The light Ada high school football I
team was no match for the Norman .
eleven when the two teams met on the
local gridiron last Friday afternoon. ,
when the local's won j column was i
boosted 55 points, while the visitors j
were unable to advance the ball closer .
than their opponents five yard line.
This feat they accomplished three or !
four times, but failed to score, when ^
the Norman line held like a stones
wall.
Anderson went exceptionally well i
in the Norman backfield, while Wails, i
Clanton and Bowles were the main- 1
stays in the line. Guyer of Ada high
was the star for his team, and his ;
long runs came very near registering j
a score for the victims.
