Wildcats Lose To Tigers 20-0;
Seek First Win At Newcastle
by Keith Blalock
The outweighed Archer City
Wildcats made an excellent show-
ing against Jacksboro Friday nite
before going down to a ,20 - 0 de-
feat. One of the most electrifying
runs seen on the Archer City turf
in many a day by an Archer City
boy, was unreeled in the second
quarter by little Jimmy Peirce, on-
ly to have the TD called back on
a technicality. Few could believe
their eyes as the fleet halfback
took what was supposed to be a
lateral on the kickoff and roared
across the goal line untouched.
In the first quarter, Archer City
received the kick off and drove
to Jacksboro’s 32 yard line mostly
on the efforts of Jimmy Peirce and
Bobby McGriff. On fourth down.
McGriff lost 3 to killThe threat
and Jacksboro took over on its
32.
Opening up with a bruising
ground game, Jacksboro drove in
consecutive downs to the Archer
City 1, 1st and goal, with Boyel
carrying over and the conversion
good. 10:49 1st quarter, 7-0, Tigers.
Here the crowd got a glimpse of
numbers to come as 12, Massen-
gale and 65, Boyel. doing most
at the plowing. .Archer City grew
to tire of seeing these two num-
bers as they became a thorn in
the aide all night.
Archer City began with the KO
on its 29 yard line. 1st and ten, a
good gain nulifled by an illegal
use of hands then Peirce recov-
ered some of the lost yardage on
2nd down on a pitchout to the 31.
1st quarter ended, 7-0 Jacksboro.
Failing to gain the first, McGriff
punted beautifully to the 29 where
Boyel was dropped almost in his
tracks Jacksboro taking over on
the 29 and driving to a first on
3rd drive by a plunge by Boyel to
their own 43. Number 65 again,
drove to a first on the Wildcat’s
41, running instead of punting on
4th. Massengale then broke loose
a couple plays later for a TD only
to suffer the misfortune of a red
flag, backfield in motion, Jacks-,
boro’s ball on the Wildcats 45.
Hughes carried to the 35, Boyel
to the 29 and Massengale carried;
for another first down on the 15.,
Massengale for another 1st on the
3 and Boyel, again, over from the
3 for the TD. 9:00 minutes gone in
the 2nd quarter, 134, Tigers, the
cob version sailing wide to the left.
Then came the thriller. McGriff
received the kick-off, and following
his Mockers to the right, the en-
tire team made it look like they
were going up the right side line.
As McGriff neared his own 25, he
suddenly stopped, wheeled and
threw clear across the field to one
Jimmy Peirce who was standing
• Inches in front of this same yard
marker,,Who grabbed the ball and
set sail. Only one man was able
to get in a position to catch Peirce,
but he went by him so fast this
Tiger caught a cold. But all for
naught as the Eagle’s eye of ref-
eree Maxie Bell caught the infrac-
tion and back they came. Instead
of 13-6 or 7, the Wildcats were in
a hole. 1st and 10 on the Wildcat
18. This was just what the Wildcats
needgd to get rolling. With time
running out and tempers running
high, McGriff passed to Peirce to
their own 45, then Peirce on a
pitchout gained the 23 of Jacksboro
going around right end. As the
first half was coming to an end.
McGriff was smothered for a 3
yard loss and then the favorite
pitchout, big gainer the first quar-
ter failed as Peirce was unable to
go. Half time: 13-0.
The half opened with an ex-
change of favors the Wildcats in-
tercepting a Jacksboro pass on
their own 18. From there, the Wild-
cats worked for a first on the 33
on a pass to Wilson, but couldn't
move and had to punt to the Tigers
87. Massengale and Boyel again
combined talents to carry to the
Wildcats 36 where they held for
downs.
McGriff then showed some poise
while under fire as he passed
beautifully to Linscott for 47 yards
but still holding on trying desper-
ately to score.
Remember Friday night’s game
at Newcastle. Shutting my eyes
and crossing my fingers, I’ll say
Wildcats 20, Newcastle 13.
Coach Bill Cofer said that he
was well pleased with the spirit
shown by the boys and he thought
they played a good game, coming
back from a heatbreaking call
and putting up a stiff Rattle. He
cited Stevens, Peirce, and Mc-
Griff as outstanding backs on the
offense and Linscott, Covington,
Monte Lewis as outstanding in the
line on offense.
On the defense Bill was well
pleased with Peirce, Lonnie Wil-
son and Neas in the backfield, and
Cole, A1 Hilbers and Covington in
the line.
Record Broken af.
Sunday School
More people attended Sunday
School at the First Baptist church
last Sunday than at any time in
its 74 years’ history according to
the pastor, John D. Alexander.
Gordon Elmore and John Wright,
superintendents, with their cowork-
ers in eleven departments, were
successful in reaching 425 individ-
uals in the Sunday School.
’fc^e Nursery I Department, Mrs.
Clint Deskin, superintendent, with
Mrs. W. T. Eustace and Mrs. Mat-
tie McKee, helpers, led the attend-
ance in percentage with more pres-
ent than there were enrolled. Sev-
eral other departments wdte close
to having as many present as they
had enrolled.
The Senior Adult Department,
Mrs. A. W. Scarbrough and Floyd
Westfall, superintendents, led the
attendance as far as the total
number of individulas in one de-
partment was concerned.
Th4se two Sundays of the Enlar-
gement Campaign has seen the
church go over its goal of 406 av-
erage attendance. The church has
hopes to average this number the
other eleven Sundays of the Cam-
paign. Everyone that has attended
either Sunday so far will receive
an award if he does not miss an-
other Sunday.

< Editor’s note: The following
letter was received this month by
Fire Chief John Robinson and is
reprinted here in order to clarify
the position of city officials on the
problem of fire reporting when the
dial system is installed in Archer
City’s telephone system.
Dear Mr. Robinson:
This refers to my recent conver-
sation with you in your office re-
garding the matter of repenting
fire after the dial conversion.
There are three different ways
that can be used for reporting
fires.
1. By placing a telephone at the
Fire station and attachixig a re-
lay circuit so mat when me desig-
nated number *> dialed it will auto-
matically set off me fire signal.
This method is not too satisfact-
ory, due to tne various reasons
which we discussed in your office.
2. By placing a telepnone at Ui«_-
fire station and when designated
number is dialed, me fireman on
duty will take the location of the
tire and then turn in fire alarm
indicating location, section, town
or ward by various signal of me
fire alarms. This method is much
better man numoer one, however,
it has some draw backs, as you
would have to set up a code of
signals for each ward.
3. This method would be by plac-
ing a telephone in tne Fire Ela-
tion lor tne purpose of reporting
tire. Then tne city purchasing a re-
cording device tor tire reporting
The recording device has a speak-
er on tne unit whereby the tire-
man taking me report of the fire
by telephone men tne speaker re-
cords u three or four times in tne
recording device and men can take
me fire truck and go on to me
fire. The recording device has ten
outlets, in other words, 'ten calls
can come in at one time and re-
ceive me location ol the fire. This
is done by the fireman being fur-
nished a certain code number to
dial for the fire information. This
code can be dialed from any tele-
phone in town. Upon this code
cumber being dialed they would
automatically go into the record-
ing unit and the recording unit
would repeat the location of the
fire, then the fireman would know
exactly where to go without hav-
ing to go to the fire station. The
cost of the recording device is ap-
proximately $1,200.00. TTlls

To pay for this system, no. 3,
the city council is asking for pub-
lic opinion on how to pay for this
unit described in paragraph no. 3.
It has been suggested that a small
charge be added on to the water
bills each month until cost of in-
tallatioa is satsifieci.
Only tentative, but considered,
is the levying of an additional fee
of about 25c a month on each mak
ing each meter have a total levy
of about $2.35, for the entire cost,
and which levy would be dropped
as quickly as the system is paid
for.
This proposal will be considered
at the next council meeting.
Thursday, October 7, at 7:30. If
a special meeting is called to con-
sider this matter, then that date
will be announced. Otherwise, the
above date will stand.
The council meets regularly on
each Thursday, should there be
sufficient or important business,
but if no business is pressing, the
routine matters are usually hand-
led the 1st Thursdays of each
month. Special meetings are so
designated by the council. The pub
lie is always allowed to meet with
the council and are requested to
offer any suggestions relevant to
subjects under consideration.
