TEN THE CORSICANA, (TEXAS) DAILY SUN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1950. Corsicana Meets Hillsboro In Conference Game Coach Boyd Payne Expects Tough Contest Tonight State Home Lads Invade Hubbard In Top Melee By TALMADGE CANANT Sun Sports Staff The Corsicana Tigers were ready Friday for their game with Hllls- boro's surprising Eagles on Tiger Field at 8 o'clock. The Eagles, surprising because of their sterling performance against the Waco Tigers last week, go into this game the underdog by about 45 points. That, saya Tiger coach Boyd Payne, is "a dangerous" situation for the local crew. "We expect a tough ball game," Payne said Friday morning.

"I hope we can go." No Tiger Injuries There were no serious Injuries In the Corsicana camp through the tapering off exercises Thursday afternoon. Wednesday Corsicana ran through defenses on Hillsboro pass- Ing and running plays from the T-wlng and double-wing formations, and then tapered off with brush- ups on their own offensive. Principal R. A. Armlstcad at the local school said Friday morning that the Tiger Field gates be opened tonight between 6:30 and 7 o'clock.

The earlier opening hour was shunned because "It is too hard on our ticket-talc- ing personnel to have to work In this wind for all those hours." This will give the early-comers an hour or more In which to get In the stadium and get their seats. Hillsboro Coach P. T. Gallga put his veteran Eagles through a light workout in game uniforms Thursday afternoon. Strange as it may deem, Hillsboro rates the edge in experience, but Corsicana the edge In weight in the game tonight.

Dollar Scatback Charles Dollar, a scatback of the A. M. Donoho Son Radiator Shop PHONE 166 221 West 7th Avenue Speedy Sophomore by Pap' first water, is the principal ground- gainer for the Eagles, and the center of the Hillsboro line is plenty rugged. The guards are Co-captains David Hawk and Charles Pollard, the latter a candidate for all- district honors. The tackles are Don Duke and Walton Weatherred, weighing in at 186 and 196 pounds, respectively.

Reserve strength is reported lacking, however. Corsicana's starters will vary, depending on whether or not the Tigers kick or receive. The probable first string of Charles Stack and David Corley at ends: L'avelle Isbell and John Dearen at tackles; Jim Wood and Bob Malcolm at guards; Harvey McNeil at center; Duane Nutt, Kenneth Stegall, Rayburn Matthews and Jim Cravens In the backfield will prevail. A good crowd is expected out for the game, despite temperatures that will be uncomfortable, at the least. Bulldogs to Bryan Navarro Junior College leaves on Saturday morning for Bryan, where it plays Allen Academy in the second conference game of the season.

The game is set for 2:30 Saturday afternoon. Winner over Bllnn by a 34-7 count last week, Navarro is due to have tougher sledding against the Ramblers "I look for a good ball-game," Coach Ken Clark said Friday. "Allen Academy has a good ball club, Don't Be Left Out For Baylor Texas FOOTBALL GAME November llth Get your tickets now while seats are available! Address Ticket Manager, B. U. Station, P.

Box 201, Waco, Texas Reserved Seats Tickets for Rice Game, December 2nd Also Available. and they will be double tough on their home field'" He praised a Rambler backfield named Prld- geon, who carries their offense with his passes and running. Allen Academy will outweigh Navarro slightly in the line. The Bulldogs are in good shape for the contest.

No hampering injuries are on the squad, Clark said Friday. State Home Laddies go to Hubbard tonight for one of their toughest tests on the road to a third consecutive 22-B grid title. Some quarters point to a Lad defeat tonight at the hands of the high scoring Jaguars. The game gets under way at 7:30.

SPORT NOTES PAUL MOORE Dally Sun Sports Editor Many Corsicana fans will see the Southwest conference struggles In Waco and Dallas Saturday. Corsicana and Hillsboro clash In their traditional tilt tonight at Tiger Field. Jack Proctor of the Times-Review, lambasts Cleburne District 13-AA as a district of weaklings and without a real ball club in his column Tuesday Among his ravings were. "Had the Jackets remained in District 13-AA for another season, they no dout-t would have brought home the district bunting with great ease this consistent powers of District 13-AA Waco, Temple and Corsicana, appear to be plenty weak sisters this season You can wager your last farthing that Corsicana beat Waxnhachie by every point it possibly how the Tigers were passing for a score when the final whistle blew at Cleburne last those other year, They scores, too, needed about like they needed holes in the head. The score was 60-odd to 0.

We will say, any team which allows Waxahachie to score first this season, does not belong In the same world with the Cleburne Yellow Jackets, much less the same football stadium Other than Corsicana, all of the District 13 teams have bit the dust this season, but take a gander at the Corsicana schedule. Strictly class or Junior High at best. Yet the Tigers will no doubt win the district championship this year. Then where? To the bl-dis- trlct fields, where they will rtcelve their lumps in large measure." Isn't it bad? He apparently can't get over the shellacking administered last year, but If our memory serves us correctly, Cleburne has scored 60-odd margins this year. He censures Corsicana and declares his coach could not help running up It is done with malice aforethought by And about the weak district poor record of Corsicana, the Ben- gals have scored more points than Corsicana has as good a chance of getting out of the district as has fact, Cleburne will be the underdog when they meet the hard-driving Breckenridge Buckaroos In the Cleburne is good enough, they might meet Cdfslcana in the state finals.

All dopesters. however, are predicting that Cleburne will not get out of the predicted Waco would defeat Corsicana a couple of weeks ago. And It might bo added, Cle- liurno has been In this district a long time, but It has been decades since they won a district bunting when the district was weak or tne Blalr Cherry steps out at Texas coach at the end of the present season despite three more years of his successor has not been indicated, but this department offers the name of Ed Price, a Corsicana product and line coach, as a was a four- letterman here in high school and captained three Southwest conference champion clubs in football, basketball and baseball at Texas U. 49, a former resident of Kerens, is a TCU graduate and turned out fine clubs at Ranger, North Side and Amarillo High Schools before going to Texas OS assistant to D.
