Each member of tho local

as the big chance for evening things.
The first game scheduled after the Clar-

is the Crrt game on a two-year contract
between the two schools. Tho eleventh

Plainview on November tho 11th 1924.
Another big task confronts Payne's men
when they take tho field here at home on
November 16th against the University of
Dallas eleven. Coach Irylno has a lot of
good men from which to pick his eleven.
Last season the team was noted. for its
toughness and seldom was it defeated by
more than touchdown even if defeated
at all. Tho only game ever played be-
tween the two teams was won by the Dal-
lashes 20 to 0 in 1921. Thus there Is
another big chance to even up.
