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.

YEAGER Captain Yeager led his team through four championships for the most success- ful season in Basket Ball in the history of Cisco High School. Yeager was the most consistent guard in the state and was selected on the second All-State team. Clif is fast, a wonderful dribbler, and an accurate basket tosser from the center of the court. V B. PIPPEN The best forward in the Oil-Belt and an all-round player covering the court well and a good defense man. Brit led the team in scoring for the season, ring- ing something over 200 points. Brittain will be back next year and is certain to land an All-State berth. l GEO. VAN HORN George came to Cisco from Kansas with a basket ball reputation. He alter- nated at guard and forward and put up a good game in either position. He is quick as a flash and covered more court than any other man on the team. George will be back next year and should be a sensation. One Hundred Twenty I L. PURVIS Purvis was late in getting started, but when he did-? Leroy broke loose in the second Ranger game and rang baskets from every conceivable angle, and, as the season progressed, he grew better with every game. Purvis has a good eye for the basket, and there are few better forwards than Leroy.
