I did not find that article. The 1935-1939 papers in the Archive are sparse, but I did find this one from 11/7/1940.

There was one previously unrecorded score on the Sylvester-Dowell game.

From the 9/23/1941 edition of the Sweetwater Nolan County News

Same paper, Oct 23, 1943. Highland-Blackwell game. This was the second football game Highland had played.

If you read through the town, or school news sections in the Nolan Co. News you will find some game scores too.

I didn't think either Blackwell or Highland played in 1943...I was always told Higland didn't play until the 50s...and I was always told Blackwell didn't even have a coach for football during WWII

Memory can be fallible.....

The articles on football were sparse during WW2.

The articles on football were sparse during WW2.

I noticed that aswell, The gatesville messenger and star forumn, went to nill during that time.

 

[Knowmystuff]

extra newspapers were usually recycled as everything else was to help the war effort...that would be the key reason why many small town papers would be missing issues during that time period...

it is also the reason why some comic books are so rare!
