The, bjg educational feature of the Rotary Club program of San Sab.i for this year is the "back to school movement." The Club has secured a roster of the grammar school graduates of last spring and is checking the list to encourage the return of these as entrants in high school "this fall. The check, so far, is very gratifying arid shows that most all these are entering high school grades somewhere. Another part of the program is to enlist and encourage scholarship in the high school. To encourage this a limited number of the highest grades will be selected from time to time and entertained with a lunch and a program as an honor to these for the effort put forth, and the ambition to succeed.

The noon lunch last Thursday was featured by the presence of Miss Elizabeth West, home demonstration agent, who told the Rotarians of the work of the women and girls of the county for the past and of the planned program for the coming 'ear. A list of women and girls had earned chances to attend the A. M. College Short Course and of the wonderful success these women and girls are making. The better kitchen program of last year will be followed by the better living room work a a follow up the coming year.

In addition to this the program last Thursday was featured by the reading of select poems by Rotarians Dean, Gosch, Fagg and Ward, and this was especially commended by the membership. Miss Lucy Walker, the pianist, was back from her vacation and was heartily cheered by the luncheon members. ATTENDED THE Richland Springs Entertained Royally.

But what took to hold the Tivy Antlers and to. put over the winning touch down, they had it. Only one touch clown was made by the Armadillos in the first part of the fourth quarter. The Armadillos smashed their way down the field with straight fundamental football to about the 20 yard line. Then Darley hugged to his bosom a beautiful pass from Howard.

Hartley dumped a couple of Antlers driving hard in for a block and a 10 yard run with the ball and Hartley had that touchdown tucked away. Howard failed with a extra point and the record is 6-0 for the first gome of the season, It was not a spectacular Both teams played close to earth and took few chances.

Coach Locklear went into the fame with only three men in With the exception of the last half of the second qurter the original lineup the game through.

In this quarter Dean went in for well at guard. It was the first game this year and many fumbles werq recorded. However, none of these; proved fatal, and the Antlers didt their share of the fumbling. This game also developed that the line is the strongest feature of the Armadillo squad today. And the line is not perfect, thp it did fine work ripping great holes in the Tivy defense and in blocking.

The back field needs speed and snap and it is. likely this will all be taken care of before the next game is called. The attention of the sports writer of the Brady Standard, who recently referred to the San Saba high, school as "also" one of the squads in district eleven, i humbly directed to the records of last Saturday in footballdom. The News is making no claims and handing out no simply calling attention to the record. Old San Saba Hi covered itself, with glory Saturday.

The boys played to win and the "pep" squad was everything that it should, be. I don't know 'how many girls in that "booster bunch" but are all 100 per cent. Miss Essie Gilbreath is the captain or sponsor and Misses Bess Walters "and MiU dred Creamer are yell leaders. There are same 25 or- 30 of tKem'who off to Kerrville and there Is no doubt that they furnished the inspiration for the Armadillos to win that game. The San Saba line up was: Moore, center; Gunner, and Shotwell; guards; Fagg and Peterson, tack.
