San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-12

Total failure OF the forward pass
ing game which sent many earlier
rivals to lopsided defeats daubed the
first blot of the season ON the record
of the husky st. Mary's College Rat
tiers before a huge Armistice Day
crowd at Schwab Field, Dallas Uni
versity's golden-jerseyed Hilltoppers
winning logged struggle from the
San Antonians by score Off to O.
While Walter Will, second-string
quarterback, proved himself an able
field general and performed creditably
in the actual business of advancing the
ball and keeping the other fellows
from doing it, the Rattlers felt keenly
the absence of Shorty" McCarty and
his uncannily accurate running passes.
McCarty was not at the game be-
cause of the death of his father. =
st. Mary's attempted 10 passes,
most of them long heaves from Brotzc,
called back from end to do the pass
ing, the rest by Will and Dick Harm.
Only two of the Is worked, while four
were intercepted and seven incom-
pleted, The two successful passes
were from Will to. Votava for IA
yards and Will to Jordt for three.
BETTER IN RUNNING.
Dallas was not much better in the
air, completing but five out of Il
none for long gains, and having two
intercepted. but, after the first quar-
ter, the Hilltopper running attack
kept the locals so busy their own of
fensive sparkled not at all, and the
visitors checked up an even dozen first
downs to the Rattlers' five.
Seven of these Dallas first downs
were registered in the final quarter
when Fait Elkins, the former Haskell
Indian star. ably assisted by slip
perry. hard-running, barrel-chested
young man named Moran, galloped
around in a fashion distressing to st.
Mary's adherents.
Even at that, it took "break" to
provide the lone touchdown of the con-
test.
DRISCOLL THE HERO.
Pat Driscoll, who stamped himself
as one Of the classicst defensive CEN
ters fans here have seen, gets credit
for the play that won for Dallas.
Elkins had just cut loose in the
opening minutes Of the second quar-
ter with the longest sprint of the aft
ernoon, q dash of some 81 yards right
through the Rather team. Captain Car
yer having had TO run him down and
nip him by the heels % yards from
the st. Mary's goal. A tumble lost
three yards, Moran picked up but four
and Hynes missed pass. Moran tried
a placekick and it fell short across the
goal-line. That gave st. Mary's the
ball on the 20-yard line.
On the first play, Driscoll crashed
through and blocked Votava's punt.
The ball spun back over the goal with
Driscoll and End Smalling--a nifty
performer. by the way-in hot pur-
suit. Smalling fell upon it for the
touchdown. There was brief argu-
ment about whether it had gone out
Of bounds first, but the score stood,
and it was enough to win.
Elklns placekicked goal, making
the count 10.
OPEN UP STRONG. 3
The game started as il st. Mary's
would play the Hilltoppers off their
feet. Jordt whisked down the field be-
hind the Rather kickoff and nailed
Seay with the ball on the 20-yard line
The left side of the st. Mary's line
threw Hynes back and Prudhomme,
who started as punter, played right
into the Rattlers hands by kicking
out of bounds, 81 yards from his own
goal.
But st. Mary's messed up the op-
portunity when a pass was tried on
first down. Watt leaped for Brotzc's
heave right at the goal-line and
brought it back 10 yards. Hynes lost
Prudhomme, OH his second kicking at
tempt, sent the oval down to mid
field.
A couple Of punting exchanges be-
tween Will and Prudhomme were fol-
lowed by the Rattlers' one and only
sustained drive for the goal. With
Jordt and Nesrsta starring and Ko-
zelski bucking his 3 yards on almost
every carry, three first downs were
made and the ball placed 90 yards
from the enemy goal.
Here Dallas line frightened, KO-
zelski made only 4 yards in two tries.
Jordt was stopped and Driscoll, on
the last down, hooked Nesrsta by the
heel and Dallas took the ball. A punt
after one running play put it out Of
danger.
INDIAN CAN KICK.
Elkins took over the punting du-
ties about this time and his long,
high boots got the abs and obs from
the crowd. Interception Of n couple
Of passes put the fight in Rather ter
