yesterday, bans fishing, hunting
and trapping; and the building of
I camp fires, or burning of tra4h
; within 500 feet of woodland in

In the opener of the season the

In the first quarter the Bull
dogs were given a break when An
drews fumbled on a fourth down
Murphy^punt putting them on their
own two yard line. Andtows ran
out their alloted downs and a poor
fourth down punt gave Murphy the
baU on the Wildcats 90.
However Murphy was penalized
several plays later bade to their
own 48. Then Murphy's dormant
attack awoke and quarterback
White paaead to halfback
Eddie Moody1 Elliott for 22 yards.
But the drive was cut short when
Andrews recovered * Murphy fum
ble on the Wildcats 20.
Andrews offensive attack couldn't
get anywhere and Murphy again
was on the march. Elliott drove
for 19 yards to Murphy's 49 yard
line. White then passed to Eugene
Dockery for five yards and a first
down. A few plays later White
again tossed to Dockery for six
yards.
The half ended 0-0 with Mar
shy in possession of the pigskin.

second half Murphy kicked off
to Andrews but the Wildcats

clincher for a tie. A Murphy guard
waa accused of unsportsmanlike
conduct against an Andrews play
er_The Andewrs boys however ad
mitted that he was not slugged
but the penalty was enforced.
fat the waning minutes Murphy
waa again ha striking distance of
paydirt. White pitched to "Sticky
