Bulldogs To Play Franklin On Friday By WALTER CARRINGER The Murphy Bulldogs invaded the Sylva gridiron last Friday night and proceded to run over their host to the tune of 25 to 7. The Bulldogs dominated the play from the opening whistle to the final play except for the lone touchdown made by Sylva in the J last few minutes of play. \ Sylva back was almost loose for a score when he took a Murphy kick deep in his own territory, faked the ball ' to a team mate and then hid it on his side. He got to the Bulldog 35 before he was brought down by Johnson. "Bull" Davidson played one of the best games of his football career, and incidentally of the year, for the Bulldogs. "Bull" ! carried the ball 14 times for a total of 131 yards; one was for a 60: yard touchdown jaunt. Pickle simer. who captains the Bulldogs, also turned in a top notch per formance. "Pickle" carried 4 times for a total of 49 yards. We don't know whether any college coaches read this paper or not. but if they do it would certainly pay them to come out and look these two boys over. "Bull" is big. but he's fast. too. as he proved last night by completely out running the Sylva secondary. We haven't seen his equal in this part of the state. Here's some more individual yardage for the Bulldogs: David son, 14 times carrying for 131 yards: Picklesimer, 4 for 49; Green. 8 for 52; Brendle. 3 for 19; Alex ander, 1 for 1; Rogers, 2 for 7. We took some more statistics of the game. It was impossible to get them all cxactly accurate, but here they are: first down, M-ll. S-6; passes attempted, M-5, S-15; passes completed. M-3, S-5; num ber punts, M-4. S-6; average yards on punts, M-29. S-26; yards rush ing. M-256, S-12; yards passing. M-50, S-58. Alexander scored first for the Bulldogs on a reverse. Davidson made the second tally on reverse end run for 60 yards. These were in the first quarter. In the second quarter. Picklesimer shot a pass to McDonald who scored the third touchdown. Green passed to Alex ander for the extra point. In the third period Green passed to Picklesimer, who took it on the Sylva 20 and scored the final touchdown for the Bulldogs. Syl va's tally came late in the fourth period on a pass. The extra point was good and the game ended 25 to 7. The Buldogs "entertain" Frank lin Friday, November 15, on the home field. This has all the mak ings of a real ball game as the Bull dogs are out to erase their defeat at the hands of the Panthers earl ier in the season. ?
