night and Ricebirdji defeated Engle

football game. El Campo led in first

In addition to Padgett, Carroll

good ball for the losers.
Markham High
Defeats La Ward
By 47 To 6
The Markham High Mustangs de-
feated the La Ward Rattlers at Ln
Ward last Thursday night by a 47-
to-6 score. The Rattlers came out
determined to stop the mass pro-
duction touchdown machinery of
the Ponies. They staved them off
desperately all of the first quarter
but at the beginning of the second
the Mustangs scored.
On two end-around plays Ray
Sparks brought the ball from the
40 to the 15. On the next play he
cut through the middle of the line
for 15 yards and scored standing
up. A few moments later Ray
VICTORIA WINS, 33-7
A super-charged Victoria eleven,

EXPOS TAKE LOOP LEAD
Freeport took undisputed lead in
the upper half of District 29-A by
beating Angleton, 19 to 6, Friday
night. Barnes was practically the

Power-Charged Boling Bulldogs Become
Undisputed Leaders Of District 30-A
Coach Jerry Sadler’s power-charged Boling Bulldogs be-
came undisputed leaders of District 30-A by taking an 8-0
decision from a stubborn Rosenberg eleven last week. This
oss knocked the Brahmas from the undefeated class and the
team slid to second place with two victories and one defeat.
Wharton’s mighty Tigers were also undefeated until they
met Richmond Friday night. The Tigers, by losing a split-
hair thriller to Richmond, went into a three-way tie with Bay
City and Richmond.
II is our opinion, at this writing, that Bay City,
Wharton, Richmond, and Rosenberg still have a chance
as well as Boling to win the loop title, and that every
game from here on out will be nothing short of a dog
fight.
These teams realize that Boling stands a good chance of 1

Cotton Wright, the barber
Barnett’s in Bay City, listens atten
tively to all S. M. U. games these
days. And he reads every word
about the Mustangs in the papers.
Why all his?
Well, you see Cotton is the proud
father of S. M. U.’s varsity center,
Jim Wright, who, we might add, is
doing a whale of a job at the pivot
position for Coach Matty Bell.
Cotton has another son who plays
football for Adamson High in Dal
las.
Hail to two Markham teams,
the Varsity and the second team,
who steamrollered their respec-
tive opponents to 96-0 and 57-0
victories two weeks ago. As a lit-
tle figuring will show, this is a
total of 153 points to 0!
The varsity beat Hungerford
by the largest score and the re-
serves trampled Van Vleck, 57 to
0.
Coaches McDaniel and Cotton
probably have one of the strong-
est, if not the strongest, six-man
football squad in the State.
Hundreds of fans in this section
will motor to Austin this week-end
for the annual Texas-Rice game,
which is due to draw 45,000. Some
