Dudley Bros. Hereford Sale
Set For Wednesday, Dow. 8

TOM, (JAIL AND ELTOS DUDLEY
Dudley Bros 6th annual
Hereford Bull Sale will be,held
at the Dudley ranch on Wed-
nesday, November 8 Again
buyers from several states will
be on hand for the sale.
The Dudley Bros,—Gail. Tom
and EJltos—registered Hereford
breeders since 1930, plan to
auction off at their Wednesday
sale 110 registered bulls, i_
Walter Briiten and Bert
Reyes will be the auctioneers.
The DB Ranch is one of the
largest producers of range
bulls in the whole Southwest,
and this is their sixth annual
sale. They have long produced
useful cattle for ranchers in
both Comanche and Runnells
counties.
The Comanche ranch, locat-
ed on U. S. Highway 67 and 377
is 2 miles west of Comanche.
It has one of the largest herds
of top quality registered Here-
fords in the nation and has al-
so maintained an outstanding
commercial herd. The entire
herd is on the American Here-
ford Association Total Per-
formance Program.
“We think you will note con-
tinued improvement in this set
of bulls—with more top bulls,"
say the Dudleys. “They will
not be washed or brushed, but
wHl come into the sale ring
just as we raise them in the
pasture. We believe this condi-
tion for buying bulls is the best
because you can see them as
they really are, and we think
the bulls can hold their owm
any where.”
The Dudleys have acquired a
nation-wide reputation for their
herd of show cattle, and have
been consistent winners at
leading shows including Den-
ver, Kansas City, Fhoenix, Abi-
lene, Fort Worth, Albuquerque,
Memphis, Tulsa, Omaha, Little
Rock, Amarillo, Tyler and oth-
ers.
“Come and look at these
bulls any time before or on
sale day, and we invite you to
be with us on Sale Day, No-
vember 8,” conclude Gail, Tom
and Eltos,

The forecast is for a cool
evening and no rain -and that
is just what the Indians need-
no rains The Pirate attack is
headed by an outstanding foot-
ball player named George
Rains, who is just about the
whole Granbury offense.
Rains is the leading scorer
and ground gainer in the dis-
trict, and gained over 200
yards against Eastland a cou-
ple of weeks ago — As (tains
goes.....so go the Pirates
However Rains has tremen-
dous help especially with the
huge line in front. The lighest
man in the Pirates front wall
is 180 pounds and the heaviest
tops the scale at 230. ami aver-
ages 199 pounds per„ man
The backfield for the Pirates
is no lightweight itself, as
Rains, who is a speedster,
weighs in at 170. and P a t

The Pirates have only lost
one game this season, that an
early 7-0 defeat to Burleson.
