Conference Win
Canadian's Wildcats bounced back into the win column last
Friday night with a 7-6 conference victory over the McLean Tigers
at McLean, coining from behind late in the third quarter of the
game to squeeze out a one-point lead.
The Tigers had taken the lead in the ball game late in the sec-
ond quarter, when Paul Garvin crashed over center from the 1
yard line for a touchdown; but David Woods' place-kick for the
extra point was wide and the Tigers were out in front 6 to 0 at
the half.
cLean Tigers 7 to 6 Friday
The Wildcats climaxed a 51-
yard marcih late in the third
quarter with a touchdown by
Garner Schoenhals from one yard
out, and Johnny Grist smashed
over the middle oí the line for
the extra point to break the tie.
The two touchdown drives
marked the only serious threats
by either team, although the
Wildcats rolled up 201 net yards
on the ground and racked up 10
first downs while holding the
Tigers to a net of 95 yards from
scrimmage and 8 first downs.
Wildcat aerial defenses were
effective throughout the game,
and the potent McLean air-at-
tack fell flat. Freddie Smith, the
deep man in the Tiger single-
wing attack, attempted 11 passes
and completed 5, but accounted
for only 32 yards through the
air. His longest completion was
"for 15 yards, another netted 14,
and the remaining three were
completed for a total gain of
only three yards.
Smith was smothered for cost-
ly losses on several pass at-
tempts, and had six long tosses
batted away by the alert Wild-
cat defenders.
Smith, however, was the big-
gest single threat in the Tiger
backfield, and accounted for a
big share of McLean's 95 yards
on the ground as he made ef-
fective use of the option play
when his pass receivers were bot-
tled up to race around the ends
or slice off tackle for good gains.
After a ragged first half in
which they managed to roll up
only one first down, the Wild-
cats came to life and dominated
the game for the final 24 min-
utes of play, holding the Tigers
to a net gain of 19 yards on the
ground (and 15 in the air) and a
total of 2 first downs in the final
two quarters while they rolled
up 142 yards and 9 first downs.
After one drive had fizzled
with a fumble on the Tiger 29
yard line early in the third per-
iod, the Wildcats regained pos-
session after a Tiger punt on

the series was a 12-yard off-
tackle smash by Johnny Grist
which carried to the 9. Bunny
Crowell hit the opposite side of
the line for 8 yards and Garner
Schoenhals slashed over right
tackle for the final yard and the
touchdown, with Grist crashing
through center for the extra
point.
Garner Schoenhals staged the
second longest run of the game
late in the fourth quarter when
he smashed off left tackle for 25
yards and a first down on the
Tiger 47, and the Wildcats were
driving inside the McLean 30
yard line when the game ended.
Longest gain of the evening
was made in the second period
by Wildcat Quarterback Tommy
Hobdy, who circled left end on
an effective bootleg play and
raced 30 yards for the only Wild,
cat first down in the initial per-
iod, but a fumble two plays later
halted the drive, and an ex-
change of punts set the stage
for the Tiger touchdown.
A 7-yard punt into the wind off
the toe of Bunny Crowell gave
the Tigers possession on the Ca-
nadian 30 yard line and the Ti-
gers, rolling quickly to beat the
half-time gun, covered the dis-
tance in just five plays. |

Rattlers Idle, Clarendon-Memphis
Game Holds Week-end Sportlight
Stinnett's Rattlers continued
to roll in impressive fashion
last Friday night as they blast-
ed the strongly-rated Leiors
Pirates 46 to 13 in a confer-
ence game at Stinnett.
The Rattlers, undefeated this
season and on top of the District
1-A conference race, took a 27-
point lead in the first quarter of
Friday night's big game, gave
up 13 points to the Pirates in the
second period, then put the game
on ice with another three touch-
downs in the third quarter.
The Rattíers struck three times
through the air, Keatle passing
for two touchdowns . . . one a
38-yard toss to Atherton, and
another for 35 yards to Ramsey
. . . and George Body passing
for 40 yards to Thompson for the
final TD; and completed their
Panhandle's Panthers, tied
with Lefors for fifth place in the
loop standings, were idle last
week-end.
Canadian Wildcat "B" gridders
played a 14-14 tie with the
Wheeler Mustang "B" team here
Thursday night in the second
game of a double-header at
Wildcat Stadium.
A 20-yard touchdown sweep
around right end by Miles, fol-
lowed by a successful conversion,
brought the Mustang reserves
from behind in the final thirty-
seconds of play to tie up the
ball game at 14-all.
The Wildcats took an early
lead midway in the opening
quarter of the game on a sensa-
tional 52-yard pass play from
Dennis Hill to William Adcock
to Merland Clapper. Hill's long
pass intended for Adcock, was
taken on the 15-yard line by
Adcock but bounced out of his
arms* and Clapper, racing in on
the play, snatched the ball out
of the air and raced into the end
zone for the score. The Wildcats
converted and led 7 to 0 at the
half, with neither team threaten-
ing during the second period.
The Mustangs halted a Cana-
dian threat and tied up the ball
game on the final play of the
third quarter, however, when
Satterfield intercepted Dennis
Hill's pass on the Wheeler 10-
yard line and raced 90 yards to
a touchdown, with Miles crash-
ing over left tackle for the extra
point to tie up the score at 7-7.
The pass interception and sen-
sational return broke up a Ca-
nadian threat which had follow-
ed Frankie Carver's interception
of a Wheeler pass deep in Cana-
dian territory . . . and the Wild-
cats, with Hill and Dell Krehbiel
carrying on long gains, had pen-
etrated to the Wheeler 12-yard
line.

tackle for the final 21 yards and
the touchdown, with Krehbiel
going over center for the extra
point to put the Wildcats out in
front 14 to 7 with less than three
minutes remaining in the ball
game.
The three minutes were
enough, however, for the fired -
up Mustangs to organize their
drive; and with time running
out, Hunter fired a 20-yard pass
to Hill complete on the Wildcat
20. and Miles circled right end
for the remaining 20 yards and
the touchdown. Miles then
smashed over center for the ex-
tra point to tie up the game with

The loop-leading Stinnett Rat-
tlers will take a breather this
week-end . . . and give one to
the rest of the District 1-A teams
who have been playing second-
fiddle to the former Class B
champs all season.
The Rattlers, who started the
season by tying Hollis, Okla-
homa, have rolled up six straight
victories on successive week-
ends, five of them against con-
ference opponents.
Top game of the week end will
be played at Clarendon, where
the Memphis Cyclones . . . with
still a fighting chance at a dis-
trict title . . . will tangle with
the air-minded Clarendon Bron-
chos. The Cyclones are currently
in third place with a 3-1 record
in conference play, and the
Broncs are just a notch behind
with 3 wins and 2 losses to date.
Panhandle's Panthers and the
Lefors Pirates, currently tied for
fifth place in the loop stand-
ings, each with a 2-2 record in
conference play, will meet at
Lefors Friday night. The Pirates,
rated as top team in the district
before the season opened, are
virtually out of the race for the
crown after losses to Clarendon
and Stinnett . . . and the Pan-
thers, who have shown surpris-
ing strength after a slow start,
should give them a big run for
their money Friday.
Both teams lost to Stinnett on
successive week-ends, the Pan-
