the lighter Lockhart High lads,
hard-tackling band of gridiron per-
formers but outclassed on the whole
by their local adversaries, showed un.
mistakable signs of budding offensive
strength that may mean gobs of
trouble for later opponents when they
captured Fridays game at Schwab
Field by a score of 81 6.
There is speed in the slim legs of
little Jack Davis, quarterback, who
made several long gallops through
broken fields; there is power in the
drive of Captain Cal Surtees and big
Gene Bohne, who also snags a mean
pass and RACES around disturbinzIy
on the defense, and Gus Dwyer sup
plies an able brand of pass tossing and
can punt with any of en-.
Then there's stocky little Minor
Guilt to punch the line in a pinch
he should be better when his bad
shoulder is completely healed-and a
few others who show promise.
STRAIGHT FOOTBALL.
Tim Griesenbeck's team didn't do
any fancy tricks in the Lockhart
game, consequently most of the Of
fensive brilliance was demonstrated
between the two 15-yard lines. In
side these lines, where the Lockhart
boys fought hardest, straight foot
ball was not enough to advance the
ball consistently. However, Main
was showing nothing it could keep TO
itself and still win comfortably, and
straight football was all that was
played.
Lockhart put up a beautiful battle
in the first half, which ended with the
score 10. Hard tackling by Masur.
Coopwood, Robertson and others of
the Lockhart line, and all the backs,
together with occasional pretty dashes
by Terry and Sheehan and the punt
ing Of Sheehan, whose kicks were on
a par with Dryers, kept the ball
around midfield most of the first
quarter.
DAVIS ZIZ.ZAGS.
In the second, speedy Jack Davis
executed series of zig-zags through
the middle Of the opposition and
packed the ball within couple of
yards Of the goal, the safety man
nabbing him.
Lockhart took deep breath and
turned back Culli three times and
Surtees on the fourth down, taking
possession Of the ball.
But Davis ran back the kick-out
s yards to the 17-yard mark, cut in
through tackle for 3 yards, then
gave Culi three carries in succession
which put the ball forward 4 yards.

down. Surtees placekicked goal, as he
did after four Of the five touch
downs.
The Lockhart ends failed to get
down under the kickoffs and punts
and Gull and Davis did some long
running back. Davis galloped back
with the third period kickoff to Lock

finally knocked across the goal-linc,

territory.

Then Lockhart worked trick and
prevented shutout. Joseph faxed

down. Hill missed goal, making the
