Show Y Gridders Play Fort Hood Sat. In Fieldhouse Benefit Game The Tankers from Fort Hood, Texas, will face their hardest opponent of the 1950 season Saturday when they play Brigham Young University at Provo in a Fieldhouse benefit contest. i Kickoff will be at 1:30. All funds will go to the new building. For many on the Hood squad it will be homecoming day, but instead in-stead of the blue and white colors ' of BYU, they will don the green and white. of the Tankers. Tickets for the game can be obtained from one of the following fol-lowing civic grup heads: Henry Weight, J. A. Miller, Paul Haymond, Stan Roberts, H. LaMar Weight, Carlos Hjorth, Johnny Bleggi, or ticket chairmen Bliss Hoover or Paul Thorn. In the season opener, the Tankers Tank-ers smothered the Bergstrom Air Base Thunder Jets, 76-6, with David Da-vid Chadwick and Elmo Roundy scoring four touchdowns each, the latter adding ten conversion points to. the slaughter. Game number two saw the Tanks come from behind to down the highly polished Brooke Army Medical Center Comets, 20-19. Roundy's educated toe proved to be the margin of victory for Hood. Brooke came back to win 25-21 over Hood in a return game played just three days later. The Tankers lack of depth in just about every position, plus injuries suffered in the previous contest, was the deciding de-ciding factor in the loss. The Tankers roared back in their next game, blasting the Barksdale Air Base Skyraiders, 26-0, with Chadwick going over for two six-pointers six-pointers and repeatedly ripping through Barksdale's line for huge gains. In Hood's last contest to date, Camp Polk's powerful Thunder-birds Thunder-birds downed the Tanks, 27-13. Hood's 'ground attack suffered-' a setback when Chadwick was hurt on the second play of the game and was forced to sit it out on the bench. It will be a Cinderella finish to the story if the Tankers should down the Brigham Young squad in their coming game. Whatever the outcome. Eddie Kimball will probably still be moaning his loss and hoping for- better days to come. |
