There are a few injuries, but Coach Jim Webb of the Seminole Chieftains hopes to have a full roster of players ready to take on the Holdenville Wolverines Friday night in the Chiefs’ first district contest of the 1971 season.

Action is slated for 8 p.m. at Seminole’s Chieftain stadium.

This week the Chiefs are preparing for the Wolves, who so far this season haven’t lost a game. The Chiefs stand 1-0-1, having tied with Pauls Valley last week 13-13.

Coach Webb said that the Chiefs are stressing defense this week in practice. “We know that Holden ville will be running a lot of offensive plays against us, so we’ve changed our practice schedule this week to get in more defense,” Webb explained.

Mrs. Lewis Sligar, president of Prairie Valley Homemakers, was Monday afternoon hostess to the group. Group singing was led by Mrs. L. E. Davis. The flag salutation was led by Mrs. H. A. McCombie who also offered prayer.

Roll call was made by the secretary, Mrs. Ruby Jarvis. Members answered by describing their wall decorating problems. A “thank you” card was read from Mrs. Gladys Busby in acknowledgment of the gift she received before she moved to Kansas.

Three ditty bags for servicemen overseas at Christmastime were turned in, it was reported. The group received 12 dollars in winnings on the group booth at the recent county fair.

The lesson titled “Wall Hangings” was given by Mrs. Johnny Shoemaker with several others showing wall hangings or pictures. Many new ideas were introduced by viewing the beautiful wall decorations in the home of the hostess. Several of these had been sent to Mrs. Sligar from her sons while they were serving in the military.
