Brown, Matthiesen Shine For Locals As Musteen Paces Foes
By Wilbur Martin
Robert Brown, the Texas Silents' two-time All-American Deaf School back, sparked his mates to a 13-0 victory over the Arkansas School for Deaf Saturday night on the House Park gridiron.
Striking late in the first quarter, the Silents started their touchdown drive when Matthiesen went 31 yards around his left end down to the Arkansas 10-yard line. Brown took the ball over on a plunge through right tackle. The try for extra point failed.
Larren Musteen, Arkansas Deaf School All-America back, kept his team a constant threat with his fine running and quick-kicks.
In the second quarter Arkansas began a march toward the Silents' goal, but lost the ball on downs.
Matthiessen again set the stage for the Silents' second touchdown. This time he took the ball on a 39-yard jaunt to the Arkansas 26-yard line. Brown picked up 26 yard on the next play, and with the ball on the one-yard line, plunged over for the score. Matthiesen went over for the extra point.
From her on out it was Musteen for Arkansas against Brown of the Silents. The Arkansas back started a drive toward the Silents' goal but fumbles kept him from going farther than the Silents' 43-yard line.
The Silents, late in the fourth quarter, marched down the field but penalties set them back time after time. With two minutes left to play in the game, the Silents were again on their way for a score, the final gun sounding just as the Silents had the ball on the Arkansas 10-yard line.
