WESLEY PANTHERS WILL CLAW ALL-STARS
    The Wesley student body will have a chance to get "pepped up,"
and the Panthers will have an opportunity of demonstrating the
sharpness of their claws when the Wesley Panther team meets an
all-star aggregation (of former Wesley players) led by S. M.
(Monkey) Meeks at the Hunt County Fair today (Thursday).
    Every Wesley student is expected to be on the fair grounds
Thursday evening for this, the initial game of the Wesley football
season, where he will become familiar with the talent and the ability
of his own team, the Panthers, and where he will absorb a
strong feeling of loyalty toward the team.
    While Coach Ward will not have his team picked until shortly
before the encounter, Meeks has been busy assembling his men
and is assured of a powerful grid machine when the whistle, announcing
the beginning of the game, is blown.
    Some of those who will line up with Captain Meeks against the
Panther eleven are John Brooks of Greenville, whose quickness of
mind proved valuable to high school and Wesley College; Johnnie
Doyle, of Celeste, lively half-back; Curtis Meeks, 210 pound end,
brother of "Monkey," who is expected to prove a true football brother
of the captain; Quinn Sessions, husky end, who never failed to
do his part in his career as a player on the junior college football
squad; Hubert Goodman, an ex-Panther that fought many hard
fights while on the Wesley team; "Monkey" Meeks, known by all students
on the Wesley campus last year for his speed and
alertness of mind.

**  I believe my Uncle Jimmy Roach said that Johnnie Doyle was a fine
athlete.
    I believe Uncle Jimmy said that there were other Doyle brothers.
    Wonder what happened to Coach Meeks and Johnnie Doyle?
