Luck disappeared . as our Chargers met the Yazoo City Indians at Hughes Field and returned on the short end by a 20-6 margin. Miscues and turnovers bogged down offensive drives with the only high point coming late in the fourth quarter. A 61 yard combination pass from Williams to Skaggs provided six points . . . but toolate. Callaway's homecoming was dampened by a strong, 7th ranked Brookhaven football team. Af- ter giving the Panthers a fourteen point lead, through early mistakes, the Chargers fought back to lead 17-14 just before the half. But Brookhaven struck back with a quick touchdown to have a 21-17 halftime advantage. The second half was just a matter of Brookhaven's ground game wear- ing down the Charger defense resulting in a 34-17 smoke. Three examples of Fierce linemen fV3f?f ' i ' A TS '

FOOTBALL 'fHey Munchkin, you got him down there? Let me make this perfectly clear, the extra point was good. nu A - A A- 'H' .W -v Sophomore Mark McIntosh blossoms against Central. Success continues . in a Thursday night Charger victory over the Central Tigers 16-7. The Tigers posed no menacing threats the whole evening as our staunch defense constantly forced punting situations along with an effective offensive ground and air attack. Having just been stripped of all victories due to an ineligible player ruling, Callaway took on the archrival Murrah Mustangs yet wound up on the short end in a 20-7 decision. A huge crowd of 7,000 witnessed a quick Charger takeover as a 7 yard pass from Williams to Hutto provided six along with the point after by Bryan Rodgers. Optimism reigned although Mustang offensive drives put 20 points on the board and sealed final victory for the Old Grey Mare .
