BORGER, Nov. 15 (AP) - Oscar Ferrell, 15, was killed and two other Borger junior high school students injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday.
The injured are Jan Lipps and Joe Dean Little, both 14.
The three boys were riding on Ferrell's motorcycle on one of the runways at the new Hutchinson County airport, north of here. They apparently did not see the end of the runway and the motorcycle sailed an estimated 100 feet into the air and down into a canyon.

The Reaper-Borger junior high game scheduled for Wednesday in Harvester Park was rescheduled for 3 o'clock Friday afternoon in Pampa, Coach Marvin Bowman said.
The game was postponed because of the death of one of Borger's players, Oscar Ferrell. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in Borger Tuesday.
The contest Friday will be the last game of the season for Coach Bowman's gridsters.
