Albemarle’s Bulldogs were down
ed by the Little Wonders 34-0 as
the Bulldogs journeyed to K-town
for a South Piedmont Conference
gridiron meet, October 14. '■
Albemarle, winning the toss,
elected to receive, but after sev
eral minutes of play, the Little
Wonders made the initial touch
down of the game, making the
score 6-0. As the first quarter end
ed, the Bulldogs had the ball on
the Kannapolis nine yard line.
Gerald Whitley ran two yards and
“Rip” Furr picked up three
yards for a first down. Furr made
a two yard scamper but the visi
tors lost the ball as an Albemarle
fumble was recovered by the Lit
tle Wonders.
During the second stanza, the
host team advanced across the
Bulldog goal-line and the extra
point “boot” was good. The score
at halftime was 13-0.
Is Football
Just A Game?
“Attack’! Charge! Reinforce the
front! Form a trap! Blitz the left
flank! Attack! Attack!
The General was not to be out
done. The orders came faster as
the fighting ascended. Complex
tactics were devised to foul the
enemy’s intense agression. Intri
cate plots and counterplots were
prepared and put into action.
The arduous war was complicated
elements of man pitted against
man; but the matter was not one
to forsake, the General, certainly,
not one to give up.
Although, occasionally, it did
seem futile, considering the sup
port had attained a perspective
nadir. This in turn was partly at
fault for the troups’ morale. They
were well-equipped, but inexperi
enced, and even though led by
the General’s veterans, defeat was
often imminent. The deficient men
tal attitude seemed to invite fail
ure. Delay was possible by en
couraging words, fear of defeat,
a win, or hope for the future.
The success of life is obscured
by indifference, but enlightened by
determination and individualism.
The war is real; it is the Gen
eral’s life. He realizes that the
rookies, as they mature, will re
deem themselves in the 6*o*‘y
success, instead of enduring tne
shame of defeat. However, the in
efficiency is but a pause; if often
times takes a lost battle to win
a war.
Even though the current cam
paign is drawing to a close, tne
War is not over, for it seems there
will always be another football
season.
In the early part of the third
period of play, K-town tallied sev
en more points on a 28-yard run,
bringing the score up to 20-0.
During the final period of the
battle, the Little Wonders again
scampered across Albemarle’s
goal-line and the extra point kick
was successful. A 22-yard run and
a good extra point for Kannapolis
ended the game with a score of
34-0.
Bill Hartsell received a 32-yard
aerial thrown by Whitley. This
was the longest pass completion
for the Bulldogs. Ricky Russell
looked good for Albemarle in
punts.
Ulcers, Anyone?
Any young person remembers
the first time he received his
first toy. So much joy and hap
piness was exhibited that one
could hardly go near the re
cipient, and for weeks after
wards, the owner was the only
one who could ever touch the
toy. So it has been recently
with Coach Frazier upon find
ing his spanking-clean, newly
sanded gym.
Under careful supervision,
the gym was carefully sanded
and revarnished. New blue and
white lines are painted on the
floor.
An added attraction that
caused much worry was the
Bulldog that is painted in the
center circle.
No student can realize the
anxiety and anticipation that
was felt by Mr. Frazier, the
guardian of the gym. How are
your ulcers, Coach''
