COOK AND STREET LEAD LOBOS TO SECOND VICTORY
LONGVIEW - You know how it is in a dream, when you're running after a bus and when you're just about to catch it your feet are lead weights and you can't lift them.

The amazing rebuilding gridiron of WoodrowWilson's Wildcat from "Big D" experienced that same sensation while in East Texas.

Two paragraphs were illegible

The final score, for the record, was 12 to 7. But never after the third quarter moments of fateful were the 'Cats allowed a whiff of that rare perfume produced by a Friday night grid game.

The Longview defense was merely great, and number of Woodrow Wilson's backs will attest to that.

Quarterback James Street, 150-pound junior, brought his team back from a 7 to 6 halftime score to post a 12 to 7 win over the grinders from Dallas.

The Longview team bottled up the Wildcat offense and unleashed a juggernaught of their own named quarterback Street, fullback Mike Crawford, wingback Harold Bridges, tailback Ronald Cook and fullback Glenn Cobb.

Longview won the hard way over Woodrow Wilson, grinding every grudging, stubborn, uphill foot to outlast the 'Cats. Those first 24 minutes Friday night in Lobo Stadium, the Longview team couldn't get their touchdown machine started. However in the third and fourth quarters the Lobos put on a show that left the Lobo fans with smiles on their faces and a sad shock on the faces of Woodrow Wilson's fans. The Wildcats, for a while, were reading the headlines in the Dallas papers where they had won their first game of the season. However, the printed didn't set the 8-48 head.

Quarterback James Street almost single-handily wrecked Woodrow Wilson with his excellent runs around the ends and up the middle. Street had plenty of help from his top-notch linemen.

Fumbles and more fumbles nearly cost the Lobos a victory in the first 24 minutes of play. But a south wind came through Lobo Stadium to dry the green turf and turned defeat into a giant-size victory.

The win for the Longview eleven was the second of the early season and the loss was the second for Wilson. For the record, Longview has now won as many games as the 1963 team recorded.

Tailback Ronald Cook (was slated to play split end, but was moved to the tailback position to replace Don Stout in the lineup due to a death in the family), 170-pound senior, whipped through, around and over the hapless Wildcats to score the winning touchdown of the night in the fourth chapter with 10:32 left on the clock.

The victory touchdown gave the Longview fans a brighter picture of the 1964 Lobos. Don't count the Lobos out until the 48 minutes are up.

The drive for the touchdown started on the 36 yard line of Longview after Ronald Cook had fielded a punt from the foot of Dallas' Wayne Ray.

Fullback Glenn Cobb got the ball rolling from the 36 to the 39 on the first play. Then tailback Cook moved the ball to the Woodrow Wilson 32 yard line as he sprinted to the right knocking several Wildcat linemen down the march.

The next play saw quarterback Street take the pigskin from center Pat Bain...he stepped back three and threw the pigskin into the arms of Cook for a 10 yarder. Then Cook shifted gears like a trailer-truck and moved the ball across the goal line with speed and power. The run was good for 22 yards. The try fo the two pointer failed as Street was snowed by a host of Wildcats.

The Lobos crucified themselves with mistakes, while Coach Ty Bain paced the sidelines in utter misery the first half. They fumbled and just couldn't get the offense moving.

Woodrow Wilson's only touchdown of the night came with 48 seconds left on the Texas size clock in the north end zone of the first quarter. End Paul Goodrich on a pitch-out from quarterback Leon Smith printed around the right and cut up the middle for a 45-yard march. However, Goodrich thought he was going for the touchdown - but defensive halfback Ed Harbour had other plans for the Big "D" lad. He grounded the runner on the one yard line.

The Lobo defense just couldn't stop quarterback Smith from going over the middle for the touchdown from the one-yard one stripe. Wayne Dry booted the extra point and the ball sailed through the middle of the uprights.

Quarterback Street gave the Wildcat something they can talk about for a lone time to come. He sprinted 43 yards for the Lobos' first touchdown of the evening with 5:59 to go in the second quarter. Street, on a keeper, twisted and did a little dance for the Wildcats in the middle of the turf and Jay James made a dive at the talented runner near the five but just couldn't stop Street.

Longview started the drive on their own 49. A five-yard offside penalty aided the Lobos as the Wildcats were too eager to get across the line. On the next play Street was hit hard by Keith Cupples and fell on the 37. Then Street whipped around his right side to the 49. The Lobos only needed one yard for a first down. Cook was given the pigskin and he carried for a half. Cook wasn't to be outdone, so he moved the ball this time to the 49 of Woodrow Wilson.

Fullback Crawford plowed through the defense to the 46. Then the acton started as Street went wide to the right to the 43. On the next history-making play the field general sprinted for the touchdown without a Wildcat scratch.

The extra point failed as Street fumbled the pigskin.

In the punting department the all-around athlete, Cook, led with 296 yards on seven kicks for an average of 42.2.

Cook was also the leading ground gainer for the Lobos with 90 yards on 15 tries. Street was runner up with 49 yards and Crawford compiled 30 yards.

Defensive standouts for the Lobos were Mike Maberry, Jimmy Molpus, Edward Harbour, Dickie McDaniel, Rusty Musser and Tommy Allbright.

The Lobos traveled to Carthage next Friday night to battle the Bulldogs in a non-league game. Tickets to the game are on sale at the Longview school. Game time is set for 8 p.m.
