Athletes Of The Month
CRAVEN MORTON
Patience and a willingness to learn have reaped a rich re
ward for our first Athlete of the Month, Craven Morton.
This year is Craven’s first as a member of the varsity foot
ball squad, and when the campaign opened, he was a member
of one of the reserve units. As a result, he saw most of the
Bulldogs’ early games from the sidelines. However, his efforts
were not in vain, and after the injury-marked game at Kan
napolis, he was given a chance to play regularly. Craven made
good,, and ever since has turned in an outstanding performance
for the team. He has excelled particularly well on the defensive
unit, where he plays one of the. linebacker positions. As a pass
defender and solid tackier. Craven can always be counted on to
do his share when Albemarle’s opponents have the ball.
Therefore, for his fine effort and determination, we are proud
to salute him as an Athlete of the Month.
GARY MAULDIN
Our next Athlete of the Month is also a first-year man on
the football squad, who, by his hard work and effort, has earned
a fine reputation as a member of the Bulldogs. We are speak
ing, of course, of Gary Mauldin.
As a member of the varsity this year, Gary has turned in
a more than adequate performance at the right guard position.
In addition, he does most of the kicking-off duties for the Bulldogs.
Gary has also earned quite a reputation in athletic fields
other than football. For the past two years he has been an out
standing member of the wrestling team. Just last year he placed
second in the Piedmont Conference wrestling tournament. Track
and baseball are other sports in which he has participated at
A.S.H.S.
A fine all-around athlete and person, we feel that Gary is
deserving of the Athlete of the Month award.
Football Recap
The 1960 season turned out to be a lean one for the Bullpups
After six successive South Piedmont championships, and two
Western North Carolina football titles, the Bulldogs could show
only a 4-6 record and fifth place finish when this football season
came to a close.
Bessemer High was their "first opponent, and the Bulldogs
made a thrilling start by rolling to a 50-7 victory. Next came
China Grove, which the boys won 7-6. Lexington started the
Bulldogs on a three-game losing streak by beating them 12-7.
On the next game, Concord’s Spiders emerged victorious, 18-0
The Kannapolis game followed, and again the Bulldogs came out
on the short end, this time by a 20-0 score. Albemarle got on
the victory trail again in the next two games, downing Thomas-
ville 20-14, ana winning 6-0 over Landis. A strong Rockingham
team brought them back to earth the next week, however, gain
ing a 20-0 victory. Statesville then added a sour note to the
Homecoming game by defeating the Bulldogs 19-14. And, in the
season’s finale, despite a fine team effort, the Bulldogs were
denied their fifth victory of the season, losting 13-0 to Asheboro

JERRY'S RUN IN VAIN
Tailback Jerry Smith’s beautiful 65-yard punt return into
pay-dirt early in Friday night’s battle didn’t count. Officials
claimed the Bulldogs were clipping on the play, and assessed
them with a penalty of 15 yards. Statesville won the home
coming encounter, 19-7.
Bulldogs To Begin
Basketball Season
The sound of basketball is
being heard in the gym of Albe
marle Senior High because the
basketball season is here at last.
Since October 17, Coach Frazier
has been working with the boys
that are going out for the team.
There aren’t many boys out right
now, but when the boys that are
now playing football come out,
there will be more than enough.
This means that some of the
players will be cut from the
team.

Rockingham Beats
Albemarle, 20-0
Albemarle’s Bulldogs gave
Rockingham a rough time dur
ing the first half, but couldn’t
keep them contained and lost a
non-conference thriller to the
Rockets, 20-0.
Through the first quarter it
was a game of defense with both
teams having trouble moving the
ball. Late in the first period
Rockingham got a drive started
and scored in the early minutes
of the second quarter, with Tut-
hill carrying the ball over for
the touchdown. The drive had
been stopped on the one-foot
line, but Albemarle fumbled on
the next play and Rockingham
went on from there.
The Bulldogs were able to
move the ball on several oc
casions with Nelson and Jerry
Smith doing most of the ball han-
ling, but could never pene
trate very deep. The halftime
score was 6-0.
The Rockets came out fired-up
in the second half and scored
twice on drives of 63 and 35
yards, making the score 20-0.
Then early in the fourth pe
riod the Bulldogs had its only
real scoring opportunity, when
Craven Morton intercepted a
Tuthill pass and Albemarle
moved the ball to the 12 yard
line. Here the drive was halted
and Rockingham took pver. This
was it for the Bulldogs, and the
game ended 20-0, with the Rock
ets taking it.
The Bulldogs played a good
game with Morton, Furr, Mont
gomery, Underwood, and Burris
playing an excellent game, and
are to be commended.
