:a B H Dedication Backbone of Winning Team RAIDERS TROT TO their 3rd of 15 victories this season. The victims in this instance were the Alamo Heights Mules. JAMES HENDRICKS, RESTING from the exhausting game, watches for his signal to return to play. 130— Sports JOHNSTON . . . The rain and the Johnston Rams put up a good fight, but they could not stop the Raiders, who won victory number 19 by a score of 17-7. The Rams were determined, but not as de- termined as the Raiders were to win the game. In the 1st quarter, Emory Bellard threw a 62-yard bomb to Jackie Linam in the end zone. In the 3rd quarter Bellard again hit paydirt with a 40-yard toss to Mike Bayer. The golden toe of Billy Schott kicked a field goal and two extra points, giving the Raiders a slim 10 point margin over a tough Johnston squad. CROCKETT . . . With the pinpoint passing of Emory Bellard and an outstanding defense, the Raiders shut out the Crockett Cougars, a team new to the district, by a score of 24-0. The first tally for Reagan came in the 2nd quarter when Billy Schott booted a field goal. Shortly before the end of the half Jackie Linam received a four-yard toss from Bellard in the end zone. Near the end of the 3rd quarter Donald Ealey scampered 6 yards past the Cougar defenders for a touchdown. Mike Bayer tallied the final Raider touch- down on a one-yard plunge. Schott kicked the 3 extra points. The unbeatable Reagan defense held the punchless Cougars to 103 yards total offense.

The Raiders experienced a slow start as they led by a mere 7 points at the end of the first half. This touchdown came from Gene Sanders on a 1-yard plunge in the first quarter. In the 4th quarter Donald Ealey broke the game wide open as he galloped 34 yards before crossing the goal line for the 2nd Reagan tally. Mike Bayer clinched the game for Reagan when he gathered in an 8-yard toss from Emory Bellard for a touchdown. Billy Schott again kicked all of the extra points. The Reagan defense was at its best as McCallum entered Raider territory only 3 times all night and gained only 62 yards offensively. LANIER ... On Halloween night the defending State Champions thrashed the Lanier Vikings by a score of 31-0. In the 2nd quarter following a Lanier quick kick, Howard Shaw chalked up the first Raider touchdown. Early in the 2nd quarter Shaw again powered his way for 6 points, which was fol- lowed by a Billy Schott field goal later on in the quarter. In the 3rd quarter Jackie Linam darted 20 yards before scoring. After Steve Grant recovered a fumble on the Lanier 27, Robert Miller fired a touchdown pass to Mike Bayer. Billy Schott kicked all the extra points for the Raiders. The Vikings have never beaten Reagan. PEERING THROUGH HIS face mask, Howard Shaw gets an unusual inside view of the action outside. 132 — Sports
