BEAUMONT, NOVEMBER 9. 1963
It was a proud French team that went down in the mud this night. After shellacking Beaumont 30-0 the previous
week, the Buffaloes were geared to the limit to stop the favored Jackets. However, a continuous deluge dumped 31/2
inches of rain on the turf of Purple Stadium and the Yellow Jackets found the mud to their liking as they powered
their way over the ambitious Buffs. Borrowing a chapter from Port Arthur "mud dogs" of the past, the Jackets domi-
nated the game with their power sweeps and ferocious defensive play. This victory cinched at least a tie for the dis-
trict championship for the Jackets.
The deft running of tailback Walter Sorgee highlighted the otherwise brutal defensive struggle. Sorgee scored twice
from ten yards out and returned a punt 80 yards only to have it wiped out by an official's red flag. Charles Wilson
scored the other Jacket tally and booted two extra points.SKIP SUDDUTH
