SAN BENITO. Oct. 27s-Surging
forward like a tide that swept every
thing before it the San Benito Grey
hound machine buried Harrington,
and the Harlingen record for the last
three years under q flood Of touch
downs on the local field Friday aft
ernoon, to win by the top heavy
score Of 80 to 6.
A crowd Of about three thousand
fans witnessed the San Benito team
rise to new heights, and the Harlin-
gen eleven 90 down to singing de-
feat before its ancient enemy OF the
gridiron.
San Benito scored in every quar-
ter, and made three Of her six touch
downs in the third quarter.
The lone tally Of the Harrington
team came when there was only two
minutes left TO play, Harlingen car
rying the ball down the field and
across the goal line with two long
passes, and several plays through
and around the line.
Terrific plunges through the line
by Dodson, which accounted for
gains as steadily as n clock. sensa-
tional runs by Adamson, and con-
sistent playing Of Carter, Welch and
Horkman featured the backfield at
tack Of the Greyhounds, and ac-
countde for the score.
Making this showing possible was
the sturdy playing Of the line, out
weighed by Harrington, but which
held like a stone wall during prac-
tically the entire game, and which

to let the San Benito backfield men
through.
The Steele-Murray combination Of
passing for Harlingen failed TO ma
terialize, Murray clubbing the only
pass which came within reach of
him. and it was Lawrence and Jar
rett on the receiving end of the only
two passes H~arlingen completed.
The most sensational feature Of
the game came in the third quarter
when Adamson raced through the
center Of the Harlingen line, shook
off three tacklers, eluded the safety
man, and went over the goal for a
60-yard run and touchdown. In the
ten times that he carried the ball
from line of ~scrimmage Adamson
made a total of 1877 yards, or an av-
erage of 10.7 yards each time. Coach
Morrison kept him out during the
first quarter. and jerked him near
the end of the third quarter.
The dependable line plugging Of
Dodson accounted in a large meas
ure for San Benito's top-heavy score.
He carried the ball from line OF
scrimmagc 80 times. made a total OF
$50 yards, for an average Of almost
five yards for every time he carried
IL. and in only three plays out of the
50 did he fail TO gain ground. His
longest run was an lS-yard race
around right tackle.
Welch and Horkman both reeled
off 80 yard runs during the game.
and were consistent ground gamers
along with Carter, who played his
best game Of the season against Har-
lingen.
San Benito made a total Of 90 first
downs against 6 for Harlingen.
The head-up playing of the San
Benito line gave them a slight
break on the many fpmbles, al
though twice San Benito lost the
ball 70 Harlingen on families. Zum-
walt, Todd, Captain McWilliams. and
the other linemen helped 10 push
forward in the San Benito offense.

gen to gain ground excep: an open
ing threat at the beginning Of the
game, and the last minute charge
which brought a touchdown.
The Harligen line three times
frightened under the shadow Of the
goal line and held San Benito for
downs. The Cardinals battled even
harder in the last quarter. with de-
feat a certainty. than they did earl
