Cards Meet East Texas State
Cards Lose Conference
AIEE Plans
Opener To Lumberjacks
The Cardinals suffered
defeat in its Lone Star
Conference opening game
at the hands of the SFA
Lumberjacks 26-18. Sta-
tistics proved both teams
fairly equal in offensive
play; however, a fumble
ana pass interception
killed important Cardinal
scoring drives at strategic
moments in the game.
Lamar Tech drew first
blood after the opening
kickoff, driving 58 yards to
score without losing the
ball. Quarterback Charles
Starcke passed 4 yards to
halfback Ronnie Walker
for the touchdown, but
Raymond Meyer's kick
was wide.
Following Lamar's score
SFA came back with its
first score of the fray on a
Educational Bureau
Designs New Tests
Lamar Tech is privileged
to be one of the several
hundred colleges through-
out the nation asked by the
Educational Test and Ser-
vice Bureau to participate
in a series of examinations
designed to evaluate the
program of freshman test-
ing, announced Dean O. B.
Archer today.
Seven freshman boys and
eight freshman girls will
be numbered among the
thousand who will take part
in this new effort at eval-
uation.
Dean Archer also asked
that all Lamar students
note that the daily schedule
of classes also carries the
hours designated for final
one yard plunge by full-
back Don Davis. Quarter-
back Votto Gaddis added
his first of two conver-
sions after the score—
ending the first quarter
play 7-6 in favor of SFA.
Before half time, one of
the thrilling plays of the
night occurred when Gad-
dis ran back a 76 yard
Meyer's punt. After a
series of plays he scored
but failed on the extra
point try. Half time end-
ing: SFA 13, Lamar 6. I
Ronnie Walker scored the
only marker of the 3rd
quarter after the kick off
by racing around right end
for 19 yards and pay dirt.
Don Andrews' try for the
extra point failed. Play
ending 3rd quarter: Lamar
13, SFA 13.
It was during an impor-
tant drive that Lamar lost
the ball on a pass inter-
ception at mid field in the
4th quarter. Following a
pass interception by Bruce
Bradshaw, SFA drove for
another score. Gaddis
once more carried the ball
over and kicked the extra
point.
A fumble by quarterback
George Parks of the Cards
gave SFA the ball on
Lamar's 34 yard line from
which point Ken Davis ran
25 yards to the Lamar nine
and Don Davis carried the
ball over from there for
the last Axmen’s score.
Gaddis failed in the extra
point try.
The Cards charged back
in the fading seconds to
score on a o5-yard drive
with Parks carrying over
from the one. Finalscore:
SFA 26, Lamar 18.

To avoid confusion to-
ward the fall term, Dean
Archer advised that stu-
dents keep the daily sche-
dule, planning now for
final examination times.

Redbirds Seek
Second Victory
Lamar Te ch plays the
first of three games at
home this Saturday night
against East Texas State
College of Commerce.
This will be the fourth
start of the season for
each team and the second
Conference game of 1956
schedule. Both clubs need
a victory to stay in the
race for the Lone Star
crown, owned currently
by Southwest Texas, Sam
Houston State, and East
Texas State combined.
Both clubs tasted defeat
last week in hard fought
contests with Howard Pay-
ne and Stephen F. Austin
Colleges. It was the third
loss in as many starts for
the Lions, who had dropped
tilts to Southwestern, La.,
and Abilene Christian
prior to the Howard Payne
clash. The Cardinal re-
cord of one win, one tie,
and one loss, is not quite
so dark. Last week's
t h r i ller with the Stephen
F. Austin Lumberjacks
was a tight contest which
the injury ridden Cardi-
nals dropped on two mis-
cues...a pass interception,
and a 76 yard punt return,
resultingin two Axmen
tallies
Coach J. V. Sikes of the
Lions brings a light oppon-
ent to town as compared
to the teams which Lamar
has met so far this season.
The Cardinals show an
overaU weight average of
196, eight pounds heavier
than the Lions.
Coach J.B. Higgins "cri-
pple" list has increased
even above the number of
first stringers that miss-
ed, or saw limited action
during the Stephen F.
Austin contest.
All is not pessimism on
the Cardinal staff due to
the good show of offensive
strength, both on and above
the ground, that the Cardi-
nals displayed in the Ste-
phen F. Austin affair. The
Redbirds moved at will
against the Jack ground
defense, and scored their
last touchdown on a series
of almost continous aerial
plays.
East Texas comes to town
boasting a perfect record
of five wins in as many
contests with the Redbirds.
