Only One Score =:
Costs Lions Tie
With TOppenish

T1OIll W1ldG GIley DIRE Saying III
Toppenish about Friday night does
not have the casual observer think
ing that the Wildcats win over Ken
neWick was too much in an impress
i've sort of way. With the aid of men
tai telepathy this writer is also
hearing sounds from the Lions
stronghold that indicate the Kenne-
wick fans are mulling over the same
thoughts.
Having finger on the pulse of
the Toppenish fans, I can tell you
that all it takes to bring out the
digitalis bottle, which is standard
equipment since last Friday night,
is for some thoughtIess person to
suggest that the Kennewick fans
might get their wish. BY putting
only two of the three reserve brain
cells into active duty the Lions fol-
lowers can be heard saying, would
that we had another crack at the
"Siwashes." And the fans around
this berg do not think that % to 81
is an impressive final count.
However, the meeting of the two
clubs again before the valley tour
ney in Wapato is an impossibility
Taking this for fact the next hap
py thought floating about the port
city is-would that the Cats would
be upset, not once, but twice or real
ly getting down to wishful thinking,
three times. 49,
According to former scores which
do not mean anything definite,
TOp-Hi has the last three games in
the bag. However, like was just
said, former scores do not carry
too much. So getting down to
some high powered dope work it
can be concluded that the Cats
are not out Of the woods yet, but
the outlook isn't bad. ...-...
Pasco came out of the gloom last
week with pretty fair win over
Sunnyside, a team that was picked
to go places. Although they were
handed 1920 score by Toppenish
in the Pasco gym earlier in the sea-
son, the Bulldogs might work up
something pretty nasty for the Cats
tonight.
Prosser is really out to sink the
Wildcats, who have spoiled a Mus
tang perfect record so many times
it is amazing that the Prosser fans
are not having to take the "cure.''
If they can just keep from fouling
the Cats, Prosser may help the
Lions outlook a whole lot.
The last game of the season for
Toppenish is with Wapato and this
should bring much joy to the second
spot club. Wapato is always bad
news up here. The Wolves have
turned in a record so far that reg
listers on the dope sheet in one word
smell" However, if I recall my
school days correctly ,one lone Wild
cat fan would not think of going to
game between these two teams
without a couple of hundred other
fans to back him up in case of a
Toppenish win.
With an outlook like that the
Kennewick fans may have cheer
in their hearts because Toppenish
isn't in yet. >s>.> :: .-,
But then neither are the Lions
with four games remaining in the
future it would be better to turn all
their support to keeping the home
