4iI1 Qtr T D Gives Irving 7-0 Win STATISTICS TRINITY IRVING First Downs 7 10 Yards Rushing 91 140 Yards Passing 12 82 Total Yards 103 222 The lrving Tigers hosted the Trinity Trojans on a cold Sat- urday night in early November for what seemed to be a slow, almost uneventful game. The cold weather seemed to have an effect on the game because the fumbles were plentiful. The entire first half had no strong points except for a strong goal-line stand by the Trojans on their own 3-yard line. Half time score: 0-0. The second half was the same as the first while each side gradually became stronger. A desperate effort in the waning moments of the game proved successful for the Irving Tigers. On their own 46 the Tigers tried a long shot to the left which carried them 54 yards into the end zone. The surprised Trojans tried desperately to fight back but the clock ran out. Final score Irving 7, Trinity 0.
