ped their first conference game in
two years yesterday and pulled
themselves from the cellar of the
Oil Belt percentage column.
Accompanied by sonic 500 fans
on apodal train and in automobiles,
Coach E. A. llcnnig and ills Mus-
tang club, went to Big Spring
Tuesday morning, grimly determin-
ed to give Hie best in the dedica-
tion game at Steer stadium and
they did give their best on a slop- j
py, muddy field which probably
kept the Mustangs from scoring
more points than they did.
The Mustangs, the underdogs of \
this affair, outweighed, less exper- j
ienced and doped to lose by three ,
or more touchdowns, played real,
henest-to-goodness football before 1
1,5(10 people. The football exhibited
by the Mustangs was typical of the j

first lime the Mustangs had ever

the court says, the procedure
to correct it would he by mo-
