Tommy Love then went in
to action. He scored almost
single handed from his own
48 yard line on 7 runs.
Danny Bridges returned
the final Sylva-Webster kick
off to the 35 yard line.
Jimmy Turner carried first
for 6 yards, then Luckadoo
gained the first down. The
Warhorses gained to the 45
before losing possession of
the ball. The Eagles ground
ed the ball as much as possi
ble to kill time, but soon lost
the pigskin to the fine Owen
defense on the Owen 34. With
only 45 seconds left in the
ball game, Owen strained
with all it had to score and
top the Eagle’s 12 points. They
came within a hair’s breadth
of doing it.
On the fourth down, Jim
Coman passed to his number
1 halfback, Danny Bridges.
Bridges dodged tacklers left
and right running down near
the sideline. Due to the pre
sence of one tackier being in
a key position for the Eagles
Bridges was downed on the
20 yard line with an open
field remaining before him.
This writer, as well as other
Owen fans, feels that this
year's Warhorses team is the
finest we have been privileged
to support.

In Community
Parade magazine, Sunday
newspaper supplement, recent
ly came out with an article
about the cruel and unscrup
ulous activities of animal deal
ers and on the heels of this
writing come an excerpt of
the Congressional Record
which quotes the aforemen
tioned article.
The material calls atten
tion to animal lovers of the
thieves now present in vary
ing numbers (depending on
locale) who rustle dogs and
cats from their homes, steal
ing them for sale to hospitals
and research institutions. In
so doing they are bringing
heartbreak to children and
elderly and lonely people as
well. These smugglers are
also guilty of callous cruelty
to these animals.

long recognized here for their
