October 22, 1948 THE LEXHIPEP Page 7 JIM RED WINE BOO-HOO Say you’re looking for Coach Jimmy Maus? Well, chances are that he is perched on the nearest wailing-wall, sobbing his troubled head off. If you care to remain, you’ll have to listen to the saddest story you ever heard. It’ll break your heart, and if you’re the type of fan you probably are, you’ll be sobbing right along with him very shortly. But (you ask) what’s the cause of all this melancholy behavior on the part of the coach? Well, believe me, brother, you’ve never heard of a coach with more cause to have out his crying-towel. Why? (you repeat). Well, (sniff, sniff) here goes: 1. He lost his entire first string line, who, incidentally, are making names for themselves and L.H.S. as collegiate players at numerous schools in and out of our state, not to mention two of his starting backs and his standout fill-in. 2. He lost one of the best line coaches in Lexington High School’s bril liant football history, one who appeared to be about the best in “school-boy” football last year .(Look at his line-up now.) 3. Not to be outdone. Ole Man Polio wrecked his schedule, forcing him to drop Salisbury and schedule a bigger and more experienced Elon junior varsity. 4. To top it all off, the school authorities (not to be outdone by the Southern Conference) ruled Roger Cameron ineligible. He was expected to see considerable action for the Jackets. Yea, we’ve sure got trouble, but wipe those tears from your eyes and that frown off your face ’cause we’re just blue, not beaten. Who knows? Championship teams have been made of less, and thus far the scores of previous games played this season look plenty good to L. H. S.! L. H. S. ROUTES ELON JAYVEES 6-0 L. H. S. opened its 1948 football season, September 23, by defeating the Elon College Jayvees 6-0. Both teams played exceptionally well save for a few early season jit ters. L. H. S. passed up two chances to score in the first period when two perfect passes fell incomplete in the end zone. But this was not to stop the victorious “Jackets”. With their backs against the wall, the Elon Jay vees were forced to kick on the fourth down. This proved fatal, however, when Crotts broke through to block the punt on the 20 and set up the only tally of the game. From here Bill Eanes passed to Jim Plott in the end zone for the score. ’The half ended 6-0 in favor of Lexington. In the second half the persistent Jayvees came roaring back with blood in their eyes. Once they threatened on a long drive, but were stopped on fourth down when hardrushing “Coot- er” White broke through to throw them for a loss. ’The game ended 6-0 with Lexington on the long end. Siler, Lee, and Bryson played ex ceptionally well for Elon. Lineups Elon: Ends—Davis, Hudgins, i Tackles—Williams, Golden. Guards—Paul, Seay. Backs—Farmer, Bryson, Hepler, Lee. Lexington: Ends—Dillon, Crow. Tackles—Kepley, Bumgarner. I Guards—White, Dobey. Center—Redwine. Backs—Craver, Plott, Carter, Eanes. HIGH POINT HANDS L.H.S. FIRST DEFEAT L. H. S. took its first defeat of the season Friday night, October 8, when it met a strong High Point eleven. The High Point Black Bisons’ first tally came early in the first quarter when a fumble was recovered on the 20 by Yarbrough. From here the Bisons had little trouble driving over. Bryant’s conversion was good, giving High Point a 7-0 lead over the “Jack ets.” Neither team was able to score in the second and third quarters, but several good attempts were made. Late in the fourth period the under dog “Jackets” began moving. A se ries of short passes and runs which set up the local’s only score. A pass from the 10 by Eanes to Dillon net ted the score. A faked kick and a pass to McBride tied the score up 7-7. It looked as though the game would end in a 7-7 deadlock since only three minutes of play time were left. But the High Point gridders were not to be underestimated. Lex ington kicked off, and with a 15-yard penalty for holding thrown against them, the Black Bisons took over on the L. H. S. 45. Several ground plays netted first downs for High Point, and a long pass from Ellington to Yarbrough set up another touch down for the victors. From here the Bisons drove over to score. After missing the extra point the score moved to 13-7 with L. H. S. on the short end. Now the “Jackets” were really in the hole. Lexington received the kickoff and was downed on the 11. A pass from Eanes was Intercepted by Bryant on the 12 and carried over the goal line from that point. The extra point was no good, and the score moved to 19-7. Once again High Point kicked off, but this time the final whistle blew, and the game was over.
