BULLDOG BARKS
i It was first and ten for the Bulldogs in the opening minutes of
).±e game with Spencer. The ball came spinning back from center to
BlackweU, who on a reverse through the line, picked up four yards
'jefore he was stopped cold by the Spencer fullback. The play was
'‘,hrough, and so was Lafayette. He slowly rose from the ground,
•Sihook his head as if bewildered, and after looking all about him in
order to get his bearings, walked back into the huddle. Yours truly,
ivho was calling signals at the time, hesitated about asking for a sub
‘‘oecause there were no sub backs, due to the Legion expedition to
‘Cincinnati. Several more plays were run, and BJackwell, confused
^nd a bit on the dopey side, had to be taken from the game to be
Replaced by an unexperienced back. Upon reaching the sidelines,
Lafayette was quickly put through the usual history lesson by the
L Who discovered America?” asked DeLotto.
Columbus,” Lafayette quickly replied.
' “When?”
I “In 1492.”
i The coach heaved a sigh of relief over the fact that his varsity
^jack was all right.
Several minutes had elapsed and the ball was being pushed into
•Spencer’s territory by the Bulldogs. It was one of those moments
'hat footbal.1 fans life for. But not Lafayette. Slowly turning to
• ;he Coach he asked, “Coach, do you really think Roosevelt will run
for a third term?”
The coach, a bit shocked, turned and yelled, “Is there a doctor
n the crowd?”
Congratulations to Lexington high and Coach Tom Young for
:he grand team they have this season. Barring all accidents a war
iwith Germany, and the draft, they should be able to cop the con
ference pennant again this year in a breeze. The boys have weight,
speed, and ability, the three factors that determine the success of
'iny football team. Their blocking is deadly and the punting of Bill
Myers, captain and quarterback, shouJd carry them through an un-
jefeated season.
■. But their greatest asset will not be found in a gold jersey and
silver helmet doing duty on the field. It consists of the largest and
„)est organized cheering section to be found in the conference. Their
‘‘celling is timely, and they really “whoop” it up when something oc-
i^iurs that might mean an Indian touchdown.
A little colored boy dressed in a regulation uniform with white
i>;ape marking his dark countenance in the form of battlescars, is al-
ijVays on hand to represent the fate of the previous Indian victim. He
^^lobbles about, always near the opponent’s bench or dressing room,
^noaning the bJufl’ that it’s really dangerous to play a Lexington team.
3e adds a world of color to the games and he never fails to bring
from the crowd.
All in all, Lexington cai

heads-up football. John Kennedy
played a good game at defensive
tackle.

won their first game of the season
by walking over the Kannapolis
Midgets 44-0.
The Bullpups showed they had

running, and tackling. This be
gan to show after the first period,
when the Bullpups racked up two
touchdowns in the second quarter
after making one in the first.
The last period showed but
score, but it was one of the most
thrUling plays of the game. “Bud’
Foreman intercepted a pass and
ran through the Kannapolis team
93 yards for a touchdown.
Scoring touchdowns: Owen
Skidmore 2, Foreman 2, Smith 3.
Albemarle 25—Concord 0

Bulldogs Pull Upset;
Beat Children's Home
Albemarle High Bulldogs pulled
a South Piedmont conference up
set last Friday to defeat a favored
Children’s Home team by the s
of 18-7. Albemarle pushed
two touchdowns in the fourth quar
ter to take the victory.
Morton recovered a Children’^
Home fumble early in the first pe
riod on the visitor’s 24-yard line to
set up a scoring play, Peavey pass
ing to Mann on the goal line for
the score. Little missed the place
ment.
In the third period Children’-
Home went ahead despite a 15-yard
penalty for unsportsmanlike con
duct that moved the visitors from
the three to the 18-yard line on
fourth down. However, Hart pass
ed to Poole for the touchdown on
the next play and Jones skirted
end for the conversion.
In the fourth quarter, Blackwell
made a first down on the 30, and
Swanner took the ball on a fake
to pass to Little for a score.
A few moments later Children’s
Home lost the ball on their own 39
by passing on fourth down in a
desperate attempt to score. Mor
gan dashed 32 yards and was in the
clear but stepped out of bounds on
the 7-yard strips. Morgan plunged
over on his third attempt for the
final score.
Spencer 6, Albemarle 0
Albemarle high lost its second
game of the season on October 4
when Spnecer secured revenge for
a 1939 defeat by shutting out the

Spencer’s score came in the
fourth quarter when Marvin Cress,
ace of the Spencer offensive, broke
loose on a 55-yard jaunt that put
the ball in scoring position.
Albemarle’s only scoring threat
came in the fourth quarter when
Blackwell and Morgan sparked the
ball all the way to the Spencer
four-yard line before the ball
changed hands.
Compliments
of
American Cafe
ed their third consecutive win of
the season on October 11, by crush
ing the Albemarle Bulldogs by the
score of 39 to 0.
After the first five minutes of
play, during which their running
attack failed to net yardage, the
Indians took to the air in a series
of passes that spelled disaster for
the Bulldogs.
Myres and Carlton stood out in
the Lexington lineup, while Fore
man and Knotts did yoeman ser
vice for the Bulldogs.
Albemarle 20, Badin 0
Two passes, Blackwell to Auten,
and an intercepted Badin pass by
Morgan accounted for the 20 to 0
win over the Badin Watts on the
Albemarle field, September 27.
The Albemarle line gave a good
account of itself, while Blackwell,
Morgan, and Wallace, the latter
used mostly for blocking purposes,
were the work horses for the back-
field.
McDaniel played outstandingly
in the Badin line, while H. Morgan
had almost complete charge of the
backfield activities for the Walts.
