Wildcats Top Henrietta
For First Season Win
A 46yard jaunt by Quarter-
back Billy Holder mid-way in
the fourth quarter gave the Ar-
cher City Wildcats their first
win of the 1965 season against
the winless Henrietta Bearcats
in the second District 11-A con-
ference game for both teams.
The win for the Wildcats gives
them a win and a tie in con-
ference play.
The game was just what had
been predicted, a defensive bat-
tle. Neither team managed a
serious threat during the first
half. The Wildcats did manage to
get to the Bearcat 26 and 28 dur-
ing the first half and the Bear-
BLUE OWLS LEAD
BIDDY FOOTBALL
The Blue Owls in the Biddy
football League, coached by A.
O. Campbell, Jr., took over first
spot in the three-team league
after the first week of play.
The Owls won over the Mus-
tangs Thursday night, 22-0 and
then dropped the Horn Frogs,
8-0, Monday night.
Action will resume Thursday

cats deepest penetration in the
first half was to the Archer City
38. In fact, this was the Bear-
cats deepest penetration for the
night outside a fumble recovery
on the Wildcat 13 yard line in
the third period.
Untimely penalties hurt both
teams, with long gainers and
run-backs nullified with the in-
fractions.
Penalties stymied the first of-
fensive attempt for the Wild-
cats as Holder ripped off 20
yards on the first play from
scrimmage to have the fine run
rubbed off for an off-side pen-
alty. Halfback Bob Gaines then
got the five back on a counter
and Holder then stepped off 13
for a first to the 42-yard line.
Halfback John O’Donohoe lost
one yard and then Holder hit for
a 20 yard pass play to have it
called back. Holder got a 38 yard
punt off to give the Bearcats
the ball on their 26 yard line.
On the first play the Wildcats
jarred the ball loose from a
Bearcat but a penalty erased the
play and the Bearcats regained
possession. Both teams battled
back and forth in the first quar-
ter.
John O’Donohoe picked off a
wayward pass deep in the first
period on the Wildcat 28-yard
line. From this point Holder
moved his team for 46-yards to
the Henrietta 26-yard line to
give the ball up on downs.
During the first half both
teams picked up four downs and
The Archer City Wildcats will
host their cross-country rivals,
The Holliday Eagles, Friday
night at Berry Stadium. Kick-
off time will be 7:30 p.m. From
all indications the game should
be a real good tussle with the
Eagles being favored to post
their second conference win.
The Eagles are rated in the top
ten in Class A in most polls and
have been rated as high as
fourth in the state. These were
ratings the Eagles received be-
fore running into Crowell last
week, losing, 16-6. However, the
Eagles lost little prestige in
losing to the Crowell Wildcats,
they too had been rated high
in the state Class A polls.
The Eagles have won four
games and lost only one thus
far in 1965. The loss to Crowell
was a game that could have
gone either way as the Eagles
led in just about every depart-
ment except the scoring column.
The Eagles recorded 21 first
downs compared to 18 for Cro-
well and also out gained the
Wildcats on the ground, 228 to
208. Coach Booby Ray scouted
the Eagles in their game with
Crowell and returned home with
nothing but praises for Coach
Ken Ford’s crew. He said that
they were real quick and had
more speed than any team the
Wildcats have faced all year.
Coach Ray told Quarterback
Club members Monday night
that the Eagles were not too
big but was overall a well bal
anced team. He also pointed out
that Halfback Ronnie Maxwell
was one of the best running
backs in district. He will be
back two more years for the
Eagles as he is a sophomore
this year. The Eagles have two
fine receivers in Ends Bo Toner
and Jay Franklin, both seniors.
Coach Ray said the Eagle quar-
terback, Larry Slack, also likes
to pass to Halfback Larry Loyd
who has good speed and can
catch the ball real well.
The coach went on to say that
the Eagles had very little dif-
ficulty in moving the ball
against the big forward wall
that Crowell boasts but just
couldn’t manage to get the ball
across the goal line. He said that
bad breaks also hampered the
Eagles in their game with the
Wildcats.
