KICK-OFF CARRIED FOR TOUCHDOWN IN FOUR SCHOOL GAMES

Spectacular Playing Features Week's High School Football

Austin, Tex. Oct. 30 - Spectacular plays were numerous in high school football this week, as reported to Roy Henderson of the University Interscholastic League Bureau. In four different games a touchdown was made from the kickoff, Rhome of Cleburne in the game with Meridian, Alred of Beaumont in the Sour Lake contest, Lipscomb of Ennis in the game with Corsicana State Orphan's Home, and Waddell on the Eagle Lake team against Yoakum all starring in this manner. Many remarkable long end runs were also made, resulting in touchdowns, notable ones being Williams' dashes in the San Antonio game between Brackenridge high and Peacock College, and those of Cade of Dallas Bryan high and Self of DeLeon. In the Austin - Houston battle, Prater's kicking of the water-soaked, mud-covered ball was sensational in the extreme and kept the play constantly in Houston's territory.

Of the more than two hundred teams represented in the bureau, only twelve that have played two or more games, have kept their goal lines uncrossed. They are: Bryan, Haskell, Childress, Comanche, Georgetown, Honey Grove, Austin, Belton, El Paso, Galveston, Mercedes and Wichita Falls. Three other teams have this record, but they have participated in only one game - Brownsville, Mason and Van Alstyne.

There were 70 games reported this week and the fact that there were only two accidents shows that the teams are as a whole, properly equipped in the matter of pads and protections. One Harrisburg player had his collar-bone broken and Herry of LaGrange suffered a fractured hip.
