The Tors finished their district schedule with a spectacular 22-0 win over their oldest rivals, the Goose Creek Ganders, This was the first time since 1938 that the Tors had overtaken Coach Dan Halls- worth's Ganders, D. A. Clements scampered to pay dirt twice and Alvaro once on a T0-yard punt return. After being held to one touchdown for the entire first half, the Golden Tornadoes suddenly began to click in the second half to down Kirwin 32-0 and take the 1946 city championship before over 5,000 fans at School Park. lt was the fourteenth meeting of the two squads, and the win was Ball's thirteenth of the series. The two elevens tied in 1935. The Bucs played a terrific defensive game to battle the Tornado offense in the first half, but could not hold the spirited Tor eleven in the second half. Three Tornado markers were tallied via the ground, while the other two were by air. In spite of a muddy field, both squads played hard football. Thus the Tors ended their 1946 season. -CContinued from Page 933 the lead the Pasadena Eagles took in the early part of the game. Some fine talent was displayed by the Tors' all-round forward, Buddy Bev- eridge, as he took high point honors for the night. The ,Tors continued their season by being defeated by the future district champs, the Beaumont Purples. The Port Arthur Yellow Jackets, paced by George Sladwyck, effected the Tors' fifth beating. The South Park Greenies pushed the Tors further into the cellar by handing them their sixth straight defeat. The Goose Creek Ganders, the Tors' district Nemesis, journeyed to the isle, and paced by 6'6 George Sutton, defeated the Tors for their seventh straight defeat. The Tors finally broke into the district win column by smashing the powerful Orange Tigers, 62-27. South Park's Greenies, guided by Floyd Eberhardt, were stopped by the Tornadoes' great defensive set-up. The Ball High Tornadoes copped their third straight city cham- pionship in as many years by defeating the Kirwin Buccos three straight. ,The Tornadoes, again paced by Buddy Beveridge, were hardy enough to be at their best when playing their crosstown rival, Kirwin. The team had six players alternating in the starting lineup during the season: john Nash, Buddy Beveridge, Billy Hempel, Ray Wo- mack, Edward Zambon, and james Black. Ball I-Iigh's versatile for- ward, Beveridge, lived up to his advance billing as all-district by lead- 97
