FOOTBALL nl Bailey, Buffington, and Gonzales get side line tips from Coaches Fowler and Garland during the Killeen- University game. SEASON Sept. 9-Trojans vs. Cameron Yeomen. The Trojans launched their T955 season by outplaying the Yeomen only to lose the game in the last three and one-half minutes. The game opened when the Trojans moved the ball 7l yards to the Yeo goal line only to be stopped by penalties of too much time and offsides. Late in the second quarter the Trojans marched from their own 49 to the Yeo two, only to lose the ball on a fumble. With the fourth period five minutes old Robert Duty sneaked over from the one to put the Trojans ahead 6-0. This lead was short lived, however, for Cameron drove 70 yards to score with a penalty against the Trojans putting the ball in scoring position on the three. The Yeomen then led 7-6 and cinched the game with an intercepted pass run back for a touchdown. Sept. l6-Trojans at Killeen. Trojan fans saw plenty of scoring this Friday night only to see the Trojans fall short in the duel 110-19. The Trojans, however, were again plagued by fumbles as they lost the ball three times. The Trojans scared the Kangaroos with their surprising offensive power by marching 65 yards for a touch- down the first time they had the ball. The attack by the Trojans concentrated for three quarters on the tricky leg work of halfbacks Jurecka and Kaluza. Late in the final period quarterback Robert Duty took to the air and led a 60-yard march which ended, on the game's final play, with a scoring pitch to Donald Dees in the flat that covered eight yards. Defensively Trojan standouts were guards, Bill Moeller and Wendell Crunk and center, Stanley Rentz. Sept. 23-Trojans vs. Ennis Lions. Victory came sweet and gentle to the welcoming arms of the University Trojans at Municipal Stadium as they completely outclassed and overpowered the highly-touted Ennis Lions, 6-0. Duty was masterful in play calling and threw several passes to Henderson who made some fine catches. The Trojans played like an organized unit and were all heroes in winning this one. Dees was the scoring hero pile-driving over from two yards out for the winning touchdown early in the second period. Fine defensive performances were turned in by Buffington, Moeller, Propst, Henderson, French, McNamara, and Rentz. The Trojan defense was so tight that the Lions could muster only four first downs, only one coming in the second half. The Lions were also held to only 57 yards on the ground and T8 in the air.
