CURRY FLASHES
IN CADETS
TRIUMPH
Kilgore Uncovers New Star
in Defeating St.
Mary's.

academic football horizon Friday af-
ternoon in the person of "Bub" Curry,
darting, writing little halfback on
"Kotzy" Kilgore's West Texas eleven.
By the time he and his ten satellites
decided to call it day and come in
out of the cold, Dale McCoy's fight
ing little st. Mary's Academy gridsters
had been hurled back 20-to-0 for their
first defeat of the season.
Curry, who was kept out of play
practically all of last season because
of an injured shoulder blade, is APP
parently out to make up for lost time.
1t was he who, after muffing a pass
from center in the first period, doubled
back 10 yards to exactly midfield,
threw off half dozen would-be
tacklers and raced through broken
field to the first touchdown. 1t was
this counter which broke st. Mary's
collective heart and made the final
result a foregone conclusion.
Curry it was, also, who scrambled
off tackle for 10 yards in the third
quarter to add West Texas final
touchdown. He was a thorn in the
side of the Saints all afternoon and
proved more nearly unstoppable than
any man on the field.
HIGH.CLASS HELP.
However, in justice to Curry's team
mates, it may be said that he had
plenty Of high class assistance in
subduing the scrapping little crew
which held San Antonio Academy TO
6-to-6 tie last week. The Cadets
displayed a powerful offensive and
even more powerful defense. With
two weeks more practice they will be
one of the most dangerous grid ma
chimes in the Academic League, bar
ring none.
st. Mary's took the initial kickoff,
and, after failing TO make headWay
through the Cadet line, kicked 20
yards with the wind and CARA, flashy
little end recovered. With the ball
on West Texas 10-yard line as the
result of a long pass, Fell to Nc
Twain, the Saints were held in their
tracks for three successive plunges at
the line. 1t was then that they made
their only scoring threat Of the game.
Little Cara raced far into the
Cadets inner defense and across the
goal-line, leaped into the air for Fell's
long pass, felt it for moment against
his finger-tips and fell in heap as
the ball bounced on over the grass.
FLASH IN THE PAN.
This sustained offensive of the
Saints, which took them the length
of the field, proved to be a flash in
the pan, and as soon as the ball could
be brought out to the 20-yard line,
the Cadets started q return march
back up the chalk marks which ter
minated in curry's long sprint for
the initial touchdown. Butler kicked
goal.
The Cadets second touchdown came
after successive plunges by the entire
backfield, terminated by Fullback
Baggett's vineyard dive across the
line. Butler again kicked goal.
Curry darted over for the third
counter late in the third quarter,
after which Marcus missed his try
for goal. The last period was fought
on almost even terms, with the Cadets
apparently satisfied with their lead.
Outside Of Curry, the outstanding
performers for the Cadets included
Baggett, fullback, who was good for
a short gain practically every time
he handled the ball. and Bailey, who
played a fine defensive game at left
end. The Saints opening offensive
saw six straight plays aimed at
Bailey's wing without a man getting
past the line of scrimmage.
ST. MARY'S STARS.
Fell, right half, and the diminutive
