Bulldogs Make First Appea ranee Tonight
Quarterback
Our Bulldogs
By ROBERT OVEHCASH
■ Who is that quarterback?" a
ladv in the crowd behind the play
ers’ bench asked a neighbor as
thif year's team was showing off
its best in the opening game of
the season.
A feminine spectator’s idea of
lU5 name quickly sped throughout
the crowd. Her guess as to his
name was correct, but it told little
abc.it the boy they were so interest
ed m.
The ladies couldn’t agree on his
parentage, but they did agree that
he was a good football player. He
had Kicked, run, passed, and call
ed plays like a pro.
It was fourth down and about
eight yards to go on the opponents'
twenty-eight yard line. The blond,
curly-haired quarterback faded to
pass. Though the opposing line in
creased the pressure, he hit a
downfield receiver right in the bel
ly with a buUet pass.
The crowd and our lady friends
cheered. If these ladies who prais
ed him now because he was able
to handle a "whap-sided bathe-
sphere" only knew how much bet
ter he played the game of life,
I wonder if their praise would be
any different. He is the past presi
dent of his class at Sunday School,
the vice-president of both his cla.ss-
es at school, and has organized the
youth group at church. He was a
leader of his baseball and basket
ball teams not only because of his
ability to play the game — and the
cheering ladies only knew his
name!
Someone's hurt. It's the fullback!
Who’ll replace him? Even the
coach scratches his head for an
answer to that one. The rest of
the game was to prove that the
second string man just didn’t have
it. But some good shifting in the
future would bring an even better
man to the job. Wilson, who was
to be the new fullback was even
better than the man he succeeded.
He »as both heavier and faster.
The cheers of the ladies had
changed now to exclamations ol
concern. Their hero quarterback
was doing well-very well under the
conditions. The opposing line was
using him for a tackling dummy.
Though only a little over five feet

as any other organization may use
it. The reclining seats are spaced
far enough apart, so that the bas

their legs. Its seating capacity is
twenty-five plus the driver. Billy
Smith does most of the driving,

Comas do the driving for athletic
