The Foofball Season i . , if ll HE Cisco Loboes of the season of '26 had a rather tough schedule, playing seven official games in the district and finally losing out in the district fl finals to the Ranger Bulldogs. In preparation for the official games, f'oa.ches Chapman and Golightly pitted if the inexperienced Loboes against the best and fastest Class B teams in West ' l 1 Texas. The season was opened with a 51 to 0 win over Gorman. The next week V l the Loboes were held 6 to 0 by Stamford on Stamford 's home field. Graham was l defeated on Chesley Field by a score of 51 to 0. The final Class B game was I with Big Springs and the Loboes won by a score of 33 to 7. Big Springs was . the first team to score on the Loboes. , In the first official game the Loboes rose to great heights in overpowering the San Angelo Bobcats 64 to 0. The Loboes ran wild from the opening of the ' game and showed a versatile attack, which baffled the Bobcat eleven. r 5 Breckenridge afforded the Loboes the first real opposition of the year and , came near setting the Loboes back a notch in the championship race. The Loboes A scored on the third play of the game after a sensational 55-yd. run by Meadows. I Breck managed to shove over a touchdown just as the half ended, after the l I E l Loboes had scored their second touchdown. The score at the half was 14 to 6 T 4 in favor of the Loboes. In the second half the Loboes came back fighting, and i the Bucks were unable to stop the charging and end runs of Meadows, Boone, Westerfeldt, and Eddleman. Murray and Huestis were out of the game with injuries, but the Loboes ran up 27 points to 6 for the Bucks. Eastland was defeated by the Loboes after a hard battle. Eastland played Q, a strictly defensive game, while the Loboes took every opportunity on offense and W1 defense. Many Lobo regulars were out of the line-up, but the substitutes had . 5 to fight to hold the Mavericks while scoring three touchdowns. Westerfeldt, li Blanton, and Eddleman were the outstanding players for the Loboes. li The next week the Loboes defeated Stephenville Yellow Jackets in one of ll the best games of the year, by a score of 16 to 0. Huestis made tl1e touchdowns, f one on a 25-yd. end run and the other after receiving a pass thrown by Meadows is . for a gain of 55-yds. The 'whole line worked nicely on defense, and Meadows Q N and Huestis ripped off many long gains on offense. lg is a Following the Stephenville game, the Loboes met defeat by an Eastland it County team, for the first time in five years by the Ranger Bulldogs. g The ,, l ii n 1 Bulldogs played a waiting game, and, when the breaks came, they took advantage of them to score twice and win. The first break for Ranger was on the initial Qi kick off when a lateral pass-Mead-ows to Huestis-fell short and Ranger re- E covered on the Lobo 4-yd. line and bueked it over in four plays.

SPRANVLS-lflml ' ' R ami H As an end 'tRunt was always depend- able, despite his size and weight. He was business manager for the team, and his services will be missed next season. K ld Y l'l S-Hzllfba Ck Gardner Goober was light and for this rea- son did not appear in many games, but his 120 pounds was hard to stop once he got started. With added weight he will be hard to keep off the first team next Season. i MAYERfGuard C'lz,ic:lLm ' This was Elsworth's first year, but as a player he was a veteran and one of the most steady, dependable players on the squad and a hard worker. His first year was also his last. One Hundred Sixteen BATES-End iflgdw Ed was equally good as an end or tackle, but won football recognition as an end against the Abilene Eagles. He will no doubt hold down an end or tackle position for the Loboes of '27.

15 , 9 Q The Football Season Goncluded break, the Lobo back field became too anxious and allowed a pass to be intercepted by Mills, who returned it 90-yds. for a touchdown for Ranger. In the second half the Loboes earned a touchdown after a steady march down the field headed by Yeager. The good old Lobo line --Andrus, Blanton, Brown, Smith, McCord, Murray, Perdue, and Pippen-opened large gaps in the Bulldog line. The Loboes earned the only break of the game in the last few seconds of the game when Andms blocked a drop kick, scooped it up, and ran to the 10-yd. line. The Loboes were too well spent and unable to score, causing the Loboes to lose, 13 to 6. The Abilene Eagles were the next team to invade Cisco. The two teams were as evenly matched as the score indicates, with the balance in favor of the Loboes, 7 to 3. Instilled with the thoughts of playing for the honor of a deceased Lobo, Chigger Brown, the Loboes were unbeatable as proved by the victory of the Loboes. In the line, the Eagles met a stone wall defense in Blanton, Murray, Perdue, and Andrus. Willie Smith played his best game of the season while Huestis, Yeager, and Meadows also played stellar games. The championship of the Oil Belt was to be decided on a percentage basis. This left the Loboes in a tie with Ranger for first place. The deciding game was played in a sandstorm on Chesley Field on Thanksgiving Day. Neither team could do much on offense. The Loboes had two chances at field goals, but missed both tries. Buster Mills dropkieked one for the Bulldogs and won the District Championship for Ranger. THE LOBO PUPS The Lobo Pups played games with Class B teams and scrub teams from Class A schools, and were given Pup sweaters for this and the service done in conditioning the first string. The outstanding men were Harold Pippen, Curly Kellogg, J. L. Moore, Leroy Purvis, Raymond Meadows, Lewis Miller, Charlie Coldwell, and Clyde Manning.
