Burleson Offense
Tallies 3 TDs
Jimmy Harvey hauls in pass for Elks
By BOB SONDEREGGER
The Burleson Elk offense
proved you can get there
from here Friday night by
scoring 22 points against an
Arlington Bowie defense that
had averaged a yield of less
than 12 per game.
But while the Elks were
methodically proving one
point, Bowie reminded them
that the shortest distance
between two points is a
straight line.
Bowie scored six
touchdowns en route to a
43-22 victory over the Elks in
an offensive battle that
wasn't really decided until
the fourth quarter
Bowie took a quick 14-0
lead but Burleson narrowed
it to a single touchdown
twice in the first half and
seemed to have the offensive
go-power to score against
Bowie.
* * *
TROUBLE WAS the Elks
never found a way to stop
Bowie’s Steve Franke who
dashed for 295 yards on only
17 carries and scored four
touchdowns.
Elk Coach Bill Bixler
credited Bowie’s offensive
line in measuring the Vols’
running success.
“The offensive line comes
off the ball like shots from a
gun,” Bixler said. “Their ex
ecution is flawless. Their
linemen were blowing off the
ball and knocking our line
back and cutting off the pur-
suit of our linebackers. ”
On the other hand, Bixler
was “pretty-well pleased”
with a 22-point production
“They have one of the top
defenses in the district,”
Bixler said. “Only two
teams —Arlington and
Lewisville-have scored
more points against them all
‘Sting’ Operation
Grounds Eagles
By JODY GUTHRIE
Stephenville’s Yellow
Jackets carried off a “sting”
operation in Crowley Friday
night as the Eagles gave up
34 points while recovering
only six.
It was difficult to decide
whether the homecoming
crowd was chilled more by
the weather or the 34-6 loss.
They had hardly settled into
their seats when on the se-
cond play from scrimmage
Todd Conners broke for a
48 yard run giving Stephen
vilie an early advantage. A
point after attempt failed,
but with the clock showing
only 18 seconds gone, the
Yellow Jackets were ahead
6-0.
On Crowley's firs! posses-
sion, Scott Murphy carried
the ball 14 yards for a first
down The Eagles found it

year. They held Richland to
only a field goal.”
Bixler too credited his of-
fensive line with the offen-
sive success and repeated a
statement that hasn’t been
heard in the Elk camp in
some time.
“Their Coach, Jerry Grif-
fin, was impressed with our
offensive line,” Bixler said.
"He told me he thought we
had one of the best offensive
lines in the district.”
Penalties did about as
much to stop the Burleson of-
fense Friday as did Bowie’s
defense.
★ * *
THE OFFENSE could
have made a game out of it
but the defense never found
a way to stop Franke.
The 183-pound running
back who reportedly can run
a 4.6 40-yard dash was doing
most of the damage on basic
dive and counter-dive plays.
Bowie had the ball for just
three plays when Franke got
loose the first time, going 41
yards for a touchdown with
10:44 left in the first quarter.
Shades of 1979 and Bowie’s
55-0 rout of the Elks at the
same Wilemon Stadium
seemed on the horizon when
Franke dashed 65 yards for a
touchdown on first down
when the Volunteers next got
the ball.
But a rout never in
Burleson’s plans.
The Elks came charging
back as Chuck Cox carried
for 9 yards on first down.
Ward Whites carried for four
and a first down and Lance jfe
Perkins was hit out of
bounds to give Bowie a
15-yard penalty and
Burleson another first down.
* * ★
BOWIE’S STUNTING of
fensive line made things
tough on both teams.
The late hit on Perkins
moved the ball to Bowie’s 37
where the Vols jumped off-
sides They timed their gam-
ble right the next time and
caught Glenn Johnson for a

Joshua
BY FRANK C. BADDER
The Joshua Owls suffered
their first district loss of the
year Friday night when they
fell to the Cedar Hill Long-
horns 25-8 at Owl stadium.
The Owls are now 2-1 while
Cedar Hill remains unde-
feated in 3A-12 at 4-0.
John Harris, whose weekly
poll is the bible of Texas
schoolboy football, nailed
this one squarely when he
favored the Longhorns by a
17-point margin.
The game was marred by

tough going, though, and had
to punt from their own 34.
Setting up on their 34-yard
line, the Jackets passed for 8
yards. Two short ground
gains gave them a first and
10 at mid field.
A successful mix of run-
ning and passing gave
