There have, been no ties.
' The Red Devils proved to be one
of the strongest defensive and of­fensive
squads ever turned out by
Coach Bill Ashley. In actual play
the Preeporters won 7 games and
tied 1, against Lawrence. - They
amassed a total of 1S9 points, 133
in their last four games, white
allowing the opposition only 32
points. The Devils blanked their
opponents In three games and tin
team scored more than one touch-down

coming when the reseiTea were on
the field for experience. Conse­quently
the Redb and Whites have

you think I" Most folks have a
tendency to wait until Ztecember
rolls around before they give their

The Po'stinaster further suggested
that rlghl now is the. time to take
the following steps: Check your
Christmas card lists very caiefully
— make sure that each address In­cludes
the 'full- name street and
number, citj-, zone and state.
To help you plan your early
Christmas mailing; the Postmaster
suggessted that you secure from
the .Post Office Pamphlet Ko. 2,
which tells all about Packaging and
Wrapping Parcels" lor Mailing, ~and
Pamphlet .,1^6, 3. giving lull details
on ^Domestic Postage Rates and
TPees. .
Also, ask for free'laliels reading,
"All For Local Dillvcry" and '^AU
