Reason for the seriousness b

man are teeing endanrrrrd. For
the nicest part, the' poison (strych-

Russ does not reveal his strategy
but it Is expected that the Cats will
throw plenty of passes. Tommie
White' has developed into one of
the best passers ever seen in this
district and he has several stellar
receivers. Frank Wise and Billy
Clifford catch the bulk of White’s
passes. It was passes tliat, secured
Coleman's win over Brady lag*
week.
The Coleman line is expected to
play a major role in the annual
Bluecat-Mountaineer classic. The
Cats outweigh the Santa Anna boys
a few pounds per man and seem
mentally and physically ready for
this game Ope or two members
of the forward wall had ailments
last week that prevented them from
playing their best game against
Brady, but they will be ready this
time.
If the Bluecats wfn the district
championship they will probably
play Deljeon for bi-district. The M-
dlstrtct game must be played before
December 7, so it is expected that
the game would be played the fol-
lowing weekend.
DeLeon has a small seating ca-
pacity ln their stadium so local of-
ficials will make an effort jo
have Uie game played ln Coleman;
however, that all remains to be
worked out, if the Bluecats defeat
Santa Anna, or in the event they
lose to Santa Anna, if they are
selected by a district committee to
represent the district.
DeLeon,has a strong team. Com-
parative scores show them to be
Just as strong of stronger than the
Bluecats. Most likely members at
the athletic associations of DeLeon
and Coleman will meet this week-
end to make definite plans for the
game.

President Truman has released another seventy
million dollars for public works construction, and it is
possible that llords Creek Project may be included in
those to receive the money.
Congressman O. C. Fisher is greatly encouraged
over possibilities. He was in touch with the Chief of
Army Engineers office In Washington. D. C. this morn-
ing. and reports that they advised him to call back on
Monday, and that they might be able to give him def-
inite information at that time.
Fisher states that In the meanwhile both the
Washington office of engineers and himself will be in
contact with Col. Henry Hutchings, Jr., chief of the
Southwestern Division of Army Engineers,
There is a possibility that ail the money may
go to projects already under construction, but local
city officials and Congressman Fisher both feel that
they cannot fail to include the Coleman project this
time.
