6. Bee, The Hearne (Texas) Democrat. Nov. 8. 1963 B-Team Battles Tigers To 6-6 Tie With four regulars missing from the line-up, the Eagle team featured their defense Thursday night and earned a 6-6 draw with the vi.si.ting Tigers of Consolidated.

Linemen Bonnie Accurso, Marvin Armstrong, Kenny Stone and lets, Kittens Split Twin Bill The Wo.n Side Eaglets and the Consolidated Kittens split their twin bill last Thursday night with the 7th grade tilt going to the Kittens 38-0 and the 8th grade tussle to the Eaglets 24-0. Johnson pacing this Ronnie Shaw lad the Eagle's defensive charges choked off Tiger scoring threats. In the Hearne defensive secondary, slight Douglas Johnson handled larger Tiger runners like he own; ed them. Tiger scoring came in the first quarter on a 54-yaiKt stamper but the Eagles got their six-pointer the hard second half march from mod field. A pass from quarterback Joe Wilson to Ralph Trujillo and a blast by Jerry Elliott kept the scoring drive alive with two successive first downs.

Wilson scooted around left end on a keeper- play for the score but the same maneuver failed by inches to ge the go-ahead points. Virtually the entire regulai backfield missed the action of the Martin. Johnson who ran for three touchdowns, opened the scoring with a 60-yard blast the first play from scrimage. He galloped 64 yards in the third quarter and returned in the final frame to race .97 yards for the Eaglets closing score. Martin's 6-pointer came in the first quarter a 25 yard scamper; the score was set up by a Morehead-Crowley pass.

Pete James Paul Baker was on the ailing list and halfback Bobby Cruse saw only a little action because of a bruised hip. Halfback Jes Salazar watched the game from i the sidelines in order to be eli- gible for Friday night activities. Lineman Danny Danhcim was ill also.

For the third straight week Hearne's Eagles were thwarted in their search for a District 19-AA win with Consolidated furnishing the Friday night frustra- ion at College Station by the score of 15-12. The loss left the Eagles in the company of the equally unsuc- Navasota Rattlers at the bottom of the district heap. Second quarter scoring by Eagle opponents was the differ- nce Friday as it was he previous week in the tilt. Consolidated counted early in the second frame and again just before the half-time break with the Eagles sandwiching a score in between. The Tigers added 2 points to their first tally and kicked the extra point after second to bring the count at halftime to 15-6.

In the third stanza the Eagles drew within striking range of the Tigers, adding another six-pointer. But an aroused cage of Tiger defenders chilled Hearne's fourth quarter bid. Offensive workhorses for the Eagles were fullback Jack White and halfback Jimmy Reader. White blasted for 80 yards on 13 running assignments while Reeder netted CG yards on 18 carries and gathered in 4 passes ior 22 yards. One of White's romps carried 25 yards for the Eagle's second score.

End Steve O'Neal racked up the first Hearne six-pointer taking a 26-yard pass in the end zone from quarterback Bill Jackson. Jackson completed 9 of 19 passing tries to earn a total of 91 yards. O'Neal, handling the punting chores for the Eagles, got a highly respectbale 50-yard average out of three kicks. Both clubs had regulars missing from the line-up. Jim Batson, the Eagle mainspring halfback, is out for the season with a knee injury from the Cameron game.

Tim Batson played at his usual halfback slot tout was slowed noticably by a bad ankle. His number was dialed only twice during the evening. The Tigers were minus the services of 186-pound fullback David Parsons who was out of action with an injury. But the STATISTICS or 15 196 IB 9 91 0 4 for 27 yds.

Reeder skirted right end for a first down and, on the next play, White roared through a hole in the Tiger defenses for a 25-yard scoring jaunt. A pitchout to Seabaugh missed for the two points and the 15-12 score went on the board to remain unchanged. But the Tigers had one more fumble in their system.

This one was recovered by Jack White after the Consolidated crew had taken the kick-off and marched from their 21-yard line to the Eagle 28. With better than 6 minutes left the Eagles glimpsed a silver lining. White carried on 3 successive plays into Tiger territory before Lee Sicilo swipped a Jackson pass on Consolidated's 27-yard line. Tackles by Butch Marline and 'White forced the Tigers to punt and Hearne took over on their own 31-yard line with 4:58 showing on the clock. Jackson responded to the situation with 6 straight pats first going to Reeder and the next one to himself.

This oddity transpired when a Tiger lineman batted Jackson's pass to him. The Eagle quarterback fielded it and raced for down. Aerials to end Cheater Russell and Steve O'Neal got two more first downs carrying to the Tiger 34-yard line with 2 minutes left. But then things got sticky.

They do look forward to opening the corner stone and a metal box it houses. Thomas W. (Chipmonk) Bishop of University Extension Division sent a note to the Democrat exposing contents of the box. "It should have some small coins, a crude cartoon, and a piece of cake," he wrote. The cartoon, it was explained, la a drawing of Duane Mateer a one time athlete of Hearne'High- School.

It commemorates a basketball game between the Junior and Senior classes, which the Juniors won. As for the cake, it was the remains of cake by the junior class for the junior boys that was placed in a heating stove. Mateer stole the cake during recess and it was eaten by RADIO $59.95 Value For speakers lor Button band selector Rich speaker Pull-out 30" antenna Snap off handle Black Leatherette case ONLY fURNITURE MART PHONE 6-2321, LI 6-8851.
