Civil Service school games of the year to Ruston fans, due to neither having been defeated in their district, Grayson having won 6 straight games without having been scored on, and Choudrant having won the only two district games they were ableto schedule by decisive margins. Grayson, in addition to not allowing the opposition a score this year, have allowed them a combined total of but 13 first downs, which indicates that the Aggies will have to be good to take them tomorrow.

In thenorthwest group, Dubach and Arcadia will bring to Ruston one of the real, outstanding "grudge battles" of this section of the state. They will also bring over two of the best football teams in north Louisiana. Dubach, after losing a 6-0 decision to Minden, a class school, to start the season, have run up scores of 26-0; 50-0 and 57-7 on teams such as Ben ton, Junction City and Farmerville, to prove that they still Diserict, Customshouse, New Orleans, up to December 3.

RUSTON HIGH BEARCATS TO MEET MINDEN TIDE THURSDAY Entire Squad In Good Condition for First Time This Year; Team To Be Playing Third Straight Homecoming Engagement Ruston High School's Bearcats will invade Minden Thursday af- rnoon where they will meet the Minden Crimson Tide in the later's Homecoming game. The battle scheduled to start at 2:15.

Harrist, a brother of J. B.

Harrist, L. S. U. Tackle, and former all-state from Dubach, is almost as big as his older brother, and does the and for the Plungers. His punting and passing have been outstanding all year.

To off-set this array of talent and weight, Coach Hoss Garrett, of Arcadia, will have Gerald Hightower, triple-threater deluxe, and a line of little but tough Hornets. Out-weighed ten pounds to the man, this line last week stopped the rampaging Choudrant Aggies and held them to one touchdown, despite the factthat the Aggies ran up a total of 18 first downs during the game. The line gave ground grudgingly when out in the middle of the field, but only once did it waver on the goal line. The two games will probably give the fans an excellent pointer on the North Louisiana championship, since by a quirk of the drawings, the two strongest teams in each district are pitted against each other in the first games of the play-off. The winners of these two games should later face each other for the title, with the game probably being played at Tech Field.

such applicants must not have reached the retirement age. The necessary forms may be obtained from Joe B. Merritt, Secretary, Board of U. S. Civil Service Post Office, Ruston, from the Manager, Tenth U.

WOJECKI EXPANDS PRACTICE; NOW AIDING PREP PLAYERS Eddie Wojecki, "Little trainer of the Bulldogs, the Bull- pups, and possessor of several othertitles around Louisiana Tech's athletic department, has been seen sporting a new shirt and tie recently, incidentally one that he is sort of proud of. It came to him from the Choudrant High School football team, as an expression of their appreciation for Eddie's work in helping care for several injured players recently. Wojecki, with one of the most modernly equipped training rooms in this section of the woods, is one of those sort of guys who just can't be sdu doing nothing. Now that he has cleared the Bulldog ranks of all but two injured players, Wiley and Whitman, he just naturally had to expand his activities somewhere. So the little guy sent out invitation to Choudrant, Dubach, and Arcadia high schools as well as others in this neighborhood and told their coaches that he would be glad to help them with their conditioning problems, provided they brougnttheir injured players to histraining room at Tech Stadium Seceral of the boys jumped at the chance it seems and Doc has been busy for several weeks at his pet trade, that of getting kinks out of muscles, and sore spots out of knees and ankles.

Several of the Choudrant Aggies have been treated by him, while a few of the Arcadia Hornets have also made the trip over to Doc Wojecki for treatment. The invitation, it was explained to anyP hi yest3rday the field that will average close to 161 pounds, it is said, with a line totalling around 170 and the backs approximately 148, while the Bearcats will average approximately 148 pounds throughout. The Minden team will be heaviest the Bearcats have faced this year. The entire Bearcat squad will be in first class condition for the game, Coach Plummer announced yesterday, with the injury and sick list clear for the first time in several weeks. He also stated that some new faces will probably be seen in thestarting line-up, with Anderson, 138 pound half back apparently having won that position fro mH.

Jones, 160 pounder. Anderson will getthe call due to his hard driving tactics, although his defense is somewhat weaker than that displayed by Jones. The latter has proven a disappointment to the coaches this year by failing to show the drive he displayed as a scrub last year. He has had flashes of brilliance on defense, notably against Rayville. In addition to Anderson in the backfield, the other positions will probably be filled by Red Brewster at quarter; Hightower and Kolb.

Brewster has been one of the most brilliant backs in North Louisian this year and is expected to continue his work against the Tide. Hightower has about recovered from a bad cold and shold beready to put up the best game of the season Friday, while Kolb has now kicked a Charley horse out of his leg and should give the Tide plenty of trouble with his end runs and punt-runbacks. The center position lies between Captain Jack Terrill and Liner. Terrill's weakness this year has been on defense, the coaches point out, while Liner's trouble has been occasional bad passes. Terrill has been outstanding this year on offense and goal kicking, however, Kiwanis To Meet At Colonial Cafe The Dubach Lumber which operated at Dubach from around 1900 until the late 1920's, went through the final stages of liquidation yesterday in the offices of T.

L. James when the real estate holdings of the company were sold at private auction to the members of the old company. T. L. James, president of the company, acted as auctioneer, and sold approximately 13,000 acres of land, together jvith timber now on the land to various members of theh former board of directors.

Present for the liquidation sales 'were G. W. James, D. R. James, Dan James, F.

B. and G. William James, Mrs. T. L.

James, B. H. Rainwater, Allen Barksdale, V. A. Davidson and P.

M. Davis. The mill and machinery owned by the company were disposed of several years ago when the company became inactive, it was said, with only the land and timber holdings being retained until yesterday. The ames interests acquired the mill early in the 19th century from the old Fred Dubach Lumber after which they expanded its operations considerably untilsome 25 years later, when they ceased operations due to an in-, adequate supply of timber. The sale yesterday involved the 13,000 acres of land, approximately 2,180 acres of timber-land, and $4,500 in notes due the Dubach Lumber company.

The entire tracts of land are located in Union and Lincoln Parishes. President Larry Fox of the Ruston Kiwanis Club today called attention local to the change in meeting place for the regular Thursday luncheon, from the College Inn Cafe to the Colonial Cafe, on North Vienna Street. The time will remain the same, 12:15 p. Mr. Fox stated.

Farley, of Farmerville, was placed in the Ruston-Lincoln Sanitarium yesterday, suffering from a possible fracture of the skull, following an altercation in Farmerville, during which Farley received the injury.
