Page 4 A. H. S. 1 SPORTS I BULLDOG BARKS ATHLETES OF THE MONTH When you see the middle of the opponent’s line being ripped open you will know that a pair of flashy guards have slashed it open for a spectacular play. They are (as you know) Jimnay Knotts and Co-captain Ken Ritchie, as fine a pair of guards as any where in the state. a xj c “Knotty” is the brother of “Bear” Knotts, former A. xi. o. player and now a Duke star. . a Ken is Co-captain of the Bulldogs and has really played a season. Ken has made good at kicking the extra points wnicn are very important in a game. j ii These two boys have played heads-up ball this year and will make good prospects for any college team. JR VARSITY IMPROVING Coach Henry “Mac’s” Bullpups have been doing better since the last issue of the Full Moon. Since then they have tromped China Grove and the powerful Mt. Gilead team, losing to Mt. Gilead in a return game by a score of 6-0. , , n i. The players you have been seeing on the Jr. Varsity will be what next year’s varsity will be made of, so here’s hoping that they do what our Varsity has done this year. ALBEMARLE VS. ALBEMARLE Yes, sir, it was “Bear” Knotts against Dick Foreman and Buck Mabry in the Duke vs. Wake Forest game ten days ago. “Bear” and Dick were noted in the papers for their fine defensive works, while Buck did not play much due to a bad ankle. CUBS SIGN CHARLIE Albemarle High School recently lost Charlie Wiles when he signed a baseball contract with the Chicago Cubs and quit school. Wiles, who caught for the Legion Junior Finalists this year, was a regular tackle for the Bulldogs both last year and this and a star guard for the basketball team last year. A. H. S. misses Charlie for he was a great athlete and friendly to everybody. Good luck, Charlie. TASTE OF ARMY LIFE If school seemed quiet to you the week of Oct. 23-27, it was because some of the senior boys were with the State Guard at Fort Bragg. The yardbirds left Sunday morning at 5:30 for their training. They got regular army training and pay. It was a week of march ing, hand to hand fighting, etc. Payday was Saturday afternoon. The boys that left from A. H. S. were: Jimmy Sifford, Ken Ritchie, Jimmy Knotts, Donald Whiteley, Tom Efird, Gerald Rum mage, Fred Litaker, Henry Walker, Wade Huneycutt, and Bill Love. THE FULL MOON China Grove Loses To Junior Varsity The Junior Varsity of A. H. S. took an unexpected win over China Grove by a score of 12-6. The China Grove team had an undefeated season behind them un til they played Albemarle. With the help of three second-string varsity players, the Junior Varsity held the China Grove team most of the game, allowing them to score only once. The Junior Varsity showed an array of passes and running at tacks. Beaul Lefler and Gene Har rington did the running and pass ed with precision. Gene Harrington broke his arm while running with the ball, so Leonard Gibson took over his place from then on. He and Beaul Lef ler scored a touchdown each. Bullpups Lose A. H. S. Bullpups in their sec ond game with Mt. Gilead lost by a score of 6-0. The Mt. Gilead team showed up much better with-iftssing and run ning attacks. The Bullpups could n’t get started to a scoring posi tion. Mt. Gilead had a much bet ter pass defense. The Bullpup’s blocking seemed not to have effect on Mt. Gilead. But the Bullpups held their ground to the last two minutes of the game when an off tackle play brought Mt. Gilead to the pay-dirt. The attempt for the extra point was no good.

In the second stanza the Bull dogs were in the shadow of their own goal posts when the Home’s Poole brothers took it over and Sprinkle added the point. Walker and Sifford alternated for a while and Lowder picked up a fumble for the score. The first half ended with the score 7-6 in favor of Children’s Home.
