What about the Midland Reporter Telegram. They seem to cover Garden City pretty good. MAybe they have some info on those all-star games.
Finally found and bought the 1938 Razzo Dazzo board game Six-Man Football...that's about it

It's beginning to look like that no All-State team was selected for the 1973 season. There is no mention in O'Brein and Gustine yearbooks (1974) of all-state honors but they did list all-district honors for players. But I have a few more trees to shake still.

sounds like maybe a scandal went down?
I did search for the 8 man all state team in 1974 and got some hits. I know back then they played both the 6 man and 8 man all star games the same day. In 1974 it was in Brownwood. I also remember that being selected all-state also meant you were on the all-star team too.
The Spur paper on May 9, 1975 had an article about Bruce Porter of Patton Springs being chosen.
The Harper Herald on May 16, 1975 had an article about the 8 man all-state team.

They kind of had some snarky words about 6 man in the article........
I searched the Brownwood Bulletin on July 20, 1975 and got the following article.
Looks like the game was played that year.
