District Go
COOPER, DELTA COUNTY, TEXAS, TUESDAY, OCT. 14, 1935
VOLUME 54,
1 New Chief of Staff
I
There wan more PhD Shelton
fonn the* Cooper High School Bull-
dogs could handle and as a result
the Honey Grove Warriors pounded
out a SO to 0 victory Friday after-
noon in the first district contest
for both teams. The Redskins
pushed over five touchdowns but
failed to convert a slgnle extra
point.
Cooper looked good only at the
beginning of the game, forcing the
Warriers to kick after line plays
failed to gain. Behind the power-
ful blocking of the Robnett broth-
ers, Henson slipped off tackle for
Bulldog's only first down of
•first half. Other plays fizzled
then the Warriors march be-
gan.
Using Shelton at slants off tack-
le, Edwards running reverses and
Collard plunging through the mid-
dle of the line, the Warrior? drove
70 yards for their first marker nad
then a few minutes later made
their second In the same manner.
Wilson then sent in every second
stringer he had and they battled
the Honey Grove eleven to a stand-
still finally allowing a third touch-
down late in the second quarter.
The Warriors scored again in each
of the last two periods.
The Cooper offense was never
opened uptil the third stanza. R.
T>. Harvey took a long pass and
dashed 40 yards for a touchdown
but was called back when an of-
ficial ruled he had stepped out of
bounds. The Bulldogs took the
tall at that point and advanced it
to the Honey Grove 16 but were
piled up there.
Early in the final period the
Cooper line made their only de-
termined stand of the afternoon af-
ter the Warriors obtained a first
down on the six-yard stripe. Three
smashes through the line left only
a foot to go, but the Warrior sig-
nal barker made the mistake of
sending the play at Walter Chan-
ter and he downed Collard for a
jiort loss* to allow the ball to go
per.
r Although Cooper's showing was
dismal in view of the hopes held
for a closer game, the play of Cap-
tain Marshall Robnett, Ed Robnett,
Charlie Brock and R. D. Harvey
were bright spots in the contest.
Marshall Robnett played the best
game of his high school career,
looking best on the defense where
he handled better than 60 per cent
of the tackles. Ed Robnett played
a hustling game at the other line
hacker post while handling his
offensive duties well. Charlie Brock
shifting from offensive center to
defensive tackle played a game
that stamped him as a coming star
of the district next year. R. D.
Harvey, although handicapped by
injuries to both knees, looked good
at the end position, smashing
through several times to dump the
Warrior backs for losses.

The way is open now for State
revenue collectors to collect many
thousands of dollars of cigarette
taxes for the school children of
Texas which have been lost by
reason of Injunctions granted by
some district judges prohibiting
interference with racketeers who
have been hauling the cigarettes
across state lines and delivering
them in Texas without revenue
stamps, stated G. J. Cox, repre-
sentative of the State Treasurer’s
department, who with Mrs. Cox,
spent the week end with relatives
and friends in Cooper.
Judge Sarah T. Hughes, of Dad-
las, an Allred appointee, and an-
other judge of Fort Worth, have
given most of the Injunction pro-
tection to the racket, he said.
When attempts were made to con-
fiscate cigarettes sold in violation
of the law, only nominal fines were
imposed on the violators so that,
the cases could not be appealed.
Recently Judge Hughes imposed a
$25 fine and three days in jail
when an officer tried to prevent
an unlawful delivery. The jail sen-
tence gave the State the right
of appeal and Judge Hughes was
overruled on the right of the State
to collect the revenue.
A check showed that the offend-
er In question had defrauded the
state out of $200,000 revenue by
cigarette deliveries without reve-
nue stamps. The last shipment,
together with some trucks and
considerable cash was confiscated
i by the state.
