LIONS ROMP TO 26 TO 0 VICTORY OVER LOBOS
TYLER - The once-powerful Longview Lobos showed the strains of training trouble Friday night as they failed to hold the Tyler Lions in a District 9-AA battle at Rose Stadium. The Lions moved through the game completely under control to win their second victory in district play.

End-around plays featuring Mike Trant and Murray Thompson racked up heated gains in the first two periods and Trant showed some power as a ball lugger.

The Lion forward wall held the Lobo running game in check. However, little Jery Matthews passed for several gains against the Lions secondary.

Up front for the Lions it was the work of Billy Hughes, Jack Caruthers, Ernest Elliott, Mike Trant, Bobby Boyd, Carry Wofford, Albert Hill and Murray Thompson that kept the Lions in front of the scoring.

Longview depended on fine defensive play by Wayne Dodson, Bobby Blakely, Charles Griffin, Jud McRee, George Raney and John Huff to keep their victory hopes alive.

Tyler's ground game chalked up 255 yards with Trant, Murphy, Thompson, Bobby Brown and Eddie Hennig paving the way.

Matthews tried a total of 40 passes in the game and connected on 13 of them to make 107 yards.

The Lobo rushing game accounted for just 39 yards.

Tyler kicked off to Longview and the Lobos gained 6 before they were forced to kick. Tyler failed to dent the Lobo defense and punted to the Longview 46. The Lobos failed to gain and Tyler took possession on their own 32.

Mike Trant picked up 12 on an end around play and then ran the same play for 20 to carry to the Longview 36. Eddie Hennig then cut over right tackle and went all the way behind good blocking. Kounce's attempted conversion hit the goal post and fell wide.

William Helms pulled in a Jerry Matthews pass minutes later on the 50 and carried to the Tyler 46. Hennig picked up 15 to the 35 after Trant and Gilley had gains on runs. Hennig then passed to John Gilley in the end zone for the touchdown. Kounce added the PAT.

The third Tyler touchdown came on the first play of the second period. The Lions had taken over on their own 45 and moved to the one foot mark before the end of the initial period. Murray Thompson picked up 17, Trant gained 9, Bobby Brown picked up seven that carried to the eight and a penalty placed the ball on the three. From there Brown cracked over and Kounce failed to add the gratus point.

The Lobos moved to the Tyler one-foot line just as the gun sounded signifying the half-time. They took over on the Tyler 26 and an interference penalty gave them the ball on the four. Matthews punched to the one without going over.

Tyler scored again in the third period. They took over on the Longview 35 on a punt return. Boyd Murphy picked up 13 yards on three plays and then William Helms got 10 to the 16. Murphy romped across from that point and Hennig made the conversion attempt on the second trial when Longview as off sides.
