|DGEWOOD—Resorting to an oc-
•nd deceptive lob pass, the
of Edgewood Hi last Friday
night utilised its advantage in power
to knock the Grand Saline Indians
out of the District 18-A football
race, 18-to-6.
The Bulldogs’ advantage lay in the
teamwork and coordination of the
frequently brilliant plays executed
when Judd Ramsey, Kenneth Gates,
Reggie Gilbert and James Ray Ed-
wards lugged the ball. The Bulldogs
racked up 16 first downs and piled
up 225 yards on running plays against
six first downs and 105 yards
the Indians.
The Bulldogs elected to receive. It
was a shrewd decision. Tackle Roy
Baldwin took the ball and returned it
to his own 40. A pass ate up nine
yards, and Gilbert quarterbacked R
for the first down of the game on the
Grand Saline 47-yard line. Edwards
and Gates chalked up two more first
downs, and Ramsey, Gates and Gilbert
alternated at lugging the ball to
the 'Indians 3, where Edwards bogged
down under an avalanche of Indians.
Taking the ball on downs, the In-
dians tried three plays before Ken
tenssret 'SETht
yard penalty set the Bulldogs back
to the 14. Gates plunged nine yards
to the five, Gates again pushed the
ball to the three, from where the
stocky Ramsey powered over for the
first score before the quarter was
half gone. Gilbert’s placement was
partly blocked and the score stood,
Edgewood 6, Grand Saline 0.
The quarter ended with Grand Sa-
line in possession on its own 40-yard
lir\e. On the third play of the second
quarter, Fullback Fernando Maciel
fumbled and Edgewood recovered. A
combination lob and lateral, Gilbert
to Hooks to Ramsey meant a first
down. Holding the Bulldogs, Grand Sa-
line assumed possession on the punt
on their Indian 20. In the following
series of downs, Kenneth Cofer fumb-
i led and -Edgewood recovered.

Indian line tossing the Bulldog quar
terback for an 18-yard loss. Punting
out of danger, the Bulldogs alert sec-
ondary, Gates, intercepted an Indian
pass and aided by the umpire returned
the ball about 10 yards. The umpire
happened to get in the way of every-
one. The Bulldogs were in possession
of the ball at the half. Score: Edge-
wood 6, Grand Saline 0.
Stiffening their defense, the In-
dians went into the second half to
stop the rampaging Bulldogs cu the
Indian 25. But a pass, Joe Cofer to
Jack Perry was intercepted by Gil-
bert in midfield. Two first downs put
the ball in scoring position, but Gil-
bert elected a field goal. It was wide
of the uprights. The quarter ended
with Grand Saline in possession on its
20. But an Indian fumble on the 20
was recovered by Edgewood, and the
powerful little Gates carrying the
ball to the 1-yard line on a reverse
over his weak side. On the third play,
Gilbert lobbed a pass to Hooks for
the touchdown.
Again, the Bulldog placekicker
failed to convert, and the score was
12-0, Edgewood.
On straight football, the Indians
worked the ball to the Bulldog 20,
where Kenneth Cofer sustained a
slight leg injury. Maciel relieved the
scatback, who had been bottled up
all evening, and on the f it play,
For Dallss "B"
The Grand Saline Indians, bruised
*n“ Mattered in the Edgewood game
last Friday night, preparing this week
for the non-ccnference game with
North Dallas’ Bulldog ‘<B" team at
Persons Field. Kickoff will be at
p. m.
There was no basis of comparison
between the two teams, but the first
team Bulldogs of North Dallas Hi'
have been punishing their opponents
this season.
Originally scheduled for Sept. 21,
the Indian-“B" game was postponed
because of heavy rainfall.
The Indians apparently came
through the bruising Edgewood game
with only minor aches and pain,
principally in the vicinity of the heart
over the loss of the important game.

Kaufman, 40-to-0
VAN-—The Vandals put themselves
on notice to the ranking Edgewood
Bulldogs here last Friday night as
a football team to contend with in
the 18-A race by racking up the
Kaufman Lions, 40-to-0.
Coach Charles Webb’s, smarting
under four non-conference losses and
a 7-to-7 tie with the Terrell Tigers,
ran wild over the Lions, and stifling
the visitors’ running attack before
it got started.
The Vandals came through the
game with only minor aches and
bruises and will journey this week to
Wills Point to tangle the Tigers in
a district game. Terrell’s 19-to-7 win
over Wills Point indicates that the
Vandals will take the home team.

U. S. Navy, has been honorably dis-
charged from the Navy from the

cific theatre of war, his last station

League Leadership
By their unmerciful beating of the
Grand Saline Indians on their home
field, the Edgewood Bulldogs gained
undisputed possession of the District
18-A lead, holding the top conference
rung with three clean-cut victories
to no defeats. '
The defeats virtually eliminated
Grand Saline from the conference
race, the Indians now showing a per-
centage of .500, with 1ft wins and
IVt losses. The half game represents
a tie with the Mineola Yellow Jackets,
and the win a 49-6 win over the Kauf-
man Lions.
Edgewood’s drubbing of the Indians
leaves the powerful Bulldogs without
a contestant for the league leader-
ship.
Van, by defeating the lowly Lions
of Kaufman 40-to-0, assumed second
place with 1% wins and a half loss by
virtue of a distasteful 7-to-7 tie
with Terrell two weeks ago .
Terrell’s Tigers growled a warn-

by knocking the Wills Point Tigers
from the undefeated ranks with an
impressive 19-to-7 victory. Terrell is
