Stephenville Yellow Jackets 27-0.
It was the third straight shut-
out for Coach Gordon Wood’s
finely drilled, well-balanced ball
club. The Jackets have not scor-
ed on Brownwood snice the 1963,
12-6 upset victory.
But the Jackets had their mo-
ments, holding the Lions to a
standstill until 4:52 of the second
quarter when Jamefc Hamlett
crawled over from one yard out.
Si Southall, the Brownwood
quarterback, added his first
of two extra pionts.
> Minute Drive
In the second half it was all
Brownwood. After receiving the
second half kick off the Lions
drove 71 yards using 8 minutes
of the clock to go ahead 13-0,
Southall’s placement was wide.
The Lions added seven more
in the third and one in the
fourth.
In the final quarters Stephen-
ville had possession only 14
plays two of these being kick-
ing situations.
However, in the first quarter
and until 4:52 of the second it
was anybody’s ball game. Ste-
phenville came back after the
Brownwood score on the second
possession and drove to flte
Brownwood 29 before a fumble
and a motion penalty stopped
them.
The Lions also had their share
of hard luck in the first half
with one touchdown called back
and a receiver missing a per-
fect strike in the end zone.
Short Yardage
In the second half the Lions
preferred to eat up short
yardage and the fine work of
Southall and Roy Spence kept
the Jackets at bay. The Lions
stopped the Jacket running at-
tack and mesmerized the pass-
ing. This, plus a stout defense,
spelled the difference.
Stephenville won the toss and
chose to receive and marched
from its own 38 to the Brown-
wood 42 before they were held
three yards shy of the first.
Chandler hit Nolan Brandt for a
big gainer in the drive. Chand-
ler booted a 35 yard punt which
I the Lions punched back to the
11. Stephenville held and the
Lions were forced to punt.
OH, ^SO CLOSE—Dale Brock steams
toward the Brownwood four yard line
in the second quartre of Friday night’s
game in Borwnwod. The Jackets were
called for illegal procedure back on
the middle and welted all by
himself in the end zone for Mc-
Mahon’s strike. Scott’s low bo-
nus kick left TSC with a 6-0
lead with 11:50 left in the first
half.
Cheers turned to tears half
way through the second stanza
as tailback Tommy Winn, who
led all ball carriers with 63
yards on 23 carries, had a 29
yard scoring sprint called back
by an offsides flag. Stanley
Moore intercepted McMahon's
pass on the next play and
rammed it 55 yards back down
the Texans* throat to the 17.
On third down from the six,
Marcum found Stansbury lone-
some for the score snd Bill
Childer’s kick give McMurry a
7-6 lead with only 40 seconds
left in the M&L
With the aid of a 15 yard pen-
alty, the Texans took the second
hslf kickoff on the 28 and drove
72 yards to acore in 12 plays.
A McMahon pass to wingback
Bill Kinder got the drive in mo-
tion to the 39 and four plays la-
ter TSC gratefully accepted a
15 yard five against the Indians
after Scott had punted. The
payoff pitch was a 30-yard
beauty to split end Pat Ballow
who had slipped behind Indian
defender Kenneth Deckard in
the end zone. This time Scott’s
kick was blocked, but the 12-7
margin with nine minutes left
was all the Texans needed as
the defense put on a brilliant
Schoolboy Roundup:
Top-Rated Dumas 11
Upset by Pampa, 20-6
By TWfi ASSOC I AT ID PRBSS
Dumas, elevated to the top
position in Class AAA in this
week’s high school football rat-
ngs, suffered its first defeat of
t heseason Friday night, losing
to Class AAA Pampa 20-6.
It also was the first time this
season that Dumas was scored
on. *

display the rest of the way.
McMurry never passed their
own 34 yard line in the last half.
In fact, two plays after the TSC
touchdown, Ronald Mays recov-
ered an Indian fumble on the
34 and the Texans drove to the
one before being stopped on
downs.
Defensive Rampage
Again in the final quarter, de-
fensive tackle Jerry Jones
smacked Marcum and Eddie
Lett recovered for TSC on the
14. A fumble at the aeven th-
warted the Texans this time.
In the last two minutes of play
Texans Roger Smith, Austin
Winter and Kent Donaldson all
played “he’s mine” with Mar-
cum .dropping him for losses
back to the 8 and Tarleton was
content to run out the clock on
the Indian 10.
Ballow and Kinder were Mc-
Mahon’s favorite Argets in the
new-found Tarleton air attack.
Ballow nabbed three for SB
yards and Kinder pulled in five
for 75 yards. Linebacker Dannp
Potts was also outstanding fqr
TSC on defense.
Next Saturday the Texans,
now 1-1 on the season, travel to
Huntsville to play Sam Houston

We’ve heard bucket mouthed railbirds before and then
we’ve Jieard the half dozen or so Brownwood fans that i
insulted the Stephenville coaches and bench Friday night
during the first half — police made them-
selves obvious after the intermission to
quieten the smart alecks down.
llhHi wM This is no attack a^ainst tlie Brownwood
’ fans who are fine partisans and hosts as a
whole — just as all fans are. It’s just that
flHBr fl the handful Friday night was double ob-
noxious.
^flMBr J We’ve heard Stephenville fans throw
SMFak fl down unnecessary remark^ right here at
Memorial Stadium and they didn't sound
MHMBfll any better. We offer no soluiton, but we
Gordon submit this: the person who criticizes
McCullough schoolboy athletes and coaches loud and
strong in the stands — obviously bidding for attention —
is unworthy of the title “fan.” If you have to make that
kind of noise go to the Cowboy games at the Cotton Bowl,
they’re professionals.

Again the Jackets loqked like
they might have an upaet in
the making as Chandler hit
John Brock on the third play of
the drive for 13 yards and
Chandler hit Dale Brock for a 7
yarder to the Brownwood 28,
but on the next play Chandler
fumbled to the Lions with Rollin
Hunter recovering.
Anderson Recovers
Brownwood made its first
move that ended up on the
Jacket 28 before a fumble by
Fenton was picked up by Jim
Anderson. The first quarter end-
ed (M>.
Stephenville went from the 21
to 31 before they were forced
to kick and Chandler lofted a
high one to Fowler at the 37.
From here the Lions, with
Fowler, Spence and Southall
showing the way passing and
running moved to the Jacket
goal line. Southall hit Ratliff
for 27 to keep the drive going
and he hit Hunter from the 27 to
the 14. Hamlett went up the
middle for 10 and two plays lat-
er Hamlett crawled 1 over to
break the scoring ice.
After two punt exchanges,
which backed Brownwood deep leah Park
in their own territory and back
to back 15 yard penalties, one of
which nullified a touchdown.
The Jackets made their only
serious threat David Hale inter-
cepted a Southall pass at about
midfield and returned to the
Brownwood 36.
Jackets on Four
Walker got three on the first
play and Chandler hit Dale
Brock for seven more. Chandler
sneaked the first down and a
sweep by Brock ended up on the
Brownwood four but the Jackets
were penalized for motion, kill-
ing the drive.
Brownwood’s big move came
in the third as they hit for two
scores. The first a 70 yard, 15
play drive. Fowler, Fenton and
Hamlett doing the dirty work
and Fenton got the tally.
The first play following the
kickoff Spence picked off a
Chandler pass at the 25 return-
ing to the 16. Two plays later
Wall skipped 16 yards for the
score making It 20-0.

Sophomore X D. McMahon mah*a droam aiJte drifted into
started his first game at quar-
terback for Tarleton State Sat-
urday and responded with 13
completions in 24 attempts, 194
yards and two touchdowns as
the Texans fought past Mc-
Murry 12-7 before a good crowd
at Memorial Stadium.
While McMahon and a corps
of sticky fingered receivers
were handling the offensive
chores, the TSC defense was
whipping the Indians offense in-
to submission. The Indians from
Abilene finished the night with
five first downs and 94 yards
total offense,

Both teams turned intercep-
tions into first half touchdowns
in the rugged battle of front
line defenses.
After a scoreless first quarter
that featured a booming chess
game of punts between Tarle-
