^A. H. S. Bulldog Squad
[^ets Looking Over
As football seems to hold the
‘•nain interest of most students dur
ing: this season of the year, it
%ight be interesting for us to take
'in inside look at some of the in-
iividual players who constitute the
Bulldog team.
SlAFAYETTE BLACKWELL j
Laffy will be out this year for I
pis fourth letter in football. He will
(.igain play wing back this year and
^lis previous experience should
make him a treat in any ball game.
DICK FOREMAN
r This is Dick’s second year at the ,
eoivot position. “Sleepy” did a fine ;
job last year and will probably be
: n the competition for All-Confer-
tijnce center this fall.
TED WALLACE
Ted, as Lafayette, is also one of
"She A. H. S.’s veterans of the grid-
,ron. He was shifted from right
!?uard, which he held in previous
■■Vears to blocking back, where he
‘s showing up exceptionally well.
Jim n end on
*;he varsity last year, and his ag-
Jjressiveness on defense should be
in asset to the squad this year.
.ROBERT MORROW i
’■ “Knocker”, octopus of the line,
■who puts everything into his play- i
ing, including vicious swinging of
lis arms and legs, is holding down
left guard and is doing a very
food job.
I^AX MORTON
“Fluffo”, the 200 pound terror at
bcackle, who has displayed his spunk
*n going after his fourth letter in
football, tries to match kicks with
‘Knocker” Morrow, but in doing so
i:urns the forward wall into a hu-
..^Tian dynamo.
^■JOHN LITTLE
Left flankman who is expected to
Jtnake his debut this year on the
>ridiron after laying down his first
„3aseman’s mitt. John will also
j.end his toe on the conversion.

Jackets Score
Early In Game
The Albemarle Bulldogs dropped
their opening game of the season
to the Boyden High Yellow Jackets
of Salisbury on Friday, September
20, by the score of 18 to 0.
Lightning blows struck against
the seemingly confused locals in the
opening minutes of the first period
accounted for all three tallies.
On the fifth play after Albe
marle’s first punt, the Jackets
reached pay dirt. Taking the kick
on the Bulldog 41, Dorsett made
eight at tackle and a first down on
the 31. After a pass had failed
to score, H. Bowen bucked over
tackle for 30 yards and a touch-
The ball changed hands twice
and Morgan kicked out on the Al
bemarle 43. H. Bowen picked up
a first down and Dorsett made four
yards at tackle. H. Bowen then
flipped a pass to Saleeby in the end
zone for the second touchdown of
the game.
Albemarle then brought Loftin’s
back to its 26, only to lose the ball
downs. Morgan kicked out on
____ own 26, and Dorsett, running
ofi^ tackle, threw a lateral to H.
Bowen, who scampered over the
goal for Boyden’s final six points.
Foreman was the outstanding
defensive man for the Bulldogs,
while Rabon looked good for the
Jackets.
