off defeat by the huskies from Austin
in San Antonios first T. /. A. A.
game with forward passes in the last
three minutes, putting across n touch
down that made the final score a 6-6
7 tie.
Some 1900 fans, mostly in khaki,
saw the logged struggle between two
well-matched teams in the Fort Sam
Houston stadium Saturday afternoon.
There were only II first downs
made. Eight of these were credited
to st. Edwards.
The Saints offensive, however, was
inconsistent except IN one stretch just
as the first quarter closed and the
second began. A young man, named
Erspamer became very active about
this time, and with Tom Kilday, the
San Antonio star who performed with
very sore side, assisting, swatted
his way through the blue jcrseyed
BrownwoodcrS for short gains until
he reached the 10-yard mark. then
cut sharply in through the Hill Bill
lies right side and scored the st. Ed
wards touchdown. Malone missed
his kick for goal.
McINNIS STARTS 1T.
A tumble by Saint runner in st.
Eds territory was recovered by Nc
1nnis, Billy tackle, and was the signal
for opening up with the passes that
tied the score. Patterson, a rangy
individual, was injected into the
fracCs.
On the first play. McWilliams. an
other six-footer threw Patterson a
pass for a six-yard gain.
Then he threw him another for
three. They reversed the process on
the next play and Patterson passed
to McWilliams for first down III
yards from goal. This ended McWil-
liams' part in the procession.
Flack received the next pass-back
from the center and flipped the ball
over to Patterson who took his time,
spotted an ample blue jersey right
under the goal-posts and used that
jersey for his target.
End Trammel happened to be in
the jersey. He ieaped for the ball.
So did Saint defensive man. They
juggled it a moment on their finger
tips, then the Saint fell back, the
ball rolled down Trammel's arm into
his ti"ht grasp and he fell across the
goal for the touchdown.
RYAN BLOCKS KICK.
Captain Ryan, big Saint tackle,
blocked Jimmy Flack's kick for
what would have been the winning
point.
st. Edwards received the kickoff
after that and Chinksi hurled five long
passes, the second of which went to
Dyer for 10 yards and first down.
The fifth was Intercepted by Ham
molds, who scooted back 81 yards
with it. A line play was stopped.
passed failed and the game ended.
The Daniel Baker running offensive
was wrapped up entirely in one small
packagc-Jimmy Flack, as shifty a
little stop-go halfback as local fans
have seen. But the st. Eds tacklers
were through on Flack too quick, he
had little interference and he never
got free, although he brought several
cheers from the stands when he
threatened TO.
Flack also tossed the pass that
resulted in the longest single gain of
the afternoon. billiard accepted it, Il
short flip over the. line, and struggled
free to run 40 yards. He was
downed nine yards from the st. Ed.
wards goal. Erspamer got Flack
without gain, Hannah nabbed Stall
cup for short loss. Klein stopped
billiard, and then billiard missed
short placckicked field goal attempt.
IN MIDFIELD.
The ball was in midfield at the
quarter, the Saints starting their
drive that gave them Il second period
touchdown.
Near the end of the half. after
lot Of futile struggling and time out.
st. Eds got near enough to the
goal to try a field goal. Meredith
missed from the 35-yard line.
The game was not especially. bril-
liant but WAS hard-fought and the
tackling was good MS whole.
