PAVTON CHILD IS BURNED PATNFW LY TUESDAY MORNING David Dale, the five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Junior Matney, of Paxton suffered severe and painful burns about the face and arms Tuesday morning when his mother used gasoline to start the fire to prepare breakfast for the family. The young child was standing near and received the full force of the blast when the gasoline exploded.' , . Mrs. Matney received .slight burns. Dr. Brown of Carlisle treated the boy. ,c. -a the Arrow offensive showing up in recent games has been their aerial offensive. Jack Turpen and Dean Brodie have been on the throwing end with Lee Russell and Byron Thrasher, Arrow ends, doing the receiving. Even during; a heavy downpour of rain in the Wiley game at Terre Haute two weeks ago, the local team completed almost 50 per cent of their attempted passes. The Alices this season have turned back every opponent by decisive scores with the exception of Reitz of Evansville, who nosed them out by one touchdown to take the lead in the SIAC race. A team of veteran players, the Vincennes aggrega-i tion holds a decided weight advantage besides experience over the Arrows. Their backfield consists of four good all-around men, all of whom are adept at passing, running or blocking. Coach Jones is pinning - his hopes on some of his first year men for this game. Harold Kellems, who took over the right tackle position early in the season, has been coming along steadily and Calvin HJediek,' sophomore fullback, has drawn attention to himself in recent games by an aggressive attitude which makes up for much of his inexperience. Robert Southwood and Bill McCrocklin, two of the more experienced members, are expected to provide their usual pain-in-the-neck for the Alices, on defense.
