The ground attack was led by Earl Hinson and Ronnie Graves as they bolted through the Denton line on many occasions. Directing the Colt attack from his quarterback position was David Snider, and fullback Danny Smith added some valuable yardage including one touchdown plunge. An outstanding performance was turned in for Arlington by end Wayne Crowley as he caught the only two Colt pass completions. Donald Thompson and Bennie Handley were outstanding on defense as they opened holes time and time again in the Bronco line. Ronnie Graves charged 12 yards to score Arlington's first touchdown of the 1955 season. The other scores were made by Smith and Larry Mc- Fadinon plunges of five and two yards, respectively. GREENVILLE Led by fullback Danny Smith, Arlington nipped the Greenville Lions 13-7 for their second straight victory. Outstanding for the Green and White was end Wayne Crowley, senior, who caught several passes thrown by quarterback David Snider. The Colt's running attack was sparked by Danny Smith and Ronnie Graves. Snider scored the first Colt score on a one-yard plunge after Smith had set up the touchdown on a series of line plays. Smith tallied the clinching touchdown in the fourth quarter when he smashed over from the three-yard line. John Young kicked the extra point. Danny Smith was consistent ground gainer as he kept the Arlington touchdown drives alive to chalk up victory No. 2 for the Colts, McKinney Steady and determined playing on the part of the Colt lettermen chalked up the third victory of the season as the Colts defeated McKinney 27 - 6. Quarterback David Snider scored two touchdowns in this game which saw the Colts trounce the Lions. Two of the main plowhorses for the Colts were Ronnie Graves and Danny Smith. Earl Hinson's interception and 99 yard touchdown run and Gerald Lively's shoestring tackle on the two-yard line ending a 43-yard run by Kenneth Locke of McKinney, proved to be the sensation plays of the evening. John Young played a fine defensive game at his linebacker spot along with linemen Charles Jacobs, 3ennie Handley and David and Donald Thompson as they stopped the McKinney eleven on numerous occasions. TERRELL Arlington Colts suffered their first de- feat of the season to a strong and de- termined team, the Terrell Tigers. An alert Tiger team took advantage of an early Colt fumble to lead at the end of the first quarter by a score of 7 - 0 in favor of Terrell. Quarterback David Snider took to the air and completed 10 of 23 passes for the evening. Snider's passes brought the Colts very close to victory. With less than three minutes left in the game Graves smashed over for Arlington's first touchdown. Terrell fumbled and the Colts took over with 2 1 2 minutes left in the game. Snider again took to the air but an interception spoiled the Colt's hopes. Arling- ton regained the ball and drove hard but time ran out on them with the Tigers taking the victory 13-7. Charles Jacobs was the outstanding lineman and Frank Hilliard played very well both on defense and offense. GRAND PRAIRIE Some 5500 fans watched the Grand Prairie Gophers slip past the Arlington Colts by a score of 14-6. This was Arlington's fifth game of the season and the second defeat. Undoubtedly Earl Hurleson of the Gophers was the biggest worry to the Colts. The Gophers racked up a total of 300 yards rushing while the Colts could tally only 145 yards on the ground. The half ended, however, in a 0-0 deadlock. Grand Prairie scored first and followed with a second touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Arlington's first score in district play came on a pass from quarterback David Snider to end Wayne Crowley with less than 13 seconds left to play in the ball game. WEATHERFORD The crowd held its breath as Weatherford received the opening kickoff and fumbled with the Colts recover- ing. On the first down Danny Smith went around end for Arlington's first touchdown within 55 seconds of the first quarter. The Colts again took possession of the ball as a result of a Weatherford fumble and quarterback David Snider passed to Earl Hinson in the end zone for the Colts' second touchdown. The halftime score was 13-7 in favor of Arlington. Later in the third period the 'Roos scored another 7 points leaving the score 14- 13 with the Colts on the short end. Snider put the Colts ahead with a 62 yard scamper up the middle. An intercepted pass by halfback Earl Hinson put the Colts ahead with a score of 27 - 14. Later in the fourth quarter Kenneth Williams broke loose from Weatherford defenders to score Arling- ton's final touchdown. This was the Colt's first conference win in three years. CLEBURNE The Colts squeezed by the Cleburne Yellowjackets for their second conference win of the season. Arlington pushed her way into Cleburne territory several times throughout the first three quarters but each time a fumble or pass interception kept the Colts from scoring. Later in the fourth quarter the Colts took possession of the ballon the Cleburne 46 yard line. From there Graves smashed over for the score. John Young passed to Hin- son for the extra point. Donald and David Thompson were the outstanding linemen of the evening along with Bennie Handley, who was in on almost every tackle against the hard-rushing Cleburne offense. GARLAND With all-stater Bobby Boyd going over for four touchdowns the Garland Owls protected their high standing in the 3A Conference by outscoring the Colts 40- 19. Garland was never behind although Arlington tied the score at 6 - 6 late in the opening.quarter. The touchdown came on a pass from Ronnie Graves to end Wayne Crowley,good for 32 yards. The Colts came back with two late touchdowns in the final eight minutes of play. Graves threw his second touchdown pass of the evening; again it was to Crowley, who covered 81 yards. The Colt's other touchdown came on an 8-yard slant off tackle by halfback Kenneth Williams. IRVING The Irving Tigers edged by the Arlington Colts 14- 13 for an unexpected upset on Thanksgiving Eve. Irving made the first touchdown of the game and the extra point was good. The first quarter ended with the Tigers out in front 7-0. Late in the second quarter, the Colts drove over for their first touchdown but failed on the extra point attempt. In the third quarter Larry McFadin plunged over for the Colt's second tally. The conversion was made by Bucky Workman. In the final quarter the Tiger's success carried them 40 yards for another touchdown and their success in kicking the extra point meant victory for them. Thds the Colts evaded the 1955 season with a 6 - 4 won - lost record. MANAGERS RICHARD BUCHER,CHARLES THOM- AS, JOHN LARSON, JAMES THOMP- SON, JIMMY KANEHL, and WAYNE SAWYER.
