ildcats Meet White Deer Bucks Tomorrow
Twelfth Game of
Post- War Series
A long-time grid rivalry will be renewed to-_
morrow night (Friday) at White Deer when the
Canadian Wildcats and the White Deer Bucks
tangle in a non-conference game . . . their
twelfth meeting in a post-war series which be-
gan in 1947. The two teams are currently
rated near the top in their re-
spective Class A districts, and
there's a good possibility that
Friday night's game may be a
preview oí the 1957 bi-district
tussle between Districts 1-A
and 2-A.
Once before ... in the 1950
season ... Wildcats and Bucks
clashcd twice in one season,
once in non-conference game
and later for the District
championship. The Wildcats
won both games.
The Bucks won last year's
meeting at Wildcat Stadium
by a 20-13 score, breaking a
seven-game winning streak by
the Wildcats.
The Bucks have chalked up
three straight victories so far
this season, two of them over
District 2-A teams. After win-
ning the season's opener from
Class B Groom by a 26-7 score,
the Bucks knocked over Clar-
endon 28-26 and Lefors 20-7
cm successive week-ends.
The Wildcats have lost two
games in two starts, dropping
their opener to the strong
Class B Wheeler Mustangs
13-6 and losing a thriller to
the Class AA Perryton Rang-
ers 6-0. The team was idle
last week-end.
Coach Grady Burnett reports
that his squad should be in
top shape for the White Deer
game, barring last-minute in-
juries. All Wildcats have come
through the first two games
with only minor ailments. Fri-
day night's starting line-up
will probably be the same as
against Perryton, with a back-
field made up of Kenny Abra-
ham at «quarterback, Johnny
Grist at fullback, and Warren
Rivers and Hobby McPherson
in the halfback slots; Tony
Briggs at center; Larry Schaef
and Lioyd Gober, guards; Har-
old Yarnold and John Wheel-
er, tackles; and Clevis Beaty
and Roy Sessions at ends.
There'll be a lot of familiar
faces in the White Deer line-
up Friday night. The Bucks
have eleven lettermen back
from the strong 1956 squad,
including ace quarterback Don
Essarv, A. J. Alford, Alton
Hill, Ronald Wrinkle, Joe Mar-
tinez, James McKernon, Bob
McCreary, Bob Smith, Herschel
Powell, Allen Harmon and
Jackie Burns.
Coach Otis Holladay will
field a speedy team with bet-
ter than average weight. The
Bucks, averaging more than
170 pounds per man, will out-
weigh the Wildcats across the
board.
Game time will be 8 o'clock
at the White Deer gridiron.

NO VACCINE IN SIGHT:
But No Cases of Asiatic Flu
Reported in Canadian to Date
So far there have been no
cases of Asiatic Flu reported
in Canadian, and very little of
the flu vaccine received here.
A small quantity of vaccine
has been received at Canadian
Pharmacy and turned over to
local doctors, but only enough
to inoculate the doctors and
some members of the hos-
pital staff.
Pharmacist Gilbert Dickens
reports at mid-week that he
has had no indication from
manufacturers when vaccine
would be available, or in what
quantity . . . but no sizeable
quantities are expected for
some time to come.
Cost oí the vaccine, a one-
shot doeage, will be three dol-
lars ... if and when it is
available. All doctors can do
is put the names of patients
wanting the vaccine on a
waiting list.
The U. S. Public Health Ser-
vice has established a priority
list, on a voluntary basis,
which calls for first supplies
of vaccine to go to doctors,
nurses, and other emergency
personnel.
There were a few cases of
influenza in the community at
mid-week, but none, appar-
ently, of the "Asiatic" variety.
High School Principal John-
ny Cardinal reports only a
handful of absentees due to
flu at mid-week.
While the flu vaccine will
be scarce and hard to get for
some time to come, plenty of
polio vaccine is available here

Magnolia, Sun
Have Producers
Parker Petroleum Company's No. 1 Ben Hill
. . . which pre-completion estimates peg- as one
of the Panhandle's biggest gas wells . . . may be
brought in this afternoon, according to late re-
ports from the location.
Bad luck, which has plagued the deep well
from the beginning more than ten months ago,
held on last week-end to delay the scheduled
completion tests. A plug set in the hole last
Thursday night fouled the tubing at the 10,000-
foct level, and the Parker crew has spent the
past week pulling and replacing the drill pipe.
Total depth is 11,247 feet.
Production will be from two
zones, at 9819-39 feet and
10,906-36 feet, and Parker Pe-
troleum president D. H. Parker
reported last Thursday that
the well would be completed
as a dual producer.
Parker estimated total po-
tential at "about 150 million
cubic feet of gas." and confi-
dently predicted that the Ben
Hill would be one of the Pan-
handle's biggest gassers.
Parker, who was here for
the scheduled final tests last
week-end, returned to Ponca
City, however, and was not on
location for the expected com-
pletion this afternoon.
The well is located on the
Ben Hill ranch, in Roberts
county a mile from the Hemp-
hill county line and about 12
miles northeast of Canadian.
In the meantime, in Hemp-
hill county northeast of Cana-
dian, two deep wells are indi-
cating commercial gas pro-
duction and a third is being
tested.
Magnolia Petroleum Com-
pany's No. 1 Jones, located in
section 5. block 43, is prepar-
ing for final tests with poten-
tial production estimated at
about 15 million cubic feet of
gas; and Sun Oil Company
has completed the No. 1 Eliz-
abeth Lockhart, in section 55,
block 42, for 9M> million cubic
feet of gas and 40 barrels of
distillate per million.
Sun is continuing water-
frac treatment on the compa-
ny's No. 1-A Wilson, an off-
set to the company's gas and
distillate producer, the No. 1
Wilson, and field reports indi-
cate promising results.
Sun is expected to announce
a new location in Lipscomb
eounty, just across the Hemp-
hill county line, in section 76
on the Davey Wright ranch
within a few days.
Another Sun test in Hemp-
hill county, the T. H. Lock-
hart, located in section 57.
block 42. was drilling at about
6,000 feet at midweek.
In Ochiltree county. Baker-
Taylor is preparing to drill a
deep test for Horizon Oil Com-
pany on a Humble farm-out.
Location is In section 317,
block 43, in Ochiltree county
. . . about two miles south-
east of the producing Turner
and Swink wells.
