By BER HENRY A I’a Javelinas dropped a heart-breaking 26-21 deci- sion to the Southwest Texas' Hobcats last Saturday in the team’s first Lone Star Conference grid clash. Playing in their own back yard the ’Cats took advantage of the Hogs’ slow start and racked up 12 points before the end of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter a 70-yard touchdown march was staged by the Javelinas with Quarterback Joe Green connecting with three straight passes. He flipped two in a row to End Johnny McCampbell and hit Halfback Cal Hutzier, who made a spectacular falling catch on tiie Bobcat 18-yard' marker. Two line plunges moved the ball to the 12 where a fake field goal attempt left Fullback Steve Curry open on the six for a pass com- pletion. A Bobcat penally advanc- ed the ball to the one-yard line where Hutzier boomed over guard for the touchdown. Green made the first of three perfect extra point kicks. DOYLE CHRISTIAN, Tackle Squadman, Bishop ROBERT DICKENS, Halfback, Squadman, Carriio Springs Hogs Bow To Kats A I’s Javelinas kept abreast of the Sam Houston Bearkats during the first half last Saturday night but faltered in the third quarter to lose their second consecutive Lone Star Conference encounter 30-25. Sam Houston was winning their second straight Conference game, depending on a good supply of swift, deceptive backs. Both teams pushed across first quarter scores, A I failing to con- vert after theirs to give the Bear- kats a 7-6 lead. In the second per- iod each team scored again, both conversion attempts falling short to give Sam Houston a 3 3-12 half- ■ imo lead.______________ East Texas Lions Claw Hogs 14-7 in Commerce A I started strong but was unable to hold East Texas State in the fourth quarter as the Lions rode a 30-mile an hour wind to two touchdowns and a 14-7 win in Commerce Saturday. A I scored first on the last play of the first quarter when Halfback Cal Hutslel went around right end for 11 y a r d s. Quarterback Joe Green added ihe extra point. East Texas tied it up early in the fourth quarter on a two yard smash by Halfback Harold Mus- grove and Quarterback Jack Pir- key’s conversion.

It was the last game of the season for the Javs and loft their season record at 4-6. Pre - game predictions showed the Hoggies one or two touchdown favorites, but the Cardinals upset the dope bucket, scoring twice in the first period to jump ahead 13- 0. The Javelinas moved offensive- ly in the second stanza to rack up a touchdown and a safety to make the halftime score 13-9. La- mar Tech added the final tally late in the third period, and had one called back in the fourth quarter because of a clipping pen- alty.
