Boerne Defeats
North Side 20-0
The Boerne Greyhounds re-
mained undefeated this year by
downing the North Side Rams
by a score 20-0. Cecil Noah rac-
ed 83 yards for the first tally,
and Bill Ehmanrf scored the
others on runs of 1 and 11 yards
—Ehman added the two extra
points. The Rams drove to the
Greyhound 8 late in the game,
but were unable to push across
a score_ Mel Ott was the out-
standing player for the Rams.
While it is hard to pick any sin-
gle standout for the Greyhounds
Cecil Dietert, Travis Stewart,
John Uecker, and Gene Canavan
all played their usual fine games
in the line, with Chris Wright
and Noah looking best in the
backfield.
The Greyhounds fumbled a-
way a couple of chances to
score early in the first period,
Late in the quarter the Rams
punted out on the Greyhound 6
yard line. A gamble on fourth
down with 1 to go worked, and
then on the next play Noah
skirted left end and out-ran the
Ram defenders all the way. Dav-
id Dawson threw the key block
for Noah. In the second quarter
Boerne drove 75 yards to score
with Ehman going thru left tac-
kle for 11 yards and the touch-
down. Billy Canavan intercept-
ed a Ram pass and returned it
30 yards to the Ram 34 to
start the Greyhounds on their
final TD drive. Ehman went
over from the 7 for the touch-
down. _
This week the Greyhounds
journey ot Junction to tackle
the strong Junction Eagles. This

The Lions Roar
„ The Boy Scouts took over the
local club this week and most of
the active members attended a
“kick-off” breakfast to get the
fund raising campaign under
way. The breakfast turned out
to be a contest between Lions
Harry Davis and Newton, to see
who could tell the biggest and
best story and it turned out to
be a draw, to the entertainment
of the others. It was a foggy
morning and Lion Liesman
must have lost his navigator be-
cause he failed to show up until
the meeting was all over. On the
other hand, maybe just his brain
became foggy and he just forgot
to show, also. And that will cost
you boys next meeting. (Tail-
twister, please note.) Lion Eb-
ensberger was also absent but
we will give him the benefit of
the\doub,t until we hear his ex-
cuse. (It better be good, George,
but you have a whole week to
think it up.) We heard a seven-
th grader pronounce words of
wisdom at the Coffee Shop last
week. It had something to do
with age slowing people down,
and we doubt that he was refer-
ring to Lion Bedgood, so—with
only one other member of the
family present, how did you
take it, Lioness? And we apol-
ogize to Lion Becker. Either he
got generous very quickly, or
else our riding him gave him a
guilty conscience because he
sure spent more than he won
last week buying coffee for ev-
ery member he. could find.
Thanks, Foster, maybe now we
will let you win again. Our best
wishes go out to Lioness Ran-
zau in her present illness and
we hope she will soon be up and
at ’em. And to Lioness Cub
Sarah Hawkins, if you know any
good jokes on the old boy, we
wish that you would let us in
on them.
