T^wvhen two undefeated District
—45-AAA elevens, Cuero and Bee-
r^ille, meet in Gobbler Stadium.
IZm. Game time is 8 p.m.
The local game is one of two
•_ marking the beginning of the
15-AAA football championship
I race. Port Lavaca meets Kings-
! ville in Kingsville while Robs-
- town remains Inactive.
The Cuero-Beeville tilt match-
es the Gobblers’ 5-0-1 record a-
gainst the Trojans’ 5-0 mark.
; Beevillc enters the game with
• an impressive scoring record of
205 points to the oppositions’
I seven. Cuero has scored 145
; points and allowed 40.
Breville fields a starting back-
field which averages 165
I founds. Cuero’s backfield aver-
• ages 152 pounds.
On the line, weights will be
evenly balanced if Gobbler
Coach Langdon Smith is able to
; start his regulars. If not, Bee-
ville will have a slight edge.
With regular starters, the Tro-
jans average 174 pounds on the
■ line to Cuero's 173.
Cuero will once more be slight-
ly handicapped in the middle of
; the line by the absence of Cen-
ter Johnny Steen, still suffer-
• mg from a knee injury, however
: Steen’s replacement, 160-pound
• Homer Smith, turned in a highly
• creditable performance in the
Cuero-Lamar Consolidated game
' last week.
Johnny Murphree, regular
• Ku kfield starter, is expected to
play a large part of the game,
' hut a healing broken hand pro-
' tented by a cast is expected to
shim down some.
(’card Raleigh Coppedge and
Tukc Fain McDougal, still re-J
rnvoting from slight cases of the
flu this week, may see offensive
• action only.
Vith the exception of the ahpve
namctl players. Smith said his
team is ready for the Trojan in-
vasion.
On the Trojan side of the
fence, Beevillc brings a club to
Curio whose biggest asset is ex-
perience. Although, as Smith ad-
mits, the Trojans have a good
team, it is probably over rated
• to a certain degree because of
. the scoring record racked up in
tin- district games.
Primarily a running team, the
Trojans’ power is in their back-
fieid, which in past games has
leaned heavily on 140-pound
left halfback Charles “Slick”
Love, a fast and shifty boy
when he gets his hands on the
ball.
Other starting backs also
claim speed as their asset. They
. are 185-pound Eddie Wicker,
right halfback, and 165-pound
Homer Soliz. fullback. Doug
Hutchins, first string quartcr-
.back, will be out with a knee in-
jury. Jimmy Bertram, 150-
pounder, will fill the slot.
Beevillc Coach Tex Kassen
has no headache concerning
backfield reserves, of which he
has an ample supply.
A look at modern history books
reveals the Gobblers will be af-
ter their second consecutive
win over the Trojans. Cuero
dropped Becville 24-7 last year.
Paging through ancient his-
-tory, it is discovered that Ihc
learns have played 25 games
since the series began in 1913.
• Cuero holds a slight edge in
4he statistics column with 12
Wins and 11 losses. Two games
ended in tied scores. Cuero scor-
ed a total of 332 points to 285
Here are the Cuero High Gobblers who make their bid tor
s nhot at the District 15-AAA flfltto here tonight «a they dash
with Bceville’s Mg Trojans.

for Beeville, giving Cuero a
game average of 13.2 points and
BeeviUe a 11.4 average.
The Gobblers claimed their
biggest win in 1932 with a 37-0
victory. Two years later, the
Trojans had sweet revenge
trouncing the Gobblers 34-0 in
1934 for their biggest win during
the 44-year rivalry.
Before both teams began
scoring in about every game.
12 of the first eighteen played
ended with one or the other side
held scoreless.
The Gobblers scored 104 points
in the first four games, played
in 1913, 1915, 1929 and 1932, be-
fore the Trojans, just learning
to score caught on and held
Cuero to a 13-12 win in 1933 by
scoring two touchdowns.
But since the worm turned In
1934, the series has been a touch
and go affair, the longest win-
ning streak being turned In by
Beeville from 1944 through 1947.
If the Gobblers win tonight, It
will be the first time they de-
feated Becville two in a row
since the years 1937 and 1938.
