THE YELLOW JACKET

Howard Payne Edges
Stephen F. Austin 12-6
Howard Payne scored two Robert Jackson banging
first half touchdowns and through tackle 5 yards for
4lir aimmA rff n rlncrwit
Lumberjack rally to mark up
their second win in a row
12-6.
The Yellow Jackets ran all
over Stephen F. Austin the
first half and it looked like it
might be a run-away but 100
yards in penalties 90 of which
came the first half and four
first half fumbles kept Ho-
ward Payne down.
The Jackets fumbled the
ball eight times losing five in
the game.
Despite these fumbles thei
the score. Cromartic's kick
was again wide and the
Jackets led 12-0 with 5:50
left in the half.
Late in the second period
Johnny Baskin made a fine
run of 38 yards to the Stephen
F. Austin 2 yard line. 40 sec-
onds showed on the clock
when the Jackets received a
5 yard penalty that set them
back to the 7. Brown Smith
took a lateral and headed for
what looked like another six-
pointer but the officials ruled
his knee touched in on the six

Howard Payne offense show- j" line and that was the
ed signs of power and an
over-all smoothness much
better than in any other game.
The Jackets ground out a
net 331 yards rushing and
added 44 more by the airlanes
on 3 completions of 5 thrown.
They piled up 19 first downs
to 9 for the Axemen.
Three straight penalties set
the Jackets deep in their own
territory early in the first
period. A punt good for only
29 yards set the Lumberjacks
in business on the Howard
Payne 35. Four plays later
facing fourth down and about
a half yard needed the right
side of the Jacket line rose up
to cut down the Lumberjacks.
Howard Payne then rolled
for 75 yards with crunching
ground power stymied now
and then by a penalty but the
Jackets were not to be denied
as Joe Cruse blasted the final
ten yards into paydirt. A
third down pass from Walls
to Harris good for 13 yards
set up the final burst. Cro-
martie's try for point was
wide.
In the second stanza Ho-
ward Payne stil controlling

Stephen F. Austin came
back with their axes swinging
the second half and after re-
covering one of the Jackets
8 fumbles on the 42 drove to
the HPC 5. Facing a fourth-down-one
situation Cecil El-
kins stopped the ball carrier
for no gain.

At Initial Meet
The Lumberjacks again re-
covered a fumble on the HPC
34 and this time went all the
way with Votto Gaddis pitch
ing to Stanley Cruse for an
8 yard TD. Gaddis try for
point was blocked by Leach.
Early in the fourth the
Lumberjacks held a Jacket
drive on their 19 yard line
and drove to the Howard
Payne 13 before Cecil Elkinsi
recovered a fumble to kill the
threat with 7:15 still remain-
ing. Although the Jackets of-
fense really clicked for the
lirst time this season it was
the Jackets tremendous line
play on offense as well as de-
fense that paved the wav for
victory. I
Cecil Elkins played a trem
endous game and Don Dendy
was not far behind. Bill Har-
ris Rex Tindall Ralph Bul-
lard Stanley Cobb and Har-
old Garms also came in for
their share of the glory.
Bob Hurst David Walls
and Joe Cruse were the top
secondary defensive hands.
This week the Jackets stay
at home to entertain Eastern
New Mexico's Greyhounds.
Howard Payne will for the
first time this year be a de-
finite favorite.
