What was the date for your article? There is a small town newspaper site that has the Twin Cities News archived fir the years 1981-1984, 1986-1989, 1990, 1992, and 2004.
In the 9/30/1971 edition of the Comanche Chief, on page 8, was a small article about a book on the history of Sidney football written by William S. Caffey, then of Abernathy. The book was titled "The Sidney Community, Vol 1: A football Score Sheet, 1940-1970."
Any of you Sidney denizens with access to the school library can look and see if your school library or the Comanche County library has a copy of this book. It will have a lot of data to fill in the missing gaps in the early years of the school football history.

I checked the Comanche Public library and came up dry.
Ah, then you have a copy available then. I've been digging through the Chief in the Archive the last month and for a local paper, they sure ignored the rest of the county schools teams, even DeLeon. I was hoping he had some of the WW2 gaps filled......
I've been finding more missing Gustine/Comyn/Sipe Springs scores in the Chief than Sidney.

Most likely becuase its in Comanche, which is the County seat
I have found that most things of old start where the county seat is.Just like Gatesville is for Coryell County.

I wonder what current resident would say if you clipped that out and mailed a dollar to the address and requested a copy?
I bet it would be worth the 1.50$ you would spend

I did do a search on Chaparral press abernathy texas and have come to the conclussion that Caffey owned or worked there. You will see alot of publications by him on the Caffey Clan, Stewart Clan and other subjects. Just not that partcular one.
I bet someone in lubbock\Hale county has a copy of it...

I read it I still think it would be funny to send $1 to the address.

It just might.....If it is a working address.
The Archive just added that paper in the last couple of weeks. It's the next one on my mining list.
The ones in the archive won't have any Comyn scores. it starts in 1954. Comyn stopped playing football long before that, and I think they consolidated with Deleon in 1952 or so....
