0usiy by the Edinburg Broncs whip
plng them into a fighting frenzy. the
o,o~nsyille Junior college Scorpions
wheeled on the Edinburg gridders
mere Saturday evening and fought
ehelr way TO a 10 victory.
With the Broncs on a rampage in
me very shadow Of the locals goal.
tne tinal thrill of the whistle halt
60 the battle with a motion picture
iinish as the Brownsville pep squad
PLEADED Hold that line!"
The only score Of the bitterly
fought battle came on the fifth play
IN the second half. Quarterback
kasher shot a pass to Truett Roberts
near midfield. Roberts vas getting
cow the field his toes deep in the
500 and his back turned. AS Rasher
spiraled the pigskin he shouted a
warning. Roberts turned his head
!uS in time to take the throw over
MS shoulder. He raced so yards
across tho Broncs' goal line in one Of
she best exhibitions of broken field
running seen on the local grid this
year. Rasher's educated digit boot
cd the pigskin squarely through the
uprights adding the extra point.
Fighting Spirit
The dominant note of the entire
contest was the determined fighting
spirit of the Scorpion line which
was said to have been instilled by
the coach's talk in the dressing
room. The Broncs were taken by
surprise but managed to cop seven
first downs TO four for Brownsville
in the first half. Sweeping end runs
BY Jamerson in the second half kept
tnem on top again, making five tIIat
downs to Brownsville's three.
Shortly after their touchdown the
Scorpions threatened again. Edinburg
kicked to Rasher who returned Is
yards to his 32-yard line. He was
hit hard by a tackler and lost the
ball. Schafer recovered for the
Sccrps. Rasher stabbed the line for
one yard. A long pass, Rasher to
= Taber, had the stands on its feet
screaming as Taber raced down the
field to E%dinburg's 25-yard line.
Ceysnes was stopped at right end.
Taber's pass was incomplete. Taber
lost two yards hitting the line. The
threat was broken as the ball went
over on an incompleted pass on the
/ fourth down.
Bronc Attack Thrills
One of the rough spots IN the
game cropped out when the Broncs
marched the ball to midfield on sue
eess;ve downs only to let the pigskin
20 over on the fourth down, evident
ly q m~isjudgment. At this juncture
the Scorpion line led by "Chick"
Horton and Bob Myer. was ripping
through their heavier opponents to
frequently nail ball carriers behind
the line Of scrimmage.
Perhaps the most nerve-wracking
moments for local partisans came in
the closing plays when the husky
Jamerson, individual star Of the
gsne for Edinburg, strung put the
field behind him as he streaked to
Erownsville's 1S-yard line from the
rid-field stripe. McCauley made no
gain at the line. Another line buck
failed. The local forwards we're bat
ting fiercely in an effort 20 hold
their advantage while the Scorpion
fans held their breath at each play.
A let-up was experienced when the
Brcnes we're penalized 5 yarts for off
sides. A forward pass, backward
pass, and right end run combined
gained back their penalty and yards
10 spare. A line buck failed.
With the stands in a pent-up up
roar, McCauley whipped the ball TO
Immersion who was ferociously tackled
by T. Roberts on Brownsville's g.
yard line. McCauley tried to skirt
rirht end but made no gain. Over
anxiety was sending the men into
II - " - EItuhn-~ mae -,
sIized five yards for off-sides.
The game ended as Ceyanes inter-
eepted a forward pass and Rasher
| Iii the Bronc line.

fighting spirit Of the Scorpions had
Won over a team of greater individu-
