The running of Cooper, the passing
of Lionel Williams, and the all

PHILLia Wheatley Lions will meet Carver Hornet* of Mid-
land, next Thursday, Oct. 22, at Alamo stadium and the
lions will be striving to go ahead in the short series with the
Hornets. Each team has won two games. The Lions unleashed
terrific ground power to bury the Hornets, last year, 38-12.
The two teams first met in 19S7, and the Hornets out-
played the Lions for a 20-19 squeaker victory.

averages 175, the tenm, about 170.
The Hornets have two quarter-

tial—Eardie Curry, ISO, and Jerry

shown well is Samuel Ward, 100.
Doing great work up front liavs
been Jnme* Roseberrv. center, 1!M)#
and James Posteal, 170-pound guard.
The Hornets' record, on paper, It
not impressive—with one victory,
three defeats, and one tie. Two ot
those losses have been by extrcinelj
close scores, and the Hornets hat tit
all the way. They plastered Daulet
Cuero. 34-0. The speedy, classic Ham-
ilton Pnrk eleven of Dallas ran to fl
30-0 victory over Midland. The Horn-
ts lost to Mnrlin, 7-G; tied Abilene^
0-C, and lost to Temple, last week,
14-8.
Entering the game ns a possible
underdog, the Hornets are keyed to
upend the Eions who have developed
a habit of doing s lot of ground-gain-
ing, but not much scoring. They have
been improving on that point, oi
late.
They may really explode, Thursday.
Their next meeting wne in i960,
when an official had 0 mental lapse,
called a touchback s safety, and
gave Midland two points that also
gave the Hornets victory, 21-20. In
IfMJO, Wheatley was far superior in
every department, so far as statis-
tics went, but the official's goof beat
the Lions.
The locals ecored their first vic-
tory over Midland in 1901, when they
swamped the Hornets, 32-7. They did
not meet in 1DC2, but. last year,
Wheatley tied up the series standings
with their 38-12 triumph. The Lions
intend to move ahead, next Thursday.
Midland has s fast, battling, but
young team, this year, with just three
lettermen — Eddie Itlakemore, yoo-
pound senior tackle; James Williams,
senior, end, 180, and lG>>-pound jun-
1-all in the end r.one. In all, St. Mary's
bl<M>ked three Claver punts.
It wss the fifth straight victory
for St. Mary's. St. Peter has won
one, lost three, tied one.
