Freshmen Wade Griffin and Jamie
Williamson scored second-quarter
touchdowns of one yard and 19
yards respectively. Griffin finished
with 117 yards rushing on nine car-
ries. Williamson chipped in with
58 yards on nine carries.
The Savages rolled up 324 yards
of total offense in the first half and
led 46-0 at halftime. Some 265 of
their 324 yards came on the ground.
"Everybody would like to go out
and have a challenge," Holloway
said. "It's not going to be like this
every game, and this week, we'll
have to play with a lot more emo-
tion."
The bloodmobile will be here

"We're really excited about OU's
performance at Friday's game,"
Huitt said. "It gives not only the
fans, but especially our high school
band students, a chance to learn
more about a college band pro-

"Although some people still
voice concerns about getting a dis-
ease while donating blood, there is
absolutely no way this can hap-
pen," Underwood said. "The needles
and bag are only used one time and
then thrown away."
Every day more than 100 donors
are needed to donate blood through-
out Red River Region. Goal for
Wynnewood is 40 and anyone be-
tween 17 and 73 who weighs 110
pounds and is in good health is in-
vited to donate.
Some council members have ex-
pressed doubt voters would approve
a bond issue that would raise prop-
erty taxes by an amount necessary
to finance the street improvements

engineer.
it is possible the Equalization Board
would increase the ratio to fund ed-
ucational improvements, thereby
putting the burden of paying for
them on the 33 percent of the popu-
lation that owns property.
Weedn said she enjoys being a
senator and thanked her constituents
for allowing her to serve.
During the chamber meeting,
chamber manager Gene Johnson
announced that the chamber is
planning a Homecoming '90 cele-
bration as part of the Wynnewood
Savages' homecoming Oct. 12.
Merchants are being asked to dis-
play red and white ribbons and to
hold sidewalk sales.
Sororities or other organizations
who would like to have fund-raisers
that day are asked to contact either
Johnson or Sandy Garrett, chamber
president.
Greg Lorimore, Kerr-McGee
Refinery manager, also invited
chamber members to attend the re-
finery picnic that begins at 10 a.m.
Saturday, Oct. 27.

Pat, the Pride’s directors, Gene

unit of Tom Horton's class in agri-
cultural sales and service.
Horton says he sees the depart-
ment's participation as an opportu-
nity to take advantage of resources
available within the community.
Don Mallow also will teach a sec-
tion of the class having to do with
shoplifting and handling money.
Topics to be covered by the po-
lice department include personal se-
curity, rape prevention, burglary
prevention, robbery and shoplifting.

cases, it might mean the difference

Weedn said she also hopes to
bring to the floor her Parental
Notification Bill that would require
parents of teenagers living at home
to be notified before a daughter gets
an abortion. There also is provision
for judicial notification, if there is
sufficient reason for the parent(s)
not to know.
The senator, who represents
Garvin and McClain counties, said
she has been named to a committee
to study aid for rural fire depart-
ments to enable them to upgrade
their equipment and training and
thus lower the rates rural residents
have to pay for fire insurance.
Weedn, who supports House Bill
1017, said she believes that though
the bill is not perfect, it is the best
way to improve education and that
it is necessary to improve educa-
tion.
If the bill were repealed, she said,
"Most of the time we'll be in
some tough games, so they proba-
bly won't get to play that much
anymore," Holloway said.
The Savages scored three times
each on one-play and two-play
drives and twice on three-play
marches. Their longest drive cov-
ered 82 yards in seven plays and re-
sulted in Cain's 46-yard jaunt late
in the third quarter.

A program he hopes will have
two-fold benefits—to involve police
officers with the community and
give residents an opportunity to be-
come better acquainted with them-
has been launched by Acting Police
Chief David Sanders.
The reserves and freshmen helped
put Wynnewood atop the league
race. Because Wynnewood scored
the first four times it touched the
football, the starters gave way to
the underclassmen after only seven
offensive plays.
"We're always glad to win, and
we like to win," said Wynnewood
head coach Jim Holloway. "As far
tual donation takes less than 10
minutes.”
And Ann Bowling, Red Cross
representative, in response to the
fear of pain, pointed out that while
playing football or even jogging
can be more painful, people partici-
pate anyway.
"First-timers usually are pleas-
antly surprised by the experience,”
Underwood said, adding that the sat-
isfaction gained by helping people
in need makes up for the minor dis-
comfort.
time. The ensemble will be joined
by the Wynnewood and Marietta
bands in a massed band performance
of several selections.
Wynnewood is proud to have two
young men in the "Pride" marching
band, Huitt said. Malt and Pat
Horton, sons of Tom and Sue
Horton, have been in the ensemble
for four years and are currently serv-
ing in prestigious positions within
the group. Matt is trombone sec-
tion leader and Pat is first chair

hope to open better channels of
communication between the stu-
dents and our police officers,”
Sanders said. "I feel that having
each officer take part in these pro-
grams will present a different side
of the officer that the public doesn't
get to see out on the street and will
generate better relations within the
community."
Programs on child abuse aware-
ness and home security also are
available. Sanders said the depart-
ment has a variety of films avail-
able that are suitable for different
audiences.
The police department is avail-
able to any group of citizens for
programs of interest to the group,
he said.
The department, by virtue of its
function, has been seen as a primar-
ily reactive organization and not a
preventive one, Sanders said. The
only way this can change is by
helping the public to become aware
of the ways they can assist officers
in preventing crime and the things
they can do to keep from becoming
victims, he said.
The D.A.R.E. anti-drug program
being presented by Officer Ken
Moore is being well received in the
schools, Sanders said. Every officer
eventually will be involved in some
aspect of it, he added, commending
Moore for his effort in making the
program a success.
Sanders announced that Officer
Louis E. "Buddy" Perry has joined
the department as a fulltime officer
after completing his training at the
C.L.E.E.T. Academy.
Fulltime officers include Sanders,
Perry, Moore and Jerry Boucher.
Steve Collier serves partlime.

Funding a bill to establish public
transportation in Oklahoma's rural
counties, including Garvin, will be
one of her priorities when the state
senate goes back in session,
Sen.Trish Weedn told members of
the Chamber of Commerce Friday.,
Sept. 21.
Weedn, speaker for the meeting,
said the public transportation fund
was established during the last ses-
sion, but no money was allocated
because of uncertainty over the edu-
cation reform bill (1017).
One of the first things she in-
tends to do in the next session is
work on a $2 million allocation to
match federal funds for vehicles and
equipment for public transportation,
she said.
According to the existing legisla-
tion, 50 percent of the money will
have to go toward transportation for
the elderly and handicapped, she
said.
Lack of public transportation in
rural areas is a real concern, she
said, particularly for the elderly and
All totaled, Wynnewood posted
11 scores, including eight by rush-
ing. Flowers wasn't the lone
Savage scoring multiple touch-
downs. Halfbacks Jeremiah Smith
and freshman Chris Cain each
scored a pair of rushing touch-
winning the district opener.
Marietta and Davis share the early
lead with the Savages. Marietta
blanked Tishomingo 27-0 while
Davis drubbed Healdton 32-7.

Walters mustered just 125 yards

Hubanks led the Devils' totals with

Wynnewood returns home Friday

Indians opened the season with con-
secutive losses to Madill,
Plainview and Ringling.
