Page 4 THE FULL MOON October 31, 1958 BULLDOG BARKS BULLDOGS FACE STRONG LANDIS Athletes Of The Month EDDIE CRUTCHFIELD As the final gun sounds to end a game for the Albemarle Bulldogs, w.hether victory or de feat, surely one of the outstanding players of the night will have been Eddie Crutchfield. This husky right tackle playing his third year of vars ity football gives a superb performance every game. , On offense, when the backs follow number 47, they have no trouble finding the wide holes for gaining yardage. On defense, Eddie spends a great deal of his time in the opponent’s backfield dropping them for long losses. ^ , For his outstanding play in the blue and white of Albemarle we proudly salute Eddie Crutchfield as an Athlete of the Month. GEORGE HARWOOD To prepare for Friday night’s game the T-team runs the opponent’s offensive plays during each practice. Quarterbacking the team is George Har wood. He works very hard running play after play in an effort to let the defense take a look at what they will go against in the game. He scored a touchdown against IV^onroe while running from his wing-back position. For his hard work and fine effort we award George Harwood •with the title Athlete of the Month. CHIP CAIN “Tackle made by number 36, Chip Cain,” droned out the announcer over an excitement filled stadium. Not at just one particular ball field, but in every game those words have become very familiar to Bulldog fans. Chip has done an outstanding job at tackle for the ASHS Bulldogs this year and has let his opposing tackles and ball carriers know it by the bruises they feel on Saturday mornings as a re suit of his hard hitting. A track star, Chip throws the discus for ASHS and usually wins at track meet competition. Yes, sir, that’s Chip Cain—a competitor who just won’t quit working until the final whistle has sounded—and we proudly present him as an Athlete of the Month. Are They Superstitious? “Hail to the varsity. Cheer them along the way.” This song is sung by the Senior Mixed Chorus every Friday before the game that night. Does this help the Bulldogs win or is it sung in vain? Anyway, it is a superstition of the chorus and of the team. Some of the other superstitions of the foot ball players and coaches are: Roger Smith and Sherrill Williams never wear a T-shirt under their jerseys, and Eddie Crutchfield, right tackle, has worn the same pair of socks every game. Walking through the breeze way at the Junior High School is something tri-captain Wayne Spivey never does before a game. Paul Welch never steps on the side lines of the football field before or during a game and Johnny Almond, wingback, never tapes his ankles as most of the players do for the games. If you have asked Coach Knotts on Fridays who will win the game that night you have found he never predicts a Bulldog game. Have you noticed the same pair of pants on Coach Webb, or the taped stick Bear Knotts always carries during a game? These are just a few of the superstitions the Bulldogs ob serve before those important Friday night games. ROSE'S 5-10-25c STORE Headquarters for Bonanza School Supplies Albemarle, N. C. Bingham's Home Improvement Makers of Applicators of Storm Windows Roofing and Siding PHONE YU 2-2313 TEACHER MEETS PUPIL TONIGHT Rockets Won, But Lost One Record Even though the Sandlappers from Rockingham defeated the Webbmen from Albemarle 20-0, they still lost their record of not having to kick on the fourth down during any game this season. Rockingham, the team that scored twice on drive runs and in tercepted a Bulldog pass for the other, had to punt on the fourth down three times. Johnny Almond, /senior wing- back who has played such an out standing part in the previous wins, suffered a broken leg early in the first quarter. This will knock Johnny from the final sea son games, plus meaning a big loss to the Bulldog squad. Eddie Crutchfield was also hurt with a laceration of the face. The Bulldogs will be in full swing against Landis and Concord for the SPG championship. The best compliment paid the Bulldogs after the game came from a fan from Rockingham who said, “Now we can beat anyone.” When the Albemarle Bulldogs and the Landis Yellow Jackets knock heads tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Landis, it will not only be one of the top games of the South Piedmont, but it will be highlight ed as the battle between teacher and his pupil. Bill Kluttz, in his second year as the Landis coach, starred for Coach Toby Webb and the Bull dogs during his high school foot ball career. Last year the Albemarle forces drubbed Landis to the tune of 45 to 7. This year Landis, placed second in the SPC, boasts a strong er team, featuring a 6-1-1 all games record. Coach Toby Webb and his Bull dogs will be trying to regroup their forces and get back to their winning ways after losing two straight non-conference tilts. Webb’s single wing team displays a 5-0-0 conference and 6-2-0 all games records. Concord and Al bemarle are tied, at present, for the conference lead. As mentioned before, Albemarle operates from the single wing for mation and likewise so do the forces of Bill Kluttz. Toby Webb, sometimes called the “Master of the Single Wing,” taught this type of football formation to Kluttz during the latter’s high school career. SPENCE MOTORS Inc.
