Jefferson took a long lead in
Friday night’s game here, but Bo-
gata came back to make a good
ball game of the rough affair,
which was won by Jefferson 26
to 13.
Jefferson took the kick-off on
their own 40 and marched the
distance for a TD before losing
the ball. Bramlett went over his
own right guard from the 1 foot
line on a fourth down try.
Early in the’ second period the
Bulldogs punted to Jefferson on
their own 23. On the second play
C., Wilson broke into the open
and ran 77 yards untouched for
their second tally. This time the
point was good. The third Jef-
ferson TD came by a 55 yard pass
play from Bramlett to C. Wilson.
This gave Jefferson a 19 to 0 lead
early in the second quarter.
When Bogata received the kick
on their own 35 they started a
passing attack which carried them
to pay dirt for the first time.
Passes from Jeffery to D. Wilson,
N. Allums to Jeffery and N. Al-
lums to M. Williams carried the
ball to the 20 and from there M.
Allums tossed to M. Williams who
ran the ball over. The try for
extra point by Jeffery was wide.
Bogata’s next TD brought the
fans to their feet with time almost
out in the first half. Jefferson at-
tempted a long pass which was in-
tercepted on the Bogata 40 by
Jeffery, who picked up some nice
blocks and went up the sideline
for a TD just as the half ended.
Jeffery kicked the extra point.
The lone TD of the second half
came about midway of the third
period. After Vaughan recovered
a fumble on the Bogata 47. C. |
Wilson intercepted a Bogata pass '
on the 40 and ran the ball to the
Bogata 20. On the second play I
from that position, C. Wilson
scored around left end. The try
for point was good. This brought
the score to 26 to 13,- which was ,
the final score.
Twice in the final period Bo- \
gata was in scoring position, once
beyond the 10 yard line, but
could never reach the double f
stripe.
Both teams contributed hard
blocking and low, vicious tackling
to one of the hardest played ball j
games of the season. Bogata’s!
passing which has shown steady j
improvement all season, was bet-
ter than ever Friday night. H. |
Allums was back in the lineup j
after having missed last week’s j
game because of two broken ribs |
he suffered at Linden. Missing
was O. Bolen, who has an in-
jured knee.
In the line, Vaughan, H. Allums
and M. Allums played well de-
fensively and M. Williams and
Jeffery manned the linebacking
spots well. Connie M. Hobbs, re-
serve, who saw considerable ser-
vice, played quite well.
Bogata had 12 first downs to
11 for Jefferson. Jefferson had
251 yards rushing to 102 for Bo-
gata. Bogata attempted 17 pass-
es, had one intercepted and com-
pleted 9 for 108 yards, while Jef-
ferson attempted 4, had one in-
tercepted and completed one for
55 yards,
The Bogata News has a birth-
day this week. It completed
thirty-nine years of publication
last week and this edition carries
Volume 40, Number 1 under the
masthead.
It was established by the late
Bob Stanley in 1911 and later sold
to Price Collins in 1912. Two
years later Collins sold to Char-
les Houser, who being unable to
make the paper pay cost of pro-
duction, suspended publication
and moved the plant to West
Texas.
Bogata was without a newspa-
per for a while until a Mr. Nance
moved a plant to Bogata and op-
ened a picture show in connection
therewith. After a year he sold
The News to Martha Tanner, a
red head from Oklahoma, who
later married Charlie Allen.
The Allens published The
News for several years, during
which time the plant was destroy-
u by fire, which burned all back
files of the publication. The Al-
lens sold to H. L. Kimsey in 1936
and moved to Dallas. Kimsey
published The News a year and
in August, 1937, sold to the pres-
ent publisher. Upon leaving Bo-
gata Kimsey bought the Handley
News. He had an ad in the Dallas
News two weeks ago offering that
newspaper for sale and stating
that he had cleared $1,000 a year
above operating and living costs
for the fourteen year period, His
Bogata friends will be glad to
learn he did so well at Handley.
Inability to make any money at
Bogata was W'hat prompted him
to sell The Bogata News.
John Reece, Eddie Stancyk,
Mrs. Helen Williams, Mrs. Amv
Craddock, Mrs. H. H. Lowry,
Mrs. Gus Swaim and now Mrs.
Marvin Ward have served as re-
porters for The News during the
past fourteen years under the
present ownership.
Type for The News was set by
hand, a slow and tedious work,
until it came under the present
ownership. With modern ma-
chinery, it is now possible to
make The News just as large as
advertising patronage will justiftr.
We mean that for every column
inch of advertising The News sella
it can afford to and does print a
column inch of news.
Due to the smaller type used
by The News, it prints more than
twice as much news as in the old
hand-set days, and its paid in ad-
vance subscribers are nearly
twice what they were when the
present management purchased
The New's. The size of its pages
have also been enlarged from six
to seven columns.
The News has done just as good
job for Bogata as the advertising,
job work and subscription patron-
age would permit, and we expect
to keep on doing it.
We wish to, upon our birthday,
thank those who have patronized
The News and who have taken
occasion to compliment it to
friends. We sincerely appreciate
your slightest consideration.
