THE COMA
Comanche County voters
are expected to turnout in
heavier than usual numbers
for the TUesday, November 8,
general election.
A hotly contested gover-
nor’s race and other close
statewide offices indicates an
above normal turnout for a
non-presidental election year.
Betty Conway, County Clerk,
reports that as of noon Tues-
day 822 had voted early. She
says this is a very heavy early
voter turnout. Early voting
will end at 5:00 on Friday,
November 3rd.
Bolls will open on TUesday,
November 8, at 7:00 a.m.
and remain open to 7:00 p.m.
There will be 16 polling places >
in Comanche County. Polling
locations are:
Comanche, Pct.81, Box fl,

Indian coach Ronnie Clifton
says that Ballinger is one of
the premier teams in the state.
“They are well coached and
they make very few mistakes."
Coach Clifton says that the
Indians will bounce back from
their disappointing loss to
Wylie last week. "We are play-
ing for the district champi-
onship and our team is ready
for the challenge.”
Coach Clifton states, "It will
take a huge effort by our team,
but we are capable and expect
that kind of effort from the
Indians.”
Comanche is 7-2 on the
season and 5-1 in district play.
A victory or tie would put the
Indians back in the playoffs
for the first time since 1991.
Support the Indians this
Friday. Game time is 7:30.

The Comanche Indians will
be battling for a district cham-
pionship and a playoff spot
when they host the undefeated
and state ranked Ballinger
Bearcats this Friday night in
Indian Stadium. Kickoff is at
7:30.
A victory over Ballinger
would give the Indians the
number one playoff spot and a
bi-district contest against the
number two finisher in Dis-
trict 6-3A. A loss to Ballinger
would knock Comanche out of
the playoff picture if Wylie
defeats Coleman on Friday.
If Wylie loses their game or
Comanche ties Ballinger Co-
manche makes the playoff as
the number two team.
Ballinger enters Friday’s
contest as the seventh place
state-ranked team. They are
a tremendous offensive threat,
averaging over 41 points per
contest. In their three pre- INDIANo

The Bearcats feature two

yards per carry and each total
well over 1,500 rushing yards
despite very limited play be-
cause of their lopsided win.
Quarterback Alan Wilson

Ken Lunsford, Tbxas Parks
and Wildlife game warden
for Comanche County, reminds
landowners and sportsmen
that the 1994 general deer
hunting season in Comanche
County will get underway Sat-
urday and run through Jan-
uary 1.
Lunsford says - that deer
prospects look good for Co-
manche County. He said that
buck horn development got
off to a slow start with the
dry early spring but the wet
late spring and summer have
helped horn production.
Lunsford said that the acorn
crop is spotty and in areas
where acorns are in good sup-
ply hunting will be consider-
ably more difficult.
Recommended doe harvest
for Comanche County is one
doe per 150 acres. It is
stressed that harvest recom-
mendations are very general.
Deer densities may vary great-
' ly in a given area, even be-
tween adjoining ranches.
A ranch which is over-
stocked, overgrazed i
overhunted will not support as
many deer as a well-managed
ranch where selective harvest
- is practiced.
