Star Fullback
Lost For Year
Locals Pass Attack
Clicks for
Good Yardage
The Terrell Tigers provide
the stiffest competition the^
Mineola Yellow Jackets hai
met in several weeks Friday ]
night, holding the local
scoreless during the first quar-
ter and fighting hard all the
way. The Jackets scored twice
in the second quarter and in
the last half rolled over three-'
and added three extra points to
win 34 to 6.
The game was much more in-
teresting than the score or sta-
tistics indicate. Both teams bat-
tled all the way and overanx-
ious players brought sharp pen-
alties several times. Mineola
lost 80 yards in penalties.
Bobby McCreary, star full",
back and sparkplug of the teem
was lost to the team for the
rest of the season as the result'
of an injury in the first quar-
ter. Following a particularly
hard drive, he hit the ground
hard, and came up holding his
shoulder. He was removed from
the game and examination re- ?
vealed that his left collar bone
was broken. His place will be
hard to fill and his spectacular I
playing will be missed by t>yj
fans.
The Jackets scored the first
two touchdowns on passes*
Shirey passed to Dean from the ]
22 for the first touchdown and
later passed to Erwin from the
28 for the second touchdown.
Dean kicked the extra point
following the first score. Scored
at the half was 13 to 0.
Grant Scores Three
Terrell took the second half
kickoff on their own 20 and af-
ter a series of gains on the
ground, together with two pen-
alties drove to the Mineola 32
where they lost the ball. From
that point the Jackets drove to
the 4 yard line with Grant
scoring from there. Dean added
the extra point.
Following the touchdown Min
eola kicked off. Thomas receiv-
ed the kick on his own 10 and
after his team mates had clear-
ed a path out ran entire team
for a 90 yard dash to the goal,
line.
Grant scored two more touch-
downs in the last quarter, gQijMta
over from the 2 yard line for
both scores. Dean added one
extra point and Shirey one.
The Terrell line outweighed
the Jacket line several pounds
per man but in spite of this
the entire team blocked consis-
tently for the ball carriers. Vic-
ious tackling featured the play
throughout the fray.
The Jackets gained 300 yards
from scrimmage and lost 3; the
Tigers gained 76 and lost 44;
Mineola made 17 first down^
Terrell 7; Mineola completed 6
passes for a total of 83 yards,
had three incomplete, Terrell
completed one out of five at-
tempts for 8 yards, had one in-
tercepted.
Mineola so far this year has
scored 211 points to their op-
ponents 14.
Sister of Mineola
Man Dies Suddenly
Mrs. P. E. Beall of Garland
a sister of J. w. Rothwell of
Mineola, died Tuesday night of
a heart attack. Funeral ser-
vices were conducted Thursday
afternoon. She is survived by
her husband, a son with the
army somewhere in the Pacific*
One daughter, two sisters and
