yards to score for the fourth
time. It was Peachlyn, James

running yardage, and the
Wynnewood defensive club was
just unable to stop them.
Gary Cook, Senior quarter-
back for the Savages, was hurt
in the 2nd quarter, and Junior
quarterback Ralph Riddle took
over the reins of the ballclub.
He did a excellent job of sub-

MORATORIUM
While the proposed national moratorium scheduled for Wed-
nesday to protest the Vietnam war is getting attention of public
officials, and this includes the Oklahoma Senator Fred R.
Harris, many group reactions are that of patriotism. Many
towns will fly the American Flag in the downtown areas to
show their support of the fighting men in Vietnam.
No man in his right mind would not rejoice if we could stop
this war today. We will never be convinced that the President,
be Republican or Democrat, is not making every effort to stop
this thing and bring our boys home.
We do believe that demonstrations by the people, and our
public officials are more a detriment than a help. What has
happened to the full support of all the country when we are in
a war? It would have been tragic if this feeling of a divided
population had existed at Bunker Hill, St. Mehiel, Bataan,
Corrigador, or the Battle of the Bulge.
Senator Harris has the right to back the moratorium if he
sees fit. He must remember that the people of Oklahoma also
have the right to vote for whomever they choose come next
election;

Savages from this point, as the

TRAFFIC SAFE TY
“ Traffic safety is not just a police problem," notes the FBI
Law Enforcement Bulletin. “It is a ‘people problem’ in which
there are achievements still to be gained from responsibili-
ties yet to be assumed by people who administrate , who en-
force, who judge, who teach, and, finally by people who drive.
We have learned how to project man into outer space and re-
turn him safely to earth. Now, we have got to find a way to
keep him alive on our streets and highways."

OKLAHOMA VS. TE XAS
Every year we get all ready to send our Oklahoma football
team into the Cotton Bowl for the big game with Texas. It is
always thought by Oklahomans that this might be the year, and
again this year, we came away the loser.
It looked as if our coaching staff spent the entire game play-
ing for a tie when over 2 million Oklahomans were hoping for
a win. We ran out the clock at halftime without trying for a
.score. We kicked a field goal during the third period to tie
the score, when we could have gone for the first down and pos-
sibly scored to go into the lead. We made some mechanical
mistakes, and it cost us a ballgame. Oh, well, maybe next
year’

TO TUI YOUTH
“I want to see you game, boys. I want to see you brave and
manly, and I also want to see you gentle and tender. Be prac-
tical as well as generous in your ideals. Keep your eyes on
the stars, but remember to keep your feet on the ground. Cour-
age, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent efforts are all
essential to successful life Alike for the Nation and the indi-
vidual, the one indispensable requisite is character.”
Teddy Roosevelt said it over 50 years ago. This would be
considered square by today’s youth; however, it is as true to-
day as it was during Roosevelt’s day.

The first performance will be

Marching Contest, October 11,
1969.
Inspection, which will begin
before the contest, will include
the neatness and cleanliness of
each band member and uniform,
as well as each instrument.
The band members are also
judged on how well they carry
their instruments and how well
they play. Ratings will be
classified as Superior, Excel-
lent, Good, Fair, and Poor.
The show which the band
will present at the contest will
be a combination of ones they
have done at the football games.
They will use two types of drill
steps which are “Step Two"
and “Patterns of Motion."
Mr. Gerald Cox stated, “W<
have a very good chance of
doing well, but our main prob-
lem will be that one-ihird of
our band will be marching for
the first time at a contest. I
think Tishomingo will be our
toughest competition.”
Twirlers of the band will
perform an ensemble to the
music of Cabaret. A solo
act will be performed by
Vicki Coleman, Valerie Met-
try, Holly Riddle, Connie
Goodman, Luanne Ensey, Paula
Denson, and Fran Vaughn.
The Wynnewood Junior Rodeo
is attracting contestants from
as far away as Wichita Falls,
Texas, according to Raymond
Ferguson, Chamber of Com-
merce Secretary.
“We have already received
notices from Wichita Falls,
Gainesville, and Denton," Fer-
guson noted, “and interest
from Oklahoma potential candi-
dates is high, too."
There will be contestants
representing Wynnewood, also.
Ferguson added. Local in-
terest is running high in the
October 18-19 Junior Rodeo
event sponsored by the Wynne-
wood Round Up Club.
