Description

A high school football game between the Polytechnic Parrots and the Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets (white jerseys) is being held at Farrington Field in Fort Worth, Texas. Early in the game Parrot end James Jones (66) caught a pitch from the quarterback. He ran twenty-three yards until two Yellow Jackets wrapped him in a tackle at the thirty-six yard line. The referee is standing close to the action, determining whether Jones' knee is down. Poly went on to win the game 26-6. A scrum of young men in front of a referee.
