NEGRO HOUSE BURNS
Fire, in the corner of a room,
-destroyed the home and contents,
including some cash savings, in
the home of Winnie Ritchie in
“South Town” at 4:30 this morn-
ing. The local Fire Department
Tespwnded to the call, but tht-
fiwncs had gained such headway
that the building, a 4-room struc-
'tnre, and its contents were de-
stroyed. On account of the distance
from a fire hydrant, the pumper
-and storage tanks, with the water
supply augmented by a volunteer
bucket brigade of Negro neigh-
bors were used. The Firemen ex-
press appreciation for this patrio-
tic Service.
It’s a great consolation to know
you have insurance protection
when fire attacks your home or
property. It’s never too early to
have it insured, but could be too
late. See E. B. St. Clair today for
good insurance, an sleep soundly
at night.

Fine Pass Record
Of Panther Ace
May Stand Test
Keep aa eye on Mart’s passing
Roy Smith Friday afternoon when
you journey over Mart way to
watch the locals take on the
Panthers of a bi-district pennant
because you might be seeing the
makings of another famous college
gridiron Star.
Although only a class-A player
Smith stands an excellent chance
to become another Jarrin’ John
Kimbrough or another Jack Crain
as both of these gridiron heroes
are products of class A football.
Smith has worked a ten game
schedule this season, has tossed
115 aerials und has completed 59
of them for a .513 average, gain-
ing 914 yards and netting 12
touchdowns. This record has been
established in spite of the fact
that the Panther backfleld ace has
played less than half of the time
in many of the Mart games. His
record would have been much bet-
ter had iw>t receivers dropped
many a well placed toss.
And if season precedent means
anything at all young Smith’s arm
will get a right nice little work-
out F/iday afternoon for it is ex-
pected that the Panthers will launch
a stiff aerial attack against the
Teague Lions. .

Since no one has said anything
or written anything about foot-
ball during the past few months,
we decided that it is time that we
dig in and write something. *
1-m
From the way the “sitcheashun’
looks now, Friday is liable to be
the last game for the Teague
Lions this year, and far be it
from us to want the lads to go
down in ignoble defeat. -Such in-
glorious defeats happen often, not
always to the Inferior team, but
sometimes to the team that has
lost its spirit.
1--m
Now don’t get up in the air
. . . we aren’t saying that Teague
has lost its spirit, but it has de-
cidedly had a slump in pep since
the playing of the Ennis game.
Why? We surely don’t know , .
there’s no reason for it.
, ‘ 1-id 7
We could get way out on a
limb by making assertions about
how the Aggies should have
beaten Texas last Thursday, but
we won’t. But we do know that
unless the eleven lads that com-
pose the Teague lions don’t buck
up and play as hard as they did
against Groesbeck, Ferris, Mc-
Gregor, Wortham and Fairfield,
the story Friday isn’t going to be
any too happy.
1-m
Now look boys, this is just be-
tween us. Some of you we don’t
know . . . others of you we have
been knowing since you were
knee-high to a duck, and we don’t
like .to think that you will go to
Mart looking like something the
cats dragged in and let the Panth-
ers beat the hey out of you. There
ain’t no sense it it.
We have bragged and boasted
about Leamon all year . . . how
good he is, what a smooth runner,
what a good stiff-armer and such
. . . but that is past history. We
have known the two Gillies since
they were kids and know that
they are hard and square players
. . . will they lay down? Herbert
Stricklin has exhibited more
fight than we thought anyone had
. . . will he do it again? Ken
Rubs must be a good kid—he’s got
a swell family—and sports writers
have been praising him all year.
We know what Robbins Wylie
can do and we know that Art
Daniels is unbeatable when he is
fighting. Haws at tackle is a bul-
wark. Curly Guyton has been an
outstanding player for two years.
Ted Fawver is called a trashy back
and Captain Rudasill never stops
playing.
1-m
Did 'you ever read a more im-
posing lineup? Could anyone be-
lieve that a team like that could
be defeated ... if they want to
win?
1-m
Many a good battle is won or
lost before the teams ever go on
the field. All that Teague has to
do is to decide to win, and that
we must do.
1-TO
It isn’t 9 matter of gaining a
lot of personal laurels. It isn’t a
matter of wining a mere title.
But there is a great deal of satis-
faction to be had from knowing
that you can win. • It has been a
long time since our school has
won a football title, and this is
our chance. Let’s do it.
1-m ,
So look, fellows, this is your
fight, and it is up to you to fight
it. Don’t tell anyone that, we told
you, for it seems to be something
of a secret, but whole town
is behind you. Maybe they’re not
going out of their way to show
it . . . but believe me, we’re with
you. The rest is up to you. We
always hope the best man wins,
and we believe that you are the
best men. Power to you!
