Bobkittens Victims Of Fancy
Work by St. Mary's
Regulars.

With Shorty" McCarty nursing a
touch of tonsilitis on the sidelines,
the st. Mary's College Rattlers took
nice drubbing from the Southwest
Texas Teachers Bobkittens at Block
Stadium Saturday afternoon-for one
quarter.
Then "Shorty," the scrapping field
general and that part of the machine
which causes it to tick, told his
tonsilitis to get behind him or words
to that effect, took hand in the af-
fair and directed the Rattlcrs 10
35-to-6 victory.
Leave McCarty out Of it and you
have n toss-up. Up to the time he
took hold of things, the Bobkittens,
who bore n very, very close resem-
blance to the wcll-known Bobcats,
had been scrapping the Rattlers on
better than even terms. After punt
ing couple of times and getting
warmed IN, McCarty stood on his
4O-yard mark, shot . 30-yard pass
10 English and that clever end step
ped the remaining distance In no
time.
BROTZE'S TOE BUSY.
Brotze kicked perfect goal, as
he did also on four other occasions
during the afternoon, and the entire
complexion of the game had changed.
The Rattlcrs by that one decisive
thrust had displayed their true
strength, and the Kittens retired to
the nearest tree.
The Kittens came down long
enough late in the third period to
leave their mark on the Rather. how
ever. Morton flipped short pass
TO Morgan, who eluded McCarty and
raced half the length of the field for
their only touchdown. Goal was
missed.
Again. Just before the final whistle,
they started n determined passing
attack which gave them three first
downs and carried the oval from
midficld to the Rattlers' 10-yard line.
Four more passes went wild and the
Rattlers kicked to safety as the game
ended.
CROWD is SMALL.
Not more than 400 spectators wit
messed the game. The fans probably
were influenced by the general opin-
ion that the Bob:ittens were only a
scrub team, at best. and that the Rat
tiers would encounter very little oppo-
sition.
Coach O'Donnell also was influ-
cnced somewhat in that direction, and
really intended that his second-string
backficld should have the honor OF
vanquishing the visiting Kittens, but,
by the time the first quarter had pass
or. he began looking about for Kozel-
ski, Nesrsta, Jordt and McCarty. 1t
was mighty comforting to Mr.. ODon-
nell to find their smiling faces among
those present.
The Kittens brought a heavy, fast
team to San Antonio. They fought
like demons throughout the tusslc, and
any lesser team than the powerful
Rattlers would have had hard time
turning the trick. As is the case with
most reserve teams, however. they
lacked serious offensive. 1t is said
one touchdown better.
NO EARLY GAINS.
The starting st. Mary's backfield
quartet, with the exception of mig
Notava, was able to make no appre-
ciable gains through the strong Kitten
defense. After a preliminary rush, in
which Votava, Harm and Wills each
reeled off a first down, the play be-
came a punting duel between Morton,
Kitten quarterback, and Wills, with
the former getting the longer boots.
Thompson slipped through for enc
Kitten first iown, hut that ended their
offensive and KDzelski and 1ordt
came trotting out Just before the re-
riod ended.
AS they took their positions Tor the
second quarter, McCarty was o be
seen whispering directions for the Iext
play, and Nosrsta was at his half
back post.
The first pass McCarty threw did
the dirty work. Ii was long one and
Travelled like a shot. English spedrcd
it with his fingertips and had a clear
field TO the goal-line.
McCarty paved the way for the sec
ond Rather touchdown soon thereafter
when he took one of Morton's long
punts on the dead run and shot fiji
