r Is^sitiber 7, «ber 7, 1947 the full moon PARADE _.„arle Bulldogs, although nf the conference & dropping the Children’s „ nd Salisbury games, will win their battle with fconco?d‘spiders, like the ■L have had several bad :“ i,is season, but Albe- fwill find their battle with tniders no pushover. How- , Gantt and company are li, to m, and we have no *but that the Bulldogs will Concord tonight. * * * a too many Sunday nights ■ Coo Goo Gantt, Bob Young- ^ and Joe Morton initiated «■ exercise for the cause of jiE into shape for the foot- , season. Of course they ad- Itiiat their discovery seemed saround before they thought but still they contend that -s nothing to beat it. sems that on one particular iv night Jimmy Napier was 'a bunch of the team in his La Salle, when ™Jy snatched Goo Goo’s of his head. Goo Goo ' itlike that a bit, so he start- ■knocking heads.” Finally itawl got so rough that Jim- lad to stop the car and let Goo, Bob Youngblood and Mon scrap it out. When inestling was at its best, m jokingly drove off and the three of them fighting [fc side of the road. *'minutes later Jimmy re- topick them up, but they nowhere to be found. After king for the three for a few Jes, the gang headed back jkome, thinking that Goo Goo, and Joe had hitched a ride I. But on reaching Albe- they found out that Goo Job and Joe hadn’t gotten lown, so Jimmy went back to lor them. When he got to a (about six miles from where Id left the three, he saw Goo leading a blistering pace I the panting Bob and Joe (ng up the rear. they finally got home. Goo decided that walking ALEX MOOREHEAD was just O. K. He recommends It for anyone who hasn’t corns, big feet, fallen arches, athlete’s foot, ingrowing toenails, or flat feet. * « * Miss Caughman finally admit ted the other day that she didn’t know too much about the funda mentals of football, and since she had so many of the stars in her second year algebra class, it would be a good time to get some of those questions answer ed. So George and Frank Wine- colT, Cecil Milton, Bob Gantt, Tom Hinson, and Buddy Lowder agreed to answer all the ques tions they could that she and the class would ask. Among those asked were: How long is a football field? Why do the officials wear striped shirts? Is it warmer on a football field than in the bleachers? How many quarters in a football con test? How many dimes? Does the offensive team necessarily have to be in possession of the ball?' How does the official al ways know which way the ball will bounce? * * * As to the length of a football field some bright student stated 300 yards when Albemarle has the ball, 30 yards when Child ren’s Home has it. * * * An eighth-grader watching two members of the varsity eleven giving the blocking machine a hard time, remarked, “I sure would like to have had those two boys behind my lawn mower this summer” . . . Let’s hope those boys still have plenty of energy and push Concord around like a lawn mower tonight. « * « With all the newspapers and girls chasing shy “Goo Goo” around so much he is liable to get “plumb” off his course and Albemarle will come up for a conference game short of the star fullback. Anyone asked where they can find Bob Gantt probab- ly will get this answer: “He is out on the football field having his picture taken.” Page 5 H & L Groceries and Meats Martin R.

H. S. encountered some of Its toughest competition. Both sides retired at the end of the first quarter with no score A drive tallied by Gantt and Kluttz m the second quarter proved to be successful, with Gantt carry ing the ball across the goal line from Monroe’s one-yard line. The try for the extra point was suc cessful, with Milton kicking. With a score of 7-0 Albemarle carried her own for the remain der of the period and the rest of the game. The whole game was centered on the strong defensive lines of both teams, who found it impos sible to shake their backfield speedsters loose for any spectac ular gains. The contest was marked by vicious blocking and tackling, with several Albemarle players hurt during the course of the battle. Gantt, Kluttz and Kirkpatrick stood out for winners on the Al bemarle team, receiving out standing cooperation from the rest of their colleagues, while Lee was the sparkplug of Mon roe’s offensive.

Albemarle’s score came early in the game when the whole Bull pup line came through to block Badin’s kick. Jim Miller, who had charged in on the play, caught the ball and raced twenty yards for a T. D. Cecil Milton’s conversion was good, and the Bullpups led 7-0. Melvin Carpenter’s kick was partially blocked when the Bull pups were forced to kick on their own 26 yard line. Mullis, think ing that it was a free ball, com mitted a 15-yard penalty when he caught it in mid-air, but Al bemarle was penalized 25 yards on the play, placing the ball on their own one-yard stripe. After three tries the Watts ran it over with their try for extra point be ing good. Bob Youngblood and Stooge Bullpups Drop One To Troy Varsity The very much out-weighed Albemarle Bullpups came out on the short end of a hard fought game with Troy at the Albemarle stadium Thursday night, 19-0. The first score came as a com plete surprise to the Albemarle fans when Troy completed a short pass to a flanker who wove through the Albemarle backfield to score in the last minutes of the •first half. The final scores came in the last quarter, ending the game 19- 0. Carpenter, Kelly and Lowder were the backfield favorites, with Captain Bob Youngblood and Sam McManus showing up well in the Bullpup line. Mullis were the favorites in the Albemarle line, with Jim Kelly and Melvin Carpenter sharing honors in the backfield. Much reading is like much eat ing, wholly useless without diges tion.
