With Fresh Players To
Run Up Score

EDINBURG. Nov. 2O.-The
Schreiner Institute Mountaineers
proved themselves expert horsemen
Tuesday afternoon when they
flanked the Edinburg Junior college
Broncs and yet remained in the
saddle to "a 800 tune.
The Mountainegrs' superiority
was apparent from the outset, al
though they did not get their point
manufacturing machinery into full
operation until the last quarter.
They were a fleet. alert group that
took advantage OF every opportuni-
ty.
The Broncs put up a strong battle
for the first three quarters. but they
went down before a four touchdown
avalanche in the closing period.
This was precipitated BY a flood of
fresh players into the Mountaineer
lineup.
McCauley Stars
McCauley, Edinburg fulIback.
turned in a great game. His work
on the offense was good and he
backed up the line with lots of
drive in his tackles. McCauley
was by far the best Bronc on the
field.
Clyde Dabbs, former Austin high
flash. was the star or the Noun
taineer offense. billiard Is the
best known OF the Schreiner ball
carriers. but Dabbs stepped away
from him Tuesday. Taylor, Ses-
sions. Adams and Weatherby also
stood out for the visitors. Smith.
Coffman, Fain, Arlington and
Garrett we're in the midst OF tfg
fray all the time for the Edinburg
eleven.
The opening moments OF play
was featured by a 33-yard rip
through the line by McCauley.
The first touchdown came as a re-
suit OF a short Bronc punt, a pass
to Odams. a run by Dabbs. and a
PASS to billiard. This was the only
marker OF the first quarter.
Scoring Starts
Later in the second period, Nc
Cauley took q long heaye and
dashed to Schreiner's 30-yard stripe
before being downed. 1t seemed as
though ne were loose for a touch
down. Dabbs nabbed a pass TO
halt the threat.
The Mountaineers 1imbered up
their heavy artillery in the third
quarter. billiard spinning 45-yards
through the line for a touchdown.
In the last quarter Chenoworth
plucked a Bronc pass from the
ozcne and raced 65 yards to an
other marker. Taylor plunged r.
yards over the Bronc goal a few
moments later. Taylor also recov-
cred his own kickoff behind the
Bronc goal for another tally. The
arnag was wound up by Hover

for the Mountaineers' last tally.
