High Scoring Come
Sees Hornet Win
By 1894 Score
By Hazel Brannon Smith

Lexington Hornets put on a
brilliant offensive show of
running and blocking to
sting the Durant Tigers 1884
in a thrilling game Friday
night on Beall Field.
Although the Hornets led
all the way there was no mo-
ment in the game when they
could relax their efforts and
feel the game was won. The
Tigers were giving battle
every foot of the way in what
is believed to be the highest
scoring game in the long ser
les between the two teams.
Lexington made IL first
downs and gained 397 yards
running and passing while
Durant got nine first downs
and earned 344 yards.
Both teams looked eXcep-
tionally good on offense, as
indicated by the score. Neither
had an effective defense.
Coach Woodson Earle mo-
destly said his boys played
"a real good game But when
prompted by this reporter he
admitted they gave a superb"
performance.

ference she exclaimed. She then
called down Councilman Red Bouch-
er, who wanted to accept the reso-
luton and pay the School District
the ST ,073,00O.
Makes Accusation
She accused him of breaking his
campaign promises and then stated
that perhaps people who were will
ing to dispense such large amount
of money without even seeing the
amended budget shouldn't even be
on the Council.
Boucher defended his stand, stat
ing that he had spent a great deal
of time studying the problem be-
fore he made his decision. He went
on to state that he felt education
was one of the most vital needs of
the community, and that the educa-
ton budget should not be trimmed.
Following question by the Coun-
Gil, Acting City Manager Robert
Crow stated that the School Budget
request would mean a tax levy of
14.06 mills.
Higher Taxes
Councilwoman Ringstad pointed
out that the tax levy this year would
be considerably larger than last
years.
Councilman Boucher pointed out
that last year the City used surplus
to pay part of the City budget

In his remarks at the end of the

that it was his observation that

cutting the education programs,
