Yr .-5' .f DORTON BEGINS ONE OF HIS IAUNTS SEASON REVIEW OE FOOTBALL By Billy Pennington The Abilene Eagles opened the l937 football season against Snyder, a strong Class B team The Eagle wall proved too strong for the Snyder line, and led by Hughes and Beam, the Eagle baclcfield swept around ends and over tackles for ground-gaining plays. When the Eagles com- pleted ten out of fifteen attempts for a net gain of one-hundred and sixty-five yards to win the initial game 54-O, Coach Mayhew was at last credited with having an aerial attack. On October l, the Abilene High Eagles in their first conference game overpowered the scrappy Ranger Bulldogs 62-12. There was nothing spectacular in the way the Eagles piled up the one- sided score, After playing beautiful offensive football most of the afternoon, the Eagles deliber- ately turned off the steam after their ninth touchdown. From then on, the Eagles were instructed to kick on the first down, Neither of Rangers two touchdowns resulted from luclcg both came as a result of beautiful passes, making the final score, Abilene 62, Ranger l'Z.

THE EAGLES AND BUCKIES WAR On October 8, a rabid crowd of Abilene fans watched the Eagles, paced by their brilliant little field general, lames Beam, and B. H, Hughes, stellar lialfbaclc, romp over a scrapping Eastland eleven by a score oi 21-Ei. The Bulldogs put up an unexpected battle and the Eagles had plenty of trouble in getting started, but at last teamwork overpowered Eastland ior a decisive victory. ln a windswept game on October 15, Abilene High School pulled the cover oft its offensive Class, sadly lacking in earlier showings, to boot Brownwood out of the quadruple tie for Oil Belt leadership by the large decision of 49-12. Twinl-:letoes lames Beam flitted to two firstfhalfytouch- downs, and in the third quarter the Eagles scored another counter, then with a decisive victory already assured, the Warbirds turned loose and poured iour more touchdowns through the disor- ganized defense of the invaders. After Abilene's score had mounted to 49, Brownwood thrilled the two thousand five hundred fans when the Lions ran eighty-tive yards for a touchdown. Final score: Abilene 49, Brownwood 12. -5' DUB SIBLEY P. H. HILL CLAYTON LEACH Page 92
