THE ABILENE BEPOTEB-NEWS Tune IB On KRBO PAGE THEM BY 33-3 MARGIN- Cowboys Rock Crusaders HAVE BIG NIGHT JN RANCHERS' ROUGH RIDE By HAL SAYLES Hardin-Simmons' Cowboys mixed up a potion of black magic last night that awakened an offense which has been mostly dormant this season--awakened it with a touchdown wallop that smothered a big, aggressive St. Edward's university football team, 33 to 3. Apparently the signs of Zodiac were right for the Wranglers who, their Friday the 13th outing, had some luck thrown in with their rilliant Six times the Crusaders' aerial darts backfired on them, two of them setting the stage for Cowboy socres; a St. Edward's fumble put the Abilenians in a position for their first tally, and to top it off, the fourth counter resulted directly from a blocked punt.

After St. Edward's first offensive flourish in which Bill Pierce's husky men took the lead briefly on a field goal from the 35-yard line by Nace Formagus, squatty 220- pound guard, the tide turned and stayed with Hardm-Simmons. USES 'EM ALL 9 Coach Frank Kimbrough used every able hand on his varsity in the fracas, the regulars staying in the game only about half the time. It was a big nigh: for the reserves starring roles going to Bob uss, Ed Beeman and H. C.

After the kicked off out of bounds, Leo Ermis, who played a great game at halfback for the Crusaders, rifled a pass to End Jensen, netting 38 yards and a first down on the Cowboy 27. That was as close as the Crusaders could get to the goal line, but Formagus' accurate toe put them in the lead. Uardin-Simmons took advantage of a break a few plays later and converted it into the first touchdown. Ermis was shaken loose from the ball on his own 20, Neal Davis. Cowboy Aid, pouncing: on it.

Beautiful runs by Reynolds and Ermis of 14 and 31 yards respectively brought the ball out to midfield as the quarter ended. KIRK INTERCEPTS ONE On the first play of the second period McKinnon intercepted a pass from the Crusaders' Ermis, bringing it back from the Cowboy 28 to the 44.

Both Jefferson tallies--neither of them a result of a sustained drive --came in the closing minutes of the second quarter. 80 YARDS TO SCORE It was a punting duel that kept the learns in midfield until Jeff's Melchior Gonzales suddenly spun through the middle of a loose- fingered Abilene line for a 32-yard jaunt to the Birds' 22. On the first play, Quarterback Harry Eagg slanted off-tackle for a touchdown.

Just a few minutes later Mustang Halfback Tommy Taylor received one of Parramore Sellers' long kicks on his own 20, and fought his way 80 yards down the field for another tally. George Tassos booted the extra point. Ellers and Passer Gene Dalton were Abilene's whole offensiv show. When there was ball-carrying to be done, Sellers did it--when wasn't on the receiving end of one of Dalton's rifle heaves. Only once did Abilene threaten roiling down to the Jeff five-yard stripe before surrendering bal on downs.

And a Jefferson threa was halted on the Eagle one-yard marker when J. W. Brown got in there fast to recover a backfield fumble. The Abilene school band whooped it up much to the delight of the fans, between halves. Lineups: Abilene--Gentry and Rucker.

On the very first play after the Cowboys kicked off cut of bounds Ermis atttempted a pass but it bounced off a mate's shoulder and Russell came in fast for an interception on the St. Edward's 36.

Russell picked up six over right tackle and then picked his way down the field with a neat bit of sidestepping for 19 yards and a first on the 11. Flahie, on the old bootleg, chugged off 10 yards for a first down just short of the goal line. Russell slipped through right tackle for the score, Russell then passed to Burrus for the extra point to make the score 20-3. Hardin-Simmons could do little with the ball in the third but the Cowboys scored midway in the period when Marcum sifted through to block a punt by Jens and Long John Treadaway lumber' 1 over the goal line to cover the skin for a touchdown. Pee kicked the extra point.

The final touchdown drive was engineered by Beam, a march of 75 yards. Two long passes from Beam to Cowsar and Burrus respectively put the ball on the St. Edward's 35, then Evans dropped back to peg a long one to Burrus. The Big Spring boy took the ball on the dead run as he was crossing the goal line. Treadaway's try for extra point fizzled.
