MUSTANGS DEFEAT TIGERS
13-7 IN THRILLING
HOMECOMING
Even though the St. Joseph's
Mustangs won over the St. An-
thony Shrine Tigers b^ a score of
13-7, nevertheless it was a night-
mare for the Mustang coaches for
they saw the many possibilities
and chances that the Tigers had
in defeating the Mustangs by a
murderous score. A tremendous
help in the defeat was that the
Tigers did not punt on fourth
down. Early in the first quarter
Roger Ramos crossed the goal line
but dropped the ball and it was
recovered by the Tigers. In the
second quarter Jimmie Stein scor-
ed 6 points but the Mustangs could
not make the extra point. At the
half the score stood at 6 for the
Mustangs and 0 for the Tigers.
In the early part of the third
quarter Terry Knibbe scored a TD
for 6 points and Larry Stein ran
the extra point. Also in the third
quarter Larry Ullrich of the Tig-
ers scored a TD for 6 points and
then Bobby Wilson ran the extra
point. No scoring was done in the
fourth quarter but each team made
serious threats. The final score:
Mustangs 13, Tigers 7. This has
been the third win out of four
games for the Mustangs and the
| third loss out of four starts for
the Tigers who lost to the Alamo
Heights Little Mules by a score
of 25 to 0, whom the Mustangs
defeated by a score of 21-0. The
Mustangs made 3 penetrations
and 7 first downs, while the Tigers
got 1 penetration and 6 first downs.
Since it was homecoming for
the Mustangs at half-time Patty
Callahan was crowned Football
Sweetheart by the co-captains,
Larry Stein and Charlie Eckhart,
while Larry Stein was chosen as
the Football Hero with Rose Ann
Mazurek, drum major of the Ran-
gerettes, making the presentation.
The beautiful corsages worn by
the majorettes were given them
by Eckhart’s Flower Shop,

BANDERA BULLDOGS
WIN 45-7 OVER
OMFORT BOBCATS
The Bandera Bulldogs complete-
ly stunned the Comfort Bobcats in
a run-away game last Friday
night to the tune of 45-7. The
Bulldogs rolled up 18 first downs
while allowing the Bobcats only 6.
The Bulldogs teamed up with sev-
eral backs to overwhelm the Com-
fort team. Boys who scored for
the Bulldogs were Harold Hayes,
Eugene Ruede, George Searcy,
Kelly Shuptrine, and James Her-
rera. Others who accounted for
lots of yardage were Joe King,
Murry Walker, Jay Edwards, Ern-
est Schladoer, Pres Word and Ken-
neth Kalka. Twenty-five boys who
were suited out for the game had
a hand in the victory. Several
freshmen and sophomores played
all four quarters.
Individual statistics showed that
Ruede carried 9 times for 132
yards and an average of 14.3 yards
per carry. Two long gains were
erased due to penalties.
Shuptrine carried 7 times for
32 yards or 4.7 yards per carry.
George Searcy carried 10 times
for 126 yards and a 12.6 yards per
carry. Harold Hayes who showed
good form again carried 7 times
for 79 yards or an average •of 11.3
yards per carry. Word gained 4
yards on one try. Walker carried
13 yards in three tries for a 4.3
yard average. King gained 3
yards in three, tries for a one yard
average.
Edwards carried 4 times for 11
yards or‘2.8 yards per carry. Kalka
went 1,9 yards in 4 tries on keep-
ers for a 4.8 yard average. Sehla-
door went 17 yards in 4 tries for
a 4.3 yard average. Ernest com-
pleted one pass to Herrera for
20 yards. It was the only pass
attempted by the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs amassed 423 yards
rushing and 20 yards by air. The
Bobcats only managed 36 cards
rushing and 49 by way of passes.
Several boys were injured in
the Comfort game with Travis
Evans being the worst. He sprain-
ed his ankle and is expected to
miss the game with Charlotte this
week. Ronnie Hugh also received
a slight ankle sprain hut has re-
turned to practice at this time.
Kenneth Kalka received a cut
over his eye that required three
stitches but he will probably tie
OK.
If no other injuries occur dur-
ing the week, the Bulldogs should
lie ready for another good game
tonight.
The main threat for the Trojans
will he quarterback G. Boeker. 170
pound boy who likes to carry the
ball lots and is n very capable
passer. D. Williams, an end,
will be his passing target along
with Gonzales, Josik nnd Cruz.
Charlotte, like the Bulldogs, was
hard hit by the flu and had to for-
feit one game and were slowed
in other games. They should be
up to par for this game.
Mrs. .Toe Hunter Short of Tarp-
ley was the house guest of Mr.
and Mrs. John Saul Saturday.
