Season For Tahlequah Friday High school football comes to an end this season for Tahlequah as the Tigers go to Pawhuska Friday for a Verdigris Valley game Both local prep teams were defeated last week Tahlequah by Pryor 26-6 and Sequoyah Indians by Vian 53-8 The game at Vian was the last of the season for the Indians and school authorities hope the last in District 16B competition Diamond Roach superintendent said Wednesday the school would make an effort to have the state athletic association transfer Sequoyah to a district where teams would be more evenly matched 4 problem Hhe superintendent explained was principally one of Undersize boys 140 pounds and under going against teams with players up to 200 pounds The problem is complicated by the fact that the boarding school has a substantial turnover in enrolment each year with the result that teams are made up of many inexperienced players This season the Indians lost all conference encounters although they ran up a pretty good scoring record Their only win was over Kiefer and the only game in which they did not score was 38-0 Pryor took its second game in a row from Tahlequah by exactly the same point spread although this year was no shutout Last year Pryor won 20-0 over the locals Pryor is now tied with Miami 5-1-1 for top spot in the VV league Tahlequah has three wins and three losses in the conference

Before the fall season got down to business with a real old fashioned norther this week wasps or yellowjackets or both were about to take over human habitations in eastern Oklahoma And we were about ready to let them Even mosquitoes became active in the prolonged Indian summer and pursued their stinging skill with renewed vigor But if the wasp clan seemed more interested in the sunshine than in human flesh it was misleading They swarmed by the hundreds maybe thousands in the morning Sunlight and espe cially took to houses and buildings painted white Theyseemed sluggish and invited attack But cornered they proved vicious as ever In fact Luella Bitting out Welling way came up with a report to indicate they were more so She armed herself with a big knife to do battle and cut one of them in half A littlj later she stepped on the stinging half of one of dhe wasps Her sore foot attested to the undimished strength of the stinger with half the body gone Comes a plague of wasps like that of last week or the cricket invasion a few weeks earlier and makes us think that spiders who prey on these pests are the most unappreciated of friends Your dining room down on the farm gets about as much use as the average dining room and therefore as rarely a cleaning Nevertheless we took a look in recently to see how bad it was and if our electric cleaner could do a little good The south door was completely framed with spider webs They were absolutely fabulous in design and detail Our first inclination to tear them down wavered ori second closer look The webs were full of partial carcasses of crickets wasps yellowjackets flies and mosquitoes On the floor lay a few portions of legs or wing3 But the spiders had been doing a thorough job for the most part of cleaning up the pests Their pest destruction was done as neatly as their spinning There was not a spider in sight Respectful of domain they had secluded themselves in secret hideaways when we entered the room They were not out chasing human flesh Spiders just deliberately invade privacy Neither do they sneakingly attack unsuspecting humans Occasionally they are forced in contact with man They do bite a little But seldom is their sting as painful as that of a nasty house fly rarely serious People have to get in their way to be bitten They prefer to do their work in privacy principally -destroying the insect pests which go out in pursuit of man with deadly disease germs and painful sting got a lot of respect for spiders Anything that can take mosquitoes and flies out of circulation is my friend I think time the world began to appreciate these friends of man Set aside a national week or worldwide day to honor and exalt the spider! After being examined by the doctor an old mountaineer was given definite instructions as to what he should do Just as he was about to leave the office the doctor said here you forgot to pay me" yuh fer countered the old hillbilly my professional advice of course" replied the doctor he said up my mind Ah to take Then he promptly left Las!
