in advertising the Big Lake Fifth
Annual Tournament.
If the plans of Blondy Cross and
Tony Slaughter do not fall through
the Owls will have their picture
used In connection with the full
page ad of the San Angelo Morn-
ing Tlmos, providing the mer-
chants of Reagan County respond
by contributing ads, as they did
last year.
The full page ad last year at-
tracted section wide attention; it
is the best medium for advertis-
ing our tournament.
The Big Lake Oil Company and
Merchants Of Reagan County were
liberal and ready to cooperate last
year.
This is a good way of showing
support for the school. When the
men approach the Merchants for
the ads, here’s hoping that they
respond so readily that 80,000 West
Texuns will again get to see such
as White. Gamblll, Olover, Cole-

Owl Feathers
The Owls and the Bobcats ran
true to form last week-end. For
the last three years the Cats win
the first game and Big Lake takes
the second.
Rumor has it that the seniors
and Juniors that are not on the
cage squad might play a grudge
game one of those warm, sunshiny
days.
The Owlets came out on top of
a fast battle with the fair dam-
sels from Barnhart Friday night
in the loon! gym. The little girls
hit the hoop for 22 points to Barn-
harts 11, Soapy Holland and Lu-
cille Clements were outstanding
players for Big Lake.
