THE EBB TIDE SEPTEMBER 12, 1941 Around The Hornet Clubhouse By COACH GEO. D. HOLST, III It’s time to fret the ole pigskin out of the mothballs, and start throwing it around. Everyone around this “City by the Sea” is ready to back their teams to the last minute of every game. The Hornets haven’t a game scheduled at this time, but should have a schedule by next week. How- ever, it is hoped their first game will be about September 15th. We all hope the Hornets will field a good team this season, but we also know they lost many of their starters from the ’48 team who will be hard to replace. They have only had three prac- tices so far, but “Tiny” Foltyn looks like he might want to play lots of ball and if he continues to work as hard as he has done this far he probably will. Some of the boys who were lettermen last year are really going to have to work to repeat as lettermen this year be- cause some of last year’s squadmen are showing much promise. Well, sports followers, I’ll see you next time with a few predic- tions and some sports dope. UK:: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: u u « « BRANDON'S Dry Goods - Shoes Notions - Hats PALACIOS.

Carry books of Seniors! 2. Don’t pass a Senior without a respectful hello. 3. Don’t take your bottle in the presence of Seniors. (They abhor infants!) 4. Don’t suck your thumb in the presence of Seniors. 5. Buy cold drinks for Seniors anytime you are requested to. Instead of wearing senior rings next year most of the girls will be wearing A. M. pins, judging from the number of Palacios boys ?oing to A. M. this fall. SHARKS— hard as his 120 pounds will allow him. He is going to let someone know he is around. Donny Kitchen :s making the go rough for some one, knowing that a guard position is open and wanting to play ball, he has put as much in the game an any one. The results of the past three weeks and the next twTo will just have to wait until the 16th of this month when the boys have their first game—lets hope for the best :: :: :: « j: j: x x x x X X X X X x x X X x x X x x W ffl ” :: :: M m s PETERSEN’S I s CAFE i i ; 416 Main St. « X x j.

PALACIOS HIGH SCHOOLS VOLUME 1 PUBLISHED BY P. H. S. STUDENT BODY NUMBER 2 F.F.A. CHAPTER HOLDS FIRST REGULAR MEETING SHARKS WIN OPENING TWO GAMES; HORNETS LOSE Black Kittens Down Sharks Win Opener Sharks Defeat With President Tom Boling pre- siding, the Palacios F. F. A. Chap- ter held its first meeting of the year, Wednesday, September 21st, in the Agriculture Class Room. Several important matters of bus- iness were discussed and disposed of. Miss Jeanette Williams was elected chapter sweetheart for the second consecutive year. Jeanette’s picture will be sent the “Future Farmer.” the official magazine of Texas F. F. A. Chapters, for pub- lication. The chapter also decided to start a “pig circle” this year for the first time. Money will be taken from the chapter treasury to pur- chase two registered Duros-Jersey gilts. These gilts will be presented to two F. F. A. boys who will use them for their chapter projects for this year. The only require- ment is that each boy give back to the chapter one gilt from the first litter. The chapter decided to have their regular meeine at night in ♦he future. The meetings will be held at 8:00 o’clock the first Tues- day of every month. WHO DENTED THE GREY GHOST? At a meeting of the Student Council of the Jr. and Sr. High Schools a special investigating Committee was appointed to de- termine who put the dent in the Jr. Hornets 33-7 In Opening Game The Bay City Black Kittens clawed the Palacios Junior High Hornets for 33 points while the Hornets stung for only 7 points at Bay City Thursday, September 22. The Black Kittens scored one touchdown in the first, two in the second, one in the third and one in the fourth quarter. The Hornets got their lone tally in the last quarter after “Red” Harvey had intercepted a pass and returned it to the Bay City 20 yard line.. Then behind good blocking, Pete “the walking arm” Sardelich scored on a right end sweep standing up. Sardelich and his receivers. Clem- ent, Harvey, Shearer, and Ken- nedy, completed 13 out of 15 passes. In the line Clint Wratislaw, Roy Smith, and “Red” Harvey turned in good ball games. Others start- ing for the Hornets were Linton, Bowers. Johnson, Foltyn, Humble, and Bolling. left rear fender of the Grey Ghost. When Mr. Smith and Mr. Shelton were called before the Student Council no definite information could be gathered. As no student had been seen driving the Grey Ghost, it seems that the investi- gating committee narrowed their search to two individuals. Further reports will be given. From Tidehaven By 33-0 Score The Palacios Sharks beat the Tidehaven Tigers 33-0 here Friday September 16. The game got under way when the Sharks kicked off to the Tigers. The ball was re- covered promptly by the Sharks when the Tigers fumbled. From that time on, it was mostly Pala- cios touchdowns and Tidehaven fumbles. Jimmy Kitchen came through with the first touchdown of the game. The try for the extra point was successful. Sam Seale made the second touchdown and John Gayle added another of the num- erous touchdowns just before the half ended. The Sharks kicked off to the Tigers again in the second half. Sam Seale made another touch- down. Shortly after he intercepted a pass and went 36 yards for a touchdown. Charley Warn finally made a first down for Tidehaven in the last quarter. John Gayle, Tom Bolling, Sam Seale, Jimmy Kitchen, George “Lit- tle Doak” Chiles, and Lynn Ram- sey made the first downs for the Sharks. Total yards gained by the Sharks were 192; for Tidehaven 57 yards. Beat the Bloomington Bobcats! Louise In Thrilling 2 To 0 Battle Our Sharks eked out a close 2 to 0 win over the fast charging Louise Hornets, Friday night, Sep- tember 23. The Louise Hornets started the game by kicking off to the Pa- lacios Sharks who after running it back about fifty yards lost the ball. Although the Hornets kept the ball most of the time in the first half they were unable to score. Every time they seemed to he get- ting somewhere the Sharks would hold for downs and kick out. Fate was with us at the end of the first half. The Hornets had carried the ball to our twelve yard line and a first down when the gun sounded ending the half. The Sharks came back into the game the second half with more steam than was shown in the first half. On a booming punt off the toe of John Gayle, which carried to the Hornet goal line, came the only score of the game. Bezdek, who was playing safety for the Hornets, received the ball on his own goal line and ran into the end zone to gain running room. How- ever, before he could again reach the playing field he was tackled bv five or six of the fast charging Sharks. We can feel very fortunate in winning this game from the Hor- (Continued on Back Page) THE SHARKS—Front row, left to right: James Milam, mgr., Roy Wesselman, Stanley Wright, Lynn Ramsey, Carroll Cairnes, Roy Markwardt, Buddy Crawford, and Coach R.
