Game Played at
Wildcat Stadium
Canadian's Junior high PeeWees blasted the Clarendon Junior
Bronchos 34 to 14 before a crowd of several hundred tans at Wild-
oat Stadium last Thursday night.
Led by bard-running quarterback Danny Urschel and fleet half-
back Mickey Spoon, the Canadian Kittens ripped through and
around the Broncho line almost at will throughout most of the
game.
The Kittens amassed a total of
291 yards on the ground while
throwing up an airtight defense
that held the Junior Bronchos to
a net loss of 9 yards rushing.
The Kittens completed two pass-
es for 38 yards, the Bronchos
completed one for 30.
After a scoreless first quarter
in which the Kittens fumbled
away a touchdown drive on the
Clarendon 2-yard line, the Cana-
dian PeeWees, struck twice for
touchdowns in the second period
and owned a 13 0 lead at the
half.
The first Kitten touchdown
came early in the second period
after Danny Urschel had taken
a Clarendon kick on his own 40
yard line and returned to the
Clarendon 37. David Young raced
20 yards around right end to the
17, and added 8 more over left
guard to move the Kittens to the
Clarendon 9. Mickey Spoon then
took a hand-off from Urschel
and circled left end for 9 yards
and the touchdown. Urschel went
around left end for the extra
point to put the Kittens out in
front 7 to 0.
Forced to kick out on the next
series of downs, the Bronchos
booted the ball high to the Clar-
endon 45 yard line, and on their
first play from scrimmage, the
Kittens deserted their T-forma-

tion to drop back in deep punt
and pulled off a razzle-dazzle
double-reverse which finally sent
Sparky Eckles rambling around
left end behind a perfect screen
of blockers on a 45-yard scam-
per to pay-dirt. Eckles crossed
the goal line standing up.
Young's try for extra point was
no good and the Kittens led 13-0
at the half time.
The Kittens struck again mid-
way in the third period, this time
going through the air with Dan-
ny Urschel doing the pitching
and David Young on the receiv-
ing end.
After taking a Clarendon kick
on the Broncho 46 yard line, the
Kittens rolled swiftly. Urschel
passed 16 yards to Young for a
first down on the 30, added 8
yards on a sweep at right end,
then dropped back to pass again
to Young who made a sensation-
al leaping catch on the goal line
for the touchdown. Mickey Spoon
circled left end for the extra
point, and the Kittens led 20 to 0.
The Kittens boosted their lead
to 27 as the fourth period open-
ed, when Danny Urschel ripped
30 yards off left tackle for a
touchdown, and Sparky Eckles
added the extra point.
Coach Mose Damron sent a
swarm of substitutes on the field
at that point, giving his sixth-
graders a work-out for most of
the final quarter, and the Bron-
chos struck for their first touch-
down midway in the period
when Bradshaw made a fourth-
down dash around left end for
17 yards and a score. Bradshaw
crashed over center for the extra
point.
The young Bronchos struck
again with less than a minute
of playing time remaining, when
Bradshaw passed to Mann for 30
yards and a touchdown. Dewey
made the extra point, to run the
score to 27-14.
With only 30 seconds remain-
ing on the scoreboard clock,
Coach Damron sent his first-
stringers hustling back into the
ball game to receive the kick-
off. Mickey Spoon took the kick
on his own 20 yard line, angled
for the sidelines while a wave of
blockers formed in front of him,
and raced 80 yards up the east
sideline to score standing up.
The clock ran out as Spoon
raced up the field, and Danny
Urschel's right-end sweep for the
extra point was scored after the
game had ended.

Stinnett's Rattlers, the only re-
maining undefeated team in Dis-
trict 1-A, are on top of the heap
in the season's standings to date
after walloping the Clarendon
Bronchos 46 to 0 in a Homecom-
ing game at Stinnett Saturday
night.
The Bronchos, who had con-
quered top-rated Lefors a week
earlier, fell easy victims to the
Rattlers' lightning attack and
chalked up their first loss of the
season. Stinnett has been tied
once (by Hollis, Oklahoma, in
the season's opener) but now
holds victories over Friona, White
Deer and Clarendon.
The Rattlers now share the con-
ference lead, however, with the
surprising Panhandle Panthers,
who have come to life after drop-
ping a pair of non-conference
games to Class AA opponents
and have racked up two confer-
ence victories over McLean and
White Deer.
Wellington's Skyrockets, who
opened their conference season
Friday night by walloping the
Memphis Cyclones 20 to 0 at
Memphis, are also tied for the
conference lead.
A lightning" - fast Skyrocket
eleven, led by substitute quarter-
back Pat Wilkins and Ted Stans-
bury and Warner Ford cut the
Memphis Cyclones to ribbons Fri-
day night at Cyclone Stadium in
Memphis. Wilkins passed to Jer-
ry Elbert to set up the initial
touchdown, and tossed a 21-yard
aerial to Stansbury for the score,
then converted for the extra
point to put his team out in
front 7 to 0 at the half. The
Rockets struck twice more in the
final period, once on a 30-yard

bury.
The Lefors Pirates, humiliated a
week earlier by Clarendon, scor-
ed with two touchdowns and a
safety in the first half to run up
fourteen points against the Mc-
Lean Tigers at McLean Friday
night, then hung on desperately
for the rest of the game after
giving up 7 points in the third
quarter on a 32-yard pass from
Crockett to Cooper and a conver-
sion booted by Woods.
The loss was McLean's second
in conference play, and will
probably eliminate the 1954 dis-
trict champions from title con-
tention this season.
Panhandle's Panthers, having
broken a long losing streak by
downing McLean in the confer-
ence opener a week earlier, roar-
ed to a 31-0- victory over the
White Deer Bucks at Panhandle
Friday night to keep the Panther
title hopes very much alive and
put the Bucks out of the running
with their second defeat.
After a scoreless first period,
the Panthers had everything go-
ing their way with Larry Hirons
and Jones Hedrick handling the
scoring. Hedrick hit pay dirt
three times, once on an 89-yard
kick-off return, once on a 1-yard
plunges, and once on a 52-yard
broken field dash. Monty Bell
tossed a 50-yard pass to Hirons
