Struggle Valiantly For Win
They Did It Again!!
Sonny Mobley and Odessa
Broncos stepped out on the
Sweetwater Mustangs in the
last half of District 3-AA clincher
iri Odessa Friday night to elim-
inate the Sweetwater Mustangs
unbeatend record 28 to 12.
For too many times in so
many years the Odessa Bron-
cos using jinx spirit and a
one-man team stomped the
Sweetwater Mustangs as
they made their bid for dis-
trlst honors and a trip to the
state playoffs.
Sweetwater struck first in the
initial period after an exchange
of kicks gave Odessa the ball on
their own 22. Odessa fumbled
and Sweetwater recovered. Jim
Ronemus and Tom McMillan
carried the ball to the Bronc 5
where Tom McMillan passed into
the end zone to Riley Cross for
the first TD. Ronemus' kick hit
the goal posts and bounced back
onto the playinug field. No good.
Odessa evened the count
In the second period after a
short drive climaxed by
Jimmy Patterson's plunge
over the goal from the two
yard line. Patterson's kick
was good.
Sweetwater's final score was
set up by the running of McMil-
lan, Ronemus and untility Jack
Pace and the drive was climax-
ed by Tom McMillan on a four-
yard sweep to the left for the
score. Patterson was eluded by
the alert Mustangs on the two be-
fore spinning over. Ronemus
failed to convert once more.
In the last half the rejuv-
enated Broncos manager to
shake Mobley loose to pro-
Tide the margin that won the
game.
Mobley broke loose from 35
and went through middle with-
out downfield blocking 65 yards
to put his team into a lead that
they never lost from that point
on. Kick was good. Score 14
to 12 Odessa.
Mobley captured a pass by
Quarterback Clover and carried
to the Pony 17. Odessa waited
while the" referees penalized
S'Water to their one yard line
and Patterson bulled over from
that point.
The next score was manufac-
tured on a quick opening play
by Mobley over guard and went
from his own 31 on his speedy
way fdr a score. Patterson's
kick was good for the last score
of the ball game. (That was
enough>. Score Odessa 28, Sweet-
water 12.
The turning point, was appear-
ed from the press box was
when Odessa kicked to Sweetwa-
ter's 20. Hooper passed to Cross
over the middle in one of the
most spectacular plays of the
afternoon to net 35 yards and
move the ball to the Odessa 45.
Ronemuqs then hit guard for 21
yards to the Odessa 24. Sweetwa-
ter was penalized 15 yards for
holding from the point of in-
fraction on the 46 that nullified
the threat by Ronemus to the
24.
With the hall on their own
:{! Sweetwater bogged down
and despite desperate efforts
by the entire Mustang team
were held to small gains by
the "overhead" playing of
the Broncos.
Without the runs of Mobley
the game would have ended as

yard marker on Odessa's end of
the field. Dye circled left end
for 11 and a first. Patterson
and Mobley try one each through
the line and make first. Mobley
bulled through the middle 17
yards to the Mustang 33. Pee-
bles smothers one play for one

yard line. ) Hooper loses wind
on runback).
Sweetwater Backs Perform
Ronemus, McMillan and Pace
moved the hall down the field to
the Odessa 39 yard line and from
that point McMillan broke loose
on a 34 yard scamper that put
the ball on the 3-yard line.
On the fourth down McMil-
lan goes around left end
eludes trek through tacklers
and shakes Patterson loose
on the one and went on to
score standing. Ronemus
again failed to make kick.
That is all.
At the half Sweetwater was
leading Odessa 12 to 7.
Third Quarter
Sweetwater received Odessa's
opening kickoff on their own 12 |
and McMillan handed off to
Cathey who ran back 9 yards to
the 21.

Odessa 27 after team had failed
to make first.
Mobley took 13 off tackle and
was tackled by Harvey Gray and
James Muns.
Patterson after three tries had
been made at the line kicked high
from own 44 out of bounds on
Mustang 29.
One first down and 3 attempts
at another were made by the
Mustangs before Cathey bad to
kick from his own 16 out of
bounds on "Mobley's" 27.
Dye gains 6 through center of
the line and then for no reason
except maybe to win a ball game
"Sonny" Mobley hit right guard
so hard that he went all the way
65 yards to score before he could
stop. Score 13 to 12 in favor of
Odessa.
Pace took kickoff on 12, fum-
bles momentarily then ran back
to the 20. Hooper passes to
Cross waiting 12 yards past the
line of scrimmage and "Rockin"
Riley went to the Odessa 45 be-
fore being pulled down. Two
Odessa men went up with Cross
on the play but the catchability
and fighting spirit of the Mus-
tangs overruled the Broncs.
Ronemus then hit left tackle
for 21 yards to the Odessa 21.
The play was called back and
Sweetwater penalized 15 for
holding.
That stopped that.
Fourth Quarter
Odessa's next drive started a
few minutes later on the 34.
Mobley took a pass from Clover
and speeded to the Mustang 15.
Sweetwater was penalized to the
1 yard line and Patterson hit the
hurt bunch in the middle for the
score.
Score Sweetwater 12; Odessa
21 .
The Mustangs held the Bron-
cos on their own 38 for two plays
but on the 3rd try Mobley went
through middle for 68 yards and
the final Odessa touchdown.
Patterson kicked point. Odessa
28, Sweetwater 12.
Nothing happened after that
as the Sweetwater Mustangs put
up one of the most spirited fights
seen in AA football this year
with only minutes to go and two
touchdowns behind.
They lost . . . But they were
good losers.

Hermleigh In
9-A Win Over
Roby 11 26-6
The potent Hermleigh Cardi-
nals were scored on for the sec-
ond time this season as they
ran to a strong 26 to 6 win over j
the Roby Lions at Roby Friday
night in a vital district 9-A
clash.
The Cardinals regional bound !
in state Class A football hit
hard and fast Friday to open
holes in the line and around end
for the one man dynamo Dave
Stuard.
Early in the opening stanza
quarterback Dale Stuard plunged
through the center of the line
from the 5 for the first TD and
made the entire seven points his
by plunging the line again for
I he extra point.
Roby coming back strong in
an attempt to stay in the ball
game scored a few minutes later
when J. A. Flint circled the end
for the final eight yards to pay-
dirt, failing to make the point
Roby trailed by one point.
On a recovered fumble made
by Roby on the kickoff Herm-
leigh took the ball in the sec-
ond half and from the five
punched Stuard through the
line again and then again, once
for the TD and another time for
the extra point. Hermleigh 14,
Roby 6.
With the ball game in the
hands of the Cardinals most of
the remaining time the unbeat-
en Hermleigh crew scored twice
more before the game was over.
The final tally was carried over
from the eight yard line on
sweep to the right by J. Fritz,
right half. The last two extra
points were no good.

Still Best
Grid Fans
After the game had been play-
ed and the gun signalling the
last play of the Odessa-Sweet-
water ball game there was plenty
of feel stomping and spirited
yells coming from the new stad-
ium on the Odessa side of the
field.
On tli< East side where
some disheartened
Sweetwater fans were tread-
ing their way down the
ramp to the entrance, i|uiet
ruled supreme.
No one was too disappointed
nor did,they seem to be too mad,
for in most opinions the Sweet-
water Mustangs had beaten
Odessa, it was the youngster call-
ed Mobley they couldn't fathom.
The one sided score was due
largely to the supreme efforts
of one man, Sonny Mobley of
Odessa.
Playing the other 10 men to a
standstill the blinding speed of
Mr. "M" was too much for the
locals as he troup'ed through the
Mustang line and secondary
for touchdown scampers of
64 and 68 yards respectively and
he caught a pass that put the
ball on Sweetwater's 17 to set
up another score.
On the way back from the
Odessa game, Sweetwater fans
riding the Special train had
much to say and plenty to fall
back on. The hard running of
the Mustang backs and the fast
charging line held the other
Odessa backs to only 68 yards
rushing.
"Sonny'' Mobley accounted for
195 yards himself.
The overall opinion of all the
fans that were interviewed by
the roving sports writer was
that the Mustangs did an ex-
cellent job both defensively and
offensively and had it not been
for the BREAKS the score would
have been different.
"Breaks through the line and
around end by Mobley. that is."
The Sweetwater Mustangs, in
my opinion, still stands as one
of the greatest tributes to high
school lootball for the 1948 sea-
son.
Coming from rating ob-
scurity to an envied position
in the top ten, Sweetwater
presents one of its most Im-
pressive records In many
years.
Speaking in an attitude that
gave proof to the fact that
Sweetwater is known for its
Sports backers and heralded as
the "City of Champions" the fol-
lowers of the local team send to
the boys "We are still back of
you 100 per cent; so play your
best—Win or lose—Rah!"
* * *
"When all results are tallied.
And marked against your name.
It isn't whether you won or lost.
But how you played the game."
"Yon don't owe me anything for telling you about the
wonderful service at SWEETWATER MOTOR ((
—that's my good deed for the day."

The San Angelo aggrega-
tion tallied two more TD's
which -were called back and
nullified by penalties.
Denny Southworth of the Bob-
cats had intercepted a Steer
pass earlier in the game and
worked his way through an
oper. field and outran the safety
man over the goal line only to
find that one of his teammates
had been caught offside on the
play.
In the fourth quarter the San
Angelo Bobcats' Pat Hall went
from his own nine all the way
91 yards to paydirt but the
play was called back due to a
holding penalty, and were pen-
alized to their own one yard line.
Big Spring penetrated the San
Angelo 20 only once in the
course of the ball game and that
was in the third quarter when
they drove to the eleven only to
be held on downs.
San Angelo made 13 first
downs to 14 for Big Spring,
and the Bobcats racked up
212 yards on the ground,
157 for the Steers.
To more even up the contest
Big Spring gained 64 yards
passing in 5 of 19 completions
to no yards for 2 passes for the
Bobcats.
The game was marked
throughout by roughness
and numerous penalties as
the two "out" teams bat-
tled for the sake of winning
a 3-AA top four berth.
Sweetwater will meet the po-
tent San Angelo Bobcats in the
large Mustang Bowl Friday
night November 19, and will be
host to the Big Spring Steers
the following week on Thursday
at 2 p. m. in the final vie for
the 1948 season for both clubs.

Rain Needed Or
Duck Season May
Be Minus Ducks
By United Press
Unless it rains along the Tex-
as Gult Coast, duck hunters may
not expect much of a waterfowl
season.
That's the word from Howard
Dodgen, executive secretary of
the Game, Fish and Oyster Com-
mission. He said the coast was
"very dry," and while there
were indications of an increas-
ed duck population, it appeared
they would be very concentrated.
At least early season pros-
pects seemed to be dimmed by
the lack of watering spots for
ducks. But game officials were
still hoping that rain would fall
in the South Texas area and pro-
vide more widespread hunting
by the middle or late stages of
the season.
The duck season opens on
Nov. 12 and ends on Dec. 16.
Dodgen said "we have a good
supply of ducks—about 10 to 15
per rent above last year," but
without rain there might be
"less hunting opportunity" than
in i94Y.
Advent of the hunting season
makes a bird dog movie to be
presented here Tuesday night at
the Nolan County Sportsman's
Club an unusual attraction,
President Earl Webb said Sat-
urday.
The picture, a short feature
entitled "Sporting Dogs", will be
shown at the club's meeting at
7 p. m. at the district court
room. All persons interested
are invited to see the picture
which will be shown about 7:30
through courtesy of the Porter
Feed Company.
