Springdale Triumphs, Pointers Pay David Rushing G All District Billy Whitfield William Hayes John Steele Hugh Cobb FB FB QB HB It took a late TD to wrap up the Rogers Mountaineers, 13-6. The annual bitter rivalry with Springdale proved to have its normal amount of fire works . The Red Dogs used a penalty to keep possession of the ball at a critical juncture of the contest. The break was used to the utmost advantage . A short screen pass followed by a lightning fast touchdown run by its recipient gave it to the Springdalians, 13-7. The highly rated Van Buren Pointers were stymied by a rock- ribbed Bulldog defense. A Pointer aerial was blocked early in the final period. A Fayetteville man gathered it in and raced for the only score of the evening. The lads of Bob Burns' home town were sent back, 6-0.

Rushing Rushes O'er Subiaco Goal: Effort Wasted: Game Lost, 7-6 Homecoming was a gala occasion. In addition to the bonfire, party, pep rally, and usual excitement, there was a glorious 13- 6 triumph at the expense of Springfield, Missouri. The Pooches passed and ran for two touchdowns to offset the lone Springfield TD . After the tension caused by two consecutive games of such spine-tingling qualities, the Bulldogs were in for a letdown. The Joplin Eagles took advantage of this situation. The Flock re- pulsed an early Dog drive on their own six yard stripe, and then marched 94 yards for a TD. The entire encounter was equally as disappointing. It wound up dismally, 27-6 against the boys of Vandergriff . All pain was forgotten in the final contest of the year. Fay- etteville pounced on Huntsville for a 28-7 verdict.
