The East Texas State Normal squad went down in defeat at the City Park Friday afternoon by the score of six to three. Dallas University was fortunate enough to have "Old Man Luck" with her so she came out on the long end. Far be it from us to reflect in any way on the brand of ball put up by the Catholics because they played well at all times.

In the first quarter Dallas just simply outplayed the local eleven and there is no mincing words about it. East Texas had an edge in the second, it was an even break in the third and Dallas U. outplayed us in the fourth, along with luck as an added assistant. If East Texas Normal had played the brand of ball that they are perfectly capable of playing, we should have won with comparative ease, but they didn't.

The touchdown that Dallas made can be credited to three things: A low pass by the E.T. center, slow work by Fluhardy in punting and poor generalship on the play. The ball was on East Texas' twelve yard line in East Texas' possession, first down, ten. Breckenridge called for a punt, which looked like poor judgement in view of the fact that E.T. was leading by three points. Center passed the ball low and Fluhardy was a bit slow in getting it away. The ball was blocked, falling behind the goal by Dallas U. right tackle.

No prettier drop kick has ever been seen here or anywhere else than that forty yard one made by Bill Acker in the second quarter. It was perfectly executed and in doing this Acker made good his reputation, once, last and for all, that he is a master in this art. The ball actually traveled about forty-seven yards, going fully seven yards over the goal. DeFord, E.T. left end, caust a difficult fort yard pass near the close of the second quarter. This was the best thing seen here this season in the passing line. This man is a football player that any team might well be proud of because he is always in the game for all he is worth. Jerry Workman caught a pretty pass by Green that netted thirty yards in the third quarter. This pass came at a time when it was badly needed. John Blevins showed his old form in the game as was evidenced by the many and furious tackles he made. Time after time this man broke through the Dallas line and downed his man for loss.

For Dallas University, Kirkguard was easily the star. This man had an odd way of literally sifting through the East Texas line for long and repeated gains. It seemed that for some unaccountable reason the Normalites just could not stop him. In the third quarter this man made it first down, ten, two successive times on only two plays, and always when a yard or two was needed it was he who delivered the goods. It wes he who kept E.T. from making a touchdown when they had the ball on Dallas' five yard line. He tackled Fluhardy as he started over the left end for what looked like a touchdown. The whistle blew, ending the first half with the ball on Dallas U.'s four yard line. In the first half E.T. made eight first downs and Dallas made nine. E.T. was penalized twenty0five yards and Dallas five. In the last half E.T. made nine first-downs and Dallas U. made fourteen. E.T. drew a fifteen yard penalty in this half. The game ended with the ball on E.T.'s twelve yard line in Dallas U.'s possession.
