Th Taft Greyhounds defeated
a fighting band of Port Lavaca
Samirrabs Friday night, when
they gained a six-point lead in
the third quarter which they held
throughout the remainder of the
game.
The ’Hounds scored when Quar-
terback Claud Rossou intercepted
a Sandcrab pass On the Port La-
vaca 40-yard stripe and galloped
across the goal line. Turner's
attempted kick was blocked and
the score remained 6-0,
In the fourth quarter the Port
Lavaca dub first threatened when
they penetrated the Greyhound
30-yard line. Milles passed to
Vlvon on the 21. On the next play
Cotton drove through the center
of the line to the 13- Wilburn
followed up with a fumble, re-
covered by Taft, stopping the Sand-
crab drive.
Vivon, Cotton and Wilburn sup-
plied the hack fie id power for the
visitors, each being consistent
ground gainers.
The Greyhound Sine performed
smoothly and the return of Pullln
to the team Improved the line play.
In the backfield Johnson did well
from the line plunging position,
as did Roason, Sanders and Mat-
thews.
