The Apache sentinel., 1943-11-19
Sou Wins Runner-Up Berth;
! Defeats Division ArtiIIeryl4-6

tie to the runner-up position in the
Fort Huachlca 1943 series with
three wins, one loss, and one tie in
their five games, by defeating Divi-
sion Artillery 14-6 in a hard-fought
and spectacular game on Wells
Field last Sunday.
1t was not an easy victory The
Artillerymen made more first downs
and completed more passes than
did the PoStmen, and in the third
period scored a touchdown through
sheer power as the elimination of
the longest sustained attack main
tanned by either team Sou, how
ever took full advantage of two
scoring opportunities in the first
half and on the defense blocked
three kicks and intercepted four Ar
tillery passes at critical moments, in
addition to holding for downs in the
fourth period with the count first
and-ten on their own 18.
Post Scores First
Both elevenS were apparently so
highly keyed up that number of
miscues, some contributed to by
hard tackling, were made before
either team settled down to real
business. SOUS opening kickoff
reached only the Artillery 43-yard
line A few moments later, after
two exchanges Of kicks, an SOU
tumble was fallen upon by a Red
shirt. Midway in the period the
Postmen got started and made two
consecutive first downs, only to
by the Artillerymen, who promptly
returned the compliment by another
tumble which was retrieved this
time by SOU on the Artillery 8-yard
line. Two plays thereafter, Watson
of SOU rushed the ball over for a
touchdown. The try-for- point went
right through the middle and the
score was TO, Post leading.
Early in the second period, with
Division Artillery backed up against
her own goal, Motley, Post left
tackle, broke through and blocked
a kick on the Artillery 5-yard mark
crossed the goal-line standing up.
His kick was again good and the
score was 14-0.
There was no further scoring in
this half, although SOU threatened
once more when Womack intercept
ed an Artillery pass and ran it back
to Artillery's 1-yard stripe.
Artillery Scores
The third period was another
story, for the Artillerymen came out
with fire in their eyes, crossed up
their opponents with powerful
running attack instead of the passes
which the Postmen were evidently
expecting, ran off three consecutive
firSt-downS in quick succession and
then scored by the pass route within
the first six minutes of the period.
The try-for- point failed. Sou, IA;
Artillery, 6.
Artillery threatened twice in the
fourth period. The first threat came
early in the period when an Sou
punt was blocked on the Posts 18-
yard line The Artillery board of
strategy Immediately sent in almost
a new team, but Sou held for
downs and that threat passed.
Again, in the closing minutes of the
period Artillery opened up on its
OWL o0-ydIQ llIlG Will us Il6IdlOcU
passing attack and moved to SOUS
30-yard stripe through the medium
of two successful heaves, but the
third attempted pass was intercept
ed on SOUS Is and the game end
ed with the ball in the PostmenS
possession.
The SOU backfield, spanked by
Johnson, played brilliantly and the
line was powerful both on offense
and defense as usual. Motley, SOU
tackle, stood out by virtue of break
ing through and blocking Artillery
punts on three separate occasions.
Songs Between Halves
Between halves the Sou cheering
section, which had been very active,
took over, several hundred strong,
and treated the crowd to a demon
stration of mass singing and cheer
ing that was probably more remini-
scent of college scenes than any
thing that has ever occurred at
Huachuca. Two new songs, "Hua-
chuca's Mountain" and "SCU Foot
: ball Song" were sung, together with
THAT Old Huachuca Spirit" and
We're Division 90" in honor of Gen.
Almond, his staff, and the personnel
of the END Infantry Division
