Football The New Team crushed the Laredo Tigers 41-0. A great passing game was Displayed. It seemed as though the Eagle ends and backs just could not Miss the passes. Laredo 's flashy backs Were stopped in their tracks by the Eagle forward wall. But after that victory Gloom entered the Eagle camp. Alamo lleights protested Captain Wallace Murray's Age eligibility, and the school records showed That Murray was ineligihleg therefore The Eagles were forced to forfeit these Victories over Hallandale, Laredo, and Alamo Heights. The .latter game was Thrown out ol' the league. The Eagles then tricked the Corpus Christi Buccaneers. The Eagles outplayed the Buccaneers for the first three quarters. Batehelor's brilliant punting lfor Corpus saved The Buccaneers a great many times. The Eagles slipped in the fourth quarter. A completed pass netted Corpus Christi Their touchdown, and a margin of victory, 7-0. W. Ackerman J. Boles E. Bull W. Christian J. Dodgen P11176 17.5
