man victory over Ballinger the sons come Friday night of this
past Friday night, and the up- week,
coming shootout with Eastland
here Friday night when the dis"
trict title will be on the line
Eastland has cinched a share
of the title, but if the Bluecats
down the Mavericks they will be
co-champions and will advance
to the state playoffs. At the sea-
son’s start, the thinking was that
Easfjand was invincible, but that
has all -changed since the Mav-
ericks have been fighting 1 for
their lives while the Bluecats
are coming on strong.
It is an understatement to say
that spirits and optimism are
high in Coleman. At this point
the Bluecat supporters believe
their tegm can win it all. Some-
times such things as attitude,
school spirit and positive think-
ing can make the difference,
Coleman ha* plenty of ail those
factors.
The old “apple for the teach-
i er” bit got reversed at high
'Chool Monday morning, when
r.ineipal B. J.. Will.is railed a
urprise assembly and during
the proceedings presented a big
red apple to each member of
the fodtball team. He implied
that thus ceremony might be the
start of a new tradition at Cole-
man High School. After talks
and cheers, the - entire student
body paraded in downtown Cole-
mah. Now. SIT”W BXSTO are-
in progress, but it is doubtful
that even the exams will damp-
en the enthusiasm and spirit at
Coleman High School.
Yes Coleman has football
fever and is enjoying every min-
ute of it. Hufford Field had

FOOTBALL FEVER AND SCHOOL SPIRIT are at an
all-time high at Coleman High School, following the
victory over Ballinger Friday night and with the show-
down with Eastland for the district title set here this
week. A surprise program was held at high school yester-
day morning, with a school assembly, when players were
presented a big red apple by Principal B. J. Willis, who
asked the cheerleaders to assist him in the .presentation.
Following introductory remarks by Willis, coaches spoke
to the student body. Shown above, Coach Jack Baucom
is at the speakers stand, with Principal Willis in the
background, The players were seated on the stage and
some are shown in the picture above. Following the
assembly, the entire stude'nt body paraded through
downtown Coleman, the football boys riding on fire
trucks, as shown in the bottom, picture. See other pictures

Nita Campbell Wins 3rd
Football Contest Crown
If you think ' the womenfolk
don't know their football, for-
get it. They’ve, always had good
fortune in the newspaper’s Col-
lege Football Contest but Mrs.
Nita Campbell, whose home is
in Slaton but temporarily liv-
ing in Paducah—became a
three-time champion as she
picked 19 winners and then
out guessed several other con-
testants who had 19 on her
score for the Texas Tech-TCU 1
game.
Mrs Campbell and husband,
K. W. are both natives of San-
ta Anna. She is the former
Juanita Creamer. Mrs. Camp-
bell won championships in 1968
and 1969.
It was the most unusual con-
test in the history of them, as
no less than six contestants
'ad 19 out of 20 eorrect
uesses. Nothing like that has
ver happened before as the |
games went remarkably to
form.
Mrs! Campbell picked Tech
to beat TO. 21 10 (5 points off
the actual 22-14 score) to win
the $7.50 cash prize. Lee Dow-
ney of Mozelle and Cathye
Kirby of Coleman tied for the
runner-up subscription prize
and will receive duplicate
prizes. Downey picked Tech 28-
17 and Mrs. Kirby had it 17-
lb, both 9 points off. There
was also a tie for the $2.00
third place prize between Ver-
non Lewis and Mrs. A. V. Ray-
mer, both of Coleman. Their
scores, were 28-20 (12 off). Mrs.
Norma Hector also had 19, but
missed out on her score of
30-24.
In the 18-winner bracket
were Tommy White of Brown-
wood, Rudolph Jackson of Har-
ker Heights, C. A. Moore, Opal
Barnett, Juanelle Hagler, Larry
Flynn, Newt Storey, Mack
