The headline game of not only
thi» district, but of this section
will be played in Graham EYiday
night, when the Steers, unbeaten,
but once tied (according to official
count), meet the unbeaten and the
untied Coyotes of Wichita Falls.
Although the Wichitana are al-
ready playing Swetwater in the
quarter-finals in their minds, they
are going to find out to their dis-
may that they should have played
the Steers, for the home boys will
upset the dope bucket and smear
the dope all over the Coyotes.

In nearby Olney, the Cubs will
entertain the Childress Bobcats,
another district fray Friday
night. The Cubs are once-beaten
and once-tied, the Childress boys
are once-beaten. Childress will be
trying to keep s mathematical
ce at the district title, and
xhould prove too much for the
Cubs. Childress 12, Olney 6.
In the remaining district melee,
the once-beaten Vernon Lions will
be playing the often-defeated
Quanah Indians, and will also be
■imoting for that mathematical
chance. It will be a home game
for the Lions, and should not prove
difficult. The Vernonites could
score at will, but will probably
hasp the score down to Vernon
19, Quanah 0.
Once beaten and once-tied Burk
will have a nob-conference oppon-
ent in journeying to Gainesville
Gainesville has been touted as one
of the district leaders in its sec
tion, and the Burkdogs will not
be playing on their field. Gaines-
ville should take this once. Gaines
