ARROWS PLAY TEN FOOTBALL GAMES IN 194 Sullivan's Golden Arrows will play a ten-game football schedule again next year, according to an announcement made by H. C. Gilmore, principal of the high school. There will be no changes in the teams that played the Arrows this year. The only difference in the schedule is that some of the dates have been switched. In addition, the Arrows will appear before the home crowd six times in 1948. The six home games were made possible by. the fact that Vincennes will come to Sportland Field again in 1948. The Alices are trying to rearrange their schedule, and to enable them to get a more balanced home list of games they will visit Sullivan two years in a row. The game with Mhe Bicknell Bulldogs, which was the opening game this year, will be played the last Friday in October next year. The Arrows will open on the road, traveling to Bloomington to meet the Panthers. . The complete schedule: Sept. 10 Bloomington t h t h i Sept. 17 'Washington.. Sept. 24 fGarfield Oct. Oct. Oct.
