FIGHTING ENNIS LINE WHICH PLAYED BRILLIANT GAME AGAINST HEAVIER INDIAN FORWARD WALL FRIDAY NIGHT
The Waxahachie Indians capi-
talized on a toreahj late in the fi-
nal quarter to eke out a 6 to 0
victory over the Ennis Lions Fri-
day night at Lion Field-as a ca-
pacity crowd saw the two ancient
(rivals open the district 10-AA
race.
Time after time an outweighed
Ennis line fought off Indian at-
tacks in one of the finest defen-
sive games ever played by an En-
nis eleven. It looked like the
game would end in a scoreless tie,
hut the L.ons kept trying to count
until the last and it was late in
the fourth quarter when Sublett
was dropped trying to pass and
the wet ball slipped from his hands
end the Indians recovered on the
Lion 10. On third down Stollen-
werck raced around his own right
end for 7 yards to cross the Lion
goal line and give the highly rat-
ed Indians a narrow margin of
victory.
The red jerseyed Lions swarmed
all over the Indians'^ all through
the game, holding them in check
when they neared pay dirt. Early
in the game a series of Lion pen-
alties gave the Indians a first
down on the Ennis 5. But try as
they would they could not push
over the Ennis double stripe. With
only about 1-foot to go on fourth
down, Stollenwerck was stopped
cold and the Lions punted out of
danger.
The heavy Waxahachie line held
the Ennis offense in check, throttl-
ing them to a lone first down in
the game, but on the other hand
they ware unable to move the
Ennis line. Both teams played
great defensive games. The heavy
Indian backs were driving with
the force of a steam roller but
meeting a stone wall in the En-
nis line. Ennis threatened only
one time, that being in the third
quarter when they drove to the
Indian 30.
Taking the ball early in the
fourth quarter Waxahachie start-
ed a march down the field from
their own 42. They drove down
to the Ennis 11 yard line but there
the Lions tightened again and
rushed them so badly that they
fumbled and Essary! recovered on
the Lion 21. It was at this point
that Ennis was rushed and fumbl-
ed giving the Indians the ball
deep in Lion territory.
Stollenwerck, Boatman, Howard
and Allen all played the full game
for the Indians in the backfield
and did a good job. The Ennis
line from end to end did an ex-
cellent job. They were driving
through making crashing tackles
and stopping the T-formation plays
when the chips were down. The
Ennis backs were unable to make
much through the big Indian
line but they all turned in good
■performances. Outstanding was
the work of the two Ennis tackles,
Wilson and Essary. The ends,
Springfield -and E. Roberts were
stopping the Indian end runs and

end, Indians penalized 15 yards,

an incomplete pass and Ennis
penalized for roughing kicker giv-
Late in the 3rd quarter an En- j ing Indians 1st down on 4$. Stoll-
nis lineman crashed through to
block a second quick kick and af-
ter scrambling for the ball-, Boat-
man finally managed to recover
on the Lion 12. Had Ennis re-
covered the ball they might have
made a different story out of the
game.
Most Ennis fans agreed that the
Lions have a scrapping ball team,
capable of playing good football
against any team. Waxahachie
fans came to Ennis expecting to
walk away with the game and
felt lucky indeed to get a win last
night.
A slight drizzle fell during parts
of the game making the ball
slippery and hard to handle. The
new Lion Stadium was filled to
capacity and several hundred covr
ered the sidelines. It was esti-
mated that well over 3,000 saw
the game.

REISER’S INJURY MAV HURT DODGERS—Pete Reiser, the racing Dodgers’ hard
luck kid, is carried off the field by teammates after fracturing his left leg. The
loss of their expert base-stealer and hitter may be felt by the Bums in the remaining
three games of the season. Reiser was hurt when he, tried to slide back into first base
as the Philadelphia pitcher, Charley Sehanz tried to trap him off base in the game
between the Phillies and Brooklyn at Brooklyn.

SPORTS
DOPE
Ennis Lions played a sparkling
football game last night against
Waxahachie. A few breaks went
in favor of the Indians, thus af-
fording them their chance to eke
out a win.
Saturday morning quarterbacks
say, “if they had just kicked in-
stead of trying to pass we would
have gotten a tie.” But we say
the Lions were trying to win the
| game—they were not content with
uf | a tie. They had the spirit to win
center for 4 yards to Lion 33 and j and that they tried to do, hqw-
first down. Howard got 5, Boat- j ever their strategy backfired on
man over right tackle for 1st down j them and they got a bad break
on 22. Allen got 1, Boatman 3, j which cost them the game. But
iStollenwerck 4 and then 3 for a j rather than criticize them for this
1st down on Ennis 11. Boatman | we admire their spunk for trying
then
pinned for 2* yard loss,
fained 1, Ennis line rushed
through and Essary recovered In-
dian fumble back on 21 yard lftre.
Morgan failed to gain, Sublett
dropped back to pass, was rushed
hard and dropped the slick: ball,
>the Indians recovering on Ennis
10. Boatman got 2, Stollenwerck
got 1 at center, then followed good
blocking to go round his right
a touchdown. Boatman failed to
kick goal. Howard kicked to Sub-
to win.
'Certainly the Lions are to be
comended for playing such a strong
defensive game. . They were bat-
tling their hearts out to win and
they gave the fans from both
sides something to talk about.
but Temule must have looked very
sick against the Maroons. This
should be Ennis’ year to smear the
Wildcats.
The Cards were bumped off by
Chicago yesterday while the idle
Brooklyn Dodgers pulled into a
tie. Both teams have only two
more games to play. Which will
it be?

Waco Scores in
Last Quarter to
Beat Reagan 13-0
Wiaco, Tex., Sept. 28.—'Round-
ly outplaying the John Reagan
Eulldogs of Houston in' the last
half, Waco Tigers scored twice
in the final quarter to carry off
a 13-to-0 victory before a crowd
of 10,000 Friday night.
After a scoreless first half and a
very colorful drill by the John
Reagan all-girl band and pep
squad between halves, the Bull-
dogs again kicked off to Waco. It
looked like another slow quarter
until Buzz Dozier, great Tiger tail-
back, loosened his throwing arm
and completed three straight pass-
es to the Reagan five, where the
third quarter ended.
Dozier skirted right end for the
first Waco score to start the final
quarter. He then kicked off to
Reagan, but Bobby Jones fumbled
on his own 34. With Dozier’s pass-
ing and Donald Montgomery’s re-
ceiving the Tigers reached the
John Reagan one foot line. Lonnie
Griffith plunged over for the final
Waco score. Griffith also tricked
the extra point.
