Lobos Roll Past Broncos, 41-0 Gridders Look Toward Tilt With Graham's Steers Friday By DARNELL PEACOCK Record-Chronicle Sports Writer Coach Walter Parker's Denton High Broncos returned from Longview with one thought in mind- Improvement. All the inexperienced but spirited Broncs probably realized their shortconunings Friday night as Coach Marco Stewart's powerful I-ongview Lobos rumbled through their forces, 43-0. An estimated 6,000 fans were on hand as the loaded season-opener was unreeled in crisp fail weather. Veteran End Bobby Joe Olman expressed the general overall feelings of the Broncs as they were boarding the bus for the return trip. He said, "That game is over now, nntl I'm ready to really get prepared Jor Graham next Friday." Sonny Jones sparked the Pack KKNNKTH OWENS to their initial victory touchdowns, kicking points and doing an excellent part the Wolves 1 field BPner.il.

Lobos Score Early The Lobos began their heavy scoring parade from the very first. They returned Oilman's opening Longview goal. However, a Bronco fumble and a blocked pass behind the scrimmage line found the Lobos back In possession on their 33. After the Interception, Owens carried fur over center and then around left end to mldfield for a first down. He then picked up four yards over right guard, and Dan Boren brought it vo th? enemy 44, where he was shoved out of bounds.

Quarterback Bil! Walker went through the middle of the Longview line lo the 9 and another first down. He was followed by! Boren through the same route to the 37.

Although the ball handling was none too sharp In the first few days' workouts, the passing has more than made up for It.

From here a steady march licad- into it and ivc are coming around fast." Mitchell said the Eagles will continue their two-a-day drills through Thursday. The North Texans will board chartered Brnniff airliner at Love Field, Dallas at 8 Friday morning for Lexington. Quarterbacks Zeke Martin and Richard Harvey directed the Eagles in recent nisht both moving their teams down- field wiih good results.

In fact. Harvey's No. 2 unit was clicking as well as Martin's first stringers. Both field-generals worked in a large number or neu' plays, indicating the Eagles' offense is rapid- by Jones' phenomenal i 'v al 'iug ii sharp edge. At times and aerial attack brought the Lobos to the Bronco 12, where the uncanny quarterback went for a sneak over cen- tcuchdown on ler.

SECOND PERIOD--The scorn came in the manner as the i Longfiew took a punt on the Denton 32.and four ground plays Jones' i put (lie Lobas on the 2-yard stripe. Jones again went over on a quarlerback sneak. A 15-yard pass Jones to Ken Veach. accounted for the third. Harvey's chcit-e of plays and quick thinking in tijht spots particularly outstanding.

With the Kentucky tilt only a week away now, the Eagles' offensive lineup is becoming more definite. It seems pretty certain that Loyd Charley tid Kenneth Bahnsen will be across the head of the in Ze-ke's No. 1 backficld. In night workouts, big Wendell the pass snagging artist from Houston, and Letterman Jack Tlie rugged BCIIK and Harvey, who came here last spring from San Angelo JC, were next In line. Mitchell couldn't help but comment on what great players they should be by (he time the J852 reason rolls around.

Several members of the defensive platoon have been outstanding during the past week's drills. Jimmy silencer, an end from Cisco and Charley Quails, and Halfback Bil! Rogers, first-year man from Abilene, all look i defensive regulars during the coming season. Bill Hammond, the former Denton High -star, also came in fcr a word of praise. "He may be one of our best defensive backs before long," remarked Coach Mitchell. "He is young but has shown plenty of ability during the past week.

We're keeping an eye on him." Assistant Coach De Walker, who handles the Eagle linemen, has been impressed by the play of Bishop, the 13-year-old, 244-pound- proved player on the sqund, accord; to Walker. Bishop ant! Ilay Dodds, transfer from San Angclo JC, have been raging a nip-and- tuck battle for that offensive right tackle berth since the beginning of spring training. As looks now the big youngster Borgcr may get tlie nod. Oddly enough, the Eagles second string backfield may have more letttrinen than the No. 1 unit.

Fullback Duffey is a soph who was on the squad last season but was held out of competition. This is actually his first season, Bahnsen is a transfer from Tyler JC, leaving Martin and Lowe as the only lettermen. The second unit will have iors Ray Bcnfro, Hoyce Womble, and Soph Randal McGee across the T-head. It could be nil all- lettered backfield, depending on whether Junior Bill Brashier or Harvey is qunrterbacktng. At present the No.

Matthews, starting from I the Bronc 47, also headed the nex' drive to pay dirt. He carried on three ground foy and threw one 1 fi-5'arc! pass to bring the Lobos down to the Bronco 8, where he lunged through center for a fifth Lonsvievv touchdown. FOURTH PERIOD--The returned Wayne Lowrie's the right guard spot. Letterman Glen Wood wii.s working on the opposite side. Big Quincy Armstrong will keep the center post.

Mitchell was full of praise for his young Eagles.

WIULIAMSOH. who every year gazes into his cry ball and fearlessly picks football champions all over the Odn Bairl li as bc expected, he has coach Odus Mitchell's flying North Texas State College Eagles caught -u a dowodrafl just below the University of Houston's Cougars. Although Williamson hns maintoincd an average 85 per cent con-uet for (he past several years, he could be wrong. However look at the Cougar's prospects this year might explain his rating. Ill Halfbacks Gene Shannon and Max Clark, the Cougars have a pair of tlia top ball caniers In tlie Southwest.

In fact, the University of Houston Mows Bureau tells us they are ths two most cr.piible bail carriers in the South. Shannon last year went 88 limes to net 480 yards, and Clark managed 461 in SO tries. Then, there's gangling Leo Van Haverbckc Cougar linebacker and junior whom UH thought should have been before NT's Jim Eagle on Little All-American teams last. year. He Is one of UK's most consistent and dangerous defensive men.

And if talent is needed up in the forward wall. Williamson's 215-poniK! middle All-American Bill MoeDcr will be giving his best fit tackle in his (innl year with the Cougars. These with a host of other standouts from the '49 squad will (earn with a Sevr heralded newcomers to make up the team figured to cop the Gulf Coast Conference crmvii this fall. HOWEVER, most people In North Texas arc looking to coach Mitchell's Eagles as the team to beat. Even Mitchell, who usually takes a outlook, indicates that he's fairly pleased with the Eagle's progress so far (his season.

The Flock i.s returning i 22 lettermen, more than 20 junior college mainstays, and some 40 freshmen. Among tlicse is heralded Zeke Martin, 1949 all-Gulf Coast Conference selection and a three- year veteran. And to lend a ground attack to Martin's exciting nerial nnd punting talents, two North Texas trad: and football stars for the past two yenrs will be nround again, much to the clireomfort of Kagle iocs. They are Loyd Loire Ray Renfro, members of the NT championship sprint relay team last spring. With these top performers, 17 other lettermen, and the Junior College stars, the Eagles could have the best team ever.

Like Houston, the Eagles have one of their toughest schedules 311 the history of the school, and iike Houston, the Eagles' prospects this year are far dim. Whether or rot the Cougars are the club to cop the 1950 GGC title remains to be seen. IT SEEMS THAT the fall football spirit is rubbing off on everyone, and the Denton Junior chamber of Commerce Is no exception. They are up lo their old tricks again that of looking out for Denton grid stars of I9GO. F.
