KEEPING TRACKOF THE BEARCATSLast week we stated that the Bearcats had played a ‘hot and cold’ brand of ball this season. Friday night they were definitely ‘hot’; the entire team seemed to catch on fire as they pulverized the Bells Panthers 53-0 .As the teaim is coming down the home stretch.they are displaying a terrific burst of speed tofinish a fast third and salvage an factory season, finally got up to and thrilled the nice broken field fense, Murphyin conference play otherwise unsatis-Tommy Murphy form Friday nightcrowd with some running.

It would be hard to single out any individual on the team that was spectacular, as the entire team did credit to themselves and their coach.

Tommy Murphy is a close third with 24 points. Next in order is Chesley Thomas with 12, and Deckard, Bibbs and Pearce all have 6 points.Tomorrow Whitewright takes on Van Alstyne to determine who will represent District 15-B against Cooper in bi-district play the following weekend. Van Alstyne, who who was not given much chance at the beginning of the season, is now drawing considerable favor from many fans to upset Whitewright. Their decisive victory over Pilot Point, 66-0, two weeks ago is another strong point in their favor. On paper the Tigers have by far the more impressive record and figure to be two to three touchdowns better than the Panthers, but for some reason in a grudge game between two old time rivals such as Van and Whitewright, the underdog team doesn’t have much respect for past records. Since Whitewright has rolled up some pretty convincing scores against some rather good teams, including a 40-6 defeat they hung on Honey Groves, who won the championship of district 13-A, we hardly see how the Panthers stand too much of a chance. About the only way we could concede Van a chance to win would be with Whitesboro’s Teddy Dutton in their backfield. But we think the gamewill be fairly close and will be wellworth anybody’s price of admission.George Burrows, the junior right j end, is the Bearcats’ high scoring man, snagging five touchdown passes to give him a total of 30 ]oints. Teddy Dutton is next with 26 points; he made three touchdowns and kicked 8 extra points.
