Black Knights Close Season
With 20-13 Win over Burgaw
By SHELDON SMOYER -I
The Queen Street football squad Saturday ground out
a 20-13 victory against surprisingly resistant C. F. Pope
School of Burgaw to close out the 1953 season.
Returning to the victory road after a 14-7 loss to Clinton,
the Black Knights closed the books on a 7-2 record.
The Knights scored in the first three periods while Bur
gaw scored in the final frame. The^
Knights showed their superiority
by an alert defense.
The line charged hard through
out the game, messing up many a
Burgaw play. The linebackers
charged to drop Burgaw backs that
were fortunate enough to penetrate
the Knights' forward wall.
Played (iood Defense
Showing a good defensive brand
of ball, the Black Knghts put up
an umbrella pass defense, while
protecting their own passer and
consistently getting behind Bur
gaw defenders.
Burgaw, evidently in the throes
of a bad night, was plaqued by bad
centering and mix-ups in the back
field. Decisions of Burgaw quar
terback Rosland Clarke could have
saved some prestige.
At times when the situation call
ed for a punt Clarke would elect
to gamble. Also, when recovering
a bad center the runner would try
a sweeping end run only to be
tripped up far short of the scrim
mage line.
Burgaw shook the Knights' foun
dation as it took the opening kick
off on its 20 and proceeded to
march in business-like fashion to its
32.
However, Lewis Wright, hard
plunging halfback, fumbled and the
Knights took over, marching down
field for the touchdown.
Covering the 32 yards in five
plays, with Floyd Hill rambling for
13 yards on the way, John Jones,
bruising fullback, knifed over left
guard from the 7 for the score. Mat
thew Godette's try for the extra
point was blocked.
Punts Exchanged
The rest of the first quarter was
a series of punt exchanges with
both teams digging up turf deep
in their own territory. Alvester
Meredith, Burgaw right tackle, was
Pro Versus
Duffer
By ED FURGOL
Pro, Westwood Country Club,
St. Louis, Mo.
In playing a pitch shot from
80 yards and less, a professional
golfer will invariably choose the
most lofted club in his bag, namely
a pitching wedge or sand iron.
He will gauge his swing accord
ing to the length of the shot.
The pro applies the Vardon or
interlocking grip, using a slightly
open stance with the right foot ad
vanced in front of tha left. He
plays the ball off his right heel and
lines up the ball with his objec
tive, addressing the club head and
ball toward his intended line of
flight.
At all times the professional
keeps his hands and arms close to
his body, starting his swing grad
ually on the inside. The hips start

He is always thrusting his swing

The average player doesn't
gauge his swing according tp the
distance of the shot, but swings
back abruptly with loose hands and
wrists, cauaing a lifting action
away from the ball. At no time is
the average player's tempo uni
form because his wrists break im
mediately away from the ball.
This causes a broken swing at
the start.

In the early moments of the
second quarter Queen Street again
marched on the ground for its sec
ond touchdown that covered 30
yards in two plays.
Dennet Walker, Burgaw fullback,
was forced to kick from his 10
after three rushes gained a minus
10 yards from the 20.
John Jones took the punt on the
Burgaw 30 and zig zagged his way
to the 15 where he was knocked
out of bounds. Jones took a hand
off from William Jordan, quarter
backing the Queen Street squad,
and scampered 15 yards over guard
for the second touchdown.
Runs Extra Point
Bernie Jones, Knight halfback,
ran the extra point and the
Knights led 13-0. Following the
kickoff Burgaw could get nowhere
so Wright elected to punt.
His kick was blocked on the 19
but Burgaw recovered. This time
the punt carried to the Queen
Street 40.
A spectacular catch of a Jordan
aerial by Curt Davis, right end,
gave the Knights a first down on
the 9 and the Knights were charg
ing again.
Jordan tried another heave, this
time to William White, left end,
but the pass was snatched by a
Burgaw man on the two-yard line.
Two plays later the half ended.
At the start of the third period
Burgaw couldn't do anything, punt
ing to the Queen Street 36. Twelve
plays later Queen Street had its
third and final touchdown.
Drive Spearheaded
Hill and the Jones boys spear
headed the drive with Hill ripping
off jaunts of 16 and 9 yards during
the march. Jordan went off the
left side on a spinner for 12 yards
putting the ball on the 3 with first
and goal to go.
