Abilene High School - Flashlight Yearbook (Abilene, TX)

SEASON REVIEW Exlgu MS ltltllll all The Black and Gold Forever will hold sway. Sellers tucks it away ABILENE l3ieLAMESA 14 ln the sixth game of the year, the Eagles went to Larnesa, expecting a much harder game than they were given. lt proved to be the closest game of the year, with Abilene losing by only one point. When first downs are considered, one wonders how Lamesa ever reached pay dirt twice, for the War- birds made thirteen first downs to their opponents' eight. Narrell scored in the first quarter, climaxing a long drive. The point after touchdown was missed, this proving to be the downfall of the team. lt was the fourth quarter before the Black and Gold machine began to roll again. Sellers went over and kicked goal, but was one point short of a tie. Although Dalton did not figure in either of the tallies, his running stood out. ABILENE U-ARLINGTON HEIGHTS 6 Abilene lost their seventh game of the year to Arlington Heights of Fort Worth. Being scored on in the initial period seemed little handicap, for the Eagles frequently penetrated the Yellow lackets' 20-yard stripe, only to lose the ball on downs or by a fumble. Seemingly outplaying their opponents, as in the week before, the Warbirds rolled up twice as many first downs and more than two hundred yards from scrimmage to the Arlington Heights' scant fifty-two yards. All Eagle-backers' hopes were lost when Sellers went to the lacket 3-yard line and then fumbled, the ball being covered by Arlington Heights in the end zone for a touchback.
