Chiefs vs. Owls
For 4-A Lead
Hale Center brings its Owl
football team -- which has been
tougher than a junkyard dog
this season -- to Crosbyton
for a game expected to have
a definite bearing on the Dis-
trict 4-A football championship.
The Owls are 7-0 for the
campaign and have demolished
two district foes. If that's not
enough, they are being eyed
by state pollsters.
But the Chieftains enter the
7:30 p.m. Friday clash only
a half game behind Hale Center.
WIN AT HOME
Owls have not tasted defeat
on the gridiron since late last
season. They trounced New
Deal 20-0 in the '72 finale
after the Lions already had iced
away the championship. Hale
Center swamped Spur 55-14
4-H Banquet
November 10
Crosby County 4-H
Achievement Banquet is sched-
uled for Saturday, Nov. 10 at
7:30 p.m. in Pioneer Memorial
Building in Crosbyton.
Award presentation to 4-H
members and adult leaders who
have won awards and recogni-
tion the past year will be the
highlight of the program.
SOME CALL IT EFFORT -- Ronald Wiley is halted inches
shy of the Petersburg goal by a Buffalo defender. Chieftains
scored on the next play to earn a 13-13 tie. The Tribe engages
unbeaten Hale Center here tomorrow night in a game matching
the District 4-A football leaders.

classing Petersburg 32-0 in the
toojo opener, both on their home
Tomorrow night's encounter
will be the district home opener
for the Chieftains, who beat
New Deal 19-13 and tied Pe-
tersburg 13-13 on the road.
Crosbyton was ahead 3-2 on
first downs, but the game will
enter the record books as one
half game won and one half
game lost unless the district
championship must be decided
by that game.
Coach Don Lawson expects
"a real physical match,"
tomorrow night, adding that
"breaks probably will decide
the game."
He notes that Hale Center
is loaded with "good, large
kids."
Halfback Lee Wilson, who
crossed the goalline three times
against Spur, and fullback
Jimmy Compton lead the awe-
some Owl attack. Compton
couples power with speed on
his 200 pound frame.
Lawson adds that Compton is
"a good second effort runner;
he pulls out of a lot of tackles.
1(1 Coaaty During Past 12 Moatks
The big fullback -- he actually
weighs about 210 -- has tre-
mendously strong legs."
Owls have "a pretty fair
passer."

Benny Marshall, a sturdy 190
pound tackle, end Tim Massey
and tackle Robin Cochran are
rugged linemen.
Both squads have a Freeman
at end. Gerald Freeman is
an Owl junior, and Roger Free-
man is a Chieftain captain.
COMMENDS PETERSBURG
The Chieftain mentor ex-
pressed "great admiration"
for the Petersburg players,
who "are loaded with
character.
"We had some bright spots,
and some not so bright,
Lawson commented in analyz-
ing last week's game, "it's
tough to thoroughly control the
statistics and still have to
settle for a tie."
Deposits Up $2.8 Million
He commended fullback
Brady Wheeler and tackle Jim
Parknill for playing the
"best game
: playing their
of the season.

A CATTY SITUATION
Arnal Fowler has cats in
abundance at his home just
east of town. But few of them
are "ordinary" felines.
Arnal and the mussus have
one mother cat with six toes
on every foot. She delivered
four kittens not long ago ...and
two of them also came equip-
ped with extra toes.
Then there is a sleek black
who "walks just like he's been
down to county line."
But that's not all the oddities
in the Fowler cat family.
Another mother, who "came up
here as a kitten," is a bob-
tail. Guess what? In a recent
litter were two bobtail babies.
The next batch was abnormal
by Fowler standards ... all
had five toes per foot and nor-
mal length tails!

SANTA GETTIN' HELP
Practically every South Plains
resident between the ages of
one and 81 has visited Santa-
land in Lubbock.
Crosbyton's "Sugarland" will
be prettier, although not as
large.
Young Homemakers and their
husbands already have spent
more than a few hours planning
and designing decorations for
"Sugarland.'9
This group is taking a great
deal of pride in the project.

Deposits at the three Crosby
County banks show an incredible
$2.8 million dollar increase
over the Fall '72 call.
Figures released this week
reveal $22,525,775.53 was on
deposit in the county as of
the Oct. 17 call, compared with

year.
The Oct. 17 call reflects little
income from the sale of fall
agricultural products.
Bank officials expect a
"substantial increase in de-
posits before Dec. 31."
Joe Cargile, executive vice
president of Citizens National
Bank anticipates that deposits
could well set an all-time
record for the Crosbyton bank.
Citizens National Bank shows
an increase in deposits from
55,313,763.11 in October '72 to
55,878,903.88 at the latest call.
Loans were up slightly from
|3,500,126.64 a year ago to
$3,517,593.14.
Deposits at Lorenzo State Bank
skyrocketed from $8,311,097.75
twelve months ago to $9,719,
612.69. Loans at that bank
moved up from $3,201,536.34
to $4,757,357.21.
Officials of Security State Bank
and Trust Co. in Ralls reveal
an increase in deposits from
$6,078,587.33 to $6,927,248.96

Texans To Decide Fate Of Nine Proposed Amendments Tuesday
Nine proposed amendments to
the state constitution face
Texans who vote next Tuesday
in a special election.
Proposed Amendment Number
One is attracting considerable
interest, although both state and
local official feel voter apathy
will result in "a low turnout. '
Wording of the first proposal
on the November 6 election as
it will appear
is as follows:
"T h e
amendment to
on the ballot
constitutional
provide for
annual regular sessions of the
legislature; and to provide an
annual salary of $15,000 and per
diem for the members of the
legislature, effective in Jan-
uary, 1975."
Texans previously have turned
thumbs down on raising legis-
lators' salaries. However a
number of influential organi-
zations and individuals are ad-
vocating approval of the amend-
ment. The state's top four
elected officials and Texas
Municipal League are among
backers.
NO CHANGE IN
VOTING SITES, YET
This will be the final election
in Crosby County with 11 voting
boxes. A new state law de-
manding at least 100 qualified
voters per box -- from the
previous number of 50--has
forced consolidation into six
boxes within the county begin-
ning in 1974, according to Judge
Robert Work.
However, "the new setup" will
not be in effect Tuesday. Crosby
