Port Arthur and Abilene school
authorities are to he congratulated
ON the decision reached Sunday in
regard to the site of the state
championship battle Friday be-
tween their high school football
eieyens. Not because tho con-

their fields vas turned down.

Why should either Port Arthur or
Abilene. after fighting their way to
the state finals, play the biggest and
last game away from both Of the
home cities? It's the home town
fans that make possible a winning
eleven, in many respects. And they
deserve to have the game played
on their own gridiron. And in this
case Abilene and Pt. Arthur agreed
70 play in the former city.
