LONGVIEW SMOTHERS TROUP
LONGVIEW - Flashing mid-season form, the Longview Loboes steam-rolled the highly-touted Troup Tigers 35 to 0, here Friday afternoon in the first conference game of the season.

Perfect interference eluded the pigskin toters of the Loboes when needed and gaping holes were torn in the Tiger defense when line smashes were ordered. Coach Wilkinson's charges demonstrated their form repeatedly that has carried them over the top in three earlier victorious starts this season. Marshall Mavericks, the College of Marshall, and the Centenary Junior Gents have been successfully measured this season in pre-conference tilts.

Playing under sunny skies, the Troupers held the Loboes scoreless during the first quarter. The second quarter got under way with a series of end runs by Ross and Ray put the ball on the three line and Ross smashed through center for three yards and the first touchdown. Two more touchdowns were added in the period. Ray aded an extra for each touchdown and the score stood 21 to 0 in favor of Longview at the end of the half.

Rallying during the rest period, the Tigers came back and held the Loboes scoreless during the third quarter. The last quarter was marked with the resumption of Lobo scoring. A series of line plunges featured by a 5-yard center plunge by Ross and a five-yard gain by Ray on an off-tackle play put the ball on the 11-yard line. Williams took the ball on the next play and carried it around the end for 11 yards and a touchdown. Ray added the point after. Score, Longview 28, Troup 0.

Longview rushes across another count snappily after TRoup received the kickoff on their 14-yard line. Troup failed to put the ball out of danger on a bad punt and Ray of Longview recovered the ball and was downed on the nine-yard line. McCreary skirted the end for nine yards and counted the final touchdown. Ray kicked his fifth field goal following the touchdown on the following play. The score stood 35 to 0. The game ended with the ball in Longview's possession on their 20-yard line.
