Page 4- THE PPIAI RIE PRESS Monday, October 10,1955 DRISCOLL TOPS CUNNINGHAIVI The Driscoll Rangers opened the '55 football season with a 7-6 vic- tory over Cunningham yesterday. The touchdown was made on an intercepted pass caught by Johnny Brown. On the kickoff Driscoll kicked to the 20 and Flores Addie received and ran to the 30, then failed to gain and on the fourth they kicked to the 40 where Fred Gonzalez received and fumbled, then fell on it. Driscoll failed to gain until second when Al- bert Olaverez took a hand-off from Jul- ian Garza and picked up 10 yards. Then Cunningham came back to set us back to our 45. Fourth down and we kicked to 20. On the first down Cunningham quarter back Juan Gon- zalez tried a short pass to the right flat and Johnny Brown intercepted for a T.D. Albert Olivarez fleft halfj point was no good. The kick off is to 20 and Sammy Garza picks it up and gains 15, On first down Julian Garza to Cunningham 45. On first Driscoll sets them back 3 yards. On second a pass to Lee Ford picks up 10, on third another pass is broken up by Johnny Brown.

We was christened Christo- pher Columbus. SOCIETY NEWS Genoa, Italy, 14-79 Christopher Columbus, a former resident of Genoa, now residing in Lisbon is to marry the daughter of Perestrello, also a resident of Lisbon. The bride-to-be will be given away by her father, a navigator, on June 8th at 9:00 A.M. WHAT WILL MAN THING OF NEXT? Lisbon, Italy 184-8 Strange as it may seem Chris- topher Columbus, a navigator from Genoa who has resided here for five years says that he believes that the world is round. As anyone knows, it is flat, but this man has had the nerve to ask the King of Portugal, King Henry VII, of England, and at first he even tried to interest the people of Genoa, where he was born, to give him money, ships and men to help him find a new route to the East. The poor man thinks that by sailing west you can reach the east. When he falls off the edge of the world he'll know he was wrong! Pity the poor man! COLUMBUS OF GENOA TRYING TO FIND ROUTE TO EAST August 2, 194-2, Spain King Ferdinand and Queen Isa- bella have given Christopher Colum- bus ships and men to try to find a route to the east by sailing west. The King and Queen granted him three ships, the Pinta, commanded by Alo- za Pinzor, the Nina, commanded by Vicente Pinzon, and Columbus him- self is commanding the Santa Maria. The expedition is leave tomorrow at dawn. If the shorter route is found it will mean many riches for Spain -if not, a loss. COLUMBUS FINDS NEW ROUTE Spain, 1942 Christopher Columbus and his crew of less than one hundred men re- turned yesterday with news that they had found the new route to the East.

BUT A NEW WORLD! Spain, 1560 Christopher Columbus, the naviga- tor who supposedly found a new 1'oute to India, failed as far the route was concerned. Columbus discovered a rich New World, with no spices but beautiful land of rivers and lakes. The only inhabitants of this new world are savages. Columbus has done much more than he thought. He died in 1506 thinking he discovered a new route to India. Thou Shalt Not Pass Arithmetic is my weakness, I shall not pass. It maketh me to stay home nights and be absent from the show. It leadeth me into room 104. For Mrs. Adkins sake. Yea, thou I walk thru the corridor from her class I shall not be happy. Her sides and angles, they torment me. She shall prepare a place for me in the corner And she shall annoint my head with a dunce cap, My head, it is empty. Surely D's and F's shall follow we all the days of my life And I shall dwell in Mrs. Adkins' class forever, -The Hi-Life, Barron, Wisconsin. BUDDY WHEELIS HARDWARE 'Coastal Bend Top Ten 1.
