| LONGVIEW - The speedy Carter-Riverside Eagles of Fort Worth turned loose a bevy of fast-steeping backs behind the precision blocking of a hard-charging line to knock Longview from the ranks of the undefeated and untied by trouncing the Lobos here Friday night, 31-19.
There wasn't any fluke about the Carter-Riverside victory as the Eagles came from behind in the last half to take complete command of the game and hand Longview a stout, old-fashioned licking. Carter-Riverside, exhibiting a smashing ground attack, rolled up 25 first downs to 24 for the Lobos, netted 321 yards rushing and another 59 through the air while limiting Longview to a total of 197 yards, 142 yards rushing and another 55 by passing. The Eagles were sparked by the fine quarterbacking of David Holmes and bristling running of fullback Larry Terrell and halfback Pete Hill. Holmes personally scored one touchdown and passed for another while Hill and Terrell each scored twice and Hill converted the lone extra point for the winners. Fullback Pete Burks, the leading individual scorer among District 8-AAAA players, halfback Harry Moore and end Rex King chalked up Longview's touchdowns, King's coming on a 16-yard pass from Bolger. Sophomore Bob Abney kicked one extra point for the Lobos.
