AuStue 8 The Pinevillc Rebels, under the leadership of David Bates, extended their victor)’ skein to twelve games by rolling over a weary Stephen F. Austin team at Port Arthur, Texas. After trailing 8-0, the Rebels came back fighting in the second quarter with touchdown runs of two yards by Bates and three yards by Wayne Martin. After these two long TD drives, the Austin Eagles seemed to simply run out of steam. The Eagles came back strong to start the second half. But after their drive was halted deep in Rebel territory all of the fight seemed to have been taken out of them. Taking advantage of the Eagles’ weariness, Bates rifled his second long TD pass in as many games to Charles Frantom. This one covered sixty-five yards. With ten seconds left in the half, Bates hit Sophomore halfback Dalton McRight in the end zone for the two-point conversion under Texas rules. 50 ect dy SftOScuty fosses mpamj Charles Frantom Wayne Martin Richard Beeson
