Brownfield Deals Lobos 1st District Jolt, 27-13
Brilliant Defensive Game Nets Cubs Victory; Joe Swan
Stars As Greer's Eleven Keeps Undefeated Record
Unleashing a fury bom of three
seasons of losing football, Brown-
field’s opportunist Cubs rolled
on toward their longed for hour
of .glory at Lobo stadium Friday
nigm, pausing only long enough
to be tabbed 27 to 13 winers over
the Levelland Lobos.
The strong Brownfield eleven
had the mark of champion stamp-
ed al over them as they made
their own breaks and then cap-
italized on them before a throng
of some 6,000 fans..

than half of the
no rout. The Lo-
few long reaches a-
they never found the
arms long enough to reach that
far.
It was exactly the game that
had been tabbed for Loboland by
sportscasters and prognosticators
last week. Here were two teams
amazingly evenly matched, right
down to the size of their shoe-
strings. In he final analysis they
played the same type of football,
got the same typ^ of breaks, and
almost gained the same yardage.
But the deciding factor, as one of
Levelland’s coaches had pointed
out last week, was preparedness
and the will to win.
Many of the fans who sat in
the stands and watched the Cubs
tackle viciously, were unaware of
the even terms on which these
two teams battled. They were
unaware because the Cubs took
advantage of their breaks while
the Lobos saw their real chances
slip away.
The type of break employed to
advantage by the fighting char-
ges of Coach Toby Greer was
evident in nearly every scoring
play. Late in the first quarter,
just after Levelland had garner-
ed a first down deep in their own
territory, a fierce Cub tackle jar-
red LaVon McAuley and the pig-
skin popped out of his hands.
Right Tackle Dean Murphy was
the lad who turned opportunist
for that play. He had the ball re-
covered before it even hit the
ground and would have gained
down to the Lobo two yard line
had he not stepped out of bounds
on the 19.
The Lobos tightened to throw
big Howard Swan for a two yard
loss, but Donnie Boyd uncorked
the Cubs’ first aerial to Joe Don
Auburg for a seven yard gain.
Then little Joe Swan, perhaps the
Cubs’ outstanding star, outraced
the Lobo defense to catch a float-
ing pass and go over the Lobo
goal unmolested. Swan misled
his attempt to run
point.
The second brea|
by the Cubs was al
5 t^Ms
midway in the second
the unhappy fate
the suddenness of a
Harold Phelan corn-
pitted a four yard jump pass to
Frank Burnett on the Levelland
30. Burnett caught it, turned
and took one step, and was near-
ly jarred out of his shoes by a
Brownfield tackier. He and the
ball became uncoupled and this
time it was Jerry Bailey who
grabbed the ball befort it hit the
ground.. Again the passing skill
of Boyd paid off. He'chunked an
eight yard strike to Auburg on
the 46. Levelland threw Ander-
son for a two yard loss. Bingo!
Joe Swan raced into the flats and
again unguarded, grabbed a neat
floating pass for the 18 yard
touchdown run.
Late ill the second quarter
Levelland roared back. Burnett
and McAuley chased Doyle Brad-
ley back to his 20 yard line as he
attempted to punt on fourth
down. The kick was blocked and
McAuley recovered for the Lobos
on the 5. Two plays later, aided
by a key block from Langford
Sneed, Phelan skirted left end for
the score. McAuley’s kick for
the extra point was good and the
Lobos trailed, 13-7.
Then the Levelland crew made
its “key” mistake of the game.
Gambling to get back to an
“even” game before the hart,
Sneed faked for a pass late in the
quarter. Boyd intercepted and
raced to the Lobo 11. Here How-
ard Swan was thrown for a six
yard loss and center Max Black
was thrown out of the game for
slugging. Boyd took the snap
from center, faded to pass, and
as the time ran out he looped an
easy touchdown .pass into the
waiting arms of Auburg. Ander-
son ran the extra point over and
the half was over with the Cubs
leading, 20-7.
Brownfield’s fourth touchdown
was again the result of a fumble
in the Lobo backfield. The Cubs
recovered a fumble on the Lobo

12 midway in the third period. In
the next series of downs Brown-
field fumbled two times, but cen-
ter Jack Lucas recovered H.
Swan’s fumble over the goal line
for the touchdown. Again And-
erson racked up the extra point.
Substitute Kenley Fortner, a
replacement for Phelan, who had
been injured, guided the Lobos to
their ffnal score on the only sus-
tained drive of the game. Fort-
ner ran a punt back to his own 44.
From here, in four first downs,
the Lobos moved to a score, aided
by a 26 yard pass to James Pierce,
an 11 yard run by Ge^fge Branch
and a nine yard chum by Mc-
Auley. The Lobo fullback tallied
the six-pointer on a two yard
smash through center, but his
kick for point was slightly wide.
The Lobos roled up yardage al-
most at will in the final quarter.
It wasn’t necause Coach Greer
had substituted second-stringers
either. It wasn’t that kind of a
game. Both coaches kept as many
first stringers in the fray, as they
deemed necessary. But the Lev-
elland crew rolled up 124 yards
in that final canto, 66 via the air
lanes.’ But they struck with too
little, too late.
Yet, a glance back through the
game reveals how close those few
"breaks” came to being Level-
land’s. The Lobos recovered a
fumble on the Cub 34 on the first
play of the game, but a costly 15
yard penalty stopped them. A
minute later they recovered an-
other fumble on the Cub 15 but
a fumble of their own stopped
them on the nine.
Yet another time in the first
quarter the Levelland spark was
revived as Phelan tossed a four
yard jump pass to Pierce who
galloped 61 yards to a touchdown.
It was called back on a backfield
in motion penalty.
On the H. Swan fumble in the
end zone, a Lobo defender was
just a split second late as another
Cub recovered the ball for the
touchdown. In the same period,
Sneed toted the leather on a 27
yard run to the Brownfield 5, but
a penalty also nullified this gain
and halted the drive.
The final miscue of the evening
saw the Lobos drive toward a
third touchdown midway in the
fourth quarter. They rammed to
the 14 where a pass was com-
plete to Pierce fot two long
strides. Then he dropped it.
These breaks cost the Lobos a
ball game, but at the same time
gave Brownfield fans the right to
be proud of their opportunist
Cubs. These boys are rolling to-
ward a district championship and'
from their performance in Lobo
stadium, their claim seems justi-
fied.
