Jacksboro Tigers narrowed
District 2A-10 leadership to
two, Jacksboro and Henrietta,
last Friday by defeating Bos-
well 28 to 7 in what turned out
to be more of a ball game than
local fans had been expecting.
Halfback Mickey Fry had a
field night by scoring all four
touchdowns and kicking one ex-
tra point. But equal credit
should go to a hard charging
Tiger line that had a fine night
on defense as well as opening
holes for Fry.
Boswell quarterback Jimmy
Thompson got well acquainted
with Tiger end Kevin Owen and
other Purple linemen as they
dogged his steps to stop passes
and keeper end sweeps and
plunges. Owen and end Floyd
Colbert dumped Thompson 5
times to take away 33 yards
from the Boswell rushing total.
Jacksboro took a 2 touchdown
nam home were Mrs. Myrtie
Shawver and Mrs. Thelma
Hurst, Seymour and J.O. Shaw-
ver of Fort Worth.
Mr. and Mrs, Bill Estes,
Teresa and Debra Lynn of Ar-
tesia, New Mexico; Mr. and
Mrs, Jimmy Terrell and Brent
of Mineral Wells; Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd Bragg and Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Estes of Jacksboro were
visitors in the R. V. Jones home
this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Less Morrow
Mrs. W. W. Morrow, Mrs.
W. F. DeLong and Mrs. J. L.
Shawn attended the singing at
the Bible Baptist in Jacksboro
Friday night.
Mrs. W. F. DeLong visited

Absentee Voting
to End Nov. 1st
County Clerk Marvin Tilgh-
man is reminding new resi-
dents of the county that they
must vote in his officy by Fri-
day, November 1, if they wish
to participate in the coming
general election.
November 1 is also the last
day for absentee voting and for
lead in the first period but
a long touchdown pass from
Thompson to end Victor Dean
unnerved local fans until the
lead was Increased to 21 to 7
in the third period.
Fry put Jacksboro on the
scoreboard on the Tigers’first
play from scrimmage with a 69
yard run through right tackle.
The play was set up by a pass
interception by halfback, on
defense, John Johnson.
The Pioneers started the game
by keying on halfback Lee Dam-
ron, a speedster in running
and pass catching in earlier
games. Damron, still crip-
pled from a foot injury received
at Decatur, didn’t amass much
for personal statistics, but was
invaluable as a decoy.
A pass for the extra point
try went astray.
Late in the period Boswell
punted to the Tiger 10 and Fry,
aided by a good screen, ran
back the ball 90 yards for the
second score. Quarterback
Lanny Fleming ran the extra
points to make the score a safe,
it seemed then, 14 to 0.
A fumble recovery in the se-
cond period set up what
appeared to be another Tiger
march to score land but Bos-
well proved it also had a good
defensive line. The Tigers got
to the 6 but on fourth down
tried a field goal that was
blocked.
Later the Tigers got posses-
sion on Boswell’s 33 but apass
interception stopped that move.
Boswell came out with its
big move for the night after two
passes went incomplete. Half-
back John Wallis picked up 10
on a draw, Thompson passed
to end Victor Luedke for 13.
Then two plays later Luedke
outdistanced the Tiger de-
fender, caught a just right pass
from Thompson on the Tiger 20
and sailed in for the lone Bos- "H“w ,oon *
well score. The play covered
49 yards,
kicked the extra point.
Boswell turned to the airways
and aided by Tiger pass inter-
ference mounted a couple of
what appeared to be back in the
game drives. The last gave
out on 4th down on the Tiger 36.
The interference calls are cre-
dit to Boswell pass completions
and pass yardage in statistics.
Fry started the drive but full-
back Floyd Colbert did most
of the hard work to the Bos*
21. But as Boswell then k4
mi the fullback Fry went <
left tackle and into the clear
for that 21 to put the Tigers
out of Boswell’s reach.
Fleming kicked the extra point
and completed scoring for the
evening to make the board read
28 to 7.
End Jackie Graham broke up
Boswell’s last sustained of-
fensive interception and both
teams were about ready for
the clock to run out.
