Only a couple of the eighth and ninth graders on Franklin's squad had ever seen any actual play, and then only substituting lor a few minutes, while most of Mur phy's boys had played midget football for a year or more before graduating to the Junior varsity team. The local team showed a big line that was able to open nice holes through the middle and off tackle. Defensively, the center of Franklin's line was a stone wall. Left guard J. C. Anderson and right end L. T. Gibson were out standing offensively. Left tackle Butch Mallonee, line backers Alex Corbln, Morris Stockton, Jimmy Dalton, and Max Cunningham at both tackles displayed rugged de fensive line play. Quarterback Joe Hall proved himself a triple-threat man with his adroit ball handling, deceptive running, and cool passing attack. Halfbacks Gene Young and Law rence Cook both showed good running skill and the promise of some break-away thrills as the season progresses. Fullback Jim my Simpson drove the ball very well through the line and proved himself capable of getting necces sary yardages on first downs. Alex Corbin also got off several nice punts in the face of a hard charg ing Murphy line. Other linemen who were In on the action were Bobby Dalton, LE, Arlen Evitt, RG, Ronnie Barnes, C, Tommy Fagg, RT, and Don Fisher, defensive end. Coach "Ike" Olson cleared his bench be fore the game ended and every boy on the squad gained valuable and much needed experience. Franklin's most obvious' weak spots defensively were around the ends and pass plays. On several occassions, Murphy had ends be- j hind Franklin's defensive backs, j wide open, but luckily for the I home team, the quarterback cither ' overshot his man or the ends were unable to hold onto the slippery pigskin. The field was soaked by a late afternoon shower. In the first quarter, the ball changed hands only twice. Frank lin won the toss and elected to receive. Lawrence Cook made a seven yard runback and on the first play from scrimmage Frank- j lin fumbled for a four-yard loss. Then the lads got hold of them selves and put on their best drive of the night. The next play went for 12 yards around right end, then the middle for no gain, then to the left end for eight more yards. With third and two, Hall hit Cook with a perfect 14-yard I pass and Franklin moved on up ! the field, picking up four firsf j downs in all before having to punt sand turn the ball over to Murphy t j Murphy was able to get off only | three plays before the quarter ended, scoreless. In the second j quarter Murphy put on a sustain i ed drive, sticking to the ground, picking up five first downs. Frank lin's line finally slowed this drive j on their own 15 with three min- 1 utes left in the second quarter. On a third down pass play Mur phy had an end wide open in the I end zone, but the quarterback I overshot. But on the next play, Murphy went around left end tr score, then ran the extra point to take the lead, 7-0. Franklin returned the klckoff to the 38, ran two plays, then had a pass Intercepted. As the minutes ticked out In the first half, Murphy tried passes, unsuc cessfully, then Franklin inter cepted and was able to get one play off before the half ended. In the third quarter. Murphy took the klckoff and drove the length of the field to score and run the extra point and up their lead to 14-0. Murphy then kicked off to Franklin, who couldn't get going, and was forced to punt. A fleet Murphy back returned this punt 65 yards to the Franklin S. Mur phy then fumbled and l'.st six yards as the quarter ended. On the second play of the final quarter. Murphy passed for their third and final touchdown and made it unanimous by running their third extra point. Neither team was able to move success fully for the remainder of the period until the closing minutes when Franklin put on a drive with charges through the middle, picking up one first, before the game ended. Rushing yardage for the game was close, with unofficial counts of 95 for Murphy against 81 for Franklin. Murphy got eight first downs versus six for Franklin. Penalties were few and the wet field conditions kept passing yard age low. The J-V's meet Cherokee tonight (Thursday) In Cherokee and the experience gained In a losing cause against Murphy should be the silver lining in the cloud. Any football fan who misses these J-V games is missing some of the most exciting and reward ing games of the year.
