FLASH THEIR STUFF.

FLASH THEIR STUFF.
Seidel, Noonan, Miellio and Casey:
The very brilliancy and variation OF
their attack enabled them to overcome
- valiant defense thrown up by the
'a"r sturdy Buttons" and give Coach
Cozads scrapping little Yellowjackets
$500 their third straight Junior Academic
League victory. II to o.
That they did not run up larger
score was due in a great measure 10
the over-zealous work Of the officials
who penalized them a total of 30
yards during the course Of the game.
The line charging slightly too fast,
threw itself in motion time after time
a fraction before the ball was snapped.
Half a dozen such penalties came
after gains up to 20 yards had been
4 fs' made.
From the first play Of the game.
-. when Seidel looped a 30-yard pass 10
- sMicllo. the Yellowjackets kept up
4 1rpassing attack such as seldom seen
per on any kind of a gridiron. So wall
~ were the passes screened and so bull
l,A9 let-like the throws Of Seidel and
nor. Casey that the Buttons" were never
-r's quite able TO get their bearings.
MIELLIO GALLOPS.
:. And, when they were not whizzing
passes over lue utdus VI lutll w
ponents, the crack little backfield oc-
go cupied themselves in presenting their
unlimited variety of running plays,
- with darling MielliO tearing off sensa-
~ fional runs almost every time he
yer- carried the ball.
8 The perfection of the attack Coach
-a9l aCozad has built up about his back
field quartet is beautiful from the
spectators point Of view. The line,
nodded about Captain Ryan, has be.
come one Of the fiercest charging
combinations possessed by any San
Antonio eleven. So cleverly do they
,,block the man assigned TO them that
the backfield can run its sweeping in
reference with almost perfect knowl-
! edge of which and how many players
they will be required TO take out.
And what interference. The WAY
they chop down one after another Of
! the would-be tacklers resembles the
grain stalks before a scythe.
The Buttons" who indicated their
! power two weeks ago by holding
Alamo Heights High to one touch
down, tried by the consistent use OF
their star open field runner, Meng- |
hini, and a pleasing variety of trick |
formations TO match the YellOwjackets |
at their own game. But, for the ex-
ception of a squirt in the opening |
quarter. they were no match for their
talented opponents.
GOT FREE ONCE.
Menghini broke loose for several
flashy runs. once progressing as far as
the safety man, but for the most part
NE was either stopped in his tracks or
thrown for loss by the charging Vel
lowjaekets.
The Buttons" lost their only real
chance TO score when they fell heir
10 pair Of 15-yard penalties during
the first quarter. They had the ball
in their possession most of the period.
ST. Anthony's made its first touch
down on the first play Of the second
quarter. On tricky play, which in
volved several backfield men in the
business of dasbing here and there 10
distract the st. Mary's defense, Casey
dropped back and shot 20-yard pass
10 Noonan, who took in the remaining
! 10 steps TO the goal-line.
Fullback Harp" Casey made one
Of the prettiest dashes of the day for
the second marker. Gathering in
Gays punt on the 40-yard line, he zig
Jagged his way through most of the
~. Mary's eleven and across the finish
line. his interference was a thing TO
behold.
PENALTIES HELD EN-.
From then on out, the Yellowjack-
cts had things pretty much as they
pleased. Almost everything they tried
worked, but, every time they would
set out for the goal, good. healthy
penalty would crop UP. Once they
fumbled within the 1O-yard line. and
the final whistle blew just as Miellio
was dragged down on the one-yard
line.
The Buttons" saw very little Of the
oval during the second half. Right
End Lyons did most Of their PLAYING
during the last two periods. carrying
the ball on occasion for substantial
gains. The Yellowjacket discovered
. nice soft spot just inside his end.
