By ARNOLD HEDERMAN The Central High Tigers struck fast in the initial quarter at Tiger Stadium last night, to get a lead which was never threatened as they defeated the visiting McComb eleven by the score of 42 to 6. With only 15 seconds left to play and the ball resting on the Mc Comb 15 yard line, folks began to leave. However, Jerry Wilkinson faded back and tossed a short one to co-Captain Wesley Jackson on his own 30. The crowd stopped to take a last look at a McComb player being tackled. However, Jackson had other ideas and before he finished running he had crossed the Central High goal line.

That was the most exciting play or tne game, as lar as the visitors were concerned, but it also rated as one of the neatest of the night tor Dotn sides. The Jackson power showed up fast as they accounted for 21 points in the first quarter and then scored in every other period for the win. Mike Stanley, Johnny McKeithen. Jack Barksdale, and John Gainey were the top mail carriers fcr the Central High team, while Wil kinson, Jackson and Richard Van Norman were the boys of the hour lor the visitors. Central High played a good game an the way and the boys were able to stop just about everything Mcuomo couia inrow at them.

Wilkinson, not only passed and ran his team well, but he had a wonderful night in punting. His Doots Kept tne Tigers from scoring more. Top defensive players for Cer- tral were: John Mallard. David Megginson, Jim Huff, Barksdale. Mark Yerger.

John Echols. On the visitors side the top defenders were Wilkinson, Bobby McGehee, Pete Koangue and Bruce Clark. The statistics showed the fol lowing: First downs: Jackson 14. Mc Comb 5. First downs rushing: Jackson 12.

Punts: Jackson 3, McComb 8. Average yards per punt: Jackson 35, McComb 40. Punts returned: Jackson two with 20 yards, McComb two with 10 yards each. Fumbles: Jackson 1, McComb 3. The Tiger Touchdown Train traveled the course with lightning speed to register the initial six-pointer of the night in a little less than three minutes.

It all started with 'a 26-yard kick off return to the Tiger 38 by Mike Stanley. John Gainey, with speed to spare, rammed the left side of his line and traveled to the Jackson 49. Stanley pushed the ball into enemy territority with a quicky through center to the 48. Gainey, with legs churning, tip-toed to the 40 yard line. From there Mr.

Stan ley took the pigskin into glory land and six points. Gainey, swinging that left foot, split the uprights and the local Bengals had a seven point lead by 7-0. With a little less than two minutes to go, the local eleven pasted another six-pointer on the scoreboard. Johnny McKeithen started the next trip into enemy territority by intercepting a stray McComb aerial on the McComb 47 and returned it to the 29. Power, on two trips, went to the 23 yard line.

Cleveland BrOWnS Should Have Creditable Year CLEVELAND, Sept. 19 W) Coach Paul Brown today forecast that his Cleveland Browns should have a "respectable season "but our outlook is not rosy." Actually, he said of his ex-champion pro football team, "out club has not crystallized. Injuries have held us back and caused considerable concern. I'm not sure just what we can do." Brown made these statements In an article he wrote for the Cleveland News. His team, with plenty of new faces, still must be trimmed by three players.

Today, he trimmed ex-Ohio State star Tony Campanella from the squad. This completed a deal Brown made earlier with the Tex-ans, which previously sent Don Kosterman, a quarterback, to Dal- Next year, in return, the exans will permit the Browns a nigh draft pick. The Browns already have two exhibition games to the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 4ders. lneir regular season opens here Sunday, Sept. 28.

With regard to those exhibition games, Brown said: "Occasionally. I hear or read that there is nothing at stake in the games. Well, If a man's Job isn't important, if his family's security isn't important, then maybe there isn't anything at stake. Of course, such a view is ridiculous. "The Jobs are important and the vicious play in these games is the best evidence of how important it is to these men to win a place on the squad.

Clinton's lighter line outcharged and outscrapped the Warriors throughout the game. Belzoni's only touchdown hope was stifled in the third quarter, when Joe Roberts' pass intended for Don Barkley was intercepted on the Clinton goal line.

Cliff Rushing and Jimmy Hammond, a pair of hard running halfbacks, helped rack up the Clinton vardage. Billy Joe Abel and Don Barkley were defensive standouts for Belzoni. Clinton meets the Ma gee High Trojans at Magee next Friday. This Is the Arrows third win against no losses. Taylorsville Drops To Poplarville TAYLORSVILLE, Sept.

19 Tay lorsville Tartars went down in defeat to a powerfut Poplarville elev en by a score of 40-20 Friday night, but only after a rugged resistance. Poplarville scored in the first quarter after a series of short gaining plays, which penetrated a determined defense. Taylorsville fought back and scored shortly on a pass from Ashley to Evans. Poplarville made two first downs and then lost the ball on downs with Taylorsville taking over on their 45. The Tartars moved down the field on short passes and line plays, which culminated with Robinson on the receiving end of a pass for the touchdown.

In the final minutes of the first half, Poplarville tied the score at 13-13, with Singerfield carrying from the 12. Both teams gained consistaniy during the third quarter, with Tay lorsville scoring one touchdown and Poplarville two, which brought the score to 26-20. During the fourth quarter, Taylorsville was unable to cope with the powerful running attack of Poplarville and allowed two more runners to cross their goal, the final score reading 40-20. On No. 12 Snead missed an eight footer, and cried, "there's no way" I can make one.

No way." He was wrong, though. On the 16th and 17th he holed out 20 footers, and then dropped one from 30 feet on the last hole. Byron Nelson, making a comeback after having been in retirement since 1946. was the only other player still under par. His 71 72 left him at 143.
