They trieel . .. ... they couldnt... SOUTHSIDE Defense was the key as the Cyclones demolished Fort Smith Southside in an excellently played ballgame. Coming from a 0-3 halftime score, Russellville pulled themselves together, and Richard Peevey sprinted 20 yards for the Cyclone's first score. Betsill added the final TD on a QB keeper, finishing o'ff the Rebels. FAYETTEVILLE Big plays killed the Cyclones as Fayetteville captured a one touchdown victory over Russellville. Lutz scored first on a short dive, Peevey ran into the endzone for the Cy- clone's second score. Betsill added Russellville's final score on a five yard bootleg in the fourth quarter. This loss left the Cyclones with a 3-8 season record, and a l-4 AAAA West conference record. Though the Cyclones appeared to have had a bad season, many students felt that the new classification and tougher game schedule had a lot to do with the season record. v-.x . : gg, ' zpiih ' ,. .40 av., , 1,1 . , ,W vita A.-,f1.., ,4 , +I Ja ,. .I i ,t 1 sz A, 1 lout they kept trying -+- f u una Us afr- ffl ee S- ' ' -'u,.A..:Qg' v H in N W4 1 Q A V IIS!!!
