Byron Townsend, ex-Odessa flash and mow star of the Texas Shorthorns, said in an interview after ihe Fish-Little Steers battle that "We lost here today but will Ret rpvenge Steers battle that “We lost here today but will get revenge next Thursday in Austin.” The fleet fullback when asked what he thought of the Fish line remarked *fpretty good.” Townsend, who was offered a«- football scholarship to almost ev ery major college in the country, said that ne “loves” it in Austin and plans to finish out his foot ball career at the University and lenge to Southwest Conference su- own nine-yard line. Townsend, last yeaFs most pub licized schoolboy back, who will triple-threat the Longhorn’s chal- then take a cradti at the pro cir cuit. U y The ex-Odessa all-stater led his team to a state championship in '46 and again to the semi-finals the following year where it was defeated by an unfavored Highland Park eleven. ■ j Townsend, who played a good offensive game, as well as a great defensive game for the Shorthorns, didn’t seem too im pressed with the Fish eleven, but willingly admitted that he play ed against a pretty good squad. The conceited Teasipper, who made a total of 83 yards in thir teen tries, averaging 6V4 yards per try, said that he just couldn’t seem to get started against the Farmers. The fleet gridiron star led >his teammates down to the Aggie goal hut bad breaks broke up the drive when Sam‘Moses , re. premacy next and stands an On the other is Glenn Lipprai star was kept Obt o: ear,! weighs ! 184 en six feet. ‘ ide of the fence The Aggie Fish nost off 1 most 6ft the cause of an action in the fray ankle injury suffered in practice.
