EVERY ISSUE A BOOST FOR SINTON AND SAN PATRICIO COUNTY
SINTON, SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, -OCTOBER 16, 1947
It was bound to happen sooner or
later, and to Beeville’s T-minded
Trojans went the honor of downing
the Sinton Pirates for the first
time this season. The score was
13-7 as two long gallops by fleet
Trojan backs in the first quarter
of the game spelled curtains for
the Pirates all-conquering record.
The scoring was confined to the
first quarter as the locals stormed
back after ttuf second Beeville
counter to notch their lone touch-
down.
It was a game replete with long
runs, the longest one being a 73
yard dash by G. Smith, Beeville
back, passes, fumbles and long
punts, and from a spectator's
standpoint was well worth. the
money. A crowd estimated to be in
excess of 3000 witnessed the fray.
The Trojans’ speed was well suit-
ed to the T, and on many occasions
their deceptive ball handling com-
pletely baffled the Bucs and caught
them off guard.
The victory was the third in a
row for the Trojans.-who have now
stopped Corpus Chrtetl .College-
Academy, Kenedy and Sinton after
losing to Weslaco and Refugio.
Monopolizing the ball during the
first half, in spite of the Trojan's
two touchdowns, the Pirates reeled
off 37 plays to their opponents' 20
to pile up a commanding lead in
first downs, which they never re-
linquished. . The final count found
them ahead, 15 to 10, however, for
the third time in four starts, the
locals were outdistanced on the
ground—-311 yards to 159. In the
air they again pushed to the fore,
gaining 55 yards on 7 completed
passes..They attempted 19. of which
two were intercepted by the visi-
tors. Beeville attempted three pass-
es, completed none and the other
two were grabbed by the Pirates.
The Bucs kicked off to open the
game. Three plays later the Tro-
jans had edged the ball to their 48
yard line, aided by a 5 yard penal-
ty assessed against the locals, and
then the Trojans scored. A hand
off from Reginald West to Gene
Hutchins found the latter breaking
thru right tackle and scampering
down to the Sinton four where Cen-
ter Martin Tidwell finally collared
him. Two plays later the Pirates
found themselves behind for the
first time this year as G. Smith
skirted left end from the six yard
line for a touchdown. A pass at-
tept with West on the pitching enrj,
failed and the score remained, G-0.
Louis Owen returned the follow-
ing kickoff to the Sinton 30. and the
locals proceeded to move to their
from which point Les Thorp
punted to the Beeville 13. West and
Hutchins combined to register a
first down on the 23, arid on the
next play the' visitors again found
the gate open and ttok advantage
of it to ring up another tally. An-
other handoff, this time to Smith
produced a touchdown, as the
speedy Trojan back broke thru the
middle of the Pirate defenders, who
were busy attempting to figure out
who had the pigskin, and started
off on a 77-yard goalward jaunt.
Tidwell made a belated effort to
overtake the speeding Smith, but
couldn't, quite catch up with him.
Gene Hutchins’ placekick sailed
thru the uprights to add one more
point and give the visiting eleven
a 13-0 lead.
Beeville again kicked off, and
this tjme the determined Bucs set-
tled down and decided to give their
followers something to shout about.
Takin on their 25 yard line, the lo-
cals marched down the field, chalk-
ing up four first downs enroute to
a touchdown, which Les Thorp
scored on a 10-yard end around
run. Tidwell’s kick was good and
^ the score became 13-7.
* Land's fumble, early In the sec-
ond quarter, which gave the Tro-
jans possession of the ball on the
, Pirate 17 yard line spread gloom
thru the partisan crowd. The Bucs
| proved equal to the occatlon, how-
ever, as Land atoned for his bob-
ble by intercepting a Beeville pass
on the ten.
Thorp's quick kick was then re-
ceived by the Beeville safety man,
Smith, on his 40 and returned to
the Pirate 37 where he fumbled the
ball and tackle Hugh Gossett re-
covered for the locals. This break
signaled the start of another drive
which saw the Pirates advance to
the Trojan 26, but at this point
Lady Luck suddenly switcher sides
and 3*nltb intercepted Thorp's
heave on the 20 to stave off a pos-
sible Sinton touchdown.
, The Bucs threatened again in
third quarter. Taking the ball

The District 39-A gridiron sea-
son reaches the halfway mark this
week"with the defending champion
Falfurrias Jerseys established as
favorites to once again cop the
bunting. The Herd's task however,
is not an easy one as a pair of dan-
gerous contenders—The Sinton Pi-
rates and the Alice Coyotes appear
to be quite capable of stepping into
that top spot should the Herd fal-
ter. The Coyotes are on the up-
grade after a very slow start, while
the Pirates, despite their first loss
of the season last Friday, are still
a tough aggregation.
The Jerseys blasted the title
hopes of the ambitious Freer Buck-
aroos with an easy 26-0 victory
in last week’s feature game. The
loss was the first of the 1947 sea-
son for the Bjucks, who had pre-
viously won three in a row after
knotting the Corpus Christ! Col-
lege-Acadcrhy Cavaliers in their
opener. Little 130 pound Alonzo
Lopez paced the Jerseys to their
lopsided win, scoring three touch-
downs. The potent Falfurrias elev-
en has now piled up a total of 142
points in five engagements, while
the opposition ha#been able to tal-
ly a mere 19.
The Sinton Pirates fell from the
unbeaten and untied ranks gs they
dropped a 13-7 decision to the Bee-
ville Trojans.
Taft’s Greyhounds roared back
from a non-conference defeat at
the hands of the College-Academy
Cavaliers the previous week, to
rout the Aransas Pass Golden Pan-
thers, 32-0. Alvin Becker, a very
Handy young man to have around
the premises, scored three touch-
downs and- passed for a fourth as
the Hounds rolled along to their
second straight circuit. win.
Alice had no trouble with Cuero,
scoring once in the first quarter,
twice in the second and again in
the third, to win going away, 27-0.
Reggie Dorsett was the Coyotes’
offensive star, crossing the payoff
stripe twice.
A trio of topnotch conference
games are on tap for this Friday
night, as the Falfurrias Jerseys
take it easy for next week's clash
with the Sinton Pirates.
Taft and Alice tangle in a cir-
cuit tilt in the Hub City. This con-
test brings together teams unbeat-
en in league play; the Hounds have
registered a pair of wins, while the
Coyotes have won one. The Coyotes
apparently have mastered the T.
and appear to be all set to go places
after their slow start. Things don’t
look too rosy for the Greyhounds
in this contest, and although Alvin
Becker, Ray Palmour & Co. could
make things a bit hot for the home
team, Ox Emerson’s gang has its
eyes on one more pennant before
stepping into District 16-AA and
should win in what could develop
into a very close struggle.
Sinton’s Pirates entertain the
Freer Buckaroos in another confer-
ence tilt, with the Bucs favored to
open the chase in winning style.

kle the Benavides Eagles in a
fight to determine this year’s cel-
lar occupant. The Eagles rested

first conference victory.

A $54,tC5-nudget has boon set for
the year 1948 in the 15-county Gulf
Coast Council which Includes 40
towns. While four of the towns In
the area rely on the Community
Chest Drives to handle their share
of the Scout program, the remain-
der, such as Sinton and Odem, raise
their quota by a determined one-
day push at which time all local
merchants are contacted.
*The realization of the good work
accomplished throughout the world
by the Boy Scouts is and should
be self-explanatory of a worthy
investment. In Sinton. five teams
have been selected to collect dona-
tions. They are as follows: 1) Roy
Moses, Captain,. Frank Wilson, W.

Woodward has been
on the road before returning to the
home field for their last two games
of tiie season.
While the Buckaroos have al-
ready played two league contests,
tomorrow’s engagement will be the j
Pirates' first in conference com-
petition.
Freer .will bring a team pared
by a couple of holdovers from last
season’s eleven—Deifino Laredo, a
slippery scat back, and Freddie Ro-
gers, a poWi i' runner, whom many
members of the Pirate squa'wt
doubtlessly remember.
Up iintil: a. Week Ago; the i’-iick'V-
rooit' had liad filings much tljeir

Mirando City■,-anil Be)iftv ides in ea-
sy fashion, in addition to deadlock-
ing Coi;pus Christ! College-Acade-
my in their opener. But what hap-
pened to them last Friday, their
ardent supporters^ hope will happen
to the Pirates tomorrow night. The
Falfurrias Jerseys, again in pur-
suit of the championship, dazzled
the Buckaroos with a display of
speed and blanked them, 26-0. Freer
however, was handicapped by the
absence of Laredo, its speedster,
who was sidelined^ due to an In-
jury and was forced to view the
game from the bench.
The Buckaroo comet is slated to
be back in action for tomorrow's
encounter, and that alone Spells
trouble for the Pirates unless they
are as successful tn shackling him
and Rogers as they were last aut-
umn.
In 1946 the locals and the Bucka-
roos met under somewhat similar
circumstances. The week previous
the Pirates had been edged by Bee-
ville, 7-0. while Freer had been
routed by Falfurrias, 33-0. The lo-
cals effectively stopped the Buck-
aroos’ running attack and went on
to win, 24-0, and from this corner
it appears that Sinton stands a
fair chance of repeating Its perfor-
mance, but by a smaller margin.
The elevens huve not mot mutual
opponents, therefore there Is no
way of using the time-worn sys-
tem of comparing scores In order
to obtain a hazy Idea as to who
should win. The Freer array, how-
ever, has tallied ill points, but 105
of these were scored against a trio
of none too strong opponents. The
Pirates' total of 49 points in four
games Is less than that of any of
the other conference, teams with
the exception of down-trodden Ar-
ansas Pass and Benavides, but
their opposition has been of a
stronger caliber as Robstown, Ken-
edy and Beeville are no pushovers,
and even little Ingleside 'proved to
be a tough nut to crack.

The 1948 campaign to be held'

niversary of the National Founda-
tion, established by Franklin D.
Roosevelt to "lead, direct and
unify" the fight against Infantile
paralysis. The March of Dimes each
January is the sole support of the
National Foundation.
Mr. Wilson formerly headed the
trustees of the University of Hous-
ton, the Houston Board of Educa-

the American Red Cross and served
on the Presiding Bishop’s Commit-
tee on Laymen’s Work of the Prot-
estant Episcopal Church, He was
1917 March of Dimes1 chairman for
Texas.
In announcing that Mr. Wilson
had accepted the state chairman-
ship, Mr. O’Connor revealed that
since 1943 infantile paralysis has
taken a tragic toll, with more than
72'000 Americans having been
stricken.
"Thousands,” he warned, “con-
tinue to face a long fight1 for recov-
ery. This summer, fortunately, we
had a ’breathing spell’ as polio inci-
dence nationally did not approach
the awful total of 1946.
"The, cost of the 1946 epidemic
alone will r^n to some $30,000,000
without taking into account the
large sums necessary to care for
those, stricken this summer. We dc
not know what 194S may bring, bul
we must be prepared."
Hunters Urged To
Use Care By Bell
Telephone Mgr.
With 2, 500 telephone wires shot
out of commission last year, the
Southwestern Bell Telephone Com-
pany today urged hunters to use
care in shooting at nr near its pole
tines, in the coming hunting season.
About one-third of all cases of
trouble on open wire long distance
telephone lines last year was trac-
ed to gunshot damage. G.C. Schnei-
der, telpphone comany manger, said.
"Even good shots miss occasion -
ally." Schneider said, “ and a shot
at a bird on a telephone line, or
flying in front of it. may cut a wire
and interrupt telephone service be-
tween towns until we can get men
out there to repair it. Some impor-
tant messages could he delayed."
Admitting that it might take a
lot of will power to pahs up a "fat"
shot. Schneider said, “care and
thoughtfulness oh the part of hunt-
ers now will go a long way toward
protecting the community’s vital
telephone service."
