The Eagles were sparked by the
brilliant running of Welby Wil-

in the third quarter when he re-

Wood, who alternated with Kiola

In Final Clash
By Keith Tye
Saturday when North Texas
meets East Texas at Commerce
in the game that will virtually set-
tle the Lone Star Conference ehain-
nionship, nine of Jack Sisco's hoys
will slip on their uniforms the
last time for the alma mater.
Heading the list of graduating
football players is Captain Bill
Sheffield, center, from Kirbyville.
Sheffield, who came here from La-
mar Junior College, has been a
regular on the Sisco squad for
three years. Last year he was
selected as all-conference center
and will probably be chosen again
this year.

With three wins in as many con-

The game is called for 2:30 p.m.
on the Lion field in Commerce and
when the Green and White take
the field they will be rated as
slight favorites over the crippled
