Dinkle, sidelined throughout the contest when the Mavericks were on the defensive, came into the game at frequent intervals to pace the Marshall attack. In the second quarter the fast-stepping ball-carrier got loose on a 61-yard jaunt to the Tyler 12 from where his backfield mates collaborated on a series of plays that gave the Mavericks their final score of the day and a 29 to 0 lead.

It also was Dinkle's final touchdown of a brilliant schoolboy grid career.

Dinkle romped to a 61-yard gain, several other gains, to score three of the Mavericks' 4 touchdowns, and helped set up the remaining marker.

Neither team was able to dent the other's goal after the first half, leaving the Golden Briffins on the Maverick 27. Dinkle skirted left end, out. but it racked up a 26-6 win over John Tarleton.

The Apaches have played nine games this season, being defeated in a non-conference opener against Little Rock, Junior College, 14-7, and Kilgore in a conference tilt, 13-6. The Apaches have defeated John Tarleton, 19-7, NTAC, 7-0; San Angelo, 26-13; Panola, 28-7; Paris, 13-7; McNeese, (non-conference) 10-7, and Schreiner, 41-7. Considerable interest began to center on the Apache game with Lamar following Kilgore's loss Saturday to the Paris Dragons. The Rangers, bowl-bound before the Paris debacle, will find themselves in a tie for the conference championship should the Apaches win Friday night. An Apache victory is certain to provoke further talk about a possible post-season game between the Rangers and the Tyler eleven.

Should that proposal fail, there is still the question as to which team might represent the conference in the second annual Texas Rose Bowl. distancing most of the Tyler sec Billy Conn Kayoes Jackie Lyons In Ninth ondary to move to the Tyler 12 where Waskom brought him down to carry a record of seven wins, one tie and one loss into its Dec. 5 bowl game at Cleveland acainst TYLER MARSHALL Pint Downs 4 12 Net Tdi.
