Tigers Tie Bi-District Game;
Lose Decision on First Downs
After an explosive quarter
and a half In which each team
scored once the CUrksvlUe-
„ Kaufman bt -district fame at
Mesquite became r battle of
two powerful defensive teams
^trying for first downs as vlg-
" ’’orously as touchdowns for the
remainder of the game.
As It turned out three first
downs were the margin of vie •
tory for the Kaufman eleven who
will advance to regional against
Oalngerfleld next Friday night.
The game will be played at
f Tyler.
Clarksville scored first on a
75 yard pass from Quarterback
David BallewtoEndNlckDuren.
Duren snagged the long throw
about the Kaufman 40 and out-
ran the Lion secondary as the
clock ran out on the first quar-
ter. Bill Wallace kicked the
extra point.
The first time the Tigers got
the ball In the second quarter
they moved 26 yards In three
plays but lost a fumble on the
Kaufman 34.
The Lion's double-quick End
Wayne Johnson, who played In
the backfleld against the Tigers,
' got In the clear on the next
play and ran 69 yards for Kauf-
man's touchdown. MlkeYudlsky
added the extra-point with 8:23
remaining In the first half.
The^ Tigers started the game
at their best and ended It the
same way. There was no room
for criticism. It was remini-
scent of the ending of a de-
scription University of Texas
Coach Darrell Royal read on his
Austin television show a couple
of years ago.
' "A football player Is a won-
derful creature — you can
criticise him, but you can’t dis-
courage him. You can defeat
his team but you can't make
him quit. You can get him out
of a game but you cant get
him out of football. Might as
well admit It — be you alum-
nus, coach or fan -- ha Is
your personal representative on
the field, your symbol of fair
and hard play. He may not be
an All-American, but he Is an
example of the American way.
"He Is nidged, not for his
social standing, not for his
finances, but by the democratic
yardstick of how well he blocks,
tackles and sacrifices In-
dividual glory for the overall
success of his team.
"He Is a hard-working, un-
tiring, determined kid doing the
very best he can for his school
or college. And when you come
out of a stadium, grousing and
feeling upset that your team
has lost, he can make you feel
might ashamed with just two
sincerely spoken words ....
"We tried."
