New Mexico Aggies Defeat
HPC Yellow Jackets 20 to 7
By Paul Ferguson
LAS CRUCES N.M. Sept. 20
The New Mexico Aggies dropped
v the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets
20 to 7 in the season opener for
both clubs here Saturday night.
Aeriel Barrage Muffed
The Jackets were prepared to
launch a heavy aeriel barrage
against the Aggies but a high
wind began to blow shortly after
the game started and all but
wreaker the Stinger aerial threat.
Another sore spot for the Jackets
was a mass of costly fumbles. The
Jackets fumbled six times during
the game to lose five of them.
Al Dicarlo of the Aggies scored
first after one of his mates had
fallen on a Stinger fumble on the
Howard Payne 30-yard line. Di-
carlo plunged over from the 10
and the conversion was good giv-
ing the Aggies a 7-0 lead.
Jacket Fumbles Aggie Gain
Another fumble set up the
Aggies second tally. The Stingers
fumbled and the Aggies recovered
on the HPC 20. Jimmy Hays
tallied from the one-yard line
and the try for extra point failed.
The Aggies broaded their lead
to 13-0 just before intermission.
The Jackets marched downfield
from their own 20 to the Aggies
44 before another fumble was
recovered by A&M. The Aggies
then began their final touchdown
drive. Without relinquishing the
ball they moved to the Stinger
10 where Jimmy Hays plunged
through to score. The try for
extra point was good and the

final score was set at 20-7.
Complete 13 Passes
Despite the vicious winds Mel-
vin Lindsey of the Stingers was
able to complete six of 13 passes
attempted. Melvin White was his
principal recevier on the success-
ful tosses.
It was an Aggie fumble that set
up the lone tally for the Sting-
ers deep in the third period. S. V.
Box fell on the Aggie miscue on
the A&M 35. The Stingers then
began their only successful drive
to paydirt. Facing a fourth down
Ben Doyle Sudderth plunged over
from the Aggie two and Melvin
Lindsey booted the extra point.
Hold Scoring Threat
In the final period the Jackets
stayed off what seemed to be a
definite scoring threat when the
Aggies fired an aerial into the
end zone but Bill Jones inter-
cepted for a touchback.

Editor
God walks here; the shadows
speak
with voices given them by the
dead
and sway to draw Him to a bleak
breast robed in flags of truce
drenched red
that enfold and smother the meek
in death and bend a haggered
oemon's head
to kiss His holy cheek.
God walks here; the vultures cry
with heathen hunger licentious
lust
for life that decays souls that sigh
in final agony. The rust
and grass of time will soon ally
this place with the Forgotten but
God must
still walk here; and He will weep
'Oh why why?"

puzzled.
Nora stood behind Oscar.
She
was crying.
(Crying? Why should she cry?)
"Oscar if you don't tell him
I will."
"Be still Nora" said Oscar "be
still and I can tell him my own
way."
Nora didn't say another word.
She stood there miserably watch-
ing Sid's face. He was confused
hurt bewildered. It seemed an
eternity until Oscar began talk-
ing. "Sid you know that Nora and
me we Well the Good Lord
never saw fit to bless us with
children of our own. For almost
fifteen years it's been that Nora
and me have prayed for a little
one. And when we saw you that
day in the candy store we thought
our prayers were answered."
Oscar wouldn't let himself look
at the boy. To occupy his hands
he played with a napkin folded
it crumpled it folded it again.
"We wanted to adopt you Sid
and we talked to Miss Brown
about it when "
He broke off and Sid looked
at him fixedly. Only his eyes be-
trayed what he felt.
Nora's voice was hard unsteady
when she spoke. "We are going to
have a baby Sid and we can't
adopt you now."
She turned from him and her
shoulders shook with her crying.
After that no one said anything.
There was no sound except Nora's
soft weeping. Oscar was looking
down at the cold food on his
plate.
Sid sat very still. After a long
while he got up and walked out
of the house. He didn't say good-
bye. He didn't look back at them.
He walked down the road to the
highway where he sat down and
waited for the bus.
