All Canadian mercnants who
have signed up to participate
in the "Appreciation Day" pro-
gram are asked to meet to-
morrow morning (Friday) at
10:30 o'clock at the «Canadian
City Auditorium to make final
plans for launching the series
of drawings. Any local mer-
chant who has not joined the
program but wants to do so is
invited to attend the meeting.
C- Secretary John Wilkinson
In spite of their dismal show-
ing this season (their only vic-
tory was in the season's opener
against the Groom Tigers) the
Bucks can be dangerous as they
proved two weeks ago when they
tossed a scare into the Welling-
ton Skyrockets before losing 20
to 19 . . . and they made just
about the best showing of any
district team to date in their
conference opener when they
held the Stinnett Rattlers to a
32 to 13 victory.
The Bucks were shut out on
successive week-ends, however,
by Panhandle (31 to 0) and Le-
fors <32 to 0), and lost last week
to the Memphis Cyclones 26 to 6.
The Canadian Wildcats hit the
win column last week for thj
first time in conference play by
defeating McLean 7 to 6, but
lost close games to Memphis (12
to 0), Wellington (12 to 0), and
Clarendon (26 to 20) in their
other conference encounters.
Coach Johnnp Cardinal's Wild-
cats will not be at top strength
tomorrow night, however, as in-
juries continue to plague th¿
team. Fullback Johnny Grist was
carried from the field at McLean
last Friday night with an in-
jured leg, and will not play
against the Bucks. John Briggs,
who was moved from backfield
to tackle earlier this season, may
be shifted back to the fullback
posl.
Garner Schoenhals re-injured
an ankle at McLean Friday
night, and while he is expected
to get into the game at White
Deer, may be handicapped by
(he old injury.
Other members of the Warn
have been plagued with minor
üisabilities during the past few
days, but barring iast-minute in-
juries, the line-up will probably
be little changed.
The White Deer Bucks, who
started the season with ten re-
luming lettermen from the 1954
squad, have failed to live up to
their pre-seasorf promise, but
have a fast backfield (including
speedster Jeiry Mills) and have
sported an effective passing at-
tack on occasions this season.

John Ramp Named
Player of Week
By News-Globe
Wildcat tackle John Ramp was
named yesterday by the Ama-
rillo Daily News • sportswriters
as Class A "Player of the Week"
for his second-half performance
at McLean in paving the way
for the Wildcats' winning touch-
down.
Ramp, who has been an out-
standing performer both offen-
sively and defensively in the
Wildcat line all season, was cited
by the Globe-News for his work
in opening holes in the McLean
line during the second-half of
last Friday night's game.
The six-foot 3-inch 190-pound
tackle is a senior this year, and
is earning his third football let-
ter with the Wildcat team.

Canadian Wildcats Hold Big Edge
Over Bucks in 9-Game Grid Series
Canadian's Wildcats and
White Deer's Bucks have clash-
ed on the gridiron nine times
in the past eight seasons . . .
and up to date, the Wildcats
have a big edge in victories
over the post-war seasons.
The last White Deer victor-
ies over the Wildcats were
scored during the 1948 and 1949
seasons, the Bucks winning 26
to 0 in '48 and 20 to 0 in '49.
The Wildcats had hung up a
19 to 7 victory in the 1947 sea-
son.
Beginning in 1950, when the
two teams met twice, the Ca-
nadian gridders have put to-
gether a string of six straight
victories. In the '50 season,
Wildcats and Bucks met first
in a non-conference set-to and
the Wildcats won 18 to 7. In
the second game that season,
with the district championship
at stake, Canadian won 20 to
13.
In 1951, the Wildcats ran ov-
er the Bucks 32 to 13, but 1952
was a different story . . . the
two teams battling to a 6-6 tie
in a raging blizzard at White
Deer, with the Wildcats win-
ning the nod on penetrations 2
to 1.
The Wildcats won again in
1953 by a 33 to 7 score, and
defeated the Bucks last year
20 to 6.
New Grid Loop Formed at
Lefors Meeting Last Night

handle high schools met at Le-1
fors Wednesday night to organ-
ize a new District 2-A for the
1956 football season.
Making up the revised district
will be Canadian, Lefors, Claren-
don, McLean and Memphis.
Other members of the present
District 1-A conference, with the
exception of Wellington which
will be moved up to Class AA,
will form a new District 1-A to
be composed of Panhandle, Stin-
nett and White Deer, plus two
teams moving up from Class B
ranks, Sunray and Gruver.
Supt. Nelson Freeman of Me- i
Lean was elected District Chair-
man for the new District 2-A,
and Claude Zevley, grade school j
principal at McLean, was elected ¡
secretary.
Conference football schedule |
for the 1956 season was com-
pleted, with conference play in
the new 5-team loop to begin on
October 19. Canadian will play
Lefors at Canadian on that date,
will be idle on October 26, meet
Clarendon at Clarendon on No-
vember 2, entertain McLean here
on November 9, and wind up the
season at Memphis on Novem-
'ber 16.
Six non-conference games will
be scheduled to complete the
season's slate. Two of these, with
Wheeler and Perryton, have al-
ready been tentatively sched-
uled.
Under terms of the new Inter-
scholastic League set-up which
goes into effect next fall, make-
up of the grid districts will be
"frozen" for two years, permit-
ting teams to enter two-year
home-and-home game contracts.

1956Edition oí "Beargrass" Will
Cover School Year Thru May
Canadian High School's 1956
edition of "Beargrass," the
high school annual, will cover
activities of an entire school
year . . . from the opening day
of school through next spring's
graduation ceremonies . . . for
the first time.
Copies of the yearbook will
be delivered to student-sub-
scribers at the opening of
school next September ... in-
stead of in the spring ... in
order to permit the Annual
staff to include a pictorial his-
tory of the entire school year.
The September-delivery plan
for the yearbook is being put
into effect this year for the
first time, and members of the
staff think students will like
the innovation. When the year-
book was issued before the
close of school, staff members
were forced to close the annual
in March in order to meet
printing schedules.
"Under the new plan," Mrs.
Maudaline Hutton, yearbook
sponsor, points out, "the staff
can include the important end-
of-school activities . . . such
as graduation exercisies, pres-
entation of the Liske Cup, and
other important events of the
school year ... for the first
time."
Orders are being taken now
from students . . . and from
others who would like to have
a copy of the book ... at $3
per copy. All orders must be
made by November, and the
"Beargrass" staff is winding
up its annual subscription
drive now.
A special booth at the Carni-
val Saturday night will fea-
ture old editions of "Bear-
grass." and members of the
staff will be on hand to take
orders for the 1956 edition.
Editor of the 1956 "Bear-
grass" is Nona Dale Snyder,
with Delores Hornback as busi-
ness manager; Malouf Abra-
ham jr. as photographer; and
Frederica Ellis and Andrea
Jackson as assistants.

dian City Auditorium at 6 o'-
clock Saturday evening for the
annual Canadian School Hal-
lowe'en Carnival, which is

ival will be 30 cents for students
and 15 cents for adults. The gen-
eral public is invited.
Two Food Booths sponsored by
Baker school classes will pro-
vide sandwiches, hot dogs, hot
and cold drinks, and pie and
cake for Carnival visitors who
want to have supper at the Carn-
ival.
One booth arranged by room
mothers of the first and second
grade students will feature hot
dogs, sandwiches and cold
drinks; .and another, sponsored
by the room mothers of grades 3
through 6 will serve sandwiches
and coffee, pie and cake.
The carnival will feature the
traditional array of games and
concessions sponsored by various
high school and Junior High
classes and organizations. The
charge for most events, accord-
ing to Mrs. Maudaline Hutton,
sponsor of the Annual staff, will
be ten cents.
The Student Council will be in
charge of the popcorn conces-
sion, and will also operate a
"change booth" as a free service
to Carnival patrons.
Fish Pond and Grab Bag con-
cessions will be in charge of the
