Pictures in Dallas News
Tuesday’s Dallas News carried
a threo-column picture of the
Deport basket ball team, com
posed of Andrew Perkins. Bob
Head, Houston Short, Boyd
Reece, Jule Hood, John Webb,
Dillard Chappel. Jim Oliver and
Coach C. L. Ward. On the sport-
ing page was also a news item
with a Paris date line statin#
Mint Deport had won the county
championship by defeating Paris
by a score of 12 to 16. This
would make it appear that Paris
had lost the county championship
bv a close score, when as a mat-
ter of fact she was third in the
running and was decisively de-
feated twice by a rural school
that Deport later defeated by
the score of 17 to 56.
Cotton Ginning Report
The census department reports
that up to January 16, 29,013
bales of cotton were ginned in
Ijamar County, compared with
49,881 last season. In Red River
County the figures were 15,397,
against 27,895.
Road Controversy at Hugo
There is a light on road mat
ters now going on at Hugo ir
Choctaw County. There is
money to spend for roads. Some
people want a highway known as
the Bankhead, east and west,
thru the county, while others
want a road south of Hugo to
Arthur City on Red River,
which is a part of the Choctaw
Trail. Hugo merchants contend
that to build the Choctaw Trail
would injure their business, be
cause some of their trade would
-go to Paris over the toll bridge,
the stock of which is owned by
Paris and Hugo capital. Th**
Highway Commission of Okia
homa is for the Choctaw Trail
route, and these commissions
usually get what they want.
Entertains for Rebekahs
The expected has happened.
The Deport senior boys bas-
,ket ball team has won the cham-
pionship of Lamar County.
This was no great ttarprise to
the people of this community
who have Been the boys play.
Neither have they forgotten the
record hung up last year. This
honor came about by defeating
the Forrest Chapel dve at Paris
Thursday afternoon of last week
by a score of 56 to 17.
Preliminaries were held Fri-
day and Saturday, the 27 and 28
•—Deport, Forrest Chapel and
Paris winning all events in the
senior class. It was then decid-
ed to have Forest Chapel play
Parii and let Deport play the
winning team for championship
honors.^ Forest Chapel wanted
to play on an open court in God’s
air and sunshine,inhere all the
other games had been played,
but Paris insisted on a gymna-
sium court. The ruhrs provided
that, where one team was accus-
tomed to^an open court and the
other inside that three games be
played—one outdoors, the<oiher
indoors and a coin Hipped to de-
cide where the third game should
be played. Forest Chapel won
the first game outdoors and Paris
the second game on a gymna-
sium court, am] a coin was toss-
ed to decide where the third and
deciding game was to be played.
Forest Chapel won the toss,
chose the open court and defeat-
ed -Paris on Wednesday of last
week by a score of 27 to 16.
Next day the Paris News used
half a column of space to explain
the defeat of its home town hoys
and volunteered the information
that—
“Deport did ‘tolerably’ well in
class B and won three of the
four class championships; but
they are going against a tough
proposition when they tackle the
quintet from Forest Chapel.”
Mrs. Joe Grant and Mrs. Wm.
Larimore entertained members
of the local Rebekah Lodge at
the latter’s home Thursday of
last week. Following several
games of Forty-two, delicious
refreshments were served.
everything said above Is true.
We know those boys—we’ve seen
'em grow from toe-headed, spin-
dle shanked kids to Mvell-bnilt,
finely proportioned athletes, and
the team {hat beats them in the
district,bv-district or state cham-
pionship contest is going to be
as fleet-footed as a deer and as
accurate at shooting the goal as
a Tennessee mountaineer with a
long-barrel ripe.
The halved were of twenty
minute periods.
The line up for Deport: For-
wards, Read and Perkins,(cept.);
Guards, Hood and Short; Center,
Reece. For Forest Chape!: Gil-
liam, J., and Qaviness, Forwards;
Morrow and Haynes, Guards;
Center and captain, Gilliam.
Score at end of first period:
Deport 29; Fprest Chapel 17.
Goals for Deport: Read 7;
Hood 2; Short 5; Reece 8; Per-
kins 6.
Goals for Forest Chapel: Mor-
row 3; Gilliam 3; Haynes 1.
There remains three county
championship games to be play-
ed among senior girls and junior
boys and girls. Deport junior
girls are Out of the contest, hav-
ing been defeated in the prelim-
inaries by Petty instead of Pat-
tonville, as stated in last week’s
Tiijios, the score being close —
9-6. Any other laurels added to
Deport's crown will come thru
the senior girls and junior boys
next Saturday. Here’s wishing
them luck.

The quotation mark* are our
own. The sporting editor of
The News reasoned that a little
quintet from the forks of the
creek that could decisively de-
feat a big town like Paris with
more than 300 athletes from
which to pick a team, would wal-
lop the stuffing out of a rural
high school team picked from
less than fifty students.
Athletic “dope” is as uncer-
tain as Texas weather to the un-
initiated, and after the first five
minutes of play Deport had the
game on ice. To make amends
for the little consideration given
the Deport team’s ability as
quoted above, the News spread
itself in a write-up of the victor-
ious Deport players following
Thursdays game, from which we
quote:
“That Deport quint are of the
sort who may go far for they are
capable of playing basketball in
a style which is acceptable.
“In the game with Forrest
Chapel they worked as a machine,
welded together and functioning
as though controlled by cogs,
each player doing his part when
and how it should have been
done.
“The Deport team is by far
the most perfect basketball five
the writer has observed and
would do credit to an institution
of a much larger student body.
“The players are fine physical
specimens above the average in
height, well built in proportion
and as lithe and active as the
tiger cat. Their team play was
a revelation, their accuracy in
shooting the goals wonderful in
execution. They should be con-
tenders worthy of consideration
in the State championship for
boya of their age and rating.”

......Deport Basket Ball five de-
feated Paris at the gym court at
Pu> is Saturday night by a score
of 16 to 12. The game was very
unsatisfactory to Deport players
because Paris tried to turn it in-
to a football game. After the
first few minutes of play it was
apparent that Paris had deter-
mined to have the game and the
methods resorted to soon brought
to the surface the fast that De-
port would be oompelled to re-
taliate in kind if she expected to
hold her own. Although handi-
capped by playing under artifi-
cial light on a hardwood floor,
and sustaining many personal
fouls that the referee failed to
call, Deport hoys fought their
way to victory.
At the instigation of a number
of Deport friends, Rev. J. B.
Aubrey, former pastor of the<
lodfcl P.esbyterian Church,
who hue yeen on the Chautauqua
platform for the past ten years,
delivered two addressee at the
Deport High Sfthool auditorium'
Thursday of Oast week. His
lirst lecture was to the students
at 11 o’clock anl the last at 7:30
in the evening, when the public
was irtviteef to, hear him. There
was a very good audience pres-
ent, considering the amount of
publicity given, and his address
was along the lines of topn build-
ing and community cooperation.
He advanced theidea that tow ns
should not strive so much for an
increase in population, but
should make the most of their
opportunities; not be afraid to
assume obligations in the form
of bond issues and debts for
public improvements, especially
schools and the building of
churches.
He knocked the knocker and
the parasite, urged that forward-
looking citizens succeed in put-
ting over their town building
plans in spite of them, and to
leach the child home town loyalty
by setting a good example-.!
The address was sprinkled
with illustrations that dieve
home his arguments. He paid
high tribute to the school teach-
er aid the country newspaper
editor, and former friends and
parishioners who gathered
around him.to shake his hand at
the close of tiis discourse expres-
In
sed their delight at Hie things he
had said.
The Rev. Mr. Aubrey is a
splendid speaker and some of
his illustrations were so common-
place and homely that his ideas
thus expressed were driven home
with a force that caused them to
stick. While in Deport lie was a
guest in the homes of Dr. and
Mrs. J. II. Moore and Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Petty."
This interscholastic basket
hall district is composed of La-
mar, Fannin, Grayson, Cooke
and Collin Counties. If Deport
defeats the county champions in
this district—and there is no
reason to doubt that she will
—she won the district champion-
ship last year, she will be per-
mitted to participate in the by-
district contests, and if success-
ful there, wijl go to Dallas to con-
tend for state honors.
Doesn't sound anything like
the first paragraph we quoted,
does lit There was more of
tbe'aaina stuff, tut we know
The county basket hall cham-
pionship of Lamar and Fannin
Counties will be decided at Com-
merce Friday night,when Deport,
champions of Lamar, will meet
Leonard, champions of’Fannin
County. T! i < eleminating process
will be continued until the dis-
trict championship is decided,
followed by by-district contests.
Deport champions met Blos-
som at Paris Wednesday evening
and defeated them by a score ol
21 to 14. Deport was out played
in the first half, but in the second
realized it would take real hasket
ball to defeat Blossom, and she
got down to business. A feature
of the game was the goal pitch-
ing of Reece. L*ne up for De-
port: Foi wards, Read and Per-
kins; Center, Reece; Guards,
Webb and Short.

At a meeting of merchants,
professional men and citizens
held at the First State Bank
Tuesday morning, .the Deport
Community Club was re-organ-
ized. It was an interesting meet-
ing, full of pep and enthusiasm,
and plans will soon be under way
for things that are calculated to
improve financial conditions and
to make this a better community.
At this meeting the following
officers were elected: W. O.
White, president and W. E. Ve-
teto, secretary and treasurer.
By a vote of those present it was
decided to place does of business
firms at $1.00 per month and in-
dividual dues at 25 cents per
month. A membership com-
mittee composed of Roger Kel-
sey, E. G. Hutchings and J. M.
G’ant was appointed, and week-
ly meetings of the Club will be
held each Friday morning at 9
o’clock. Those interested in the
town and community are urged
to see this membership commit-
tee and give it their hearty sup-
port and co-operation.
Working Minter-Patton ville Road
•a
Commissioner George Terry
informs The Times that tiie chain
gang is doing some good work
cn the Pattonville-Minter road,
(’amp has been established at
Pattonville and this road will be
given a thorough working. There
are twenty-four men on the chain
gang with two guards—Guy
Teague and Tom Manuel. Eight
teams are used in places where
the big tractor and grader can-
not do good work. All culverts
and small bridges on this road
are being rebuilt with three-inch
oak flooring, sixteen feet wide.
This is a gray land road and
weather conditions will not be
permitted to interfer to any great
extent with the work. -There is
much traffic over tiiis road, and
it will require a mbnth to put it
in good condition.
The moonshiner’s life is to be
a little harder since internal
revenue agents announce they
will proceed to collect the tax on
this occupation. Properly will

money is not forthcoming.
