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.
