Whitmill are spending a busy week preparing their Tivy Antlers for the first home game Friday night against the San Benito Greyhounds.

San Benito, district runner up last year, promises to be strong competition with four lettermen returning and a heavy line. The backfield, although light, has shown lots of speed running from the formation. The Greyhounds started their season with a 14-0 win over La Feria, and a 50-0 loss to Laredo. The Coaches Curtis Shiflet and Jimmie Barnes will bring their Greyhounds Thursday to start their pre-game work-out, and have no injuries on their squad. The Antler squad, recovering from myriad bruises and bumps after their 6-0 loss to Brownwood last week, underwent light workouts this week, stressing rushing and blocking in the line, and pass defense for the backfield- Quarterback Jack Hoggett was working with Tommy McDaniels, Mike Michon and Hilton Pankratz to get their timing down perfectly on their deceptive ball handling.

Coach W.

C. "Heinie" Weir's Schreiner men, fresh from a 14-0 trimming of Hillsboro Jr. College last week, will be gunning for the Lutherans in order to chalk up their second game in the win column. Boasting a big, fast team this year, the Weirmen, led by stellar Dan Anderegg, loom as a team capable of providing plenty of thrills for the fans through a wide-open type of ground play and tactics calling for frequent use of aerial attack. Schreiner officials have announced that the concrete stands will be reserved for the public, with the stands on the other side being used for students and the band.

With only two men on the squad who had ever played for Schreiner Institute before, Coach Heinie Weir's Mountaineeers won their first football game Friday night with the Hillsboro Junior College by a score of 14-0. Dan Anderegg, Fredericksburg oy who played with Schreiner in L941 and 1942, showed that Army ife had not slowed him down when he scored both of the Moun- touchdowns with long runs, one off-tackle for 41 yards and the second on a punt return for a total of 91 yards. Jackson Babb, guard and co- captain, converted both points. The second game of the season and Kerrville's opener is played Thursday night with the Texas -utheran Bulldogs from Seguin. CATCHES BIG FISH Over 26,000 People Visit State Park During Past Summer Over 26,000 people enjoyed the picnic facilities at the Kerrville State Park last summer, according to figures released this week by Riley Peters, parks committee chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.

According to a count made by B. L. Trask, caretaker, 6,939 cars entered the park during the months of May, June, July and August. The actual figures for each month are: 560 Texas cars, 50 out of state, and 2,236 people. 1,006 Texas cars, 92 out of state, and 4,469 people.

3,470 Texas cars, 144 out of state, and 12,777 people. 1,5.71 Texas cars, 79 out of state, and 7,092 people. Largely responsible for the crowds, said Mr. Peters, is the increasing popularity of the concrete picnic units. However, a great many people drive through this state game refuge to show visitors deer and wild turkey.

At the present time there are about 60 deer living on the Park property, despite a few deaths during the drought. At this season quite a number of roosting in the area. turkey are Kiwanians To Hear Football Coaches Thursday Noon Kerrville Kiwanians will be more football minded than ever Thursday afternoon for Coach C.

MARRIAGE LICENSES Chest X-Rays To Be Given Employees At Veterans Hospital Periodic chest x-rays of all employees of Veterans Administration hospitals and homes have been ordered in an effort to detect possible tuberculosis infections, according to Dr. C.

R. Dischinger, president of the Chamber of Commerce.

A site has been chosen, and the bid submitted included the cost of erecting an administration building and leasing about 1,200 acres of pasture land for the station. Federal approval is expected by next week, although the lease forms may have to be re-arranged, said J. G. Cox, special committee chairman. Dr.

E. J. Laake, Bureau employee, was a visitor in Kerrville last week, and stated that as soon as the bid is signed, about ten quonset huts will be erected, and the first of the research scientists and families will move into Kerrville. This station, which will be a combination of three present groups at Menard, Uvalde and Dallas, will deal chiefly with the study of internal parasites, ranch animals. Over 20 families will move with the establishment of the station.

The program has been started as far as possible with existing personnel and facilities and without interfering with examination and treatment of veteran beneficiaries. Only VA salaried personnel and equipment will be used for the x-ray examinations. New employees of hospitals and homes will be given chest x-rays at the time of their employment, Dr. Moore said. Personnel now employed at Hospitals and homes will be given chest x-rays as soon as possible and at least annually thereafter.

When VA employees end their service with hospitals or homes, they will be given chest x-ray examinations whenever possible said Dr. Moore. Mrs. J. B.
