In 1940 it was the same temas but with Tuscola winning the district (district 20).
OBK...I think you are getting confused with the 1939 season...it was that year that Elmdale looked into playing in a non-uil district with teams from that area but never formed a team, and 2 preseaon articles were written about them playing, one even listing them in a schedule...but they never played a game....in fact I am 100% sure you are confused and are thinking about 1939...here are some articles:
Abilene Reporter News, Tuesday Morning, 9-26-39, page 6..."Elmdale Organizes 6-man Football"
ARN, Wed. Morning, 9-27-39, page 2..."County 6-Man Loop to Open Season Oct. 6"...teams listed in this article with a schedule for the league are: Ovalo, Lawn, Elmdale, Tuscola, Wylie, and ACC Academy.
ARN, Sat. Morn., 10-7-39, page 3..."Lawn Winner in Six-Man Inaugural"...article details Lawn's 19-0 win and says a crowd of 500 was at the game.
ARN, Fri. Morn., 10-13-39, page 3...article about the Taylor Co. 6man league's games for the week including Ovalo @ Tuscola and ACCA @ Wylie, and Lawn @ Eula...so Eula joined the league before the season began apparently.
ARN, Sat. Morn., 10-14-39, page 2..."Ovalo Six Tags Tuscola, 22-6"...article recaps the Ovalo game and gives the district standings: Lawn 2-0, Ovalo 1-0, ACC 1-0, Tuscola 1-1, Eula 0-1, Bradshaw 0-1, Wylie 0-2. This proves that Eula entered into the league and Elmdale never was in the league.
ARN, Sat. Morn., 11-25-39, page 2..."Ovalo Takes County 6-man Football Title"...Ovalo beats Tuscola 38-20 for the title in a night game at Hardin-Simmons....a few weeks later the ARN published the Ovalo team photo.
