| LONGVIEW - Dreams of 1937, when the Lobos annexed the state crown, were revived Friday night as the Longview High riders trimmed the Port Arthur Yellow Jackets, 20 to 13, before a crowd of 5,000.
It was their third straight win, having previously trounced Beaumont High and North Side of Fort Worth. Captain Don Fambrough, 185-pound halfback, made all of the Longview scores, one in the first, one in the third and another in the fourth. He kicked for extra points in the third and fourth quarters. His seconds touchdown came after two minutes of play in the third period when he ran through the entire Port Arthur team for 41 yards. A fifty-four-yard drive in the opening stanza gave the Pack their first score. In the second period, the visitors evened the count when Alvarez, fleet quarterback, intercepted a pass and scooted 64 yards. They came back in the third after Fambrough's 41 yards touchdown run and scored on three passes by Pierce that netted 40 yards. A fifteen-yard penalty against Longview for roughness, Hall went over and Newman kicked goal. Fullback Hall's fumble in the fourth paved the way for Longview's winning touchdown. Scott made a 25-yard run, Port Arthur was penalized fifteen for roughing and Fambrough went over in two plays and converted. With three wins over creditable opposition safely on the shelf, the Lobos turn to more serious business of playing for keeps when they tackle the Athens Hornets in the first conference game of the season here next Friday. The Lobos emerged the well earned lacing of Port Arthur Friday night with no injures, except for that young T.A. Scott, running in the tailback slot, has been a mass of bruises for two weeks. The doughty youngster, however, is not in danger of being kept out of play but he has taken some pretty rough beatings in the games to date. He may be given more rest than work in this week's game. Fambrough's performance was magnificent but he did not do it alone. He got some beautiful blocking that helped him on several of his jaunts and the great defensive play of the Lobo line and of Jimmy Goodson in helping as a line-backer was truly matchless. The boys defensively played their best game although it was the first time they had been scored on. |
