LIONS
We are consistently amazed at
the adcptiiess with which P. J.
Hudson, superintendent of schools,
manages to get the big foot nail
games played at home on our own
field though just why we should
he amazed, we couldn't say, know
111jj full well that "Ft-sor" owns
a double headed coin!
Hut this much we do know he
nlway make* a special effort to
pet tin e games played in Ha
11 op, and is usually successful.
And the results can well lie mou
.-tiled by tin- la-t two games the
hi district contest here with Pet-
tu- on December 4. and the region
al championship game litre with
Sabinal la t Friday night.
A large number of out of town
fans attended both games. They
came in, most of them, early, con
sequently, they had to eat. So the
cafe- had additional customers.
They milled about on the streets
until game time, and they must
have spent -omcthing while they
were here. So the merchants pro
filed from that. The distance they
had to travel must have neceasi
tatcd the purchasing of a good
many gallon* of ga-oline here to
get all of them back home.
The P TA and Hand Parent- or-
ganization-. had an opportunity to
make additional money for the
forwarding of their very worth
while project.-.
Aral by i.o means least all of
the printing for both game- was
done at home!
Of rourtte the local team stand*
a better chance to wit, on its own
field and the school and local
fan.« were saved the cost of trans
portation, which in both uf these
case.- was no small matter, con
sidering the distance
All of these things add into thi
reason why Mr. Dodson is will-
ing to offer visiting teams a large
percentage of the gate receipts
to come to Bastrop While the
Si hool itself would probably fare
better financially by going out of
town the town itself profit* con
iderabK by their staying at hom<
We understand that all nine
games booked for next year's sea-
son will Ix played in Bastrop, loo!
A* far as w# are concerned, we
think the attitude of the school
toward the town a- represented
by Mr. Dodson is certainly u fine
in -. and one that should be ap
prwciatwd tiy l<K-al busine s peopU--.
