pot! FOOTBALL 1946 Football opened with a bang and I mean with a real honest to goodness Bang in Ol T H S People who had never come out to see the Tigers play were behind them and thats all it took to open a good season Our first game was played on September 13 against Navasota at Prichett Field Huntsville The scrappy Tigers won by the tight score of 6 2 The Rat tlers made their two points on a safety The Tigers score came on a pass to Owens h nd zone The Tigers next obiective was Woodville This game was played on September 20 The under rated Eagles came out on the short end of a 41 U score The Tiger touchdowns were made by Walker Hartless and Mc Guire The Tigers blocking looked like improvement and the forward wall was very hard to penetrate After a week s rest from the scorn of battle the Tigers played their first game on the new field here in Trinity The Tige s played host to the Madisonville Mustangs Thus on October 4 the Red s team went down 1n defeat to the tune of 24 0 The touchdowns were made by ,h Walker McGuire and Hartless. -' ' On October ll the Tigers packed their bags and moved to Czrapeland to tackle the air-minded Sandies. However, the Grapelancl bunch just didn't fly high or fast enough to overtake the Tigers. The Trinity boys proved .Y they could go on land or in the air as they mastered the Sandies I9-U. The Tigers pass defense showed strength as well as the forward wall. Touchdowns were made by Hartless and McGuire. Again, on October 18, we played host to an aggressive Alto Yellow-lacket team. Alto boasted a strong team and gave Trinity a run for their money. Neither of the forward walls could stop the hard running offense. The Yellow- Iackets totaled 24 points while the Tigers outpointed them with 27. Touchdowns were made by Owens, Walker, and McGuire. l
