Vernon Noses Out Road Bond Clash In County Tilt
Vernon edged Harrold 23 22 in a hard fought county basketball game. Crouch starred for Vernon with the winning points, while Turpen Hale and Harrold’s Crowell also stood out. Officials expect county championship tilts to attract large crowds this week and next. The road bond case judgment favored the county, with an appeal filed seeking a permanent injunction against issuing 150000 in bonds voted March 22, 1924. The suit, first tried June 2, 1924, was refiled, altering judges and commissioners involved.
