which the Fort Bliss officers could
not stop. the New Mexico Lobos
ran away with a thirty-five tc
naught victory over the FL Pasc
invaders at varsity field yesterday
afternoon. At no time in the en-
tire battle was the Lobo goal in
danger, but the last white mark
in the Ell Paso territory was
crossed five times by Coach Roy
Johnson's husky charges.
| Jones, quarterback on the varsity
proved himself the chief luminary
of the afternoon, scoring three
of his teams touchdowns and con-
tributing a series of spectacular
runs through enemy territory.
Once he wormed his way through
the entire officer eleven, only to
be trailed from the rear and cap
tured with a clear field ahead of
! him.
Greenleaf at tackle proved to be
a consistent ground gamer for the
New Mexico crew. Until Ell Paso
began to expect him, he reeled off
| five to ten yards with every effort
every time his signal was called
w. Hernandez and Whitley made
good gains, but the work of Jones
stood out In sharp relief to every
| thing done around him.
Neither team relied upon the
| aerial attack to any extent, the Of
ficers because they could not han
die it and New Mexico because
they did not need it. Texas failed
every time the ball was shot in the
air. except for miracle catch
which went for a yard gain. New
Mexico annexed two successful for
ward passes, the first two the Lo.
hos tried, but neither went for very
much yardage and two later at
tempts We're grounded.
The charging power Of the var
sity line was shown when two for
ward passes were broken up at the
starting point. and punt was
blocked. Other punts escaped by
narrow margins, the Lobo linemen
racing back upon the punter on
every occasion.
New Mexico lost an easy touch
down when Referee Addison
Moore called one of the unfortu-
mate attempts to pass simply an
intercepted pass instead of a free
ball. A New Mexico man secured
the pigskin and started toward the
goal when the referee called him
back. Coach Johnson protested
against the ruling and Moore
changed his mind, giving the var.
sity the ball where the runner
stopped.
Moore had trouble with Texas
also, the Fort Bliss quarterback
shouting after one decision
you're a fine referee. You dom;
know enough to walk out with the
ter"
Weaver, the Fort Bliss right
half, made the best showing for
the visitors, although Kalmar,
When shifted to quarter. added a
little yardage. The New Mexico
line was alright and the few gains
registered by the Pass City crew
resulted when runner was flung
wide around end.
Neither team counted In the
first quarter although the Lobos
pushed the ball into enemy terri
tory. With the opening of the sec
ond, Jones hit his stride and ripped
off two big gains. Greenleaf got
under way and made a first down |
before stopped. With four yards
to go. Jones slashed his way |
around short end ana went over
for the first score. Greenleaf |
kicked goal.
Varsity kicked to Fort Bliss.
Bliss lost five yards on the first
play and gained back three on the |
next two. Jones ran the punt back
eight yards and made first down
on the next play. Two bucks net
led nine yards; Greenleaf reeled
otf several yards, and W. Herman
1ez carried the ball across. Green
eaf again booted goal.
Varsity kicked again. Bliss at
ompted a pass which was knocked
own as it was leaving the hurler's
Iands. Moore called it an incom-
,iete pass, but on Johnsons objec-
ion, gave it to varsity where a
,obo had stopped carrying it. After
| series of plunges and end runs.
Jones went over for his second
counter and Greenleaf kicked goal,
eaving the score II to where it
stood at the end of the first half.
Early in the second half, the
larsity made its first punt and the
leXas quarter ripped off a fine re-
urn. A Texas punt was blocked,
Texas recovering. After a few
ries around end, one of which went
airly well, Texas punted to Jones,
Who snaked his way through the
Bliss team only to be caught from
behind as he squared away for the
print to the goal.
Varsity then completed its first
Onward pass and Jones made 1t a
lrst down through center. A sec
md later, he hurled himself wide
round end and registered another
Greenleaf kicking goal.
In the fourth quarter, Jones made
spectacular return of a punt,
irving along when he appeared to
,e tackled. Another forward pass
,aved the way for Whitley to go
cross for the fifth touchdown of
he game.
Coach johnson sent in a string
f substitutes In the closing min
ties of the game, replacing virtually
lis entire first team line.
Early in the game, White and
Sumpke had a personal encounter
,hich le / to the banning of both
rom the field. This possibly ac-
ounted for the varsitys desire to
nit the aerial attack, White usu-
lily being on the receiving end of
asses.
