Local fans are DESTROYS Of hav-
ing the secretary keep the scores
OF all valley teams playing mas
much. as a tourney is not practical
and declare the pennant winners
from the highest percentage won

Football Likely
1t is not likely that FaIrview will
pass through another season with.
out a football team. Plans were
made at the valley meeting last
year for a football schedule, but
with the opening OF school last
fall 1t was found difficult to
finance a new organization. Now
since the division OF high school
teams into Class A and B, depend
ing upon whether or not the school
supports three major sports, this
will act asian added incentive u
local supporters to put a football
team in the field. Fairview people
take a great deal Of pride in their
athletic teams and under no con.
sideration In which financial aid
is wanting.
Fairview High can have a strong
football team. Very few high
schools In the state can boast OF
strength, size, skill and speed
superior to the brand evidenced in
the local school. The school will
lose by graduation this year, A,
and B. Ammons, Paul Michael and
Clyde Swlger, but with ABE" VIII
son. Underwood. Toothman, n.
Wilson, Wyer, Pitzer and N. Mich.

ganizing a strong team would bu
simple.
