Hoke High Ties
Lumberton Here
Last Friday
LOCALS Surprise and
GRATIFY STUDENT
BODY — 13-13/
Coach Haywood Faircloth’s
Hoke High Bucks, after a not-too-
impressive season, came through
in fine style at Armory Park last
Friday afternoon and, while they
did not win, they came through
with a tie against^ supposedly
stronger Lumbertoi^ ^eam. The
final score was 13-13.
The game started with both
teams playing a captious game
and with both playing on fairly
even terms. There was no scor
ing.
In the second period, however,
the Bucks got their break when
Keith got away for a 25-yard gain
over the Lumberton line and set
things up for a score. He was
stopped on the Lumberton two-
yard line and on the next play
Fullback McMillian crashed over
for a score through the center of
the line. Norton’s try for the point
was no good and the half ended
with the Bucks in front, 6-0.
When the teams came on the
field for the second haK the
Lumberton team began passing
and passing effectively. On a se
ries of passes they got the ball to
the Bucks’ eight-yard stripe. They
ed from that point on two
successive line plays. They then
made the extra point and took
over the lead, 7-6.
After receiving the next kick
off the Bucks travelled by ground
iSind air.to the LiumbertouJ^ yard
line. Then,'in what was perhaps
the most handsomely executed
play of the ball game Lee, on a
double reverse arouiid right end,
took the ball from Murray and
scored standing up. Alex Norton,
a5'0'-pound fullback, hit the line
for the extra point and made the
score 13-7 in favor of the home
team.
With only five minqtes left in
fhe game the visitors again took
to the air and scored, on a pass
that was good for 2'5 yards. The
attempted kick from placement
was no good and the game ended
13-13. -
This was the final game of the
season for Coach Faircloth’s boys.
They played nine games, winning
three, tying one and losing five.
Four of the teams played were
from Class A schools. Hoke High
is a Class B school.
