James Goldston started Littlefields scoring with a pass play that covered 64 yds. thrown by Q.B., B. Jeffries. Then Jeffries threw to Minyard for 2 extra points. Pressley scored the 2nd 'Cat T.D. on il roll out pass from Jeffries from the six and the 3rd T.D. on a pitch out. J. Koller intercepted a Demon pass and rambled down the sideline for 40 yds. to end the scoring at halftime. The second half was for the most part a battle at midfield, with both teams engineering only one threat apiece. Dumas lost 3 fumbles as 'Cat Linemen led by XV. T. Erwin, K. Vifilemon, B. Wfade, Bo and Landon Roberts, H. Hemphill and G. Gallini hit the Demon backs with power. A snake dance was held to celebrate this victory with crys of Beat Levellandu ringing throughout the next seven days as school spirit reached its peak. November 21-Littlefields Vifildcats fell to the Lobo eleven 16-O, to ring up the only shut out for the 'Ciats. Littlefield threatened one time by going to the Lobo 10- yd. line. Play originated on the 'Cats 20-yd. line with the 'Cats getting 4 lst downs in a row. They got only 8 compared to Levellands 21 first downs the whole night. Neither team penetrated each 0ther's 25-yd. line during the final quarter. Landon Roberts, his brother Bo, and James Blackwell, a former Lobo, were responsible for either making the tackle or assisting a teammate on every play. Other 'Cats who dis- tinguished themselves were B. Wade, K. Wilemon, H. Hemphill, and XV. T. Erwin. Carrying the load in the backfield was Pressley, who ended 4 yrs. of varsity football, J. Koller, B, Jeffries, and Goldston. Twelve Wildcat seniors closed out their high school football careers in this game.

The Mustangs, rated No. 1 and 2 in the state all season, slipped past the hard-fighting Wildc'ats, 30-26. On the lst play of the 2nd quarter Jeffries passed to Pressley for the 'Cats' lst T.D. netting 63 yds. Points were no good and the score was 8-6. Sweetwater. Score was 22-6 at halftime. Sweet- water scored its last T.D. early in the 3rd period, Littlefield really caught fire. On taking advantage of a Mustang fumble to score on a 27-yd. pass from Jeffries to N. Hudson. Point was no good. Again the 'Cats romped to a T.D. after a Mustang fumble with Goldston going from the two after some razzle-dazzle running by Press- ley, who faked on a kick when the 'Cats needed 15 yds. for a lst to run for 22 and 40 yds. respectively. Again point was no good. I-lalfback Goldston electrified the crowd with an 81-yd. T.D. scamper in the final stanza. This time Pressley passed on to Hemphill for the extra 2 points. Sweetwater kicked to Littlefield with just a few minutes remaining. Pressley ran the ball to the 'Cat 35, but a clipping penalty, a close call, nullified the play, penalized the 'Cats and gave Sweetwater a first down at the 50-yd. line, when the clock ran out Littlefield had recovered seven of ten Sweet- water fumbles although the Mustangs led by large margins in the statistics. The whole team played as great a game as could be asked for the first homecoming in L.H.S. history.
