BULLDOGS LOSE TO HORN-
ETS — With 1,500 people look-
ing on, the McGregor Bulldogs
fought a creditable though los-
ing battle against the heavier
Gatesville Hornets on Wood
field Thanksgiving day. The Bull-
dogs took the fight to the Hor-
nets from the opening whistle
and with a little luck could have
been the winner. In the last per-
iod of the game a Bulldog drop-
ped a short pass which he had
juggled along for ten yards and
which finally fell from his hands
after he had crossed the goal
line. Once more the Bulldogs
drove to within the Hornets 5-
yard line, falling short of a first
down by no more than a yard.
... On offense the Bulldog quar-
tet of Dawson, Kittrell, Pedigo
and Gatlin more than matched
the drive of the Gatesville backs.

HUNTERS — A hunting par-
ty composed of Guy Anderson
Frank Smith, Park D. Evers and
Jack Nations have returned
home after spending several days!
in Gillespie • county. Various ver-
sions of the trip have come to
It seems that
that group was extremely versa-
tile. AVhile Guy Anderson and
Frank were proving their ability
as master marksmen by killing
two deer, each having eight
points, Jack Nations, a third
member of the party won fame
for himself as cook and keeper of
the camp. As for Parke D. Evers
members of the party declare
that ho was simply “too fast”
for the deer, and it fell his offic-
ial duty to be the “life of the
party. ’ ’
