(By Robin Hooper)
The first district game for
both the Timpson Bears and
the Center Roughriders will be
played here Friday night, Oct.
18, at 7:30 o'clock. Neither
team has been very impressive
in their warmup games) both
having lost to the strong Joa-
quin Rams. Timpson has one
victory over Tenaha, while
Center has defeated Arp. Re-
gardless of the merits of these
two teams you may look for-
ward to a real slam-bang,
spine-tingling performance
when the Bears and Riders tie
up in their annua] game.
The riders have a decided
edge over the Bears in games
wan and lost for the past sever-
al years and naturally they
are favorites to take this game,
but win, lose or draw, you can
depend on the Rears to be in
there fighting to avenge the
stinging defeat handed them
at Center last year.
