SCORING SPREE AGAINST FAST
new MEXICO VISITING TEAM

The Douglas Bulldogs went on a
scoring spree yesterday afternoon in
their game against the fast Deming,
N. M, team and fairly Swarmed over
their goal line after they got to going
At first the invaders held the home
pack fairly even but in the middle OF
the first quarter the Bulldogs took the
ball on their own 43yard line and IN
series of we'll executed plays carried
the ball to the 17-yard line. Quarter
back Hood was using good generalship
and he called Cummins, Miller and
5ohstadt to carry the ball. Miller
reeled of. 8 yards and CumminS took
it for six more and Bob" Hohstadt
bucked it over on line plunge falling
well over the line with the ball. Cum
Minis failed to concert as the ball was
passed wide. Score 6 to 0.
The Douglas team kicked and DEM
ing tried q few trick plays that gained
considerable yardage until the defen-
sive halves. came in and smothered
their plays. Cummins, HohStadt and
Hood in the back field Sn1eared two
passes and the Deming boys were
forced to punt. Douglas took the ball
on the S4-yard line and gained stead
lily until they reached the 15-yard line.
Cummins tried a drop kick on the
fourth down but it sailed wide by a
few feet. &
Deming took, the ball on the 20
ward line and in three plays gained %
wards Here the Bulldog line Stiffened
and they were forced to kick. Miller,
fleet-footed safety man, wriggled his
way back for S5 yards before being
downed. The Bulldogs rallied later IN
the second quarter and by successive
line plunges in which Hohstadt and
Cummins bore the brunt, the ball was
placed on the 12-yard line. Cummll1s
took the ball over on one play ana
later converted. Score 13 to 0. There
was no further scoring during the
half.
Coach Warren made several sub
stitutions, replacing Hood, CummlnS,
sanders, Franklin, Maloney Flores
and Thrasher with Coryell, Peryam,
Critchley, Bouldin, Chilson and Pow
ers.
In the second half the Bulldogs came
to life and looked for the first time
during the day like a championship
team. With the regular lineup back
again, Hood directed the destinies OF
the team and he; took them from their
own 3O-yard line for a touchdoWn
without once losing the ball. Using
Miller for sweeping end runs, ana
Hohstadt and Cunmins for line
plunges he sent Miller through on
fake play for the third touchdown.
The line functioned well in all the
line plays of the third quarter and be-
fore the smoke cleared had crossed
the lats white chalk mark three times.
In the second half ,Deming real
izing their inability to stop the Bull
dog ruSheS reSorted. to a close-ln for-
raation and tore off yardage right
through the Douglas line. The back
field was in tandem formation 1or
these plays and seemed to be getting
the Jump on the center passing the
ball, thereby driving through with
speed. Bodenhammer, Thrasher ano
Flores were made the targets FOL
this offensive, but when the back
field came in closer for secondary
defense this yardage was clipped on
the line.
Deming played a fast brand OF bal
in streaks and had the locals guess
ing on some of their trick formations
Douglas outweighed the visitors and
toward the close Of the game THIS
advantage began to tell as fresh re-
serves were thrown into the fray.
Miller of the Bulldogs was the out
standing star for the winners while
Kennedy was the big noise for the
losers. He was III almost every play
and bore the brant of the defense.
Cary, star tackle, came around on
a tackle-off tackle play and smashed
his way through for a touchdown
making the count 26 to 0. Cumnins
converted all his chances except the
first trial. a..
Deming allowed the bulldogs to
score a safety when wild pass in the
end zone forced them to down the
ball back of the goal posts adding two
points for Douglas Score at close OF
the third quarter. Douglas 20, Demlng
o.
Early in the fourth quarter Miller
took the ball on punt and ran the
ball back through a broken field to1
the longest run of the day.
Time after time the stocky, fleet
footed Bulldog halfback would run the
ball back from 20 to As yards. Miller's
playing all afternoon was spectacular
and he. gave the fans real thrill
by his ability to Squirm and wiggle
his way through a dozen players
Miller's spectacular gains afSer re-
ceiving punts and Hohstadt's line
punging ability were the features OF
the game. Cunmins and Hood also
did their share toward victory by reel
ing off long gains and Hood was on
the receiving end of several well exc
cuted passes, CurnminS to Hood. Sand
erS and Powers, wing men, also snag-
ged several long passes for substantial
yardage.
After the score had been increased
to So points Coach Warren put in a
number of reserves and kept only
Miller and Cary of the regular team
but the second string men gave 9
,r,trhtv on0d account of themselves
