Bulldogs Conquer Mart
20-0 in District Opener
McGregor’s whlxe-sliirted Bull-
dogs romped over Mart’s Panth-
ers 20-to-0 on Wood Field last
Friday night in the first confer
ence game for both teams.
Coach Warrington’s boys are
now standing on the first rung
of the district championship lad-
der alongside the Itasca Wam-
pus Cats who downed Clifton’s
Cubs 18-to-O. Gatesville and La
Vega have not played a confer-
ence game.
The Bulldog machine moved
during the first two quarters,
marking up a counter in each.
They reached pay dirt for the
third time in the fourth stanza.
This victory may prove to be
a costly one for the locals in that
their key performer, tailback
Bud Guinn, went out in the sec-
ond quarter with an injury sus-
tained when he ran over the first
touchdown in the opening chap-
ter. Guinn stayed in the game
with a bad limp, and didn’t go
out until he had heaved a 16-
yard pass to end Kenneth Riley
for the second, terminating a
70-yard drive, midway in the
second quarter.
Warrington said he let Guinn
stay in at his own request with
instruction only to call signals
and hand off the ball. He knew
that just the presence of the
triple-threater would help the
morale of the team. He went to
the showers at half-time, and
Raymond Bayless took over the
tailback slot.
During the first quarter Mc-
Gregor fans saw the Bulldogs
pile up 53 yards, four first downs

and six points. The new combin-
ation with Guinn, White, Reeves
and Whitenburg in the back-
field, and Stevens and Bayless
in their new positions in the line
clicked like a. well oiled machine,
making yardage almst at will.
After Guinn’s injury, however,
the Bulldog offense slowed down
somewhat. Big Darrell White
was a consistant gainer through-
out the game with his line
plunges, however.
It took the Bulldogs one quar-
ter to get hold of themselves af-
ter losing their chief offensive
threat. And it was during this*
third stanza that Mart came
within one yard of crossing Mc-
Gregor’s double stripe. The sec-
ond half began with Mart tak-
ing over the ball on their own
30. Seven plays later they were
down to the McGregor one.
Two Becker-to-Spurlin passes
for 20 yards each and a nice run
by Berry accounted for most of
the yardage.
A five-yard penalty and a
fumble recovered by Kenneth Ri-
ley halted the drive, and Whiten-
burg kicked out of the hole.
Sparked by little Raymond
Bayless, the Bulldog’s rabbit-
fast all-purpose player, and
White, the locals pushed over
their final score in the fourth
quarter on a drive from the Mart
26, where they came into posses-
sion on the ball after Riley in-
tercepted a Panther pass.
White started the drive with' a
five-yard crash through center,
and Bayless followed up with
up one, White two and then Bav-
less slipped around right end
for the score. White bucked the
line for the extra point.
The Guinn-to-Riley combin-
ation turned in its best passing
performance for the season dur-
ing the first half. Guinn connec-
ted with Riley on four out of
five attempts, for 56 yards. Guinn
also tossed two to Billy Stevens
but both were incomplete. During
the second half Reeves took over
passing chores and tossed five,
connecting with Riley one time
for 33 yards. This gave the Bull-
dogs a total of 89 yards in the
air.
The Panthers didn’t break
open their passing game until
the second half when Becker
tossed 11 and connected on four
of them for 67 yards. Two were
intercepted, and their only pass
in the first half was incomplete.
On the ground the canines
drive began on McGregor’s own |
30. White started it off with 11 j
through center. Whitenburg, a j
defensive and blocking star who
can also tote the pigskin, broke
through' tackle for eight., and
White did the same; White pick-
ed up seven more and Guinn con-
nected with Riley for 13. Whit-
enburg picked up four and .Guinn
hit Riley for the score, a 16-vard
heave. Guinn also kicked the ex-
tra point,

LOOPHOLES
in the Law
By WILL WILSON
District Attorney of Dallas County
(Editors Note—This is one of a series of short case histories, all
taken from court records, showing how legal loopholes often enable
criminals to escape punishment in Texas. Will Wilson is chairman
of a special steering committee of the State Bar, which is working
for revision of the antiquated Criminal Code and Code of Criminal
procedure in order to eliminate these loopholes.)

So long as legal loopholes ex-
ist, criminals will take advan-
tage of them. That is why the
State Bar is working to bring
about revision of Texas’ crimin-
al statutes. Every time a crimin-

BIBLE STUDIES
Below are some questions and answers on the subejct of
“baptism.”
(Continued from last week)
19. Where did the second great baptism occur? A—Samaria.
20. How is it reported? A—Philip, an evangelist, went down from Jer-
usalem after many thousands had been baptized there, to the city
of Samaria, and preached to them the same gospel. Many of the
Samaritans, we are informed, “hearing, believed and were bap-
tized, both men and women.” Acts 8:5-12. (Note: no children)
21. What is the next case reported? A—It is that of the Ethiopian of-
ficer, Treasurer of an Ethiopian queen, who heard Philip preach
the same gospel, and was, on profession of that faith, baptized in
a certain water to which they came on their journey. Acts 8:26-39.
22. What is the next record of baptism reported in Acts of the Apos-
tles? A—That of Saul of Tarsus. Doubtless he was a believer.
Acts. 9.
23. How was he baptized? Neither while sitting or standing. He was
told to arise “and he baptized, and wash away thy sins.’’ Acts
22:16. He accordingly arose and accompanied him to a suitable
place and was baptized.
