CoWlEY" DEFEATEuBY
CODY ASTSA78RDAY
Local Boys Outplay Their Heavy
'9Opponents IN Close Game
J On Home Cridiron

A.LN hF "#L ~ ELEHnMN - Al ~
It was conclusively proven last Sat-
urday that beef and Drawn on a foot
ball team does not always mean a
winning eleven, when the team from
the local high school defeated the
self termed Cowley giants on the Cody
field with a large crowd present to
witness the contest.
The home boys were outweighed be-
tween ten and fifteen pounds to the
man, and when the two teams trotted
on to the field it looked as though
the local squad was up against a
tough proposition.
Cody went into the game with a
true fighting spirit, every man play
ing his position well, hitting hard and
holding their heavy opponents in ex-
cellent shape.
The local drew first blood when a
field goal was made by Ed Wilson,
Cody fullback, in the first quarter of
the game, placing the score at three
to nothing.
In the second quarter the Cowley
teamed squeezed in a touchdown af-
ter being held for three successive
downs on the courtyard line without
making an inch of gain.
The third quarter was nobody's
quarter, with the ball travelling first in
one direction and then in the other.
The Cody boys worked their passes
for some substantial gains, but sever
al of their passes were incompleted
on account of the players inability to
hold the ball, which was wet and slip
perry.
With the score standing six to three
in Cowley's favor, the Cody boys op-
ened the last quarter of the game
fighting hard, and working steadily
toward the opposing teams goal line.
With only four minutes to go a for
ward pass was completed from Wilson
to George Kelly, quarterback, who
carried the ball over the line for n
touchdown and winning the game.
For the remainder of the game the
Cody boys held the line fast, only
once allowing a gain which might have
endangered the game for them. Fol-
lowing this play the ball was recover
ed by the locals and held until the
final gun was fired.
The Cody boys outplayed their OPP
ponents throughout the entire game,
executing their plays with a speed and
accuracy which seemed to bewilder
the Cowley men. Good judgment was
shown in the calling of signals and on
only a few occasions were there any
plays made that were not good for
yardage. The boys ran excellent in
reference and showed much better
form than was displayd in the Basin
Cody game.

Rain HOLDSUP
COTTON GINNING
Less Than 600 Bales
Turned Out; Some
Damage Done

Approximately 500 bales of cotton
were ginned in the Valley last week,
leaving the total less than 100000, with
little probability that the $4,000 mark
will be passed unless the rain causes
a larger second crop than is expected
This estimate was made last night by
III. P. Boyd, secretary of the Valley Gin
company, who said that lit is mpos-
sible to tell what it will do There may
have been enough unopened bolls in
some sections to bring on a good sec
ond crop; the rain may cause cotton to
bloom again and cause a second crop,
or it may not.
He estimated that the total would
not pass 10000
Practically all of the cotton which
was open in the bolls and unpicked was
ruined by the heavy wind and rain of
last Sunday night" Mr.. Boyd said.
" However, this was not large amount,
in comparison to what has already
been ginned in the Valley"
The total number of bales ginned at
the close Of the previous Saturday night
was 108,385. The total now is about
108,85O bales.
1t had been previously predicted that
10000 bales would be ginned by fast
night, and 115,000 by the close of the
season. The rain which prevented The
first prediction coming true may cause
the latter to be realized.
