REDWINE
CREAM FROM THE DAIRY BOWL
“Good Weather Indicates Record Crowd.” That’s what the local rag
prognosticated.
Boy! Did Mother Nature show them a thing or two! Just between you
and us, we believe thae she has a personal grudge against Dairy Bowl Inc.
Last year she cast millions of tiny ice cubes upon Holt-Moffitt Park, freezing
players and fans alike. This year, getting even cuter, she unzipped every
rain cloud in the heavens, letting their liquid contents drench some 3,500
fans and change a nice solid field into an ocean of quicksand.
Despite her seeming dislike for them, the Dairy Bowl committee is
planning a bigger and better bowl for ’49.
LOCAL LADS LAUDED
Coaches Jimmy Maus and Harold Bowen had themselves a fine football
season. Their Jackets won 7; lost 1; and tied 1. If you need further proof,
let’s look at the individual honors bestowed on their charges:
1. Billy Eanes was selected for the third straight year on the G. D. N.
All-State team. To top this off, he received and accepted a bid to play in
the annual Shrine Bowl.
2 Three Jacket stalwarts, Ralph Craver, Fred Dbey, and Bob Kepley,
went to the Optimist Bowl in High Point. All three played bang-up ball for
Maus’ West team.
3. Harold (Watch My Smoke Next Year) Carter, “Cootie” White, Fred
Dobey, and Ralph Craver received honorable mention in the Daily News
All-State.
That’s a fine record for any man’s ball club!
WANT LAUNDRY DONE?
If you’re looking for Coaches Jimmy Maus or Harold Bowen, chances are
you’ll find them down in the home economics room making like Beulah, the
washerwoman. They have a brand-new “Bendix,” too. So you’re doubtful?
Look on the fence behind the school any bright and sunny day.
HATS OFF!
Quoted below is a letter received by the assistant sports editor from
Bob Hendricks, student body president of L.H.S. last year, now a freshman
at U.N.C.
Many thanks. Bob, for your thoughtfulness and these pleasing remarks.
U.N.C., December 6, 1948.
An open letter to the coaches and football team of L.H.S.
It is altogether fitting and proper that after a highly successful season
culminating in a Lexington victory over Tech High of Charlotte in the third
annual Dairy Bowl, that recognition be made of your meritorious achievement.
Although just an alumnus of Lexington High School, I would like to take
this opportunity to express my congratulations, to both coaches and players,
for the glory they have achieved on the gridiron during the past season.
Your attainments on the football field not only show the football power of
the team, but also exemplify the indomitable spirit that emanates from
Lexington High School.
My heartiest congratulations to Coach Maus and the Yellowjackets, from
the lowliest scrub to the most publicized player, for a season that wiU be
long remembered by all Lexington alumni.
In closing, permit me to say to the student body, “Although we can’t
all be great athletes, we can be good sports.”
Sincerely,
BOB HENDRICKS,
U.N.C., Chapel Hill, North Carolina
ODDS AND ENDS
We understand that Bill Doyle, this year’s Shrine Bowl coach, doesn’t
think much of the smaller (anything below AA) schools, their players, or
their choaches. That is too bad, because we (in Lexington) think we can
give any ball club in the state a helluva fight! (Even his almighty Bull
dogs !)

Kelly Beck, who was an L.H.S. student last year, played in the Optimist
Bowl against Coach Maus’ team. (We won’t mention the part he played in
beating the West.)
*****
You ean’t say the Optimist Bowl wasn’t rough; even the band members
were getting injured! One member fell (a big brass horn on top of him)
and had to b ecarried off the field. Yep, it was brutal.
♦ * * ♦ «
Somebody said Coach Maus was in line for a coaching job in the Shrine
Bowl next year.—It’s about time!
♦ ♦ ♦ • ♦
Here, to the tune of “We’re Loyal,” we’ll bid Old Man Football farewell
—until next year. While we’re at it, let’s warn him that we’re aiming for
the South Piedmont Conference Championship with both barrels.
“Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow.” (Sniff-sniff!)
