Business People Say Teachers
Can't Spell Down Anybody and
Demand That Texan Apologize
A bold attempt on the part of a
Texan reporter to uphold the liter-
ary reputation of the Shamrock
teaching profession by stating In a
write-up that Mrs. B. F. Rlsinger
correctly spelled, “Portentous," In the
recent P. T. A. bee, has failed.
Mrs. Rlsinger spelled "Portentl-
ous,” Just like everybody else except
those who put an "e” In the last
syllable Instead of an “L" The news-
paper Is convinced of this, after a
loud and lengthly storm of protest
from business and professional peo-
ple who are of the opinion teachers
are no smarter than anybody else.
A. M. HUburn, himself a teacher
was the enuclator (7) at the P. T.
A. bee. He was $ulck to rally to the
aid of S. A. Rlbble and Mrs. Risin-
ger, both teachers, and who were the
last to go down In the marathon.
Hilburn said he made a slight mis-
take In the pronunciation of the
word when he gave It to the two
teachers. He said tie pronounced It
“portentious,” instead of “porten-
tous," and that in all probability
that is why the two teachers missed
it.
Others who were tripped on the
word stated emphatically HUburn
pronounced the word, “portentious,"
to them and then after aU had gone
down except two teachers he pro-
nounced it correctly as “portentous,’
and that even then they couldn't
spell it.
Anyway the Texan gladly retracts
to every speller offended. We still
think the teachers are the best speU-
ers, and wUl gladly sponsor a teach-
ers’ team against any other profes-
sion or business, or combined
|ree other brothers, Jack, Ma-
, Jr., and Hugh Cantrell, make

IN DISTRICT WITH
WIN OVER ROCKETS
SMASH WELLINGTON ELEVEN
20-0 IN HARD FOUGHT
CONFERENCE TILT
Demonstrating their usual good
gridiron ability throughout the four
hard-fought periods, making the aid
of substitutions unnecessary, the Ir-
ishmen smashed the Wellington Sky-
rockets here Friday night 20-0 to
retain the lead In district 2, class B
football.
With the shifty backficld working
behind the stalwart line, the locals
marched down the field at various
times during the game, applying
speed and power to attacks which
the Invaders found impossible to
stop. Making use of their entire
store of tricks, the Irish eleven took
10 first downs to the Skyrockets’
seven, and ran up a total of 172
yards in scrimmage to their oppo-
nents’ 69.
The Irishmen started their scor-
ing early in the second quarter by
opening up with an aerial attack
with A. Shewmaker flipping a 15-
yard pass to McIntyre, who raced
40 yards across the final white stripe
in the sensational play of the eve-
ning. A pass for extra point failed.
After an exchange of punts in mid
field, Shamrock received the ball on
Wellington's 18-yard line. Blake
picked up four yards, and Fields was
good for 12 more, placing the ball
on the two-yard mark. Shewmak-
er went over for the second counter.
The ball went back to the three-
yard line, and A. Shewmaker, un-
able to locate a receiver for his pass,
went through center for the extra
point.
Wellington made their only seri-
ous threat In the third quarter, aft-
er receiving the ball on a Shamrock
fumble on their 35-yard line. A first
down was knocked off by the visit-
ors, and a pass from Wood to Glenn
