Upsets in football pool hit Pecos area contest
Upsets such as Kermit over Fort Stockton and Seminole's win over Andrews frustrated entrants in last week's football contest. Only 50 participants entered with no perfect predictions as at least one game was misguessed. Ken Garlitz announced a Pecos tennis club forming a racquet group with meetings, matches, tips, a player directory, and possible city tournaments. A Sunday meeting is planned at 4 p.m. at the community center. The $5 prize from last week plus this week's $5 brings the pot to $10. Among last week's entries, 36 percent missed the Pecos Eagles game, with the biggest errors on Kermit Fort Stockton and Seminole Andrews.
