Bulldogs Lose to
Naples 25-13
By BOB MISTELE
The green grass failed to ma-
terialize for the Bulldogs Friday
night and as a result they were
forced to come home on the short
end of a 25-13 score. And aU in
all, the results might have been
different had the Bulldogs not
gone to sleep in the early mo-
ments of the game, and allowed
the Naples team to ring up three
touchdowns in the first three
lUtes of the game. From that
on it was dog eat dog and
Bulldogs put on a scoring
spurt of their own by racking
up 18 points in five minutes of
the second period.
After their early mistakes the
Bulldogs stopped the running at-
tack Of the big Buffaloes cold for
the. rest of the ball game, and
were actually savage in their
tackling but the damage had been
done. After aU you can’t give
away 19 points, play the entire
game with 11 men, and be out-
weighed 20 pounds to the man
and expect to come home a win-
ner. It Just isn’t being done.
The fact that the Bulldogs were
defeated may be all wrapped up
in the name of one boy, Buch-
anan. He scored three touch-
downs and two of them were in
the first three minutes of the
ball game. He took the operrtng
kickoff and went 80 yards for a
touchdown and later went around
his own left end for 35 yards and
another touchdown.
The Bulldogs scores came about
the hard running of Frank
^Bibblefield and the wide driv-
blasts of Wayne Williams.
Both of these boys were really
lugging that ball all night long.-
Stubblefield scored the first
touchdown from the ten and Wil-
liams scored the second on an
end sweep. -
One bright spot in the Bulldog
play was.Randall Eudy, a boy
who had never played a game be-
fore in his life. He is only a
freshman and played a great
game. He recovered a fumble and
he was tackling hard and sure
as weU. We should hear a lot
from Big Rgd before he finishes
high school.
The Bulldogs have lost the ser-
vices of two players, Gerald King
and Morris Marcum, for the re-
^fcinder of the season as they
^Hh have leg injuries. They
Beth played end and will be a
definite loss to the team, but
Randall Eudy should fill in fine
for the two injured boy%.
This week the Bulldogs go to
Leonard, the team that beat the
BuUdogs so badly last year. This
time it will be different and a
real ball game is in store for all
who attend. Next week it is
Daingerfield and following that
comes Deport, the game we have
all been waiting for. This time
we plan to be ready for them and
we’re not letting their sob stor-
ies throw us off the track. We
have 11 players; they have 20.
All we want is the chance to
avenge last year’s defeat at their
hands. We may not win but that
is the game the Bulldogs are de-
finitely trying to win and that is
the game that the Bulldogs are
laying their plans for.
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Blake at-
jhded the funeral of W. R.
smith, held at Saltillo Monday.

Eighty Million $
Surplus Will be
Self-Liquidating
A furious Texas Legislative
“Battle of the Millions’’ is shap-
ing up, come next January, in
the opinion of Curtis Morris, dir-
ector of the Tax Department of
the East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce.
After analyzing requests of the
various State agencies for the
next biennium Mr. Morris finds
the highest asking in the Educa-
tional budget. This embraces the
19 state colleges and 14 other re-
lated agencies. They have ask-
ed for $50,048,000 for the first
year; $44,072,000 for the second
year. This is a 107 per cent in-
crease over appropriations this
biennium.
The 52 state agencies that are
put in the Departmental Appro-
priation Bill have asked for about
$30,000,000 the first year; $27,-
750.000 for the second year of the
next biennium. ThS is a hike
of 35 per cent.
Twenty-five eleemosynary in-
stitutions say they must have
$28,500,000 the first'year and $17,-
250.000 the second year in the
next spending -period. Here’s an
increase of 67 per cent.
State support of Texas free
public schools, now running over
$100,000,000 a year, is expected
to increase steeply before the
next Legislature gets through.
The Giltner-Aikin Committee re-
port indicates that a 40 per cent
increase in this class of spending
is needed.
Old age pensions, together
with aid to the needy blind and
aid to dependent' children, cur-
rently are limited by the Consti-
tution to $35,000,000 a year. If
this ceiling holds there will be
no increase in this explosive
category.
State highway spending is
geared to Highway Department
income. It ran $104,303,000 for
the fiscal year ended August 31,
1948.
“The State General Fund sur-
plus of perhaps $80,000,000 will
be self-liquidating,” Mr. Morris
commented wryly, “if all spend-
ing requests are met.”

One Killed, One
Hurt in Bridge
Crash at Brushy
Oscar Thomas Baird, 20 years
old, of Boxelder, died in St. Jos-
eph’s Hospital about two hours
after his car crashed into Brushy
creek bridge on Hiway 271, west
of Deport about 3 o’clock Satur-
day morning. He apparently fell
asleep at the wheel. He was the
tenth person killed in Lamar
County traffic accidents thus far
this year.
Attendants at the hospital re-
ported that Austin L. McKenzie,
21 years old, of Tennessee Col-
ony, Anderson County, the only
other passenger in the car, was
badly hurt.
Both men were members of a
Southwestern Bell Telephone
constrruction crew now stationed
in Paris and stringing telephone
lines to Mt. Pleasant.
The accident apparently occur-
red as Biard and McKenzie were
returning to Paris after taking
two girl companions home.
State Highway Patrolmen Ross
Kemp and Robert Ashmore in-
vestigated the accident. They
said the car was traveling toward
Paris and had crossed the oppo-
site side of the highway before
striking the Brushy Creek bridge.
The car was virtually demolish-
ed, the officers said. An ambu-
lance from Paris was called to
the scene to take the men to the
hospital.
Deceased was the son of Alvin
and Mildred Floyd Baird. Sur-
viving besides his parents are
these brothers and sisters: Alvin
Blain, Jack Weldon, Opal Fern,
Frances Sue, Nelda Ann and Jan
