contest, a happy, but
somewhat concerned, Tiger mentor
Dale Norris commented on the Lions'
plan. "It was a gamble on their part,
giving us the pass, but they did step our
running game. They have such a super-
quick defensive front, with an ex-
ceptional nose guard (Donald Jones)
and a fine linebacker (Ran Jones).
"Thank goodness for an arm," Norris
concluded.
While the Tiger offense was sput-
tering on the ground and thriving
through the friendly skies, the Malakoff
was back on the top of their game,
holding the Lions to two yards rushing
and 35 passing. Tarver's passing
yardage combined with back up Todd
Shelton's enabled the Tigers to a 192-37
total yards advantage. The Tigers also
won the first down battle, seven-five.
The Tigers and Lions settled into
their "a punt for a punt and a fumble
for a fumble" routine in the opening
minutes. Before the first quarter
became history, a slim Lion Stadium
crowd bad "seen six punts and two
fumbles. The abrupt number of
possession changes was a result of
tenacious defense play by both units.
Kyle Kilman, Tom Byers, Ran Speed,
Elmer Reed, Billy Whiteley and Ran
Denis led Malakoff's defensive charge,
while the Jones duo, Hubert Busby,
Derek Lancaster and Albert Randal
were Teague's top defensive bands in
the early going.

This disappointing setback in the first
quarter set the tone for the rest of the
game as the Bulldogs chewed up the
Bobcats, 33-0.
Floyd did manage to lead the Bobcats
in 69 yards worth of rushes that weren't
called back. His teammate Fred
Winston was a close second with 59
yards, according to statistician Jerry
Logan.

Speed set up the Tigers' first score
with 7:23 left in the half when he
recovered a Lion fumble on the Teague
14. Three plays later Tarver lofted a
skyscraping aerial from the nine to big
John McCain. The 6-foot-4 tight end
hauled in the Tarver pass nine yards
deep in the end zone to put the Tigers on
top with 5:57 to go in the half. Gary
Cockerman blocked the PAT to leave
the Tigers in front 6-0.
The Tigers were recpients of another
Teague fumble on the ensuing kick-off
when Joe Davis pounced on a Lloyd
Knight bobble in the Teague 37.
Following two short rushing attempts
by Scott Clendenning and Whiteley,
Clint Clements made a beautiful diving
catch of a Tarver pass on the Lions'
nine-yard stripe.
Three unsuccessful running plays
forced the Tigers into a fourth and goal
situation from the seven. Tarver baf-
fled the Teague defense, throwing
across the field to Clendenning in the
corner of the end zone. Clements was
true with the PAT to give the Tigers a
13-0 lead at the half.
The Lions provided the second half's
only serious scoring threat midway
through the third period. Following a
short 17-yard Vic Kirkland punt from
the Tiger 14, the Lions began on the
visitors' 31. Quarterback Glenn Price
tossed a 17-yard strike to Donald Jones
to move the Lions to the 14. Ran Jones
Floyd also highlighted Bobcat
defensive action with a total of 10
tackles and assists. Jimmy Stripling
pulled down eight, and Jeff Tunnell,
seven, according to co-statistician
Robert Stripling.
The loss drops Cross Roads' record to
I-7.
Iola first scored with 7:41 left in the
first quarter on a 30-yard run by Marc
Brown. A two-point conversion attempt
was good for an 8-0 initial lead.
Next, with 1:39 left, Dewayne
Pavelock tossed a screen pass to Scotty
McKinney for another touchdown play,
followed by a good PAT which brought
the score to 17-0.
Second quarter action was limited to
an lola field goal which tossed in three
points for good measure to expand the
lead to 20-0.
Iola kept the pace going in the third
quarter with a touchdown pass received
by Mark Thornton with 4:03 left.

swept right end for I0 additional yards
to give Teague a first and goal from the
four.
Denis, Speed and Whiteley held Jones
to a no gainer on the following play.
Jones tried the right end sweep on
second down only lose possession into
the waiting arms of Whiteley. The
Tigers took over with 3:49 left in the
third period.
Remaining action was nothing more
than punt-punt, fumble-fumble as both
units' defenses dominated. The Tigers
sprinkled in a few medium range
passes to keep the chilled, but dozing,
crowd from slipping into total sleep.
The Tigers continue their hunt for
18AAA supremacy this week as they
journey to Palestine to take on the
Westwood Panthers. In other family
warfare, Teague entertains Crockett
and Rusk hosts Fairfield. All games get
underway at 7:30 p.m.

East Texas State University basket-
ball coach Susie Knause describes her
1981-82 Lady Lions as "the smartest"
group she has coached in a period of
time.
"Before, I had to spend most of the
season trying to get the team to learn
the plays," Knause said. "At the
present time, we are playing and
executing well."
Knause is relying on returnees
Charlita Smith (5-9, Sr., Alvarado) and
Rachael Tucker (5-10, Soph., College
Station-A&M Consolidated) to lead the
team.

and then Floyd got his turn until a
Bulldog's hand apparently became
imbedded in his face mask and the drag
resistance wore down his running
ability.
Fourth quarter action started with
Steve Cowan squashing Pavelock into
the ground, thwarting a running play.
Naught did that do, as the Bulldog came
back to life to prance to a touchdown
with 9:32 left. A good PAT brought the
score to 33-0.
Cain attempted two unsuccessful
passes to Myron Green as the game
wound down. Both times the ball
seemed to soar through the air with the
greatest of ease. Tougher, however,
were the landings.
Cross Roads next travels to Scurry-
Rosser for a 7:30 p.m. game on Oct. 30.
