VOLUME 47
CORRIGAN, POLK COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1941
NUMBER 37
SPARE THAT TREE!
The Corrigan Bulldogs Friday
night will journey to the northern
end of the district to battle the
highly regarded Elks of Coach Her.,
man Phillips. Elkhart has proven
very tough this year. They are un-
beaten. Due to an ineligble man,
however, who played against Grape-
land in a game that came out a
scoreless tie Elkhart had to for.
felt.
Should the Bulldogs defeat the
strong Elkhart Elks Friday night
they would stand a good chance of
second place in the district.
Some changes are sure to come
in the Bulldogs starting line.up for
Elkhart ; so we do not even pre-
dict the probable starting lineup.
CLEVELAND TRIMS
CORRIGAN 7.0.
LOCALS DROP HEART
BREAKER TO CLEVELAND
By W. C. F.
The Cleveland Indians Friday
night handed the Corrigan Bulldogs
ilieir third defeat in a row. The
Indians score came in the second
quarter when they intercepted a
pass from Fred Smith intended for
Haynes.
The Bulldogs of Coach Barfield
showed their best offense thus far
this season. They reached the
Clevelands five yard line when
Jennings Parrish fumbled and
Cleveland recovered.
The Bulldogs still lack that little
matter of having the scoring punch
Should they develop a little more
determination to move forward
when the going is rough they may
prove tough to Elkhart, Grapeland,
and Groveton,
Cleveland featured the fine play
of Jordan and Smith while the
Bulldogs had Fred Smith, Jennings
Parrish, and J, D. Fuller.
Fuller, a one hundred and thirty
five pound tackle, was the out-
standing lineman by far on the
field. He was in Cleveland's back-
field all night, and had a big hand
in keeping the score as close as it
was.
To (hose whom it may concern,
(he eleven boys who started and
played all the third quarter will
he hack to fight for the Bulldogs
eleven next year.
Mrs. Buck Powell and children of
Galveston visited in the home of
her mother, Mrs. F. E. Watts over
the week end.
The battle between Cleveland
High Shool’s Indians and (he Corri-
gan Bulldogs on last Friday night
was fine in every way—except the
score. These two teams seemed
to this scribe to be just about as
evenly matched as could possibly
be. We haven't compared the
weights, but believe the Liberty
County boys were just a shade
heavier than the locals, but, all in
all .it was a great game and Corri-
gan's boys proved that they had
what it takes in determination.
Tile score was 7 to nothing in
favor of Cleveland.
However, at one time the local
boys only liked a few steps going
into the payoff. Another time, or
rather two times, the fleet footed
hefty from Moscow, Jennings Par-
rish, fell when he should have
made about two hundred yards
gain. And he would have, but his
ankle was sore at the start of the
game and soon after the start he
got the other one twisted and he
just couldn't run and limp on both
ankles.
Fred Smith also got battered up
a bit along about the middle of
the game blit when he begged
so hard. Skipper B a r f ie 1 d
finally allowed him to go back
in. If all the players fussed
and begged and cavored when
the coach pulled them like some
of our boys did Friday night, then
lie would have to play about 25
men all the time in every game, or
else fix him up a calliboose instead
of a bench.
Two defeats in a row, Crockett
week before last and Cleveland last
week, have not dampened the hopes
of the boys and we glory in their
spunk. Hope we can go with them
to Elkhart next Friday and wish
that five or six hundred fans could
decide to do the same thing. It
would surely help the spirit of
these players on a foreign field.
At the half. Cleveland’s band
paraded and then the Corrigan
band (lid their stunts. They then
lined up in front of the visitors
facing home stands and with their
drums keeping time the local Home
Defense guard unit made a round

Following the Cleveand team

Bounds, Mr. and Mrs. Hinie Weeren
Mr. and Mrs. Earl Young ami Levy
Tanner. There were scores
others but these were the old tlm
ers that the writer was personally
acquainted with.
The Bounds family used to live
In Corrigan and would have pro-
bably rooted for their old home
town, but. having two regulars on
the Cleveland team. Ray and Billy,
they just had to line up with Cleve
land.
Mr. and Mrs. Weeren were along
to watch their boy, Jack, play Left
Guard. They were especially in
terested in the programs which
Here furnished by the Press for
this game. On the back of the pro.
gram we printed quite a few locals
from the Advocate of Oct. 15. 1920
The Fanchers owned the Cleveland
paper at that time.
Levy Tanner was here to see
ball game. He was in knee pants
and scrapping and playing ball
when we used to be In Cleveland.
Of course, Earl Young would
come to Polk County every chance
he gets. He and Clyde were raised
up in these woods and altho they
have been in Cleveland for almost
a century they still think of Polk
County every few minutes.
Rabbit Summers. Ed. Peebles and
Phinks Bohannon were the officials
of the game and of course every,
thing went off smooth. They pro.
bably did make some mistakes but
if there was any arguments if did
not come to our attention. Souk
one told us that Mr. Summers does
not inflict enough penalties, but. so
| long as the boys piny as they
should, we believe lie is absolutely
right in not penalizing for every
little thing.
The programs for the games
have been furnished first by Edens
Chevrolet Company, then the Cl i
zens State Bank. Edens Birch Lum-
ber Company and last week the
Press sponsored them. None of us
have felt that, this was extra good
advertising until Friday night. The
programs were not on hand when
the gates opened and many fans
inquired about them. Some even
went back to the ticket window to
ask. Tlie next heme game pro.
grams will bn sponsored by the
Sinclair agent, Mr. John Carter and
the last game by Sirman Drug.
CHESTER vs. KIRBYVILLE
AT CHESTER FRIDAY
The Chester Yellow Jackets will
be in the best physical condition
this year when they tangle with
Kirbyville’s Wildcats on the Chea-
ter gridiron Friday night at 7:45.
The Wildcats will outweigh the
Yellow Jackets about 12 pounds to
the man. The Yellow Jackets
however, will use the speed of Cur_
tis McKnight and Alton Foxworth
and plunging power of Bailey Me-
Common, one of the best backs
in District 26A, to overcome the bin
weight advantage.
Coach Green has been giving the
line special defensive plays to stop
Christian and Sheffield off tackle
slants that proved so effective
against Burkeville.
With Robert Rowe fully recover,
ed from a broken thumb, the Che*
ter team will be greatly strength
ened on defense. Richard Kelley

son, with his staff of teachers, has
worked very faithfully in the safe-
ty movement to make Corrigan a
safer and better place. We have

pie in our efforts, of which we are
not only proud but thankful.
A play on how to become good
Americans by learning our laws,
by a large number of school child,
ren, directed by one of the teachers
Liunie 13. Dawson, was enjoyed by
all.
Mr. Nelson Edens, who's support
of the safety movement has been
100 per cent, was present and as
usual gave us remarks of encou-
ragement.
Rev. Thomas appointed a group
of women to take charge and put
on the meeting next month. So we
are looking forward to a great time.
We invite all to come out and
learn our alms and see our pro-
grams.
