Page 4 THE FULL MOON October 3, 1952 Bulldog Barks Charles McManus James Gibson ATHLETES OF THE MONTH RAY GENE SMITH If you have seen any one of the ball games this season, you probably have seen a shy, broad-shouldered player at left end. He is always in on his share of the tackles. Who is this? It is Ray Gene Smith, better known as “Lou”. As number 31 flashes by, you can be sure that Ray is doing his part. Although Ray is shy, he can still carry that weight of 170 pounds and height of 5’1” on the field at all times. This year will be Ray’s second year on the varsity, after playing several years on the B-team. While football is his favorite sport, he enjoys practically all sports. For'the past two years Ray has played on the AHS baseball team. During the summer you could find Ray employed by Coach Webb at Rock Creek Park. Looking for a swell, all-around guy? Look at Ray Gene Smith. DAVID BRUTON Bruton, better known as “Carrot Top” and “Race Horse”, can be seen Friday nights in action. He is co-captain of the football team. David, an outstanding personality in any crowd, is liked by his teammates as well as by his classmates. If you have seen any of the games this year, you have probably seen the possibilities in David. He is a hard working boy and a mainstay in our for ward wall. David, a six foot 200 pound tackle, has done a good job off the gridiron as well as on. He is a home room represen tative on the Student Council and a better than average student. The Full Moon salutes David and Ray Gene this month and hopes they handle the problems of life as they have the problems on the football field. If they do, we are sure they will find the sea of life smooth sailing. Good luck, boys! MOUNTAIN TRIP Could you tell a great deal of difference in the football team in their first game? Well, if you did, it was all for the better. Last August 14 - 22 the Albemarle High School team went to Western Carolina Teachers College for an eight-day workout period. During the stay at Cullowhee, the team received very im portant training in the game of football. There are many reasons why the team went to Cullowhee for the training camp. Of course it makes the team play better, and it also improves the standing with the people of Albemarle, who helped finance the trip. There were about 34 players, coaches, and managers to make the trip this year. While at Cullowhee, the team held about two practice sessions a day. The coaches to make the trip were Coach Webb and Coach Robinette. PHYSICAL ED Have you looked out on the football field during the past couple of weeks and wondered what all of those people were doing out there? (That is. if you don’t get around much or if this is your first year at this institution.) That’s the physical education classes taught by Coach Webb and Coach Benton. This year’s program will consist of tag football, basketball, volleyball, and fishing. Tumbling will be added to this year’s schedule. During bad weather, health will be taught in the auditorium. It won’t be long before the intramural program will get under; way. This program has a wide variety for all sportsmen. Its pro gram will consist of pingpong, checkers, tennis, football, soft ball, basketball, and volleyball. Whether or not horse shoes will be on the program is undecided yet. With this wide variety of sports there should be a game to please everybody. Let’s all take part in these programs and do out share to make them a success.

Taking advantage of a blocked punt deep in enemy territory in the fourth quarter, the Albemarle Bulldogs scored the only touch down of the game to defeat Child ren’s Home 7-0 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, Sept ember 25. T-Boe McLendon charged through the Children’s Home line to block the punt attempted by a Children’s Home back on the first play of the fourth period. Ray Gene Smith covered the ball for Albemarle on the Home’s 18-yard line. On the following play from scrimmage Donnie Smith broke over his own right tackle and raced the 18 yards to pay dirt. Tub Bowers’ attempt for conver sion was good to give the Bull dogs their 7-0 advantage which they held until the end of the game. Children’s Home appeared to score late in the fourth period on a 20-yard pass play from Johnny Walters to Arliss Brigman on a sleeper play. However, there was a penalty on the play against the Orphans so the score was nulli fied. The ball was then handed over to Albemarle on downs and the Bulldogs played for possession the remaining two minutes. It was a hard fought contest for both teams with the Winston- Salem team threatening to score twice early in the ballgame. Band Participates In Duke Band Day Albemarle high school’s band participated in Band Day at Duke university on September 20. The local band took part in two formations at the halftime along with 13 other bands and the Duke university’s band. The 14 bands played “High School Cadets” un der the direction of Paul Bryant. Band Day was held at Duke in connection with the opening foot ball game in Duke stadium. The Blue Devils played Washington and Lee university. Ten-Yeat Record Goes As Wondezs Down Albemaile For the first time in approxi mately ' ten years, Kannapolis gridders defeated Albemarle Bull dogs, at Kannapolis, by a score of 19-14. The Little Wonders scored twice in the first half and once in the second. The first TD for the Wonders came in the opening minutes of the ball game with a 24-yard run by Butch Little. The kick for extra point fouled and Kannapolis was ahead 6-0. On the first play in the second quarter Gary Sherrill passed to Ritchie to the three. On the next play Ritchie plowed over for the TD. The point again was missed, and the Wonders were ahead 12-0. Albemarle came back late in the half and moved the ball down to the Kannapolis two. Two plays later Donnie Smith was over for the score. Tub Bowers’ kick was good and the score stood Kannap olis 12, Albemarle 7 at halftime. Neither team made a serious threat, but things begun to hap pen in the final quarter. The half back took another hand-off and carried 26 yards for Kannapolis’ third touchdown. This time the try for extra point was good and the Wonders were ahead 19-7. Ralph Setzler took the kickoff on his own 22 and raced down the left sidelines for 72 yards and the Bulldogs’ second score. It was a brilliantly executed play, as it caught the Wonders asleep on the right side of the field. Setzler broke for the left sideline to go all the way with excellent block ing. He simply out-ran the entire Kannapolis team. Setzler’s run and Bowers’ kick was the last of the scoring for the ball game, as' the Wonders won 19-14. Snuggs Makes Two TD's; Entire Team Shows Up Well. Getting a good start early in the first period the Albemarle Bulldogs rolled over a heavy Lex ington eleven, 19-0, in a South Piedmont Conference tilt in the AHS football stadium September 19. This was the second win of the season against one defeat for Coach “Toby” Webb’s squad and was the first win over Lexington’s Jackets in several seasons. On the second play from scrim mage, Wingback Gene Snuggs took a handoff from Donnie Smith, found a hole in the right side of the line, and with the help of some excellent downfield block ing by Co-Captain James Gibson scored the first of the three Bull dog TD’s. The point after touch down failed, but the Bulldogs were out front 6-0. Late in the first period another Albemarle march for pay dirt was begun after a pass interception by Otty Lynn. Four complete passes thrown by Claude Lawhon put the ball on the Lexington six yard line. Donnie Smith bucked the line for two yards and Snuggs carried over from there. Tub Bowers’ attempt for conversion was good, and the score at half- time was 13-0. ■In the third quarter it was nip and tuck, with the Lexington team starting a march down the field to the Bulldog 10 yard line, where a costly Yellow Jacket fumble was recovered by Otty Lynn. The final score of the game came on a 50 yard jaunt by Donnie Smith in the fourth period. The try for extra point failed, and the game ended with the Bull dogs out front by a score of 19-0. The entire AHS squad deserved prais§ for the win. Tight defen sive play and offense that worked like a clock were the prime fact ors in the Bulldogs’ favor. G. C. McMANUS CO.
