MORE DAYS IN AMERICAN HISTORY WITH CORRESPONDING WITH ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES:

The modern version of tennis is credited to a Welsh major named Walter Clopton Wingfield, who patented the game in 1874. Tennis collectors seek Wimbledon advertising matches, sports posters, Spalding tennis balls, Grand Slam, vintage tennis rackets, metal or cardboard tennis -ball cans, player autographed photographs, trading cards and magazine covers.

SEPTEMBER 1, 1859. George Pullman’s first sleeping car, a remodeled coach with 10 beds, 2 washrooms, plush upholstery, candle lighting, and heat stoves makes its first railroad run between Bloomington and Chicago, Illinois. Lanterns, tickets, menus, china and silverware, locks and keys, signs, postcards, Fred Harvey materials, and model trains are just a few of the hunted items by railroadiana aficionados.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1945. Japan surrenders formally on the battleship Missouri ending World War II. Uniforms, buttons, lapel pins, medals, guns and bayonets, postcards and letters, photographs, ration books and stamps, Nazi and German memorabilia, books, and anything else associated with the war are all sought after by collectors.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1833. The New York Sun is the first mass-circulation daily newspaper. Newspapers with famous event headlines are coveted and saved. Some of the top desirable headlines are: When the Chicago Tribune got it wrong: Dewey Defeats Truman; the deaths of Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana; Man on the Moon; Hiroshima and Nagasaki Bombed; Pearl Harbor Bombed; Kennedy Shot!; OJ Not Guilty; Mr. President Barack Obama; King of Pop Dead (same headline used for both Elvis and Michael Jackson); Titanic Sinks!

SEPTEMBER 4, 1888. George Eastman of Rochester, NY, receives a patent for the first Kodak camera. One of the most popular items at estates sales is old camera equipment, film, and old photographs.

SEPTEMBER 6, 1901. President William McKinley is fatally shot while attending the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo by a deranged anarchist.

The Bulldogs entered the dressing room to lick their wounds and turn things around, but Callisburg took the ball first and drove five plays and 65 yards that ended on a 37-yard Joseph Serna score to extend the Wildcat lead to 35-2 with 8:51 remaining in the third.

Howe’s only touchdown came on the next possession with Haley rolled out of the pocket to the right side and found a streaking Thornton across the middle. The 8-yard dump pass turned into a 70 -yard touchdown pass as Thornton used his speed and slicing moves to manipulate his way to the endzone. Howe’s score made it 35-8 after the failed point -after attempt by Kevin Flores.

Callisburg ended Howe’s celebration quickly as it took them only three plays to find the endzone when halfback Carl Moore used his speed and elusiveness for a 33 -yard score to end a 72-yard drive. Callisburg led 41-8 with 6:51 left in the third.

After yet another Howe punt, Callisburg went into clock chewing mode and ran 11 plays killing the third quarter clock and scoring on a 4-yard touchdown by Serna to end the 58-yard drive. The score bumped up to 48-8 with 11:16 left to go in the game.

The fourth quarter was all about getting out of the game without suffering injuries. Both teams went very conservative to eat up as much of the clock as they possibly could.

Howe was led in rushing by Matt Hayes who carried five times for 31 yards—all in the fourth quarter. Carson Daniels carried four times for 23 yards. Jalen Thornton, who had over 1,000 yards rushing a year ago, only had three carries and gained three yards. Dylan Hughs had two carries for six yards, and Haley had 11 carries for (-19) yards which included eight sacks. corps with 1 reception for 70 yards and a touchdown. Kolby Taylor had two catches for 29 yards, Ethan Lopez had a catch for 10 yards and Cooper Jones had a catch for one yard.

Callisburg had five different ballcarriers go over 60 yards. Backup quarterback Colton Montgomery had eight carries for 70 yards and Moore had five carries for 70 yards to lead the Wildcats. Others were Pollard (8-62), Flanagan (3-60), Serna (6-60), Howe (158), and Kirk (7-23).

Pollard completed 3-of-7 passes for 87 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Cobey Montgomery had one catch for 21 yards and Thurman had two catches for 66 yards.

Howe safety Joey Hymel led the Bulldogs with seven tackles and one interception.

Howe will focus this week and prepare for a challenge against a good Bells (1-0) team which is coached by former Howe offensive coordinator Dale West. The Panthers beat Whitesboro on Friday night, 20-6.

Howe is 35-9 overall against Bells dating back to 1936 which was Howe’s second year of playing football under the UIL. The 35 wins against Bells are the most for the Bulldogs against any opponent. Howe lost, 19-13 a year ago in overtime. The Dogs’ last win came in 2018 with a 30-15 win at home. Howe hasn’t won at Bells since 2006 which was 286 score and one of only three wins for Howe that season.

Howe won eight straight matchups with Bells from 1979-1994. The Panthers 2005 was the first over Howe since 1972.

With social distancing still in place, fans area asked to get their tickets at Howe High School early for a seat as only 50 percent of occupancy can be used. The game will be broadcast live on howeenterprise.com and on YouTube. The pregame show will begin at 6:30 pm and kickoff is 7:30 pm.
