Get out your winter gear,
lluecat banners and throat
lozenges and get ready for
Super Bowl I in 9-AA as the
"Cardiac Cats" meet the No. 2
ranked Comanche Indians Fri-
day night at Hufford Field.
Both teams are undefeated and
untied in district play with
identical 5-0 records so some-
thing "has got to give."
The Bluecats have victimized
seven opponents in a row in one
of the most exciting seasons of
football in Bluecat history.
Picked fourth by most district
"experts" during the pre-
season, the Cats have literally
“made them eat crow" week
after week.
Coach Tucker’s fighting blue
and white are coming off one of
the finest performances any
team has experienced in recent
years. If you didn't see Friday
night's cliff-hanger, then I urge
you to attend the Booster Club
meeting tonight (Tuesday) at
7:30 p.m. at Coleman South
Ward School to view the
highlights first hand. If what
you see doesn’t stimulate your

Swine flu shots will be given
here Friday, November 12, in a
free public health clinic at the
National Guard Armory, an-
nounces Patrick Hosch, co-
ordinator for Coleman County.
The vaccine will be given
from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
People 65 years of age and
older will receive the Bivalent
type of vaccine, while those 64
years and down to 18 will
receive the Monovalent type.
Shots will not be given to those
under 18 years of age.
Hosch urges that everyone
18 and older come to the
Armory on South Commercial
Friday for the vaccinations, in
order to be protected from this
strain of influenza.
Dr. M. D. Mann, City Health
Officer, also urges everyone in
the age groups listed above to
get the swine flu shots. He
points out that there is no more
reaction to these shots than to
other previous flu shots.
It is understood that the
vaccine will be administered
with the needle rather than
with the gun as used in some
places.

concerning the clinic Friday

Buckaroos 3-0. Coach Tucker reports

In Football Contest
Chalk this one up for the gals
at Overall-Morris Memorial
Hospital, because after last
Saturday’s results in the
newspaper's College Football
Contest two nurses at the
institution were all alone in the
first and second place positions.
The championship went to
Janet Horton, a nurses aide, as
she picked 17 winners in a very
tough contest. It was the first
prize ever for Miss Horton, who
is 32 years old and lives with
her father, Felix Horton, at 121
Columbus Street. She works
the late 11:00-7:00 shift at the
hospital.
Oddly enough, her close
friend, Mary Dell Anderson
was also all alone in second
place with 16 winners. She is a
LVN at the hospital and works
the same shift.
There was a five-way tie for
third place with 15 winners, but
Coleman insurance man Glenn
L. Hagler took the prize on the
basis of his choice for Arkansas
to beat Baylor 20 13 (19 points
off the actual 7-7 score). All the
others picked even higher
scores. They included Johnny
Todd, Connie and Mack Salas
and Jay Briggs.
Those in the 14 winner
bracket included Terry Jones,
