be hometown Eagles 25-7.
Halfway through the first
quarter, a Marble Falls fumble
was recovered on the ten yard
line to set the Eagles up for
their first and only score. Quar-
terback Johnny Johnson ac-
counted for the TD on a sweep
around left end from about four
yards out. Johnson kicked the
extra point.
Felix Ribera led the Mustangs
into battle. The 116-pound back
scored two of the winning
touchdowns, one in the second
quarter on a five-yard run, apd
the other on the third kick-off
return for 75 yards.
David Nesrsta scored at the
end of the third quarter for
Marble Falls, and Holland Les-
ter came back in the last period
to put in the final Mustang
score, a short two-yard drive
The Eagles’ blocking and
tackling! went downhill in the
last half of the ball game, to
account for the one-sided score.
Les Johnson, head coach, feels
that bis boys need to work
more on the fundamentals of
the game, and will concentrate
more on that phase during
practice sessions this week.
Johnson said the Eagles played
real fine during the first half.
