be.
Motorists Warned
Of Illegal School
Bus Passing
The Texas Department of Public
Safety announced an intensified
enforcement program against mo-
torist who illegally pass a school
bus stopped to take on or discharge
children.
Major Guy Smith, commander
of the Northeast Texas Region of
the DPS, warned motorist that pa-
trolmen would issue arrest cita-
tions for this violation.
“The law is very clear as to a
driver’s responsibility,” Smith said.
“It requires the driver of any ve-
hicle. upon meeting or overtaking
from either direction, any school
bus which has stopped on the high-
way for the purpose of receiving
or discharging any school children,
to stop the vehicle immediately be-
fore passing the school bus. After
stopping, the driver may then pro-
ceed past the bus at a speed which
is prudent and not in excess of 10
miles per hour. Even then, the
driver must use due caution for the
safety of the children.” The statu-
tory fine, as prescribed by law for
violation of this act, is one dollar
to $200. plus cost of court.
“During the first six months of
this year, Texas had six children
killed and 10 injured in accidents
involving school buses,” stated the
Major. “This is tragic and use-
less. School buses are plainly
marked and motorist know that
they carry only one cargo.”
Single Wing Offer
Mt Vernon’s victory-happy Tig-
ers rolled to their first regional
game since 1950 when they down-
ed the Hawkins Hawks 38-6 last
Friday night. The Tigers will meet
the Honey Grove Warriors in Paris
Junior College’s Noyes stadium at
Paris Thanksgiving Day
p. m.
Tickets for the game
sale in Mt. Vernon at
Drug Store and the Superintend-
ent’s Office at the High School and
Honey Grove Monday with pre-sale
general admission tickets for adults
$1.00 and pre-sale students tickets
50 cents. Tickets at the gate will
be $1.25 for adults and 75 cents for
students. No reserved seat tickets
will be sold. Pre-sale ends in Mt.
Vernon when Crescent Drug Store
closes Wednesday night.
Officials of the two schools met
in Sulphur Springs Sunday after-
noon and made arrangements for
the game. Such arrangements are
usually made on Saturday but the
automobile accident which cost the
life of one Forney football player,
and injured three others, resulted
in the calling off of the Forney-
Honey Grove bl-district game and
a forfeiture by Forney on Satur-
day. A flip of the coin named Mt.
Vernon as home team. Interscho-
lastic League rules require that
one of the schools in a palyoff
game must be designated as the
home team. Pep rally was held at
the high school Wednesday at 10:45
a. m.
Mt. Vernon football fans will
have the privilege of seeing one of
the few football teams left that
runs from a single-wing formation.
Coach James H. (Cotton) Martin
says his team uses the formation
exclusively and he hopes to show
Mt. Vernon fans that it will work.
Honey Grove will be one of the
first teams the Tigers have met this
vear with a line that anywhere
nears their ^weight. The listed
starting lineup will average 171
pounds to the man but Coach Mar-
tin says that End Billy Maroney is
now ready for action after missing
most of the season with a broken
arm. He weighs 170 pounds and
will bring the line average to 176
pounds or two pounds more per
man than the Tiger line.
The Warrior backfield averages
156 pounds to the man which com-
the Tigers are playing their *•»
gional playoff game with Honey
Grove Thursday, at 2:00 p. m., at
Noyes Stadium In Paris.
All members are urged to be
present. ■ , ■

We learned that SCOTT LEWIS,
ML Vernon band director, got even
with Sheriff J. E. TITTLE for a
prank played oil him by Tittle and
several other pranksters shortly
after he came to Mt. V«mon wt$h
his bride in August. See# and bls
bride were at the Jersey Queen and
Tittle took up a collection to help
him pay for his order, since Scott ;
didn’t have enough money to pay
bliAself out.
Scott caught Tittle at Miller 1
Cafe a short time ago and told him 1
that he had just learned a new
trick and told Tittle to place his
hands on the table palm down. Tit-
tle did and Lewis placed a glass
of, water on top of each hand and
tojd those with him to come on and
let’s go. They did and left Tittle
wfth the two glasses of water sit-
ting on top of his hands.
J. B. LOWRY thought it was a
good trick so on Tuesday he pull-
’ ed the same thing on CAROL
JACOBS, a waitress at Alp Cafe,
and left her standing at the count-
er'in the same shape.
Later In the day, BOBBY
BROWN, a salesman for Mt. Pleas-
ant Service Parts, was the victim,
and he decided he could get them
off by lifting one hand up with the
glass on it and pick up the one on
top of the other hand. As a result
both glasses were spilled and most
of It went right down his front. The
last time we saw him he was sit-
ting In front of the fire drying.

Thirteen plays later, with Jobe car-
rying on eight of them, he scored

right guard. The halftime score
was Tigers 14, Hawks 6.
Edwards took the Hawks’ kickoff
on his own 30 and carried out to
his own 41.
a 15-yard
Hawks saw Jobe
from the 6-inch line to score,
pies hit End Lanny Ramsay for the
two extra points.
Late in the period Maples recov-
ered a Hawk fumble on his own 48-
vard line. Fourteen plays later and
early in the fourth period, Maples
sneaked over center from the two-
yard line to score. Zachary went
aver right tackle for the two extra
pointp.
Following the kickoff the Hawks
were forced to punt but an alert
Mike Edwards blocked it with Mc-
Millen recovering for the Tigers on
the Hawk 31. Oftoe iflays later
Zachary cut over right guard for 24
yards to score. Edwards went over
right tackle for the two extra
points.
The game ended with the ball in
The Mt. Vernon Tigers’ power
and weight was too much for the
Hawkins Hawks who fell last Fri-
day night in bi-district play to the
crushing ground game of the Tig-
ers 38-6 before an overflow crowd
at Hawkins.
The lighter Hawks made it a nip
and tuck affair for the first half
but the weight of the heavier Tig-
ers wore them down and the sec-
ond half belonged to the Tigers all
the way.
Halfback Larry Jobe was the
power runner for the Tigers and
his amazing 152 yards rushing in
29 carries gave him an average per
carry of 5.1 yards. Jobe scored
three of the Tiger touchdowns.
Defensive Guard Gilbert McMil-
len was the Tigers’ most outstand-
ing defensive man with eight tack-
les, one assist and recovered a
Hawk punt which had been block-
ed by Mike Edwards. Close behind
him was Mike Edwards with seven
tackles and four assists; Glenn Hol-
loway, seven tackles, three assists;
and Jim Stinson, six tackles, two
assists and a blocked punt which
was recovered by Rhodney Dun-
can.
Quarterback Bobby Maples was
at his passing best but he limited
his throws to six, completing five
of them for 37 yards.
The game was as close as one
would wish until deep in the first
quarter when End Jim Stinson
blocked End Leland Marsh’s punt
and it was recovered by Tackle
Rhodney Duncan on the Hawk 45.
Six plays later, which included a
20-yard run by Jobe and a 15-yard
penalty against the Hawks, saw
Jobe go over right tackle from the
two-yard line to score. Maples
passed to Edwards for the two ex-
tra points.
The lone Hawk score came early
in the second quarter when Marsh’s
punt from his own 48-yard line
rolled dead on the Tiger one-yard
line. Maples was forced to punt
from his own 27. Halfback Glenn
Jackson took the ball on his own
35, returning to his own 46. Three
plays later Back Charles Welch
broke loose from the Tiger 45 to
score.
Halfback Jimmy Zachary took
Tackle James Medlin’s kickoff on
his own 10 and returned to his
own 35 before being brought down.
