DICKENS & SON Boute 2 Phone 853-2117 Louisburg, N.C. although at the end. Warren ton was threatening on the Bulldog twelve yard line As the fourth period be gan. the Yellow Jackets sent mighty Edmonds over from the one-vard line. A flip-out pass by Floyd (ailed to hit its mark and the Bulldogs hung on to a slim 16-14 edge. Louisburg moved the ball well and about midway the final stanza. Fuller hit Seidel with a pass good for 55 yards to set up the final Bulldog score. Moments after moving the ball deep inside Yellow Jacket territory. Fuller threaded the needle to hit Seidel in the end zone on an eight-yard toss to give Louis burg a 22-14 margin. Seidel rammed r.v.-r for the U* . . point conversion to move the ?core to iU final notch, 2414. Warrenton threatened ?gain as a series of pas playa worked but with about three minute* left in the fame, Steve Robertaon and Dan Hayes, playing outstanding football in the Louisburg line, jarred the ball looae and Mike Leonard recovered for the Bulldogs on the Loulaburg 15. Warrenton used up it* timeout* trying to regain possession but the Bulldogl ran out the clock to cop their fourth straight victory with ouUa defeat. The win tied the longeat undefeated string In Loula burg history. U Oust, OpM** By CLINT FULLER Louisburg played its toughest foe thus far Friday night and the Bulldogs showed that this year's squad is no fluke. The locals were not phased in the least by Warrenton's initial score. They just buckled down and came right back to tie and then to win. Too often, football teams are judged only on their scores. This year, Louisburg's 90-point effort in their first two games, set tongues a wagging. Many looked for the weaknesses of the opponents. To be sure there were some, but as the Bulldogs downed a good Franklinton Ram team and now, Warrenton, the locals must be considered to be more than a passing fancy. Few teams go undefeated for four games nowadays unless they have a pretty good squad. So, Friday's win must be satisfying to Coach Tommy Twitty and his charges. If they were out to prove a point, they did it very well. Louisburg's stellar linesman Edward (Boo-Boo) Pergerson was chosen by The Durham Morning Herald as Linesman of the Week in the Franklin Area Conference. Pergerson gained the honor for his outstanding performance against Wsrrenton Friday night. Franklinton 's backfield star, Bobby Kearney was chosen by The Herald as Back of the Week for his three-touchdown effort against Littleton Friday. Kearney is one of the brtyit stars in the conference and undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Jim O'Neal and the Rams; Incidentally, Ram Coach O'Neal received a double prize Friday. His wife presented him with a brand new baby boy Friday and his Rams gave him a win Friday night. Congratula tions to Jimmy and his wife and to the Rams. Except, perhaps, for 1962 when i win would have given Louisburg its first championship, there has not bean a game as big as the one coming up Friday nijfit. Oxford Orphanage always tough and still smarting from a 0-0 tie with Louisburg here last year- have been picked to win the Conference title this year. The Red Devils have won their first three gamae by impressive scores. They lost last week to 3-A Hope Mills of the Pioneer Conference. If Oxford defeats Louisburg Friday ni(f>t, the Red Devils will undoubtedly be Conference champs. It is figured that they will take Wakelon in the season final. If Louisburg can maintain its momentum and take the win, the Bulldogs will have taken a giant step towards Louisburg's first and only title. Louisburg meets Wakelon Friday week and should be able to get a win from the Wake Bulldogs. Even figuring Wakelon to win over either Louisburg or Oxford, the winner of Friday's clash will represent the Conference in district play. Needless to say, the Bulldogs want this game more than any other this year. It'll be played at Oxford, which will give the Red Devils the edge In the contest. There'll be some individual contests going on Friday night as well as an expected heeted team battle. Louisburg'* Randy Seidel has six touchdowns and is second behind Oxford's Tim Jones with eight. After trailing all year. Bulldog quarterback Larry Fuller has tied the Red Devil's James Earp for the most touchdown passes. Each have five and Friday's contact could see both going for more. Robby McDonald is leading th? Conference with three TD pass receptions and Tim Jones and Danny Narron of Oxford have two. ? In winning over Warrenton Friday night the Bulldog* tied the longett winning streak of four with the tear* of 1960, 1961 and 1962. Tha 1969 squad hat already outscored the __ 1968 team with only four contacts having bean played. Laat year in ten games, the Bulldogs scored 110 point*.
