ough training.
For eight minutes, the West Texas
Military Academy team played the
Breckenridge High Eagles off their
feet in the Academic League con-
test on Schwab Field Wednesday aft

ridge backs moved the ball forward
seven yards, while West Texas tack
lers flipped them back nine and the
officials took off five yards more for
an offside.
Then Bobby Cannon's machine began
functioning. Bob Fenner. Posey FL
kins and "Squawk" Veltman, operat-
ing behind a charging line, gave cor

No FIRST DOWNS.
Try as they might, the Cadets could
do nothing with the Breckenridge de-
Tense and failed TO make a first
down.
The Eagles defense probably ranks
with the best in the state and many
another team has failed to pierce it /;
in fact. the Breckenridge goal-line is
uncrossed this year, the only scores
registered against the team having
been made on field goals.
West Texas was far from the team
that neatly dispatched San Antonio
Academy some days ago. The pass
ing attack that won the Academy
game was a flop. Perhaps it might
have worked early in the game be
fore Cadet regulars began leaving The
game with injuries, but it wasn't tried
until hope and the game were lost.
Breckenridge handled all Cadet

after Bubbles Smith was inserted az

catapault thrusts.
Breckenridge made only eight first
downs. but the punch was always
available when it was needed.
Fenner scored the first touchdown
on a line smash. Bass missed the
gOal-kick but the point was allowed
because West Texas was offside.
