By FRANK SIMMSH, JR.
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.

licized schoolboy back, who will

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

There wore some somber notea
in the background however. The

at the end of the game. <He was

Speaking of Injuries, the loss of

possession of the ball on their own
one.
Dennard kicked out of danger
and the half ended three plays
later. The end of the half was ac
tually the end of the game for the
Tigers, as they never seriously
threatened again.
The last two Panther scores
came in the third and fourth
frames, the first coming early in
the third on a 60 yard drive, with
Dennard diving two yards tor the
marker. The last six points came
when Dennard racked up his third
T.D. of the game from one foot
out.
