FOOTBALL lContinuedi Nov. 4-Trojans at Palestine. The Wildcats stunned the Trojans with two touchdowns in the first six minutes and went on to win the game 35-7. Duty kept the Wildcats constantly off balance with a terrific first-half passing display while Kaluza turned in several fine runs to account for the majority of the Trojan yardage. ln the line, Coy Bailey, Stanley Rentz, Wendell Crunk, and Bill Curry were the standouts for the Trojans. Nov. l l-Trojans vs. McCallum Knights. The University Trojans struck with the fero- city and finesse of district champions during a three touchdown second half as they smothered the McCallum Knights of Austin 26-7 to clinch fifth place in the District 5AAA standings. Jurecka scored the Trojan's first two touchdowns, one from the 4-yard line and the other on a 34-yard burst through the right side of the Knight line with his path being fully cleared by a sensational block by Earl Cownover around the McCallum TO-yard line. Kaluza scored the Trojans' final touchdown from two yards out after setting up the third on a pass play from Duty to Henderson with Henderson lateralling to Kaluza who raced to the Knights' 9-yard line on a 2l-yard run. Donald Dees then went 9 yards right up the middle to give the Trojans a 20-7 lead. Kaluza turned in a fine defensive performance also for the winners to share the spotlight with Crunk, Henderson, McNamara, Buffington, Propst, and Stan Price. Nov. 18-Trojans at Brownwood. The Brownwood Lions had to stage a miraculous comeback scoring 20 points in the fourth period ot down a fighting band of Univer- sity Trojans, 32-20. The loss brought down the grid curtain on Coach Bill Fowler's charges, giving the Trojans, who were not expected to win a district game, a 3-4 district 5AAA record. Kaluza got the Trojans rolling to their first touchdown in the second period, returning a Lion punt 46 yards to the Brownwood 19. Four plays later, Dees blasted over from the one. Chambers' kick made it 7-0. Later in the second quarter, James Davis recovered a Lion fumble on their 34 yard line which led to another touchdown. The Trojans scored again in the third quarter when Duty plunged over from the one yard line after Jurecka had put the ball on the three on a 30-yard run. Stanley Rentz and Dan Hoffmeyer were also outstanding for the Trojans. BASEBALL fContinuedi May 3: Trojans vs. Waco High at Waco. The Trojans lost their second game of the year to their cross-town rivals by a score of 7-5. Although they out-hit the Tigers nine to five the Trojans made five errors which accounted for their downfall. Bill Curry and Stanley Rentz led the Trojans with three and two hits respectively. May 6: Trojans vs. Bryan at Bryan. Again errors led to the downfall of the Trojans as they allowed the Bronchos two unearned runs in the third which was enough to win although they added one more for good measure. Lewis Propst scored the only run the Trojans produced. May 9: Trojans vs. Temple at Waco. A three-run outburst in the last inning netted Temple the runs necessary to win their second game in district play from the Trojans this year. The best catch of the year was made when Lewis Propst raced far in to- ward the diamond to spear a fly and then jumped up in time to throw to first base for a double play.

THE END FOOTBALL lContinuedl Sept. 30-Trojans vs. Corsicana Tigers at Municipal Stadium. The Trojans, sensational in every phase, crushed out a 14-7 victory over the Tigers as they made it two in a row and also a district opener win. Defying bad breaks and capitalizing the ones they obtained themselves, the Trojans streaked on to victory following Coy Bailey's recovery of a dropped Trojan punt on the Tiger 30-yard line late in the third period. Every Trojan played his heart out and earned the well-deserved victory. Kaluza was the outstanding ball carrier, picking up 130 yards in I4 carries. Buf- fington was the standout on defense along with Moeller, Propst, McNamara, and Rentz. The Trojans marched 96 yards to score along in the second period with Dees plunging over from the one yard line. Chambers' kick was good and the game was 7-O. Corsicana managed to tie it up 7-all just before halftime. The winning drive began when Dees punted and Bailey obtained possession for the Trojans when the ball trickled off a Tiger punt received. Four plays later Duty sneaked over from the one yard line. Chambers converted and the Trojans led T4-7. Oct. 7-University Trojans at Bryan. The Bryan Bronchos proved to be a rugged team as they won a hard fought game over the Trojans 20-6. The loss put the Tro- jans' AAA record at one and one. Bryan turned a first-quarter Trojan fumble into a touchdown and pounced on three more in the third quarter. The Trojans' lone touchdown came on a brilliant 43 yard touchdown run by Raymond Kaluza on the fourth play of the last quarter. Oct. 14-Trojans vs. Travis Rebels at Austin. The Trojans exploded in the first quarter for three touchdowns and then proceeded to crush Travis 26-7 for their second District SAAA victory. George Jurecka was the man of the hour, scoring one touchdown, a 68-yard jaunt on his first carry of the night, and picking up l6O yards in T7 carries. The eager Trojans jumped on an early Travis miscue and converted it into their first touchdown and after gaining possession of the ball again after the kick-off, Jurecka unleashed his 68-yard scamper to pay-dirt. Duty completed the scoring late in the fourth period from 2 yards out after a 43-yard drive by the Trojans. Buffington once again was the backbone of the Trojan defense along with Bill Moeller, Lanny French, and Lewis Propst. Oct. 21-Trojans vs. Temple Wildcats. The University Trojans, overpowered but not outfought, went down against the fired-up Wildcats, 38-6 before a homecoming crowd of 3,000 fans. After holding the Wildcats on even terms during the first period, the scrappy Trojans gradually gave way to the consistent onslaught of the Temple team. Jurecka brought the only sunshine to the Trojan fans when in the second period he muffed the Temple kickoff on his 15 yard line, scooped up the ball on the 20 and raced 80 yards for the Trojans' lone touchdown.
