inaugural by a score of 21 to 7.
The Bluecats drove to the Eagles
9 yard strip and again to the

for an automatic safety and the
first Coleman scores.

ince Sept. 1, with emphasis being
place, don fundamentals—the potent
that paid dividends in registering
the first victory of the season last
Friday. Blocking and tackling were
considered satisfactory for the first
out. More than 40 men are report-
ing for the Indian team this year.
“Our main handicap is inexper-
ience this year,” says Coach Dyer,
who exylains that there are only
five returning lettermen from last
year’s team. Coaches and fans alike
have been pleased with the hustle
an^l r mbit ion of the Indians and
predict a fine Black and Gold
touchdown machine before the sea-
son progresses far.
The Indians are among the best-
equipped and flashiest dressed
teams to make appearance in tills
section in years. New uniforms and
helmets of black and gold are most

defeat suffered at the hands of a
Class A club* by the Bearcats since
1940.
Medanich, operating behind a
turbulent Eagle foreward wall,
figured in all the winners’ scores.
In the opening quarter he picked
up 30 yards around end to place
the ball where Goody Sullivan
pushed over from the one-yard
line. MPdanich kicked the extra
point.
In the same period Jackie Ham-
mond, a guard, intercepted a Bal-
linger pass on the Bearcats’ 28 and
a few plays later Medanich bruised
oyer right tackle for 29 yards to
score. He missed the point.
In the third quarter Medanich
raced 35 yards on one play and 17
on another and then Bob Arm-
strong pushed over left tackle one
yard for the count.
Carl Black, Bearcat back, turned
in the invadors’ most exciting run f
in the third when he cavorted 46
yards to the two-yard strip only
to have the Eagle line held there on
downs. But when Paros attempted
to punt out from behind the goal
Skeeter Powers of Ballinger block-
ed the kiek and recovered it behind
the goal for the Bearcats only tally
Armstrong broke away for a 72
yard jaunt over center for thp next
Pecos score and Medanich failed
at try for the point. To climax the
game Bob Ervin ran 80 yards to
the Ballinger 10 and was caught
from behind by Black. Then Med-
anich later plawed over from thP
six.
