Ranked third in the state, Spring Branch's Golden Bears hit Victoria and left with a squeaking 2-point victory. The STINGARFES, after winning its last three games by a total of only eight points, got a dose of its own medicine in losing 14-12. Spring Branch struck first on a 27 yard scamper by the Bears' Chris Gil- bert with 4:-41 left in the first half. After a punt exchange, Victoria recovered a Bruin fumble on the Sting 48. Wfith only two seconds left in the half, Cubby Hudler faded back to pass, couldnt find a receiver and shot over the goal for the tally, Hyman's conversion was blocked and Victoria trailed 7-6 at halftime. Coming back after the half, Spring Branch scored first again. After kicking the extra, the Bears led 14-6. Shortly after that the Stings began to move, With a third down situation coming up on the Spring Branch 30, Gary Teague plunged through the line and dashed all the way for the touchdown. I-Iudleris pass for the extra fell short and score stood 14-12. With only a little more than three minutes left, Victoria had the ball, first and goal on the Bear 7 yard line. Three plays netted five yards. On fourth down on the 1V2 yard line, Hudler fell inches short of a Sting victory. Spring Branch then ran out the clock. I GOT IT! I GOT IT! yells halfback Paul Kornfuehrer, No. 30, as he reels in a long pass to take the Stings deep into Bear territory.

For the second week in succession, a safety proved to be the difference in the close score. This time, Dave Childers, defensive end, shot through the Owl line to nail the punter behind the goal line. Later in the second quarter, the Owls took the ball, and in 12 plays, covering 55 yards, marched over into paydirt for the tally. The extra point boot was good and the score stood 7-2 at the half. Netting only 12 yards rushing and two first downs the first half, Victoria came out fighting. The Stings moved 69 yards in 13 plays for their first touchdown of the evening and took the lead. Hymanys boot was good and Victoria led 9-7. On a fumble recovery, the Stings began another march at the Owl 48. Six plays later, Arthur Cooley banged over for the score. Hyman's kick was again good and the Stings led 16-7.

Harris-Led Beaumont Romps Stings LET GO OF ME, YOU . . . YOU . . cries Quarterback Hudler as one of Beaumont's Royal Purple grabs him and won't let him go. Victoria's fighting STINGAREES scored twice in the first quarter and then couldn't muster another threat and fell to the Beaumont Royal Purple 28-14 in Patti Wfelder Stadium. Victoria's first touchdown came early in the first quarter when guard james Murphy covered a fumble on the Beaumont 43. Gary Teague scampered for 52 yards and Cublrmy Hudler scooted the last 11 for the score. Craig I-lyman's boot was good and the Stings led 7-O. Four downs later, Hudler ran a Beaumont punt all the way to the Purple 9 yard line. Arthur Cooley took a pitch-out and passed to Dennis Vickery in the end zone for the Stings' last score. Beaumont began to move late in the second period. End runs by short, but swift Cameron Harris, shot holes in the heralded Sting defensive wall. In the second half, with Victoria leading 14-8, Beaumont again started to go. The Royal Purple quickly made another touchdown. Later, Harris scooted 85 yards for another Purple Score. Beaumont made its last TD when they inter- cepted a STINGAREE desperation pass with 2 minutes remaining. The game ended with Beaumont ahead 28-14. The hungry Stingaree defensive gang tackles Cameron Harris, who dealt the Stingarees misery with his broken-field running and pass snatching. . s . ' F 1 3.
