The hard-hitting, scrappy team rolled over a favored Travis of Austin in their first game for the first win of the season and in the school's history. They went on to be taken by Victoria, but made up for it by stomping Brack and edging Alice. After being beaten by Edinburg, they came home and cleaned neighboring Robstown. Due to stiff competition in Harlingen, Miller, Ray, and Edinburg, the last games' were lost. Game captains are important to a team in that they are responsible for their team while on the field. But the boys elected year captains are honored indeed. They are elected at the end of the season by their teammates. This year's deserving captains are Harry Beavers, Johnny Boyd, and John Hardin. The duties of a manager are manifold. They have to issue, care for, and repair equipment, and act as doctors. Present managers, who have done a wonderful job this year are Gary McMenamy, Skip Lang, Bob Falk, and Ralph Simmons. They were chosen by the coaches on the basis of responsibility, honesty, and alertness.

TIGERS TAKE COYOTES, CARROLL I2 ALICE 8 The pass-conscience Alice Coyotes led the favor- ed Tigers for forty minutes, but finally yielded to Robert Rincon late in the last period of play. Carroll got off to a bad start. fumbling on the opening kickoff and giving Alice the ball. Three and a half minutes later, the Coyotes held an 8-0 lead. The Tigers finally started moving midway in the second period when they absorbed 80 yards in 11 plays. Willie Hardcman carried the touchdown play. but the Coyotes still lead, 8-6. Rincon's timely expedition saved the day. when he broke loose from the Tiger 42 and ran 58 long yards for the winning six points, MEET WITH STATISTICS Carroll Alice I5 First downs I2 226 Yards rushing 77 33 Yards passing 96 II Passes attempted I9 3 Passes completed 9 I lntercepted by 2 3-28.7 Punts 6-33.7 3 Fumbles lost 4 7-85 Penalties 6-60 STATISTICS Carroll Victoria 8 First downs I0 42 Rushing Yardage 221 93 Passing Yardage 0 ll Passes Attempted I 8 Passes completed 0 0 lntercepted by 2 5 Fumbles lost 2 6-55.2 Punts 6-l6.7 I0-68 Penalties 7-35 CARROLL 6 VICTORIA I9 The Tigers found that the Stingarees really do have stringers on their tails, which they exhibited and wielded to the tune of 19-6 before 4,000 spectators' in Victoria Those same fans watched both teams get penalty after penalty and the Tigers lose possession of pigskin five times to have important drives halted. Robert Rincon ran back a kickoff early in the second period to start the Tigers on their first-and last-touchdown. After his 27-yard run, Rincon shared in nine gains to the Victoria 45.
