Enid FiUe Due to
Stage Fight Here
With c. III. S. Outfit

An announcement from the high
school this afternoon stated that
Coach Reese's ''hornets" are sche-
duled to meet the Enid high five in
post-season game on the court of
dhe local senior high school tomor-
row evening at 7:45. Although the
conference championship has al
ready been decided, it is pointed out
that the outcome Of this game will
determine whether or not Chickasha
is to retain its present position in
the conference, as defeat at the
hands of Enid would place the locals
on the same plane with Oklahoma
City for second place Chickasha
now holds undisputed second place
in conference basket ball for this
season.
1t is explained that the Chickasha-
Enid game was slated for two weeks
ago but the Enid aggregation was
unable to make the trip at that time.

Tampico, Feb. 8, (by mail) THE
oil frontier is moving southwark.
Where it will be tomorrow neither
The magnate nor his scout in the
field will hazard an answer to that
question--but today the front lines
are at Tampico, down in the semi
tropical malarial lands of Mexico's
east coast And the same types who
blazed the way at Slstersyille and
Bradford, on to Robinson and Inde-
pendence and down to Tulsa, Beau
mont and Shreveport, are here today
pioneering with the zest and persist
ence that have always marked the
explorer
The story of Tampico is story
of oil and in writing that story the
American has played the most con-
spicuous part, a part which cannot
help but bring sense of pride to
the American who sees for the first
time the magnitude of the enterprise
which is eountrymen are carrying
forward today in the greatest oil
field Of the world.
Tampico is about six miles up the
Panuco river, which empties into the
Gulf of Mexico at the southernmost
roint of the state of Tamaulipas
Oil fields are both to the north and
south of Tampico. No sooner, how
ever, has your ship crept over the
shallow bar at the mouth of the Pa
nuco than both the eye and the nose
are greeted by evidences of petrole

signs of oil are on the land and in

City Treasurer rs
Years Young; Feels
Like "QuGrter Horse"

With muscles elastic, mind active
vision clear as an eagles, and Other
wise unscathed by the tide OF the
passing years, Judge w. w. Clark
present city treasurer and pioneer
citizen of Chickasha, was rs years
young yesterday.
Mr.. Clark has seen Chickasha
grow from a mere town with a popu'
lation of four thousand citizens, COW
boys. Indians and tradespeople to a
community of nearly eighteen
thousand people. He has watched
fhe small frame structures, which, in
former days housed the few indus
tries and small businesses Of the
town, give way to sturdy fireproof
structures of concrete and brick
which now form the homes OF numer-
GUS manufacturing plants, industries,
trades and businesses. He has also
seen the removal of unseemly tents
dence section of the city and has
watched the gradual construction OF
hundreds Of modern, attractive and
comfortable homes.
No, there were no fiye-story brick
buildings, paved streets, concrete
sidewalks, elaborate and convenient
schools, twentieth-century farms, nor
even an automobile in and around
here when Judge Clark first set foot
on the soil of Chickasha, all of which
furnishes thought for reflection
when it is realized that his coming
was only twenty years ago.
When asked how he felt at the age
of rs, Mr. Clark replied that he had
not felt better in 20 years or had as
much energy for work.
