The Fort Worth Stars were really out of their league.
The San Antonio Charros opened their American Football
Association season Saturday night by demolishing the Stars, 77-0, at Harlandale Stadium.
The Stars, who will probably will cease to exist before the next
AFA weekend rolls around, were outclassed in every category. And
just like Sitting Bull, the Charros took no prisoners.
If the defeat were not insulting enough, the fact that San
Antonio called time out with 11 seconds left in the game while
trying to score its 11th touchdown was.
The Charros
stopped the clock after fullback David Wehmeyer slashed eight
yards to the Star three as the final minute ticked off the
clock. The former Texas Lutheran All-American scored his fourth
touchdown of the night as time ran out as what remained of an
estimated crowd of 1,500 made its way to the exits.
|
|
San Antonio built a 28-0 lead before half the first quarter had
been played and led 49-0 at the half. The gap had widened,
63-0, after three quarters.
Fort Worth, which was outscored 99-0 in two exhibition games,
managed only three first downs and had its only offensive threat
nullified by the third Charro interception of the night. The
Charros also recovered six Fort Worth fumbles.
Charro Owner and Coach
Harry Lander said Fort Worth will be dropped from the league
because "they have not secured a stadium, have not paid their
league dues and have not secured medical insurance - they are
not quality enough for this league."
Wehmeyer ran for three touchdowns and caught a TD pass of 31
yards from quarterback Joe Goss for San Antonio, while Clarence
Alberts added scoring romps of 10, two, and 77 yards. |
|
Split end Tom Whittier caught two
touchdown passes, one for
five yard from Gross and a 20-yard halfback option pass from
Billy Bird. Chuck Gossett hit tight end Gary Shuler with a
16-yard touchdown less than one minute deep in the fourth
quarter.
Rich Lander kicked seven extra points and Mike Wendell added
three PATs for the Charros.
The Charros needed only 23 seconds to score, dictating the
tempo for the long night.
Forth Worth quarterback Randy Baldwin fumbled the initial
snap from center and Charro linebacker Grady Hoermann won a race
to the pigskin 13 yards behind the line of scrimmage at the Fort
Worth four.
Wehmeyer took a pitch and raced in for the touchdown on the
first play. |

| Oklahoma City
roars by Steelers, 38-6 in opener |

The Wichita Falls Steelers' new
offensive look ran into trouble Saturday night at Jaycee Park
and the defense didn't fare much better as the Oklahoma Warriors
pounded the Wichitans, 38-6 in an American Football Association
league opener.
The Steeler offense only managed 109 total yards, 61 on the
ground and 48 in the air, while the OK offensive machine rolled
up 471 yards, split evenly between the air and ground.
The Wichitans appeared to be on even terms with the Warriors
during the first quarter by holding them to two four point field
goals, but the sky fell on the Steeler defense in the second
period and the Sooner outfit rolled up 28 points.
It was hard to say who was the culprit that scuttled the
Steeler defense. Joh Eastep picked up 128 yards on 12 carries to
lead the Oklahoma ground game that racked up 236
|
|
yards and quarterbacks Mike
Jones and Prinson Poindexter shredded the WF secondary for 235
more yards.
Jones hit on 10 of 22 attempts for 136 yards and one
touchdown while Poindexter connected on five of nine attempts
for 99 more yards and two six pointers.
A blocked field goal and a missed played kickoff return hurt
the Steelers in the second quarter onslaught.
The muffed field goal attempt came when the Steelers had a
drive bog down and were set to try a 51-yard field goal. The
attempt was blocked and was recovered on the WF 33 by Lynn
Dunean for OK. Two pass plays later Jones found Joe Stanfield
winging for the end zone and connected on a 28-yard scoring
bomb. Craig Wiseman, who earlier had hit 32 and 37-yard field
goals, booted the extra point.
On the ensuing kickoff, which looked like a |
|
Texas League
singe, the Steelers let it roll the sidelines where it didn't
roll out of bounds and the Warriors claimed the ball on the WF
32.
On the next play, Jones hit Nathaniel Fowler on the Steeler
four where he was brought down. The next play, however, Eastep
rompted in for six more points and Wiseman kicked the second of
his four extra points.
The Warriors had one more shot at the scoreboard before the
half was over when they drove 90 yards in 14 plays. Poindexter
capped off the drive with a 17-yard aerial to Cecil Lee for a
touchdown.
The Steelers did manage some offense for the night when they
drove for their only score. Charles Hicks got the tally on a one
yard blast.
Oklahoma was shut down most of the second half due to three
pass interceptions. |

For Austin, the last defensive play of the game was the big one,
sending the Texans to a 31-28 win over Oklahoma Saturday night
in a meeting of American Football Association unbeatens.
With just 10 seconds left, Texan linebacker Cornell Reese
stepped in the path of a pass from beleaguererd Oklahoma
quarterback Mike Jones, intercepted it, and the Austin franchise
had the most significant victory in its brief history.
Reese's theft, Austin's fourth of the game, marked redemption of
a sort for the Texan defense - because the dazzling Jones, who
had led Oklahoma to a 31-3 record since 1974, rejuvenated the
Warriors from a 31-15 deficit in the last dozen minutes.
Jones had the Warriors at midfield, close to
|
|
five-point field goal range for kicker Craig Wiseman - but then
University of Texas ex Reese made his big play and Austin lifted
its AFA record to 2-0, tying for leadership with San Antonio, a
37-0 Saturday night winner over Wichita Falls.
Austin's offensive balance was possibly the key factor in the
victory. Mighty mite running back Leonard Brantley danced for
123 yards on 23 carries and quarterback Scooter Monzingo twice
brough the Texans from behind with touchdown passes.
The first, a 30-yard strike down the middle to tight end Thurman
Benford, put Austin ahead 12-7 early in the second period. A
41-yard sideline pattern to flanker Bruce Dickey with 56 seconds
left in the half gave the Texans the lead for good, at 19-15. |
|
A safety on the second-half kickoff, Billy Schott's third field
goal of the game and Brantley's one-yard slash off tackle
provided Austin that 31-15 lead as the third period ended.
But Jones, throwing to wide receiver
Nathaniel Fowler, who caught six passes for 102 yards and using
Jim Calip as a runner and receiver, engineered an 83-yard
scoring drive for one fourth-quarter touchdown, then Calip
capped a 29-yard push after an Austin fumble for the final
points, with 7:59 left in the game.
Oklahoma turnovers led to two
first-quarter field goals by Schott, but the Warriors hit twice
in the second period, with Calip scoring from the one after a
72-yard drive and fullback Johnny Eastep capping anouther
72-yard push on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Jones. |

If the Wichita Falls football team
complains of being struck by a horde of trucks, do not be
alarmed.
The fleet of Mack vehicles were in the form of fullback
David Wehmeyer, tight end Gary Shuler and a punishing defense as
San Antonio blanked the Steelers, 37-0, Saturday night at
Harlandale Stadium.
Wehmeyer scored three touchdowns and Shuler a pair as the
Charros won their second straight regular season game before an
audience of about 1,000.
All could not be roses for San Antonio for, if it mattered,
its string of consecutinve scoring quarters ended. San Antonio
had scored in each period (15) since its inception but failed to
in the fourth period against the Steelers.
However, the defense kept its string in tact by blanking
its third straight obstacle and running its streak to 12
quarters.
Wehmeyer scored on runs of two, 11 and 24 yards. Shuler
caught a 40-yard TD pass from quarterback Joe Gross and a
14-yard scoring |
|
aerial from Glen Penna.
Rich Lander kicked three conversions and Mike Wendell two.
The other Charro points came in the third period when linebacker
Grady Hoermann cracked running back Willie Houges in the
latter's end zone for a safety.
Hoermann, linebackers Bon Dunn and D. W. Rutledge, guard
Darrell Danklefs, tackle Rhiny Williams and end Robert Rickman
led San Antonio's brick wall that allowed the outclassed
Steelers eight first downs, 19 yards rusing and 22 yards
passing.
Wehmeyer and teammate Clarence Alberts did not have much
trouble, nor did Gross passing, behind a stout offensive line,
bouyed by center Bobby Sagebiel, guards David McLoed and Fred
Pointer and tackles Howard Sterns and Mike Parmer. Wehmeyer
finished with 95 yard in 18 carries and Alberts 90 on 12 trips.
Ironically, San Antonio appeared to be giving a lesson in
how not to score. The Charros blew quite a few opportunities to
balloon the scoreboard. |
|
For starters, in the second
quarter, the Charros were at the Steelers six but lost a fumble
to tackle James Ellis at their 22. Just before halftime, S.A.
was a the W.F. 26 but Marty Garrison recovered a fumble in the
end zone. Just moments later, with time running out, the Charros
found themselves at the Steeler one but also saw an interception
by James Reed in the end zone on the next play.
S.A.'s misfortune continued in the final two periods as
Robert Richie recovered at the Steeler eight, and John Shelton
had an interception at the Wichita Falls three.
Interceptions by Buddy Tomasi, Dudley Keller and Hoermann,
fumble recoveries by Mark Jones, Lawrence DeBose and Dunn and
excellent punt returns by Billy Byrd either set up touchdowns
and led to threats by the Charros.
The closest Wichita Falls came to scoring was when they
reaced the Charro 21 in the fouth period, but Sly Brown's
eventual field goal attempt was wide to the left. |

The San Antonio Charros moved toward a showdown with undefeated
Austin when they avenged their only loss of the season against
Oklahoma City Saturday night.
The Charros scored twice in the final
period to beat the Warriors, 28-21, to make amends for a 28-24
exhibition loss.
The victory gives the Charros a 3-0
American |
|
Football Association record.
The Austin Texans, who were idle Saturday night, are
2-0. The two teams tangle in the first of two scheduled meetings
July 30 in Pflugerville.
In the only other AFA game, Wichita Falls defeated
Houston, 21-8. Wichita Falls and Oklahoma City are now 1-2 in
league play and |
|
Houston 2-0.
The Charros pulled out the OC win when Billy Byrd took a 57-yard
touchdown pass from Joe Gross with just 1:33 left in the game.
Clarence Alberts, who led SA rushers with 166 yards on 16
carries, bolted 78 yard for a score earlier in the quarter to
pull the Charros within a point, 21-20. |

The few keepers of the faith saw their first real
professional football game of the season, Saturday night, as the
Wichita Falls Steelers defeated the Houston Seagulls 21-8 at
Jaycee Park.
The Steelers managed to run up more yards in their first
victory than they had in their last two defeats. Charles Hicks
led the attack with 90 yards on 15 carries but it was the
defense that really turned around.
If you remember, that defense had been riddled for 75
points by San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Bur against the
Seagulls, they even began to resemble the NFL with the same
name. Four interceptions and three fumble recoveries kept
Wichita Falls in control throughout. |
|
Lulanger Washington, the Steelers' third quarterback of the
season, swept 11 yards for the first score to complete a 48-yard
first quarter drive. The Steelers had recovered their second
onside kick of the game to begin in Houston territory.
Next, Danny Wagner recovered a Houston fumble on the
Seagulls' 1-yard line. On the next play, Hicks swept left and
found the Houston end zone. Dennis Brown added his second
successful conversion to run the Steelers' lead to 14-0
From then on, it was almost all defense. A third Wichita
Falls touchdown resulted from a Ray Robinson 27-yard
interception return, and the Steelers found themselves win an
unfamiliar 21-0 lead. |
|
Houston did manage to score with 29 seconds left in the
half on fullback Mickey Kuhn's option pass to Raymond McCann.
But that was all Houston fans had to cheer about.
The second half was scoreless and extremely physical.
Houston's only chance to get back in the game came late in the
third quarter. An apparent McCann touchdown was called back on a
flagrant personal foul by the Gull's Mike Tibbits. The center
was ejected from the game for his unsportsmanlike conduct. A
quarter later, his teammates followed him to the showers without
anything further to show for their efforts. |

The San Antonio Charros won their fifth straight game with a
43-6 romp over the Houston Seagulls Saturday night at San
Antonio Stadium.
The Charros are now 4-0 in the American Football
Association, while Houston is 0-3. The Charros had chalked up a
50-0 victory over the same team four weeks ago.
Fullback David Wehmeyer scored twice for the Charros, the
only man to do so. All the scoring came in the first half.
Wehmeyer counted on a two-yard burst in the quarter and a
three yard dash in the second stanza.
Running back Clarence Alberts ran two yards to get the
point parade underway and tight end Gary Shuler was on both the
receiving and pitching end of touchdowns.
Shuler caught a five-yard TD pass from quarterback Joe Gross
and capped the night's scoring by throwing to wide receiver
Billy Byrd on a 65-yard pass and run play.
San Antonio's other touchdown may have been its most
important, though.
The Charros scored the first three times they had the ball
to post a quick |
|
21-0 lead but Houston fought back for a period of 10 minutes
spanning the first and second quarters to cut the gap to 21-6.
The Gulls capitalized on a roughing the kicker penalty on
an attempted field goal and a pass interference call on the
Charros to put the ball at the San Antonio one.
From there, quarterback Jerry Reed threw to tight end
Freddy Brown for the touchdown with 1:49 left in the first.
Linebacker David Munden blocked the extra point attempt.
Midway through the second quarter Houston punted and David
Nichols of Texas Lutheran fielded the ball in the center of the
gridiron at his own 22, cut to the right and broke out of a
crowd at his own 40 to complete the 78-yard punt return to give
the Charros a 28-6 lead.
Nichols' dash changed the tone of the game and the Charros
safely pulled away again.
On Houston's next punt, Byrd returned it 35 yards to the
Seagull 13 to set up the touchdown, then Shuler threw his
surprise bomb.
Byrd caught the ball despite the defense at the Houston 28
and sprinted in with just 25 |
|
seconds left in the half.
Richie Lander kicked his fifth conversion of the night.
Lander also threw the two-point pass to Wehmeyer when the snap
was fumbled after the other Charro touchdown.
San Antonio marched 60, 54 and 17 yards to lead 21-0 with
4:41 still left in the opening quarter.
On the first drive, flander Tom Whittier took the ball away
from a defender for a 56-yard completion from Gross at the
Houston two.
Wehmeyer set up the second tally with a 48-yard gallop over
the left side to the Houston six, while a low snap on a punt
enabled San Antonio to take over at the Houston 17 preceding the
third score.
The Charro defensive line held Houston to minus 13 yards in
24 tries and sacked Reed three times, linebacker Bonn Dunn,
tackle Bobby Kotzer and end Robert Valdez doing the honors.
In addition, the Charros intercepted five passes, two each
by Mike Wendell and Dudley Keller and the other by veteran
Alfredo Avila on a tip by Munden. |

Texans top
Steelers, 17-12
Austin remains unbeaten; Charros
here next week |

Gamesmanship by Wichita Falls coach Mike Wyatt started the
christening - but Austin's unbeaten Texans helped name the
Impromptu Bowl in beating the Steelers 17-12 here Saturday night.
Now 5-0 on the season and tied at
3-0 with San Antonio for American Football Association
leadership, Austin secured some impromptu - and inspirational -
feats from its defense. But the Texans seldom had breathing room
because the Steelers struck with equal abruptness.
Wyatt's surreptitious move was to have injured quarterback
Robert Ritchie switch jerseys with backup field general Lulanger
Washington - and some strangely explosive things happened when
Ritchie warmed to his task.
Before then, however, Austin had done enough spontaneous
things to establish control - despite a sore arm on quarterback
Scooter Monzingo and a first-quarter leg injury which sidelined
breakaway runner Leonard Brantley.
Billy Schott toed a 50-yard field goal four |
|
minutes deep in the game - and the scoreboard hung on 5-0 for better than 30
minutes.
Then, early in the third quarter,
Austin linebacker Ken Burge blocked Dennis Brown's 50-yard field
goal effort. Defensive back Lester Ealey emerged from a wild
scramble at the sidelines and ran 60 yards for a touchdown,
lifting the count to 11-0.
Five minutes later, however, Ritchie, still identified to
the 3,000 onlookers as Washington, prepared to punt on a
fourth-and-14 situation. Instead, he dashed around the right
side, cut back in and outran the chagrined Texans on a 66-yard
touchdown play.
Austin safety John Holmes was the next defensive dazzler,
intercepting Ritchie's midfield pass and returning 15 yards to
the Wichita Falls 24 early in the fourth quarter. Fullback James
Nunn and running back Jerry Bettis then rammed for the distance
in six plays, with Bettis covering the final yard for a 17-6
margin with 11 minutes to play. |
|
Texan punter Bernie Sargent started the next impromptu
episode when, with six minutes to go, his kick was blocked by
Steeler end Danny Waggoner.
Wichita Falls set up at the nine, and Ritchie/Washington
swept left end on the first play for a touchdown. Linebacker
Cornell Reese, a defensive demon all night, blocked the extra
point attempt.
Schott was later wide right on a 57-yard field goal attempt
and the Texans finally succeeded in running out the final 2 1/2
minutes on the clock.
With Brantley injured after gaining 43 yards on four
carries, Nunn, with 59 yards on 16 carries, and Bettis, with 58
on 15, emerged as Austin's russhing leaders.
Ealey, Holmes, Burge, Charles Washington, Reese, Duane
Foster, Ray Mack and Willie Jenkins were some of Austin's
defensive standouts.
Austin's triumph set up a Saturday night game here against
San Antonio, a 43-6 winner over Houston, for AFA leadership. |

Texans' offense
falls short
Defense stars in 18-11 loss to
San Antonio |

Defense was dazzling on both sides - but Austin's unit had
to play far too long and the previously unbeaten Texans bowed to
San Antonio 18-11 before an overflow crowd of 5,000 here
Saturday night.
Three times the Texans hurled back Charro thrusts inside
the Austin 10 - but the American Football Association leaders'
defense held Austin to only one first down for the first 35
minutes of play.
By then, San Antonio, now 4-0 in league play and 6-1 on the
season, had set the theme of the game - and not even an Austin
scoring bomb early in the fourth quarter could change the
momentum.
Except for a 62-yard scoring pass from quaterback Scooter
Monzingo to flanker Bruce Dickey, the Austin offense was
shackled. And for their one first down in the early going the
Texans paid a huge price: breakaway running back Leonard
Brantley went to the hospital with a chest injury - later
diagnosed as a punctured lung and separated sternum - after
competing a 22-yard pass to Dickey.
Billy Schott put up a 30-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead
after Brantley's completion, but once San Antonio got the wind
to its back in the second quarter the Charros quickly moved 50 |
|
yards, within range for a 44-yard four-point field goal by Rich Lander.
On their next series, the Charros rolled 54 yards in five
plays, with a 33-yard pass interference penalty a big play.
Flanker Tom Whittier took a 12-yard touchdown pass from
quaterback Joe Gross and Lander converted for an 11-3 lead.
On its next two possessions, San Antonio reached the Austin
one and the Texan seven, only to be turned back by magnificent
defense headed by Ray Washington, Duane Foster, Cornell Reese,
David Terrazas, Ray Mack, Billy Pointer and John Holmes, to name
some of the overworked operatives.
Austin's offense slumbered on through the third quarter,
moving the first down chain twice by penalties - and San Antonio
finally came alive offensively to move 70 yards in seven plays
late in the period.
Fullback David Wehmeyer, who finished the night with 124
yards rushing, 105 in the second half, and Manor product
Clarence Alberts keyed the drive to midfield. Then Gross,
ejected late in the game along with Austin defender Lester
Ealey, hit tight end Gary Shuler for 18 yards and found Whittier
down the left sideline on a 29-yard scoring strike. Lander
lifted the score to |
|
18-3 with 1:35 left in the third.
Austin, which had fumbled away a scoring chance from the
San Antonio one midway of the third, struck on its first play of
the final period. Monzingo found Dickey in a vacuum down the
right sideline and the Texas Lutheran College ex, outran former
teammate Steve Sanders over the final 40 yards for the 62-yard
score. Pat Padgett jumped up from the holder's position to throw
a two-point conversion pass to tight end Thurman Benford with
13:34 to go.
But Austin's defense never made an encore. San Antonio
drove from its 34 to the Austin one before Gross fumbled away
the ball to Washington and 39 yards to the Austin seven before
Reese blocked Lander's 34-yard field goal try.
The Texans' last hope died on the next play. Charro
cornerback J. V. Stokes intercepted Monzingo's pass at the
Austin 25 and San Antonio ran out the clock, owning a first down
at the Texan one as the game ended.
Fullback James Nunn keyed what Austin gorund game there
was, rushing for 27 yards on 11 carries in a brusing game, which
also saw San Antonio center Bobby Sagebiel taken to the hospital
with a first half neck injury. Alberts had 18 carries for 85
yarrds for San Antoino. |

"Old reliables" figured in strangulation defense, but some
offensive "new faces" figured in scoring as the Austin Texans
shot down the Houston Seagulls 34-6 in American Football
Association play here Saturday Night.
Now 6-1 on the season and 4-1 in AFA play, one half game
behind 4-0 San Antonio, the Texans ran up a 9-0 lead in the
first seven minutes of combat and 0-7 Houston never crossed the
Texan 20 on offense until midway of the third quarter.
Houston's first threat netted a first-and-goal from the two
at that juncture, but Austin, keyed by such performers as Duane
Foster, Ray Mack, David Terrazas, Cornell Reese, Al Mayes, John
Holmes and Billy Pointer, took over on downs at the five.
From there, quarterback Scooter Monzingo guided the Texans
95 yards to a touchdown, throwing 13 yards to split end Jim
Hines on the |
|
first play of the fourth quarter. The score was the 100-meter
dash world-record holder's first in Austin uniform.
After Pat Padgett passed to tight end Thurman Benford for a
two-point conversion, lifting the count to 27-0, Monzingo was
taken out of the lineup for the first time this season - and
midway of the final period backup quarterback John McPherson
threw a 15-yard pass to tight end Larry Carter, the first time
either had figured in a touchdown.
Houston had closed to 27-6 when backup quarterback Danny
Tipton, replacing starter Claude Reed, directed a 68-yard drive.
Flanker John Dirden caught passes for 25 and 19 yards in the
push and Tipton's two-yard rollout brought the score.
The loss handwriting was already up for the Gulls, however
- and they suffered anouther loss when star linebacker Anthony
Stephens |
|
was taken to the hospital with a neck injury sustained late in
the game.
Monzingo's 15-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Dickey capped a
54-yard march for Austin's first touchdown and the Texans picked
up a safety on the first play after the kickoff when Pointer
tackled running back Monroe Woods in the end zone.
Fullback James Nunn, who led all rushers with 119 yards on
21 carries, ended a 55-yard drive late in the first quarter by
ramming nine yards up the middle for another score. Bill Schott
kicked the conversion and sent through a 26-yard field goal for
the other Texan points late in the second period.
Saturday's victory closed the tenures of Texan head coach
Jim Davis and defensive coordinator Ray Jackson. Their contracts
as assistants at LBJ go into effect Monday. |

The Oklahoma City Warriors advanced 79 yards on their
opening drive - capped by Johnny Eastep's four-yard touchdown
run - then put together two more long scoring marches and went
on to defeat the Wichita Falls Steelers 29-0 in an American
Football Association contest before 1,200 fans at South Side
Stadium Saturday night. |
|
Eastep scampered 37 yards for the Warriors second touchdown
in the opening period, and Oklahoma City led 13-0 at the half.
Archie White scored the only TD in the third quarter on a
12-yard run, and Mike Jones gathered in James Thatcher's 34 yard
scoring strike in the fourth quarter for the Warriors.
Oklahoma City (3-2) picked up its final |
|
points of the evening when Steelers' Robert Richie downed the
football in the end zone to avoid a blocked punt.
Wichita Falls falls to 1-4, and will play the San Antonio
Charros at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Boys' Club Athletic Complex
at Jaycee Park. |

Austin Texans
at
Oklahoma Warriors
August 13, 1977

Oklahoma City, 23-2 |

Their offensive counterparts slumbered, the Austin Texans'
defense couldn't do it all and the Oklahoma Warriors stormed to
a 23-2 American Football Association victory here Saturday
night.
With the Texan offense totally ineffective all night long,
the Warrior offense had opportunities aplenty - and a running
game headed by Mike Eastep, Jim Calip and ex-New York Giant
George Palmer, coupled with Mike Jones' passes to Nathaniel
Fowler were more than enough for the triumph.
Oklahoma pulled into a tie with Austin for second place in
the AFA standings (both clubs are 4-2, behind 5-0 San Antonio, a
26-9 winner over Wichita Falls).
Despite excellent early field position, the |
|
Warriors surrendered a safety in the second quarter when a punt
snap to Craig Wiseman went out of the Oklahoma end zone.
Less than three minutes later, though, Oklahoma went ahead
for keeps when Calip capped a three-play 39-yard drive by
scoring from the seven. A pass interception set up the march.
Only two and a half minutes later, Oklahoma was back at the
pay window, following a blocked Austin punt. Jones steered the
winners 29 yards in three plays, rolling right for the final
nine and the touchdown.
Midway of the third quarter, Texan quarterback Scooter
Monzingo was tackled in his end zone for a safety on a pass
attempt.
Then, after Austin had held inside its 10 for |
|
the second time in the contest, Jones triggered an 80-yard drive
midway of the fourth quarter, sending Palmer up the middle for
the final five and the touchdown. Wiseman's conversion kick
brought the final margin with 5:46 to play.
Austin lodged only one serious threat, but lost the ball on
downs at the Warrior 20 in the fourth quarter.
Fights and penalties marred the contest from start to
finish. The manpower-thin Texans lost a pass receiving threat
when split receiver Bruce Dickey suffered a concussion.
Six players who had figured in Austin's 6-1 season record
did not make the trip here because of work commitments and
several other Texans were slowed with injuries. |

'passes' by Steelers, 26-9 |

Experience finally overcame desire Saturday night as the
San Antonio Charros defeated the Wichita Falls Steelers 26-9 at
the Boys Club Athletic Complex at Jacee Park in an American
Football Association game.
Despite the final score, the Steelers scared the Charros
before their own mistakes cost them a chance at the upset.
"They are a far better team than we played in San Antonio,"
Charros coach George Pasterchick said. "They're young and
enthusiastic." |
|
That enthusiasm could have inspired the Steelers to a lead
in the first half.
Wichita Falls had five opportunities from inside the 35.
But two fumbles and two missed field goals later, the Steelers
still trailed 14-3.
Then, midway through the third period, Tom Whitter caught
his third touchdown pass of the night to make it 20-3.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Charros snatched an onside kick
and stole Wichita Falls' last chance at an upset.
|
|
The Steelers' quarterback, cornerback and the conference's
leading kickoff returner, Robert Richie, had a brilliant game.
His two interceptions choked off first-half San Antonio drives,
and his runbacks electrified the small crowd of Wichitans.
But unfortunately, Richie's passing wasn't quite up to his
defensive and special team performances. Able to connect on only
three of 14 passes, Richie was unable to spark the Steeler
offense. |
