End Wfeight 170 September 12-It was revenge for the underdog Wildcat as they surprised the Plain- view eleven with a 14-8 upset victory. Senior halfback, james Pressley, led the 'Cats to victory by running for both T.D.'s, one for 81 yds. on a kick off return and one for 5 yds. after L. Foley had recovered a fumble on the Bulldogs 5-yd. line. Pressley passes to end, H. Hemphill, who ran for the extra 2 points. The 'Cats scored in the lst and 5rd quarters with the 2nd and 4th quarters being head-knocking football. Team- work accounted for the victory although Pressley, B. Wade, H. Hemphill, Black- well, R. McWilliams, Bo and Landon Roberts really stood out. September 19-The Littlefield Wildcats tallied in every quarter to stomp hapless Olton 42-6, in the Wildcat Stadium for the 1st home game. Sophomore fullback, jerry Koller, led in the scoring column with great runs, of 15, 22, and 36 yds. H. Hemp- hill, B. Jeffries, and Pressley all worked across the goal strip. The 1st quarter in- dicated a rough and tough game, but Littlefield took many advantages of Mustang mistakes. Every reserve got to see action in the last half as the 'Cats continued to roll over the hard fighting Olton Mustangs.

Pressley scored the 'Cats' 1st T.D. from 3 yds. out after Goldston had run it from the 16. Pressley threw to Gallini for the extra 2 points.', Score at the half was 22-8 in Kermit's favor. Kermit dominated the lst half with 135 out of 187 yds. in the air. The 3rd period saw both teams drive on the ground to threatening positions, but neither could cross the goal line. B. Jeffries passed to Koller after a fake kick, for the 2 points. Littlefield received 3 defensive penalties plus many 15-yd. penalties to set a record for the year in penalties in one game. October 25-The Wildcats started district play against the Phillips Blackhawks on another Saturday night before a Blackhawk homecoming crowd. The 'Cats fell before one of the hardest hitting and fastest teams in the district, 24-12. It was all Black- hawks the 1st 3 quarters for Littlefield couldnt get started. But the hard fighting Wfildcats came back the 4th period and looked like a new team. This time it was nearly all Wilclcats although they could muster only 2 T.D.s, both scored by fullback, J. Koller on plunges of 1 and 3 yds. with assisting gallops by Pressley and Goldston. Hard luck hit the 'Cats in the 2nd half when a Blackhawk kickoff bounced off guard, james Blackwell's back as he turned to set up his blocking pattern. The Hawks scored on this drive. A few plays later, on a punt, the ball hit Robert Massengale on the shoulder and was recovered by the Hawks who scored again. Neither team could score an extra point. Bo Roberts, junior, Guard, returned to action after laying out for four games with a broken wrist.
