Bulldogs, Blue Flames
Battle to 14-14 Tie;
Oxford Game Friday
By Bill Quick
The Wakelan Bulldogs were
slowed somewhat on Friday night
as they saw their unblemisihed
1962 record marred by a 14-14
tie with the Nashville Blue Flames.
Reminiscent of the 1960 contest
when Wakelon eked out a 14-13
victory in the dying moments of
the game, the gridiron skirmish
was a thriller to the finish.
Wakelon won the toss, elected to
receive and after marching for
eight yards was forced to boot.
On a 80-yard sustained drive that
was climaxed by a 50-yard run by
sophomore quarterback Wayne
Wells, the Nashville eleven pulled
ahead 6-0. Steve Evans kicked the
vital extra point to push it 7-0.
The Bulldogs offensive threats
were stymied until the second
quarter when senior quarterback
Tommy Wood connected on a pass
to end Thurston Debnam that
covered 55 yards and Wakelon’s
first six-pointer. Wood passed to
Creech for the extra point that
tied the game.
Nashville began a drive tha car
ried the Flames to the one-foot line
when the gun sounded on second
down.
Nashville took the lead again in
the third quarter as fullback
Charles Chappell bulled his way
over from the 5-yard line. Evans
again kicked the extra point.
Wakelon scored the tying
touchdown on a 51-yard drive that
culminated in a seven-yard run
by halfback Randy Creech to pay
dirt. Freddie Ellington was called
upon to attempt the extra point
and Ellington pushed his way
through the center of the Nash
ville line to tie the score 14-14.
Both teams had scoring oppor
tunities in the remaining minutes
Last year the Nashville team
pasted the Bulldogs 20-7.
The team travels to Oxford on
Friday night to meet Oxford Or
phanage at 8 p.m. Follow the
Bulldogs!
