Yellow Jackets. And the Bulldogs take off on what looks like a rough and rocky road this week as they travel to Canton Friday night to meet Canton High's Black Bears, a perennial WNC foot ball power. Most of last Friday night's action was confined to a whirl wind of scoring in the last half, with 34 of the 40 points scored by both clubs coming in the third and fourth quarters. Murphy kicked off to open the game, but recovered a West Fannin fumble three plays later. Murphy couldn't move, and turned the ball back over to the Jackets. West Fannin marched to Murphy's eight, but werestop ped by another fumble. Mur phy's offense still couldn't gain a first, and a punt put West Fannin on the Bulldog 40.
