture in Wichita Falls
was moved to Memorial Auditor-
ium and opened to the public in

Mr. and Mrs. Wayne King, long-
time Archer City residents, recent-
ly sold their home here to his
father, W. L. King, and on Satur-
day moved to Wichita Falls.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. moved in
Tuesday from their country home
some two mile* to the northeast.
The installers have arrived and
have started on the installation of
the new dial telephone system.
Mr. Ward, and Mr. BrinnDR are
here on the installations, with Mr.
Ward in charge.
The completion of the dial sys-
tem in Archer City is another step
toward notion-wide toll dialing.
We are in the process of placing
dial and ringers on all telephones
in Archer City for the dial *»
version. We would like to ask that
you please do not try to use the
dial at this time. Using the ”0*1
at this time causes confusion and
interrupted service. Your assist-
ance in this matter will be greatly
appreciated. We will advise you
at a later date when to start using
the dials.
