fense football, but early in the
second period Robbins dropped
back from the San Angelo 26
and hit Buchanan. The fast-
moving Breckenridge end shook
off two men and fell across the
goal line.
A pass interception by Full-
back Jerry Williams on his own
40 yard line late in the fourth

portunlty to score ’ Williams

lint Crown In
ity Conference
By r>M Prf«
The third time proven to be 2
charm Sunset High of Dallas
needed to win a state schoolboy
football championship.
After two previous trips to
state finals provide faultless, the
big Bisons from Sunset came
through with an upset 14-6 de-
cision over Houston Reagan Fri-
day night at Dallas' Dal - Hi
Stadium to win the City Con-
ference crown.
The championchip had some-
what of a hollow ring, how-
ever. for Sunset will never get
to defend it. The city loop is to
be abolished and absorbed into
newer Texas Interscholastic
League classification after this
school year.
The Dallas school, which lost
to San Antonio Jefferson in last
year’s City Conference finals
and to Austin in the Class AA
finals of 1042, brought an early
warning glow to an estimated
8,000 mostly partisan fans who
watched In near - freezing wea-
ther,
Reagan never managed to
overcome a first - period touch-
down deficit that seemed to
give Sunset an offensive spark
which enabled the Bisons to out-
gain the favored Bulldogs 169 to
136 yards.
Fullback John Marshall plung-
ed over front the one five min-
utes deep into the game after
a 43-yard Jack Hayes - to - end
David McNair pass had set up
the score. Buzz Terry kicked the
first of two conversions and
Sunset was ahead 7-0.
Reagan's raging fullback. Bob
Easley, kept the Houston hopes
alive on the first play of the
second period with an 87-yard
touchdown return of an inter-
cepted pass, iiut Joe Tissue miss-
ed the extra point try.
Midway in the second quarter,
Sunset got moving again as
sub back Danny Matthews came
in for ailing star Joe Boring to
spark a 56-yard drive that end-
ed with Marshall plowing
through from the one - foot line
for a clinching touchdown.

Owen Resigns As
Arlington Coach
FORT WORTH, Dec. 9 (UP)
—Truett L. Owen, head coach of
Arlington Heights high since
September of 1945, resigned his
post Saturday morning. Owen
submitted his written resigna-
tion, effective immediately to
Athletic Director Herman Clark
and Supt. of Schools Joe P.
Moore.
At the same time. Supt. Moore
announced that N. J. (Pug) Ho-
gan, assistant to Owen at
Heights, has been recommended
succeed him at the head coaching
position.
Owen said he plans to leave
coaching in favor of develop-
ment of a stock farm and fish
hatchery on land he owns near
Lake Texoma.
The resignation of the Jacket
coach came on the heels of talk
that he is being considered as
next coach at Texas Tech, to re-
place Dell Morgan, who also re-
signed. Owen said he has “no
coaching plans in regard to the
future.”
Owen came to Heights in 1945,
when Arlington Heights was
deepest in an athletic mire.
Along with Hogan, their re-
building program has been hail-
ed as one of the finest ever seen
in the state, including three city
championships the past for
years for the Jackets.

Beats Sherman
DALLAS, Tex.. Dec. 9 (UP) —

day with an impressive 20 to
6 bi-district playoff victory.

penetratabie a n d Sherman
wound up minus 14 yards for

ies early fri %l|< seaspn but
crumbled, roared to a 20-0 lead
in tlie opening period and kept

ond stringers moved in for the
last period. It was in that final
period, after all doubt had been
removed, that Georgia scored
13 of it> 20 points.
