10 yards on each carry. The gap-
ping holes were being opened up by
David Brown, J. C. Carothers and
Butch Biehle. Patschke carried in
for the first score from 3 yards out.
With 2:06 left in the half Butch
Bichle intercepted a screen pass on
the 30 yard line and was stopped
there. The Eagles gained some 10
yards on three plays and with less
than a minute left in the half quar-
terback Gary Jordan faked a run and
found his right end Robert Drosche
all alone and hit him for 21 yards and
the second Eagle touchdown, Frosch
kicked and the Eagles went into the
dressing room enjoying a 14 point
lead.
The Eagles elected to receive at the
half and returned the kick-off to the
40 yard line from there Frosch and
Patschke found big holes in the line
and drove the ball for the third score
with Frosch carrying the last 2
yards. Later in the second quarter
one of the Bulldogs fumbled the ball
again and this time Clarence Mc-
Dowell covered it, so the Eagles a-
gain started their workhorse crew of
Patschke and Frosch, with Frosch
getting the last 9 yards and the TD.
Again Frosch kicked and the Eag-
lese now enjoyed a 28 to nothing lead.
At this time the Eagles using re-
serves played some 3 to 4 minutes
until Clarence McDowell intercepted
a pass and the Eagles were in busi-
ness again on their own 40 yard line.
On this drive big hunks of yardage
were chewed up by Ronnie Richter.
Quarterback Jordan carried it in
from the 4 and Frosch missed his
extra point kick. Now the Eagles en-
joyed a 34 - 0 lead. With the re-
serves still in the Bulldogs started a

Warning Issued To
Livestock Owners
Assistant County Agent. T. A. Mc-
Donald has stated that the Screw
Worm Eradication Program is in jeo-
pardy. largely due to the fact that
many livestock owners, have relaxed
their vigilance in the regular in-
spection of their herds for the screw
worm menace.
An active case has recently been
confirmed in Fayette County, and it
is believed that the prolonged wet
season in that area was a contribut-
ing factor to the out break.
Livestock owners and producers
are urged to make regular inspection
of their herds and to report any signs
of screw worms infesting their stock.
The personnel of the Lee County A-
gent's office in Giddings is available
for advice and assistance. Those de-
siring information and literature on
the eradication program may receive
same by writing The Screw Worm
Eradication Laboratory, Mission, Tex.

self through us calling forth
the best in others, making it
a happy day for all.
