MOUNTAIN LIONS OVERWHELM THE SPARTA FOOTBALL TEAM BY 28-6 Mountain Lions of Noriu Wil- kesboro high school, showing great improvement over tbe opening performance, smothered Sparta here Friday afternoon 28 to 6 before a largo ciowd of vic tory hungry fans. Using a variety of deceptive plays, all the North WUkesboro backs performed well behind a fast charging line. Sparta opened the offensive action in the game with a 20- yard pass, which was their long est single gain In the game, but a fumble by Sparta ruined their scoring opportunity. Sturdivant, Caudill and Rousseau alternated In splendid gains for North Wil- kesboro to get In scoring posi tion and Turner ran it over on m end ruh. Caudill adi ^ tbe point by line plunge. In the second period Rousseau r^n to the ten for a first down and Sturdivant scored. Caudill added the point through the line. In the third quarter Sturdi vant made the longest run of the game when he romped o'^er 40 yards to the eight. A fumble ended that threat but they came back rapidly and Rousseau went over tackle to score, Turosir add ed the point with an end run and the score was 21 to 0. ' Sparta came to life and march ed 99 yards with passes and ^tiiis and with the aid of some fwstly penalties against North Vllkesboro. Reeves heaved an eight-yard pass to Douglas tor Bparta’s lone marker and try for extra point failed. North Wllkes- |$on>t sparred into Intense play iff the Sparta score, put on ao- drive wiilch ended In a ^nchdown scored ibj; CandlU and Sturdivant added the point through the line. In the latter minutes of the game Coach Howard Bowers, who was more than pleased with Im provement in the Lions, put In many substitutes who made a good showing and Sparta ran In a new team which did about as well as the starteirs. Personal mention should be made of the fine work of Win ters, Steelman, Stoker, Church and Porter In the line. The line charged hard and fast. Turner’s blocking was great In the back- field, while Sturdivant, Rousseau and Caudill were really good ball carriers.
