THE ALPINE (TEXAS) AVALANCHE
PAGE FIVE
MARATHON VS. ALPINE.
Last Saturday the football teams
of Marathon and Alpine high schools
stage 1 a game on Jackson Field to
entertain the ones who could not
make the trip to San Angelo with
the Lobos. Alpine romped away
with a 69 to 0 victory.
It was evident from the first play
just how the battle would go. Be-
fore the game was two minutes old,
Carter was racing around left end
for Alpine’s first six points. Moore
added the extra point with a neat
kick from placement.
splashed and skidded up and down
the field in a sea of mud. A heavy
rain, just before game time made
play almost impossible.
The game opened with Pecos re-
ceiving. The kick-off was returned
55 yards to the Buck’s 25-yard line.
This was the most sensational run
of the game, the Pecos back was
through the entire Alpine team, but
the ever alert Creamer overtook him
and forced him out of bounds. Pe-
cos made their only threat to score,

seven-yard mark, but lost it on

quarter, the Bucks opened their ae-

Pulliam was responsible for Mara-
thon’s two first downs. The Mara-
thon team is inexperienced, but gave
the Alpine line a tough battle.
Benson, Roberts, Watson and
Treadwell played fine ball for the
Buck fumbles and most of the Pe-
cos errors as well. The first half
went scoreless, and most of the bat-
tle was in midfield.
Soon afte the start of the second
half the Bucks splashed over a

Pecos safety was
a pass that was intended for a Mar- downed in his tracks on his own 45-
athon end, and raced 50 yards for a yard line. A costly error here cost
touchdown. Roberts, on a tackle the Pecos eleven a touchdown. The
around play dashed off long gains ! Pecos center tossed the ball far over
before he was brought down. Mul-the receiver’s head for a loss of 25
pine gained much yardage as the
result of this. With the ball in his
possession on the Pecos 20-yard line,
Allen tossed a short pass, asketbali
style, to Treadwell. Somehow he
managed to hold it, and waded over
the counting mark. The try for
point went wrong when Allen fum-
bled a bad pass from the center.
In the back field Allen, Carter and
Creamer played good ball on a slip-
pery field, while Young played a
good game on the defense. Playing
defensive ends Creamer and Allen
stopped most everything that came
their way, while Carter backed up
the line in great style. Moore, Skev-
ington, Benson, and Roberts played
good ball in the line. Mullenix,
while he was in the game, gave a
good account of himself, as did the
substitutes who followed him. These
were Davidson, Pulliam and Ridg-
way.
The Pecos eleven appeared great-
ly handicapped in the mud. They
played a bang-up, heady game, and
deserve much credit. Pecos mis-
cues, caused by the slippery ball
and muddy_ field, were quickly gob-
bled up by the alert Bucks and
turned into touchdowns.
Following is the Alpine lineup:
Left End—Treadwell.
Left Tackle—Roberts.
Left Guard—Mullenix.
Center—Skevington.
Right Guard—Benson.
Right Tackle—Moore.
Right End—Watson.
Quarterback—Allen.
Left Half—Creamer.
Right Half—Young.
Fullback—Carter. '

lenix kept gains through his tackle
down to very few yards. Moore and
Young ran interference in great
fashion.
This is Marathon’s first year in
yards, Pecos recovering. On the next
play, Moore, the Bucks’ best bet in
the line, broke through and nailed
the runner for a 10-yard loss. Pecos
then kicked, but the kicker was
football, and they deserve much rushed, and his punt was good for
credit. They are in there, always only 10 yards,
trying, and much is expected of but recovered.

first score of the game. Moore failed
to add the extra point.

yards and Alford skirted left end
for a touchdown, Wilson kicking
goal. Wilson, Hill and Wooldridge
later drove from midfield, where Al-
ford had intercepted a pass, to the
16-yard line and Alford passed to
Wooldridge for a touchdown. Hill’s
boot added the extra point.
Townsend Leads Game Fight
Alford’s passing, return of punts
and end runs, Wilson’s broken field
advances, Hill’s tackleb rushes and
the all-around work of Wooldridge
featured Tech’s offense. Miller and
Westerfelt were outstanding on the
defense. Outside of Bell’s passing to
Ford, Townsend, Kelly and Bell
were the Lobos’ best ground gain-
ers, but could not penetrate the
Matador line consistently. Kelly’s
retirement with an injury weakened
the Teachers. Their most conspic-
uous defensive players were G. Ham-
ilton, Bozarth and Cowan. Tech
made 12 first downs from scrimmage
to Sul Ross’ four. Almost evenly
matched in weight, both teams re-
lied largely on straight football.
Penalties were assessed freely Sat-
urday, most of them for offside and
interference, while Daly of Tech and
Bozarth of Sul Ross were ejected
from the game in the last few min-
utes of play for slugging, this being
the only unpleasantness to mar the
game. Fumbles nullified the Mata-
dors’ efforts to get started in the
first period, and both sides resorted
frequently to punting with little
advantage. Once Tech advanced
from its 36-yard line to Sul Ross’
31-yard chalk, where Alford tried a
field goal. The kick was wide. Lat-
er on a fake pass to Alford, Hamilton
Matador quarter, raced 34 yards and
nearly got loose, but was called back
because the passer had not been 5
yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Townsend had punted 62 yards
across Tech’s goal line when the
quarter ended.
Tech Stiffens Defense.
A blocked punt, which Townsend
covered on Tech’s 23-yard line, pre-
sented Sul Ross with a golden op-
portunity immediately after the sec-
ond quarter opened, but the Scarlet
and Black line-stiffened and Town-
send’s field goal attempt was wide
and low. A pass back over Town-
send’s head on the fourth down, giv-
ing Tech the ball on the Lobos’ 40-
yard line, paved the way to the first
score, Tech sending in Archibald
and Hill, who began ripping off
gains that put Alford within strik-
ing distance. Returning the kickoff
25 yards, Alford dropped the ball
when tackled and Sul Ross covered
on Tech’s 40-yard line. It was from
here that the Lobos marched to a
score, mainly on Bell’s two well
placed passes to Ford.
The third quarter was uneventful,
Townsend matching Wooldridge’s
and Alford’s punting. Again fum-
bles stopped several drives. A 30-
yard punt by Townsend in the last
quarter probably would not have
proven disastrous had the Lobos fol-
lowed the ball closely, but Alford
took the bounder on the full run
and ran the pigskin back 35 yards
to the 16-yard line. Hill bucked 4
yards, and Wilson went around the
right end for 4 yards more and first
“down. Hill made 3 yards on two
plunges and Alford skirted his left
for touchdown. Wilson, side-step-
ping beautifully through broken
fields; Wooldridge going around the
ends,a nd Hill, brushing tackle, now
made Tech’s charging irresistible.
Hill broke through for a first down
on the 16-yard strip, Wooldridge
went over right guard for 2 yards
and Alford passed to Woolridge for
the last touchdown. Tech had been
penalized 15 yards for interference
when the final whistle blew.
