Football fans were appealed tu
Wednesday by liigliscliool officials
to back the El Reuo Indians in
their gridiron battle with the Ok-
lahoma City Central Cardinals.
"The El Iletio Indians need your
moral and financial support in
the game here Friday. Be sure
and come out,” said H. E.
Wrinkle, superintendent of the
local school system, in discussing
the size of the football crowds,
"Although the liigliscliool has
one of the strongest football teams
that It lias had In u number of
years, the season lias not been so
successful financially. The high-
school athletic association has
lost money on every home game,"
tlie superintendent said.
"In some communities the stores
| close for all football games, and
others only one during the year.
Our liigliscliool is not asking that
of El Reno, but all businesses are
requested to let off as many em-
ployes as possible for the game
Friday," it was urged.
The game will be the hardest
on the local gridiron tlila season
within all probabilities. Not since
lhhx or 1909 have' Hie Indians
realized u victory over the Car-
dinals.
Prospects for a win this year
are brighter than usual since the
