Page 4 THE FULL MOON Friday, October 23, 1953 Bulldog Barks BOBBY REEVES LARRY TALBERT ATHLETES OF THE MONTH JIMMY MILLIGAN Almost every game, on the first offensive play by the Bull dogs, some potential tackier on the opposing teams sees a big “blob” of something come out of nowhere. This “blob” almost always turns out to be Jimmy “Mulehead” Millican, the Bulldogs’ first string left guard and A. H. S.’s “Athlete of the Month”. Mulehead’s 5 foot 10 inches, 180 pound body has enough im pact to make any player who has ever been hit by him remember it for a long time. This fine blocking of Jimmy’s is responsible for many yards gained by the Bulldogs. Besides being a sparkplug on the football team, “Mulehead” takes part in many outside activities. He is a member of the Monogram club, Boosters club, and Black Masque and is a home room officer. T-BOE The ball-carrier circles end and heads down the field. He has several blockers. There’s a good block out there by No. 29, T-Boe McLendon, stellar right guard of the A. H. S. Bulldogs. T-Boe is the veteran of the team. He has been on the squad for four years, and he has played in more games than any other player on the team. T-Boe has been a starter at the same position for three sea sons and he really knows all the ropes and tricks of playing guard. It is hard to say whether T-Boe’s play is better on offense or de fense. He is an outstanding blocker, down field and in the line, and also a hard tackier and hard charger on defense. Last year T-Boe really saved the day at Children’s Home when he blocked a punt that set up the game’s only T.D. T-Boe received the honor of being chosen on the All-South Piedmont Conference team in ’52, being the only junior on the Bulldog squad to receive such an honor. He was given an honor able mention on the All-State team. T-Boe is probably best known for his outstanding play on the gridiron, but he is also a steady performing catcher on the baseball team. When T-Boe comes to bat, the opposing pitcher trembles in his shoes because T-Boe can knock a baseball for a mile. ALUMNI SHINE ON COLLEGE GRIDIRONS Have you ever heard the names of Doug Knotts, Leslie Swan- ner, Ed Patterson, Whit Whitley, Bill Kluttz, David Bruton, and Elbert Holt? If you are a football fan, undoubtedly you have heard all the names. Everybody remembers when these boys were battling for Albemarle High. After graduation all of them decided to carry on their grid play at various colleges around the state. Catawba claims Swanner, Kluttz, and Holt, all backs. Swan- ner is one of the leaders in this year’s backfield, and Holt and Kluttz also are showing up good. Bruton, Whitley and Knotts attend Duke University where they are rapidly adding laurels to their names. Whitley earned a letter last season; Knotts is number two center; and Bruton is on the freshman team. Ed Patterson is first string guard at U.N.C. and is considered one of their steadiest and most outstanding performers. . ALLEN CLOTHING STORE.
