CROSBYTON, CROSBY
Owens- Matlock
in Main Boat at
the Legion Gym
Smyers to Meet Frank
eote, the Light Weight
mpion of Oklahoma,
Cham
in Se:
mi-Final Bout
The best fight program in months
is in prospect for Crosby ton and
South Plains fans here Monday night
when the American Legion resumes
its programs. The bouts are sche-
duled for 8 o'clock.
Two of the old favorites are back
with opponents that promise to give
them some real competition. In . the
final and main bout, slated for ten
rounds, Marlin Owens, 153 pounder
of Anton, who has never been de-
feated in the local ring or during
the matches at Ralls last fall, is
scheduled to meet Sammy Matlock.
152 pounds, of Breckenridge. Sammy
is six feet, one inch tall; and is built
very similar to Owens, with about
the same reach. He has several wins
over the topnotchers in his class, in-
cluding Duke Trammell of Fort
Worth. He comes better recommend-
ed to pu\ up a scrap with Owens
than anyone yet secured here.
The semi-final might easily be ad-
vertised as a-main event also. Sche'*
duled for eight round, Son Smyers,
the boy from Lorenzo, weighing 134
pounds, is back in shape again after
breaking his hand shortly after the
New Year, and is taking on Frank
Keothe, 134 pounds, of Anadarko,
Oklahoma. Mr. Keothe, by the way,
is the light weight champion of Ok-
lahoma.
In the opening preliminary, John-
ny Owens, 160 pounder, of Wichita.
Falls, and brotherofMarlin, is-sche-
duled to meet the Lorenzo Kid, wt
160 pounds.

During 1£36 Continental OH , Compa-
ny will spend nearly 75 per cent of
its total consumer advertising appro-
priation for newspaper space, it was
announced here today by Wesley t
Nurin, advertising manager.
Nunn also stated that the Review
has been selected to carry Conoco
advertising this year, and that his
company has again approved one of
the largest sales promotion budgets
in its history.
"Continental's faith in the dividend
power of newspaper advertising is
founded upon sales increases directly
traceable to this medium," said NilhU
"Last year, for example, there was
a marked improvement in Company
earnings, despite excessive flgaso line
taxes and other adverse " factors.
Sales of Conoco Germ Processed Mo-
tor Oil also reached an all-time high
"Business is definitely on the up-
grade. And we are confident that ag-
gressive newspaper advertising, qual-
ity products and a high standard ot
service will make this the most out-
standing year in our history."

announced here by Beauford H. Jes-
ter, of Corsicana, general chairmah
of the coin committee. Proceeds fifom
the Texas Centennial half-dollars'1 will
be used in building the Texas Memor-
ial Museum.
The thirty-two districts, each ot
which will have a general committee,
will coincide with the thirty-one sen-
atorial districts of Texas. The com-
mittees for the districts are now be-
ing formed by Mr. Jester, who is be-
ing aided in the selection of the com-
mittees by Harry D. Cross, director
of the coin campaign. Announcement
of the district committee chairmen
will be made within a short tipie.
Following announcement of Uni-
versity officials to the effect that
the Texas Memorial Museum would
be one of popular appeal instead of
one of scientific research, Mr. Jes-
ter's committee decided to extend
the campaign to every section of the
entire state, giving each Texas citi-
zen an opportunity to donate to the
campaign.
During the pre-construction days
of the Museum the campaigns win
be conducted in the thirty-one dis-
tricts and following the ground break
Trig f or" the "Museum, which will be
held on the University Campus here
on June 7th, the Campaign will be
conducted large at the several Cen-
tennial Celebrations in progress thru
out the state.
"While we knQw that many sub-
stantial subscriptions will accrue to
the museum found," Mr. Jester said,
"the popular appeal of the campaign
is the opportunity offered every citi-
zen of Texas to "become a part of
this patriotic endeavor by the pur-
chase of Texas 'Centennial half-dol-
lars. We are organizinz our cam-
paign in such fashion that qppo:
ity will be given every citizen to h^lp
us by the purchase of these coins to
raise the minimum of $560,000 need-
ed in addition to the state and ^fed-
eral funds."
