Community Chest Drive Monday
Wakelon Drops Game
To Bethesda in Final
Six-Man Football Play
The Wakelon Bulldogs went
down fighting before the hard
charging Bethesda sextet last Fri
day to lose their last game of the
season, 25-12. Unable to hold the
wide end runs of the Bethesda
boys in check, Wakelon took ad
vantage of the winners’ fumbles
to stay in the game.
Bethesda scored twice in the
second quarter to lead 13-0, but
the Bulldogs uncorked their pass
ing attack to score near the end of
the half on a pass from Bill “Sam”
Brantley to Jimmie Greene.
Bethesda scored in each of the
final periods to increase the lead
to 25-6. In the final minute of
the game, Bill Brantley tossed a
pass to Bobby Bridgers just past
the line of scrimmage. Without
any interference, Bridgers dodged
through the Bethesda secondary
to score standing up. The play
was good for IJS yards.
Bill Brantley, switched to center
on defense, was best for Wakelon
in this department, and Bobby
Bridgers broken field running was
the highlight of the Wakelon of
fense.

Hopkins Cites Brown,
Massey, Schools' Aid
In Successful Campaign
Willie B. Hopkins, chairman of
the Zebulon division of the Ral
| eigh - Wake County Community
| Chest campaign, stated yesterday
I that the local drive went over the
| top this week with the reporting of
j approximately $150.00 in contribu
tions from Garland Crews, princi
pal of the Shepard Colored School.
Previous reports had carried the
; total to SBSO, and the Shepard con
tributions swelled the amount to
SI,OO2 —two dollars more than the
local quota.
“We were both pleased and sur
prised that Zebulon reached its
quota so promptly,” Hopkins said,
“especially since we failed to attain
our quota last year, and people
generally have less money this fall.
All of the chest workers deserve
commendation, especially Vance
Brown and G. C. Massey.”
Hopkins also cited good work of
local schools.
The colored school now is spon
soring a traveling minstrel show,
which plans to turn over its profits
to the county chest fund, since the
Raleigh-Wake quota still lacks sev
eral thousand dollars of being
reached.
