LOBOS KNOCK INDIANS FROM UNDEFEATED RANKS
LONGVIEW - Though the visiting Jacksonville Indians were unable to make a first down through the game on the ground through assistant Coach Joe West's strong Lobo line, they gave the 3,5000 crowd present many anxious moments as they staved off three early game scoring threats, but finally succumbed to superior blocking and running to lose 19 to 0 in Friday night's meeting at Lobo Stadium.

The Redskins also failed to capitalize on their one break early in the second quarter when Farrior, Indian tackle, blocked Young's kick and recovered on the Lobo 10-yard line. But the Lobos were equal to the task before them as they held and took over on downs after giving up only two yards.

The grass, covering the field, was damp with dew and the ball handling was difficult, nine fumbles being made, six by the locals. Aycock's passes were missing their mark, though, he connected for 59 yards with three out of 15 attempts.

At the half time intermission Coach Pete Shotwell instructed his charges to try a little more running and less passing. The boys obliged late in the third period paced by quarterback Abie Aycock, who scored all three Lobo touchdowns, as they traveled 53 yards in eight plays, springing Abie loose on a final 13-yard payoff spring over right tackle.

A few moments later, Bobby Dill made a nice catch of Stephen's attempted quick kick which was partially blocked and flew in the air for only nine yards, taking it on the Redskin 37 and running wide around right end to reach the 10 where Stephens brought him down from behind. Abie then took over and crashed right tackle five five as the third quarter ended. On the next play Aycock again crashed into the hole at right tackle to score once more.

Near the end of the game, Abie in tallying his third marker, gathered in a total of 83 yards, 13 of which were made on the run back of Tony Trujilla's punt to the Lobo 15. Then from the 28, Abie on runs of six, four, 18 and 40, reached the one-yard line. After a teammate lost one, Abie faked running into right tackle, backed up and ran around right end for his third tally. This time with McGaw kicking, the extra point was good, making the final score 19 to 0.

The Lobo line, which played so magnificently in the defeat of Kilgore's Bulldogs last week, pleased assistant Coach West to no end as they held the undefeated Indians to a total of 47 yards, 12 of which were knocked off by throwing the Indians backs for losses, leaving a net gain of 35 yards and with only two first downs. The Redskins' longest gain was for only four yards.

Line backing, of course, played an important part in coming up fast to prevent the speedy Indian backs from breaking in the clear. Young and Attaway did great work in this department, with McGaw filling in as he seemed to be all over the field aiding in the backing up.

Once Longview found that they could gain consistently over right tackle, they really poured on the blocking with Chrietzberg, Young, Poe and McGaw furnishing Aycock plenty of room to do his fancy running. Once more, as in last week's win, though coming late in the game, the Lobos came through when they had to.

The blocking was very effective and the tackling left little to be desired. Fast rushing of the opposing passers by Brown, Gooding, Mullikin and the Callahan brothers tended to force the issue and though the visitors completely seven out of 23 attempts, it is of particular interest that they only made 38 yards in the air. On five of the completions, a total of only seven yards were gained.

An unsung Lobo is Kenneth Hibben, left tackle. Maybe he doesn't get around the field much, but he holds his own and few yards are made over his position. He's improving with each game.

The highly touted Indian star, Charley Burns, wasn't given a chance to break loose. Kirk Stephens, playing left end on defense and fullback on offense proved dangerous with his pass receptions, but the defending Lobos were on him like the proverbial cat, every time he got his hands on the ball.

A great deal of credit must go to the visiting linemen and linebackers for their great play in holding Longview during the first half. Loper, Caton and Meador did great work.

The Lobos were minus the services of co-captain Art Rowland. Coach Shotwell was fearful of his aggravating an injured foot and wisely kept him out of the game. Next week the Lobos will have an open date and will have two weeks in which to prepare for the also idle Tylerites on November 10th. The game, originally scheduled to be played in the afternoon, has been re-scheduled to be played at night in Tyler.
