The highly touted Henderson
Bulldogs, who, during the last
school year defeated the local
y-'low Jackets four consecutive
times in athletic events, bowed to
Coach Venter's power-laden Jack
ets, 6 to 0, u'nder the arcs in
Henderson last Friday night.
The game started with Render
s'*" kicking-off to the Jax 15-yard
lifie where the ball was taken by
Li η wood Butler, Jax wingback.
Butler carried it down the left
sidelines 50 yards to the Bulldog's
35. With the ball 15 yards in from
t)-"\ left sidelines the Jax took
over, and without going into a
huddle pulled the aged sleepilng
end play, Rase passing to Charles
Smith. Thos was good for 20 more
yards, putting the ball on the
F^ldog 15. Lenwood Lassiter, on
a iake-reverse, bucked the center
for two more. Three plays later
the Bulldogs took over afier hold
ing back the first Jacket threat
But the sight of pay-dirt was
S;v'l in the Jacket's eyes and in
less than a minute they were
again knocking at the door. Las
jiter picked up three yards from
ihe Bulldog 35, then Rose, faking
to Lassiter, rifled a 20-yard pass
ο Butler who scored untouched.
The conversion failed and Coach
Venter's Jax led, 6 to 0, after three
minutes of play.
Henderson moved into Jax ter
ritory five times during the night
with » their most serious threat
coming in the third period when
hey reached the Jax IS. Stubborn
defensive play σαι the part of the
Jacket forward wall kept the Bull
dogs in check.
This was the first opening-game
victory for the Jackets in five
years. Coach Venter and his Jack
et eleven journey to Elizabeth this
Friday.
