Mountaineers Win
Over Bulldogs By
Score Of 28 - 13
The Bulldogs played strong
football in their Friday afternoon
match with Waynesville, at Mur
phy, but smart blocking and Leon
ard Messer's offensive play took
the game for the Mountaineers
with a 28-13 score. Murphy is the
first team to make more than one
touchdown on Waynesville. Dur
ing the half-time intermission,
Murphy crowned their football
' queen, Miss Carolyn Head.
Murphy's fullback, "Bull" David
son, proved a hard driving ball
carrier and hit pay-dirt in two
bucks through the center. "Bull"
has only recently been added to
the roster and is playing strong
offensive ball. He intercepted a
pass early in the game and alter
nated with halfback Ralph Pickle
simer in driving back near the
goal line.
Murphy took the opening kick
off from Messer. returning from
the 30 to 35. Both sides put up
good offensive and Shook's pass on
third down was intercepted by
Davidson on his 33, and returned
to Waynesville 43. Green went
through the Waynesville line for
the first score and Davidson
smashed over for the extra point,
setting Murphy ahead.
Leonard Messer untied the 7-7
deadlock, with which the half
ended by snagging a pass on the
Bulldog 15 and fighting on into
the end zone. Quarterback Shook
climaxed his work throughout the
game when, in the last two minutes
of the fourth, he twisted around
left end and dodged through the
secondary for a touchdown.
