Robbinsville Downs Andrews Wildcats In Opening Tilt By JOHNNY JOHNSON Air power! Robbinsville Blue Devils' aerial offensive and the ac curate bombardment of the Thomp son-Millsaps combination proved to be the winning factor last Fri day afternoon as the Blue Devils .downed the Andrews Wildcats 6 to 0 before a capacity attendance. The encounter was the opener for both elevens and this victory by Coach "Bob" Bell's gridders gave Robbinsville its first chance for celebration. The win is the first ever Andrews in football history at the Robbinsville high school. The Wildcat-Blue Devil got un derway as the Devils kicked to the 20 yard line and Coach "Al" Smith's crimson wave swept back to the 32, made a first down and then were compelled to punt. The kick was good to the Devils' 17 where the reeciver was smothered. A double reverse moved the ball to the 32 and a first down. The Devils were stopped and kicked on the fourth down. Bradley took the kick on the run and returned it to the Devils' 45 yard line. The Wildcat drive rolled to the 29 where a forth down attempt for one half yard failed and the Devils took possession of the ball. Gene Elliott rolled over two stripes be fore the Big Bues were required to hick. The kick went to the 20 and was returned to 25 yard line as the quarter ended. Early in the second period. Elliott intercepted a Wildcat pass on the Andrews 40 and pushed it back to the 35. A smashing drive carried the Blue Devils to the 1 yard line, where a penalty cost a tally. An end zone pass attempt gave the Wildcats a chance to take over but their power bogged. The kick to the 40 was returned to the 28. Elliott noticeably rambled through the "Cat"' line to the 18. where Thompson slanted a lengthy pass to Millsaps in the end zone for the first and only touchdown of the entire game. Phillips' at tempt to sneak for the point was squashed and the Blue Devils took command of the game with a 6 point margin. The Wildcats storm ed from the 18 after the kick-off ( to their own 41, then to mid-field, I where their pass was intercepted by Phillips at halftime. Kobbinsville received opening the third period and beginning on the 20 yard line pushed their way to the Andrews 25 where the Bull dogs took over on downs. The Andrews gridsmen hammered their way, spearheaded by a lateral to Webb, to the Devils' 30. A quar terback sneak failed to make the tape and the Devils began another drive to the 45 as the quarter end ed. In the final period, after two I tries, the Blue Devils were penal ized back to their own 35. The kick carried to the Andrews 40. where it was returned to the An drews 45 Webb crashed through to the Devils' 44. A deep pass in tended for Davis was intercepted by Deyton who skirted down the sidelines to the Andrews 42. West was injured on the play and was replaced in the Wildcat lineup. i Kobbinsville was penalized for I holding on the next attempt, but again, that aerial combination. Thompson to Millsaps dropped the ball to the Andrews 12. Straight power offensive carried the ball into the shadows of the goal as the Devils made a first down on the one yard line. A fumble gave the Big Reds their chance to halt the thiA?at. All running attempts fail ed to move the ball out of the clanger area. The kick was taken at mid-field by Phillips and re turned to the Andrews 35. then Thompson carried the ball to the 16. A passing attempt was halted and the Devils in a final attempt to widen the gap tried a drop kick from the 22 that failed to clear the uprights. The Wildcats took over on the 20 and a passing attempt by Bradley was smothered by a hard charging line on the 9. Walters' punt was blocked and the Devils again threatened by the recovery on the Andrews 8 yard line. A touchdown play was re called by the officials as a 15 yard penalty bounced the Blue Devils cut of striking range and set the play to resume on the 18 as the final gun sounded. With the exception of a few penalties, the game as a whole, was clean, hard fought and well officiated and reflected the efforts of two fine mentors testing the others techniques. Officials were: Tom Ellis. CLEAR PONDEROSA PINE OUTSIDE DOORS 2-8 x 6-S - 1% Solid Lite Top LIMITED SUPPLY Get Yours Now!
