Tie With Maxton In Season Opener

Br JIM HATCH
Last Friday night the Blue
Knights of Southern Pines jour
neyed to Maxton to open their
1954-’55 football season. Coaches
Irie and W. A. Leonard’s boys
took the field against coach Wylie
Steeds’ red-clad team with vic
tory in their eyes, but had to set
tle for a scoreless ball game.
It has been called to our atten
tion that this was probably the
first time that Southern Pines
has ever played in a scoreless
ball game and we stop and think
back and can’t remember seeing
this happen to the local lads.
Those familiar with six-m^ foot
ball over the state could not re
call a scoreless game anywhere.
The game was mostly a defen
sive one compared to the con
test with this team last year. Last
year’s score was Southern Pines
38, Maxton 6.
First Quarter
Maxton lost the toss and South
ern Pines elected to receive.
Johnny Watkins took the Maxton
kick on his own 12-yard line and
raced the ball back to his own
30 before being brought down by
a hpst of Maxton players. On the
second play the locals fumbled
and Maxto-n recovered. From the
S. P. 30, the ball was moved to
STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY, SIX YEARS OLD. 86 PROOF.

the 22-yard line on the next play.
From here Maxton tried its pass
offense, but Bobby Cline knock
ed the pass down and the threat
was over for a few minutes.
On the second play for Maxton,
A1 Green, a speedy little half
back, took the ball from the
Southern Pines 30 to the Blue
Knight 5 where the ball was
finally lost on downs. After a few
run attempts .by Johnny Watkins,
the Blue Knights were also forced
to kick.
The Maxton team started to roll
as Paul Sullivan took the ball
and started to race back up the
field. Then Garland Pierce came
from nowhere and stopped him
on the Maxton 35-yard line. Max-
ton gave ground as S. P. forced
them back to their own 30.
Maxton was forced to punt and
SPHS took over on their 12-yard
line. Then the Blue Knights were
penali2:ed 5 yards for offsides
after a drive back to the Blue and
White 39. After several more
plays, the quarter ended with no
score.
Second Quarter
The second quarter started
with a, “bang” as James Hum
phrey raced the half back for 10
yards from the first play of the
quarter. John Watkins passed to
Bobby Cline for 10 more yards
and it looked as if the Blue and
White were touchdown bound,
but then it happened.
Southern Pines fumbled on the
next play. Luckily, Garland
Pierce recovered, but the boys
still suffered a loss of yardage
and the ball. Maxton then tried
its running offense, but suffered a
bad loss as Kenneth Creech
charged from his line position to
make a beautiful tackle and give
Maxton a headache that lasted
the rest of the night. Bill Marley
added to the headache by stop
ping \the red team o-n its 38-yard
line as it prepared for a goal line
march.
Maxton decided to punt and the
ball went out on the Blue Knights
35-yard line, but Southern Pines
was later forced to kick and
Maxton took over on her own 10.
From here the college town boys
raced to the ir 29. Then the fire
works really started. Maxton
fumbled on her second play from
scrimmage and “Big” Bill Cox
picked up the pigskin and raced
it back to the Red 10-yard line.
James Humphrey ran the ball to
the Maxton 8 and then to the 4-
yard line, buf fate was against
the local lads as the quarter end
ed the first half of the ball game
with no score.
As Southern Pines had posses
sion of the ball when the^quarter
ended they had to kick off to
Maxton and this began the sec-
end half with a good start. Maix-
ton was stopped on their 10-yard
line and gained no ground and
were forced to kick. S. P. then
took over on the Maxton 35.
The locals tried their aerial at
tack again but Maxton intercept
ed and ran the ball back to its 20-
yard line. Then the red-clad Max-
ton boys were thrown for a 5-
yard loss by Lynn Van Benscho-
ten, who is in his first year of
football for Southern Pines.
The Robeson Coimty boys were
once again forced to punt and
the ball was taken by Humphrey
who raced from the Blue and
White 25 to the 34. Don Walter,
a snappy little scat back, took
the ball from the Blue Kniights 35
tO' the Maxton 35. John Watkins
uncorked his passing again and
found Bob Cline at the other end
and the pass was good for 7 yards
and a first down, but the time
ran out and the game was still
scc^reless as the htird quarter
ended.
Fourth Quarter
The fourth and final quarter
opened with the ball in S. P.
hands on the Maxton 20-yard line,
but the ball changed hands again
as downs caught the ' Blue
Knights. Maxton then started
using the dreaded play of six
man football, the spread, trying
several pass attempts from this
spread but little yardage was
gained. Lynn Van Benschoten
once again charged in true grid
iron tradition, and three Maxton
for a 6-yard loss. From this point
on out the ball game was nip and
tuck and finally ended with no
score for either team.

OVERSIZE EGGS
R. S. Dearstyne, head of the
State College poultry science de
partment, says oversized eggs, the
housewife’s delight, are not at
all unusual. In fact they occur in
almost every flock and have be
come rather a nuisance to poul-
trymen. They can’t be packaged
in ordinary cartons and must be
consumed on the farm.
