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 and the Temple Wildcats. In the second quarter of the contest, Coyote quarter back Gene Hill threw a pass to Robbie Dee Smith (5). The speedy back is shown catching the ball against his shoulder pads for a touchdown. It went for the first score of the game. Wichita Falls never relinquished the lead, and went on to win the State Title by a score of 13-0. There are five players in view, plus a bystander who appears to be writing (in a dark outfit and a hat) and a photographer with a large handheld camera. They're both in front of the pipe goalpost.
