The winner of Football Contest No. 1 and Football Contest No. 2 will be announced in the Sunday, Sept. 12 issue of the Van Zandt News.

The contest pages for Contest No. 3 can be found in the middle of the sports section in this issue of the Van Zandt News.

The rules of the contest are as follows: In each advertiser’s space on the page is the name of the two teams (high school, college or pro) who will oppose each other in the coming week.

You should circle the name of the team you believe will win in each ad. The person selecting the most correct games for that week will be the winner.

Winners each week will receive $50 worth of coupons redeemable at the participating merchants’ stores or payable on bank loans only with participating banks. The coupons cannot be exchanged for cash or deposited as cash.

Entries must be turned into the Van Zandt News offices before 4:30 p.m. Thursday preceding the games.

You can also mail in your entry at P. O. Box 577, Canton, Texas 75103 or P. O. Box 60, Wills Point, Texas 75169.

In the event of a tie, the “tie-breaker” game will decide the winner. The correct winning team must be selected and the person closest to the winning margin is the winner.

If the “tie-breaker” game fails to break the deadlock, the coupons will be divided equally among the winners. Winners are limited to no more than two wins during the football contest season.

There is a limit of two entries per family per week. Multiple entries must be submitted separately. The decisions by the judges are final.
