Tribe To Meet
Enid Plainsmen
In Friday Game
Seeking their eighth victory of
the season, El Reno's high stepping
Indians will journey to Enid Fri
day night to engage the Enid
Plainsmen in a non-conference con-
test.
Enid, long a power in the mid-
state conference, is suffering
through one of its poorest seasons
in history, having posted but one
win against seven defeats. Enid
fans are not conceding defeat,
however, as they recall past thrill-
ers of the Plainsmen-Indian duels.
Last season, Coach Kenneth
Kamm's Warriors downed the
northern school 20-7 but the pre-
vious season the heavily favored
Tribe was a victim of a 15-14 upset.
Could Get Rough
Things could get rough tomor-
row night for the Indians as they
meet Enid in the Plainsmen's final
home game of the season which
should provide much inspiration to
the Plainsmen’s senior-studded
squad.
The night has also been named
as “Lettermen’s Night" at Plains-1
men field and all former Enid let-
termen have been invited to watch
the game which could feature al-
most any kind of offensive attack
by the Plainsmen who have nothing
to lose.
The Plainsmen will enter the
game without the services of two
stellar performers in the persons of
end Steve McKeever and halfback
Bob Francis. Both will be sidelined
by injuries received in last week's
27-0 loss to Northwest Classen.
Robartton Top Playor
Fullback Ray Gene Robertson
has been Enid’s leading ball car-
rier and top scorer and is probably
the squad's most versatile player.
Also instrumental in Enid's occa-
sional offense is halfback Bob At-
kinson. The 150-pound senior is
the only regular from the 1954
Enid eleven.
The Indians, fresh from their re-
bounding 21-6 win over Putnam
City, are physically set for the tilt
having every member of the start-
ing lineup ready for action. This
fast-moving eleven includes ends
Walt Land and Jerry Tillery,
flanked by tackles Chuck Janssen
and Tom Hamby. The center will
be Pat McCabe and siding him at
guards will be Harold Johnson and
John Porter.
New Stadium Site
Quarterback Bill Adams will
again be directing the Tribe back-
field which features fullback Burke
Prevratil and halfbacks Jody Far-
ris and Gib Gholston.
The game will be played in
Enid's mammoth new stadium
where the initial kickoff will be
at 8:00 o’clock. Tickets for the
contest may be purchased there
or at the El Reno highschool office.
Israel Claims
Egypt Force
Is Driven Out
JERUSALEM, Nov. 3-144— The
Israeli foreign ministry announced
today that after hard fighting the
"Egyptian invader" has been ex-
pelled from Israeli territory in the
El Auja-Nizana demilitarized zone.
A military spokesman said 50
Egyptians had been killed and 40
captured in the fighting, described
by observers as the heaviest be-
tween Israeli and Egyptian forces
since the end of the 1948 Palestine
war.
Israeli casualties were reported
as four killed and 19 wounded.
A report from Cairo said Egyp-
tian army general headquarters
has taken over command of Egyp-
tian troops in the area from the
Egyptian Palestine department,
which previously controlled them.
General Abdel Hakim Amcr, Egyp-
tian eommander in chief, has gone
to the front, the Cairo dispatch
said.
The fighting centered around El
Sabha, a checkpost within Israeli
territory which the Israelis claimed
the Egyptians had occupied. The
Israeli announcement said it was
reoccupied last night.
Army headquarters in Cairo said
Israelis had thrown 3,000 troops
against 100 Egyptians at the El
Sabha post.

insanity.

ing of her boy friend, Ran Dun-
ham, 31, in an Alva tavern last

gunpoint to dig a grave on the is-

herself. She said he intended then
to burn their bodies with kerosene

Dulles Warns Reds
Of Disunity Danger
GENEVA, Nov. 3—UT>—Secretary
of State Dulles told Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov in the Big Four
conference today that the greatest
danger of recreating German mili-
tarism lies in perpetuating Ger-
man disunity."
Spearheading a western effort to
press Molotov nearer western ideas
on unification of Germany, Dulles
in effect accused the Soviet union
of being afraid of the results of
free and secret all-German elec-
tions. The western powers have
proposed such elections as an es-
sential first step in their unifica-
tion program.
Molotov has argued here the
necessity of preserving what he
considers to be Communist ac-
complishments in East Germany.
Dulles and his western associates
have declared the German people
must be free to choose the kind
of institutions and social systems
they want.

Garner said the hall was emptied
quickly and police were summoned.

They said Stewart had a new
social security card with the name
Tom P. Scott. He said Stewart
maintained that was his real name

County Schools
Gain New Area
Canadian county’s school system
has added more territory to iU
jurisdiction this week, along with
about 14 students.
Neal V. Golden, county super- A
intendent of schools said the addi-

Oklahoma county school district
bordering Canadian county in
which the district had voted to
join the Mustang Valley district in
the eastern part of the county.
Vote Margin Wide
C. E. Grady, sr., Oklahoma
county school superintendent, re-
ported to Golden that the proposal
to annex to the Canadian county
school district, was approved by a
vote of 36 to 4.
The new district to be adminis-
tered in this county will be known
as Joint District 45.
The change gives the district a
total of three buildings, but a new
modern school building is expected
to be constructed at Mustang Val-
ley within the next few months at
a cost estimated at $155,000 to
$160,000, Golden said.
Deley Scheduled
Meanwhile, pending completioa
of the new structure, the Oklahoma
county portion of the district will
continue to be seif-administrating

rent school year and will not be-
come an actual part of the Cana-
dian county system until after next
