annexing the regional Class B foot-

Lions 6-0 here lastnight in a gruel-
ling, hard-fought battle before a
good-sized crowd.
By their victory, the Redskins,
champions of districts 39-B and
40-B, added the pennants of dis-
tricts 3 7-B and 38-B, formerly
held by Kenedy.
Yerger, substitute - back, drove
over the tou-dhdown in the first
quarter after the hall had been
advanced to the 8-yard line. The
try for .extra point failed.
Martin Stuart and Stanley Reed,
Donna powerhouse backs, gained
much yardage throughout the rest
of the game, but Che Lions grew
stubborn and protected their goal
line.

The second period saw the visi-

passing ability but he gave the

to E. J. McKnight, Elliott Bow-

a pass that made Mexia’s only
score, in the third period.
Three times Alexia held for
downs in the shadow' of the goal
posts, but Greenville held poses-

part of the afternoon.
The first touchdow'n came when
Easter drove one yard through

Marshall made the third on a

shot a lateral to Bowers.
Greenville sent a special train-
load of fans here for the contest
which drew a crowd that over-

over temporary bleachers in the
end zones. ,
By winning Greenville earned the
right to meet Corpus Christi next
