The kick-off will be at 8 p m on
the Madill Alumni field
Madill schools have been out for
a two-week cotton-picking vaca-
tion and Coach Bob Sumrall is
bandicapped by not having all of
Ms squad out for practice Most of
the boys have been picking cotton
The game will be a homecoming
for Coach Ode Faudree who guid-
ed the Wildcats through two uncle
feated seasons before going to Sul-
phur high school last spring
He reports that he has lost about
15 boys to the army and navy
since last spring and that his boys
are inexperienced
Madill's starting line-up probably
VII be much the same as in the
Lame at Sulphur Friday night The
Bulldogs' starting string also pro-
bably will be the same The teams
are well matched as to weight al-
though Madill has a slightly hea-
vier average
Tickets on Sale
Tickets for the Madill-Sulphur
game are on sale by stu-
dents and at Madill drug
stores They are 40 cents for
adults 20 cents for high school'
student and 10 cents for grade

The battle at Sulphur was hard-
fought Friday night The entire
game the first half was straight
football with the half ending 0 to
O Both teams threatened in the
first half but were stopped by fum-
bles deep in each others territory
In the beginning of the second
half Madill kicked off to Sulphur
with the ball going over the goal
line The Sulphur back picked the
ball up and returned it to the 14-
yard line On the second play the
Bulldogs fumbled and big Thomas
Reynoles recovered on the 14-yard
line Two plays gave the Wildcats
goal to go and on the second play
a pass the first of the game from
Turner to Reynolds was good for
four yards and a touchdown Pass
for extra point was incomplete
The second touchdown of the
game came soon after the next
kickoff Madill carried the ball
down the field from the 41-yardline
by straight playing A pass

GINS REPORT
1481 BALES
COTTON OUT
Crop Not as Large
as Expected: Is
Damaged by Pests
Madill and Kingston gins re-
ported today that 1481 bales of cot-
ton had been ginned This is in ad-
dition to the ginning at Lebanon
A report from there wss not el a1-
able
Choctaw Gin (formerly Ayde-
lotte) in Madill had ginned 688
bales the Frost Gin 438 and Choc-
taw Gin at Kingston 375 bales
Farmers are still rushing about
picking their I5000-acre cotton
crop and are hoping that rain will
stay away a few weeks longer ePa
nut harvesting is in full action and
most of the corn had been gathered
All Marshall county schools are
out for the harvest and children
have been proving of considerable
nelp during the labor shortage
Marshall county's corn crop was
the poorest in several years Too
much rain in the spring washed
out and rotted seed After replant-
ing an August drouth did its share
of damage
The peanut crop is good Mar-
shall county has some 6500 acres to
harvest Without rain these should
make a good paying cash crop
