Cats Start Season Off
With A Bang

Chalking up % tallies to Hell
ena's goose egg, the Dunbar Bear
cats romped to an early season
victory last Friday at Kavanaugh
Field. Taking the boot-off, Co
captain Jimmy Rayburn trucked
70 yards through the broken field
supported by ten mems superb
blocking which wasn't repeated
that day, for the first touchdown
of the game and the longest run
yet, this season.
Most Of the Bearcat squal, COM

clash against the reputedly tough
East ArkansalIs, and while many
weak spots were obvious, Coaches
Brute Russell and Mex johnson
feel confident that the Purple and
Gold machine will be pigskin per-
lection when the Cats meet Tex
arkana next week.
Blocking Back Brilliant
Hickey" Covington, 100 pound
blocking hack, stood out in the
field last Friday with almost six
ty minutes of sweet blocking
which set the pace for the Bear
cat offense and led to the twp
touchdowns by Rayburn and Gray's
solo trip across the pay-line. Ray
burn gets running credit for two
touchdowns and one conversion,
Grey gets one touchdown aid a
lore extra point, with Sam Wheel
er cinching the total % with a
two-point safety.
Squad Tunes For Texarkana
Clash
With a tough dish coming up
as next weeks opponent, the
Bearcats got under way immediat-
ely this week, working out new
offensive tactics for the pending
Texarkana (Texas, on-conference)
game this Friday. Using a five

and six man defensive line last
week, Brute Russell states that
he will probably use different for
nations next week, but refused
to say which line or lines he
would use.
Texarkana, boasting a team
weight average OF 179:6 pounds,
usually plays much heavier
schedule than the Dunbar Bear
cats, indicating that this will be
one Of the local gTidders toughest
games this season. Dunbar, on the
ether hand, with the proposed
change in defensive tactics, will
probably prove match for the
Lone Star lads, and predictions
on score are so far in favor of
the Cats.
Pass Offense Lacking
In last weeks clash with the
Helena boys, Dunbar didn't click
on a single pass, making all gains
running. 1t is believed likely,
though, that every effort will be
made to perfect aerial blitz-
krieg this week, as passes will
doubtless prove the deciding fac
tor when these two evenly match
ed teams clash next week. Defense
against the loopers, however, prov
ed quite effective, and 81 per cent
of Helena's losses were intercept
ed or grounded by the Dunbar
secondary.
