game, once in the third quarter

Panihers Defeat Lyon High ISL
To Play McCill High Here Tonight

The Paseagoula Painters
tucked the scalp of Lyon High
school of Covington, under their
belts Friday night for their sec
ond straight victory of the season
and prepared to meet what will
probably be their toughest opposi-
ton of the seaso when they face
the McGill High School eleven
of Mobile at the Panther stadium
tonight.
Lyon High, using a "T" forma-
ton, placed a flashy team on the
gridiron in last Fridays game on
the local gridiron, but we're un-
able to cope with the speed and
drive of the Pascagoula team.
Pascagoula's first score came
on the first play after they gained
the ball following the opening
kickoff. Lyon punted on the first
down, and on the following play,
Bobby Gardner tucked the oval
under his arm, slid off end and
with beautiful interference raced
60 yards for the score.
Another spectacular score by
the Panthers came in the fourth
quarter when Louis Webb inter-
eepted a pass tossed by the visi-
tors and raced another go yards
for a score.
Coach Dobie Holden's boys
showed one of the smoothest
working aggregations to play for
Pascagoula in a number of years.
They showed drive, power and
team work in piling up four
touchdowns against Lyon. In the
line, both the offensive and de-
fensive play of Jack Smith at
guard, Pete Avera and Henry
Eantier at ends stood out.
MeGiH showed a powerful team
in downing Murphy High of Mo-
bile l9 to 0 in their opening game
of the season. The Panthers pre-
viously took the measure of Muir
ply to the tune of Z to 0.
Coach Holden has been per
fecting a'defense this week aimed
to stop Burke Strong, McGill full
back, who also proved himself an
elusive and hard to stop runner.
Against Murphy he scored two
of his teams three todchdowns,
one on a so yard u and the
other for 40 yards.
A capacity crowd is expected
for tonight's game as it is ex-
pected to be one of the best to
be played here this season.
