Centenary downs Arizona, 18 to 13

FINAL WILDCATS DRIVE ENDS OF a WITH LAST GUN Ball Pushed to Two-Yard Stripe With Winning Score Looming JACKSON IS LEADER Scoring Run Full Length Of Field Is Made by Gentlemen By VIC THORNTON Their last - minute touchdown drive halted on Centenary's two-yard line by, the final gun, Arizona's Wildcats bowed to the Gentlemen of Louisiana, 18-13, in an actioncrammed intersectional game before 9,500 fans, the largest crowd ever to attend a local sports spectacle, under the arc lights at Varsity stadium last night. Anticipating victory, the throng cheered wildly as Arizona's gallant gridiron warriors launched a last mad drive that carried the ball to the very shadows of Centenary's goalposts. The gun, signaling the end of the contest, was an anticlimax that dashed the Cats' high hopes as victory was within their grasp. Near Riot Halted As the contest ended, players of both teams, apparently struggling for possession of the ball, milled around in a mix-up. Reserves from the benches of both dashed out on the field, spectators from the east side bleachers and the "Knot Hole" gang swarmed out over the field, adding to the excitement. The belligerents were parted, quieted, marched off the field and another chapter was added to Arizona football history. It was from their own 45-yard stripe that the Cats opened up with a sparkling drive in the final three minutes of play. Feriss Hardin, a 150-speedster, replaced George Jackson at right half and on the first play dashed around left end for 11 yards and a first down. Bronko Smilanich rifled an 18-yard pass to Erdhaus, who was downed on the Gents' 28-yard line. Smilanich broke through right tackle for nine more and the southerners drew their first penalty of the game, a 15-yard one unnecessary roughness, which placed the ball on their own four- yard marker. Final Whistle Clarence Ross failed to gain at center, but on the next play Hardin sabered off left guard for two yards. The final whistle, ending the game, was blown before Arizona could go into its huddle. It was disappointing to the Cats, but the capacity crowd filed out of the stadium convinced they had seen their money's worth. It was a fast-moving, fast-scoring game that skyrocketed the fans' enthusiasm to fever heat and held theme first breathless quarter throughout, ended in a scoreless draw, with neither side showing much in the way of offense, although Arizona did twice put the Gents "in the hole" with well-timed, quick kicks. Wildcats Score Midway in the second stanza the fireworks were set off by the Wildcats. Taking the ball on their own 36- yard stripe the Cats moved up to the two-yard line on a pair of wellexecuted maneuvers that dumfounded the Gents. A pass from Smilanich to Jackson in the end zone netted the first touchdown. Walter Nielsen's attempted try for place(Continued to Page 11, Column 8)
