ulOer a ol-O avalanche mere FRIDAY
The pass was the most sensational
play seen here in many years. Year
the middle Of the fourth quarter.
Brownsville had the ball on her
own 40-yard stripe. The oval was
snapped to Samano. He backpedsled
as his line blocked off wOuld-be
tacklers and as Cabler sped off
down the field. AS Cabler drew
even with the Harlandale safety.
Samano cut loose with a mighty
heave from his own 20-yard par
ellel. The pigskin described a beau
tnul parabola with Cabler still
sprinting. He and two Harlandale
players were making for the spot
where the ball was TO come down.
Cabler leaped high between the In
dams to take the long heave. He
fell over one Of the tackiers as he
came down. but retained possession
OF the pigSkin. The ball was eight
4 yards from the visitors goal when
the whistle ended activities.
Crowd Ga-Ga
The crowd was dumbfounded for
an instant and then burst loose
with a roar when il realized that
football history had been made.
The Spalding's official football guide
gives as the longest forward pass
for the period Of 1906-1929, a 10
yard heave from Muller to Ste
phens in the California Ohio state
game Of 1920. The second longest
was good for 65 yards. II was
thrown by LeGendre in the Tulane
Detroit tilt Of 1920. According TO
this, Samano's throw Is the second
longest made in the modern his
tory Of football, high school. col
legiate, or otherwise. The stands
went absolutely ga-ga wnen the
full significance Of the pass soaked
in.
The visitors were no match for
the Screaming Eagles and there was
no deliberate effort TO run up q
score. Second string backs held
complete sway for a quarter and
a half as the regulars sat on the
sidelines watching the oval play
back and forth in Harlandales ter
ritory.
Backs Rampage
Newman, Barnhart, Cabler and
Samano, first string backs, went On
a rampage while in the game. Ihey
accounted for 1872 yards from
scrimmage between them. Samanos
plunging was very effective and ne
iunged over four of the nine Eagle
touchdowns. Newman got away
for the longest run of the day when
he sprinted 81 yards Tor q touch
down near the end OF the third
quarter. The entire squad was
clicking off with the precision Tor
which Coach Doug Fesseloen
elevens are noted. The line ripped
gaping holes IN the Harlanca!e Tor
ward wall for the ball carriers.
Bennett, OBryan and Summers
led the attack. Grove, LETT END,
played an unusually good game.
