tured attraction*.
The Hereford Lion* and Ro-
tary Club*, threatened with evic-
tion for some week* now by the
church ladles who’ve been serv-
ing them, have found a haven
at the City Hall. Legionnaire*
and Firemen, who had prior
claim* to the Hall, concurred
in granting the service clubs
permission to share It. Now if
all the organization* needing a
meeting place would Just get to-
gether that way and pool their
fund* and effort*, Hereford
might eventually get • much-
needed community center.

an unimpressive start this sea-

majority of the score*.
Most teams in the district
have two games undsr their belt
now. In last week's play, only
the Canyon Eagles turned up
In the winner column, and their
victory was over an already
down-trodden Spearman team
which had taken a 40-8 shel-
lacking from Pumas the week
before. Canyon's mat gin was 39-
6, which doesn't prove anything
except that Canyon and Dumas
are probably on a par.
Tli* Dalhart Wolves, after
tying a Clayton, N. M,, team 7-
7 in the opener, went down 28-
8 before the perennially power-
ful Phillips Black-hawks, who
art definitely the class of Dis-
trict 2-A.

to score after two games, los-
ing thein opener to Morton 28-

against the weak Spearman
eleven, dropped a 28-0 shut-out
to Ferry ton last week.
Dlmmltt lost their opening
came to West Tsxas High 12
