THE SHAMROCK TEXAN, Shamrock, Texas
Monday, November 4, 194M
BLOCKING BACK
a
Wheeler county young men are
doing a lot of needless worrying
about this draft. "What Is my order
number?” "When will the board
send out those questionnaires?”
“When do you suppose I will have
to leave?” Questions like those are
pouring into the office of the county
board at Wheeler and are being
asked everywhere you go.
The fact of the matter is, what
your order number is and regardless
of your perfect physical condition
and the fact that you have no earth-
ly reason why you shouldn’t be the
first one selected, the odds are about
1,000 to 1 you won't be included in
the first call on November 18. And
the chances are about 700 to 1 you
won’t be called for the next eight
months,
Texas has a very small quota be-
cause of heavy voluntary enlistments
and scores more are volunteering
every day. There Is no need to wor-
ry. And bear this in mind, you will
be notified every step of the way
through government channels. The
draft board will mail you a ques-
tionnaire if and when your order
number is called. You will then be
placed in one of the 13 different
classifications, a list of which ap-
pears in today’s Texan. If you are
placed in Class 1-A which means
immediately available for service, you
will again be notified by mail, this
time to take a physical examination.
Then, of course, if you pass you will
be notified when to appear for in-
ductmtnt into the army.
It is a long and drawn-out pro-
cess and it is confusing to most peo-
ple. Our advice is to calm down.
Read your newspapers and read
them carefully. Quit worrying.
Congratulation to the young boys
and girls of Shamrock for their good
manners on Hallowe’en night. They
acted like little gentlemen and la-
dies if we ever saw any and we want
them to know the whole town is
proud of them. Outside of a little
soap smearing on the windows of
business buildings you couldn’t tell
Friday morning there had been a
Hallowe’en the night before. The
kids all had some good clean fun
without resorting to destruction and
that is something you couldn’t say
a few years ago. We think it is a
wonderful reflection on their par-
ents and their teachers in the
schools.
Speaking of the teachers, W. C.
Perkins and his faculty are due a
world of credit for originating this
annual school Hallowe'en carnival.
They provide the children with
wholesome entertainment and thus
direct their minds away from the
rowdy stuff children used to do on
Hallowe’en night. School teachers
don’t get one tenth of the credit
they are entitled to.
We are so used to the various
utility companies asking us for mon-
ey that we thought nothing about
it when Shorty Hallmark approach-
ed us at the Rotary luncheon Fri-
day and asked us to give him a
dime. We imagined we owed him a
balance on our light bill which we
quite frequently do or some service
connection or something. Anyway it
was quite embarrassing when in ex-
change for our dime he handed us
a slip of paper containing some kind
of a crack about Hitler. We can’t
recall the exact wording but it was
sure silly and wasn’t worth a dime
to us so we took It over to J. O.
Stribling who has a high regard for
our honesty and integrity and asked
him to give us a dime which he did
and we handed him the slip. The
last time we saw the silly thing L.
E. DePew had it in his hands but
we are not worrying as it is the first
time we ever saw the Lone Star Gas
company come out on the little end
of a deal.
The biggest laugh of the week
was when we glanced on the back of
one of these little green football
\ cards whcih are so popular around
town and read this notation: "This
c^rd is to be used as news matter
only and as a trade stimulator. Not
to be used in violation of the law.”
We make so many mistakes here
at The Texan office that we got a
big kick out of the Shamrock Ro-
tary club paper last week when they
listed our attendance for the month
of October as 75 per cent. The truth
of the matter Is it was 100 per cent
perfect. Clayton Heare is the editor,
and we’re suing for libel, slander,
, actual and punitive.

(Continued from Page 1)
We got the bright Idea a week ago
to take a party to Dallas (our cred-
itors will please disregard) to see
the S. M. U.-Texas A. & M. game
on Nov. 9 and after inviting some
big shots including our mayor, dis-
covered ail the tickets down there
i sold for three or four
md the hotels had been
terback, was thrown for a 2-yard
loss, then the Pirates drew a 5-yard
penalty and on the next play Twigg
dropped back and shot a long pass
down the field and Montgomery,
playing the safety position for the
Irish, intercepted and returned to
the Pirate 18. On the next play,
Montgomery was thrown for a 3-
yard loss, Galbreath carried to the
18 but fumbled on the play and the
Pirates recovered to kill the threat.
Lefors Scores
Near the middle of the second
stanza, Galbreath kicked out on the
Pirate 21 from where the Lefors
crew scored in three plays. Twigg
picked up 5 yards in two tries at
the line, then Hughes dropped
back and rifled a long pns3 far down
the field to Earhart who took the
pigskin in full stride and carried
over the Irish goal untouched. Ear-
hart’s try for extra point was low.
The Irish came back strong in the
third period and after taking the
ball on the Pirate 49 on a kick from
the toe of Twigg, marched on
straight ground plays to the Pirate
2, only to lose the ball on downs.
Galbreath made 3, Montgomery
picked up 1, Sewell 5, Galbreath
failed to gain but the play was
called back and the Pirates assessed
5-yard penalty. Sewell picked up
Galbreath added 4 more and
Sewell went for 6, Rives made 3
Galbreath 1, Sewell added 5 and
Galbreath drove 2 to a first down
on the Pirate 10. Sims made 1, Sew-
ell added 5 and Galbreath added 2
but Rives was stopped at the line
of scrimmage on the fourth down.
Irish Out In Front
Twlgg’s kick out from behind his
own goal line only carried to his
27-yard marker from where the Ir-
ish took over and scored in two
plays. Sewell hit the line for no
gain and then Sims carried all the
way. Rives split the uprights with
his place kick for extra point, which
was the margin of victory In this
hard-fought battle.
When the ball game ended, the
Irish were on the Pirate 10-yard
line and going strong. This final
