Description

The High School Football State Championship game is being held at Farrington Field in Fort Worth, Texas. A crowd of 18,000 are on hand to witness the battle between the Wichita Falls Coyotes (solid jerseys) and the Temple Wildcats. In the fourth quarter of the game, Coyote fullback Charley Hair (7) charged hard for a one-yard touchdown. Though the bullet-like runner appears to be diving, he kept his feet all the way and made it into the end zone standing. The score gave the Coyotes a 13-0 lead. On the play, Robbie Dee Smith (5) applied a body block. In pursuit for the Wildcats was Marshall (64). Wichita Fall went on to win the game and the State Title. Five players on the field in this action shot. "(Star-Telegram Photo by Tommy Dillard.)" Published Star-Telegram Morn. Dec. 28, 1941.
