Blue And White Opens Season Hore
With 52-0 Victory Over Carthage
THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina
vC
IC
By DUKE and ROD WHITING
They say that practice makes
perfect. If that’s the case, the
team that Coach Irie Leonard put
on Southern Pines Memorial field
Wednesday afternoon had all the
attributes of a squad in training
for the entire summer, although
pre-season toughening was limit
ed in reality to about three weeks.
This was an impressive team Wed
nesday afternoon, and they rolled
up an impressive score, which
benefited the'Blue and White in
more ways than one. When the
pigskin patrol from Carthage
found themselves on the short
end of a 52 to 0 score. Southern
Pines won not only a material vic
tory, but a psychological one as
well. This margin of 52 points
over a highly touted Carthage
team gives fair warning to the
othcf squads in the Moore County
conference, those of Aberdeen,
Pinehurst, West End, and Robbins,
that the gridiron gang from South
ern Pines asks no quarter for vic
tory.
First Quarter
Carthage won the toss and
elected to receive; Southern Pines
chose the south goal to defend.
Carl Bowers, 162-pound Blue and
White back, lashed the laced
leather and the game was under
way. Carthage received on about
their own 15 yard line and in two
downs gained negligible yardage.
The Green and White punted on
third down and David Woodruff
gathered the ball in and galloped
50 yards before he was brought
down by Carthage grapplers. Two
ground-gaining plays followed,
executed ably by Driving Joe
(Tank) Smith, and then, Mat
thews, on a hand-off from Hunt-
ley, scurried around left-end for
touchdown number one. Tommy
Ruggles converted, with Woodruff
holding, and the score was: South
ern Pines 8, Carthage 0.
When Carthage gained posses-
.sion of the ball again, Jackson
passed complete to Baker for 50
yards, putting the. Green and
White six on about the Southern
Pines 20-yard line. On the re
sulting first down, Jackson passed
again, but the ball must have been
color-blind and the Southern
Pines pass defense strong because
David Woodruff intercepted and
trotted for 40 yards before he was
downed. This play was nullified,
however, by an offside penalty
lodged against Southern Pines.
Carthage then took to the
ground, but found the Blue and
White line as invulnerable as its
pass defense. On fourth down
Carthage gambled on a pass from
punt formation and lost. South
ern Pines ball, first and fifteen, at
the end of the first quarter.
First quarter score: Southern
Pines 8, Carthage 0.
Second Quarter
With the pigskin on the Car
thage 30, Southern Pines was off
on another touchdown tangent.
On the first play from scrimmage,
Ruggles flipped to Joe Smith for
20 yards, placing the ball on the
Carthage 10. On the first down,
Billy Huntley, alert quarterback
for the Blue and White, sneaked
through the hole his line had
punctured in the Carthage for
ward wall, for-5 yards before be
ing spilled by the Green and
White secondary. Smith, on a de
layed buck, was stopped on the
Carthage 4. Then Huntley pulled
a reverse ftom his bag of tricks
and sent Billy Cox, 160-pound
freshman inside left end for the
tally. Ruggles converted and
Southern Pines breathed a bit
easier with a 16 to 0 score.
Carthage safety-man Buddy
Baker took Bowers’ kick, but only
managed to drive to his own 26
marker. Carthage strategy again
chose to take to the air only to be
thwarted by Jim Matthews, who
pulled in the pellet and streaked
to the Carthage 37 where he was
met with a driving tackle by the
Carthage line. Once again the
Blue and White had that scoring
gleam in their eye and they were
not to be denied. Set up on plays
by Huntley, Luketz, and Smith,
Jim Matthews again spread wings
and flew around left end for the
touchdown. Ruggles’ conversion
was blocked by the strong left
side of the Carthage line, primari
ly Ralph Gilmore and J. D. Mon
roe, and the score read: Southern
Pines 22, Carthage 0.
Carthage, still trying to pick up
steam, completed a short pass
from Don Jackson to Billy Holder
for 4 yards. The Green and White
drive could not gain momentum,
though, and a desperate pass on
fourth down was intercepted by
Woodruff. With two minutes to
go before the half, Matthews, be
hind beautiful blocking romped
down the sidelines for 60 yards
and another 6 points for the Blue
and White. Ruggles’ kick split
the uprights and Southern Pines
led 30 to 0.
Carthage 15 as the third quarter
ended.
Third quarter score: Southern
Pines 44, Carthage 0.
Fourth Quarter
The first play of the fourth
quarter was the final play of the
ball game. Huntley flipped over
center to Carl Bowers for the sev
enth and last touchdown for the
Blue and White. Ruggles’ conver
sion was good and the final score
was Southern Pines 52, Carthage
0. The referee stopped the game
at this point, because Southern
Pines was over 45 points ahead.
This is a special six-man football
rule.

Third Quarter
To add insult to injury, David
Woodruff slipped and swivel
hipped his way down the field for
the Blue and White fourth tally
of the day, returning the Carthage
kick-off from hig own 20. Ruggles
gashed the goal posts again and
the score bulged to Southern
Pines 38, Carthage 0.
The flame of spirit in the Car
thage team glowed again when, on
the first play from scrimmage, the
Green and White’s Billy Holder
passed complete to Don Jack^gji
for 30 yards. But the attack bog
ged down again for Carthage and
they lost the ball on downs, even
though deep in Blue and White
territory. The ball, now in the
Blue and White’s possession, found
its way again to Woodruff’s hands.
And again that number 38 found
its way through the entire Car
thage team for another Southern
Pines marker. Ruggles’ kick was
blocked. The score: 44 to 0.
Carthage, unable to function co-
ordinately, punted on fourth
down, after being stopped by the
Southern Pines defensive unit.
The ball soared out of bounds on
the Southern Pines 36-yard line.

senteiice pronounced in recorders
'court Monday by Judge J. Vance

The year’s road term was the

dent.

him was levied in the case of Clar

fine and the costs. He was charg
