It's the big game of the year
Friday night for Seminole's In-
dians—their match with mighty
Andrews, among the .very, best of
class AAA teams in Texas
The powerful Mustangs, favor-
ed to capture the District 2-AAA
title when the season began, have
done nothing to disprove this
ranking. In fact, the Mustangs
have turned into an even strong-
er team that was expected.
Andrews has powered to six
j straight victories so far this sea- j
I son, and with chief rival Hermit!
j disposed Of. the Ponies are in j
clear command of the district
| race. The Andrews victories in-
clude a 10-8 opener over strong
; Snyder. 26-0 over Lamesa, 29-ti
over Brownfield. 30-0 over Hobbs,
19-6 over Hermit and last: week's
j 58-0 stomping of Port Stockton.
A cily-wide pep rally for the
Seminole Indians will be held
tonight at 6 o'clock on the east
side of the courthouse square.
All SIIS students and the sener-
al puhlic are invited.
On the other side of the ledger.,
j Seminole has a rather unimpres-
sive mark of two wins, four loss-
i os. and a tie. But in all seven
games, the Indians have come out
| on top in total Offense.
The Tribesmen were rated a
flat last in the district before the
! season began, but Seminole's de-
[ Tensive work plus an offense grow-
ing stronger by the week has
boosted its stock considerably.
Seminole is in the lower half of
district standings, but opposing
schools are well aware of the In-
dians' capabilities.
Andrews' style of play is snm-
mprf up in one word—power: The
Ponies have a fond liking for
head-on. slam-bang football both
on offense and defense. With a
stable full of hard-running backs,
the Mustangs usually control the
ball exceedingly well. Their pass-
