VVaco, however, prov- ed itself no close second, but a strong first by beating the vaunted Navarro County aggregation on its home lot by the de- cisive score of 27 to 7.

This, however, didn't end the threat, for Bowen returned the kick out to the Corsicana I3 on a beautiful run. ln four plays the Tigers scored. Then, late in the period, VVaco got the ball on the Corsi ZQ and drove on a succession straight to a touch- down, with Bowen and Pulattie galloping Pulaftic skirts H1'friv11r'i1lgc right mul.
