Their first victim of the 1961 sea son was Broad Street of Burling ton, overcoming- their foe by a 20-19 score. Both teams played well all through the game, moving the ball with much finesse and skill. The first half began by Broad Street’s kicking off to the B-aby Bison.

Broad Street took the kickoff and on their first play from scrim mage, Charles Duncan intercepted a pass on his own 40 yard line -and raced all the way to the end zone for Ferndale’s second touchdown of the quarter. Duncan also blasted over for the extra point and Fern dale’s lead was 14-6. Ferndale kicked off to Broad Street -and on second down and Short yardage. Broad Street took to the air again.

From this point, Fern dale started a sustained drive that carried them to the 2 yard line be fore Charles Duncan banged in for the score. The point-after-touch down was no good and the score stood at 20-6 at the half. Broad Street took the second half kick off and marched 58 yards for a TD. The extra point was good and Fern dale’s lead was cut to seven points. After Ferndale couldn’t get their ground attack going and were forc ed to punt, the Broad Street single wing really began to click. It was then that they scored a third touch down. The Baby Bison line held the extra point run and Ferndale still held a lead of one point. But Broad Street wasn’t through! They ground out yardage and first downs to the 18 yard line of Fern dale. But time ran out for them and Ferndale had a victory by the score of 20-19. Outstanding on defense were Paul Kindley, end, Bill Southerland, guard, and end Barry Cook. First Defeat The Ferndale Baby Bison suffer ed their first defeat in two sea sons at the hands of Turrentine Junior High of Burlington. Fern dale had its hands full with the single-wing defense Turrentine and still hadn’t solved it until after the T boys had crossed the goal-line three times. With this and their own problem of offense, the Baby Bison found themselves on the los ing end of a 20-0 score. Enough said! The boys got back on the winning trail in their third of the season. This time their victim was Bes semer Junior High of Greensboro. Bessemer dominated the first quarter and took a quick 6-0 lead on a reverse pass play. They fumbl ed on their extra point run. Then Coach Correll’s crew, looking like the champs that they are, really caught fire from this point and it was bye-bye Bessemer. Early in the second quarter, Gary Embler blast ed over from the one yard line. And then on the extra point play, a fake kick and pass from Embler to Barry Cook put Ferndale ahead 7-0. In the third quarter Tony Gibson swept left end for 20 yards and another tally. The pass for the extra point was no good. Final score: Baby Bison: 19-Bessemer: 6. Third Win The Ferndale Baby Bison captur ed its third grid win of the 1961 season, by overcoming a tough Bessemer team by a score of 12-0. The game was tied at the half and it looked as if neither team would score. But late in the third quarter Mike Howington fell on a loose ball at the 40 yard line of Bes semer. From here Ferndale ground out yardage to the one yard line where Tony Gibson cracked in for the touchdown. The pass for the extra point was no good. Then in the fourth quarter Danny Norman recovered a Whippet fumble to set up a second Ferndale score, Gibson going in from the 6 yard line. Again the point after the TD was no good. This ended the scoring for the afternoon and Ferndale came out with a victory to run its record to three wins, two losses. Lose Again Ferndale lost it’s second game of the season to a strong Reidsville club. The Lion Cubs scored on the third play from scrimmage with a 60 yard pass play. The extra point was good, coming from a run off left tackle. The third period was scoreless, but in the fourth quarter they scored twice, one TD coming from a 60 yard end run, and the other on a 36 yarder up the middle of the line. Both extra point runs were good. Final score: Reidsville 27, Bahy Bison 0. Again, enough said!

Ferndale was outscored by its op ponents this year by the score of 72-70. Homeroom 211 walked away with the school ring tennis cham pionship after defeating homeroom 108, the 8th grade champions, with a final score of 36 to 12. Both teams fought hard to defend the title they both well deserved. 108 displayed much teamwork as they tried in vain to pull ahead.

In the seventh grade champion ship 111 won over 112 in a hard- fought game. A pass from Ken Mc Allister to Jim Comer provided the score of 6-0. TAG OR TACKLE Bill Southerland Tag or tackle, which is it in gym class? Some people seem to think it’s tag part of the time while others believe it’s tackle all of the time. The equipment is very essential. It consists of a skimpy pair of blue shorts, and old ragged white t-shirt, and a pair of tennis shoes, usually a mismatched pair from a closet full of tattered, battered, and beat up “wings for flying feet.” The massacre begins with the kick-off. ’The receiving team, after retrieving the ball which has somehow bounced, flopped, or skipped past them, comes face to face with a mass of whooping and hollering blue shirted apes, more affectionately called those dirty cheats. The first play is a thing of beauty. The two ends are supposed to go long for a pass with the line staying in to screen, but through some misinterpretation of the play, the whole team is out for a pass while the poor quarterback is being helped to his feet by four people who had tagged him with their shoulders at the same time. Now we have a new quarterback, the old one having been taken to get painted up by coach and his sting ray. Our new quarterback is smart. He saw what had happened to the other quarterback. He calls for the ball to be centered to the halfback and let the halfback get smeared, oops, I mean throw a pass. This time it works and the whole team romps gaily down the field pushing and shoving, blocking and swing at anyone who gets in their way. The runner, through some fakey running and some good stiff arms, dances proudly past that hallowed white stripe while up the field battered, bruised, and lifeless bodies lie in small heaps all over the place. Now that you’ve heard my story, I ask you, is it tag or tackle?
