Murphy Elementary Lunchroom Satur* The first half ended with Murphy again knocking at the door but time caught them at the eleven and the first half ended with the score tied 7-7. At the beginning of the sec ond half. Cole's kick was short and Hayesville put the ball in play on their 47. They then failed to pick up the first down and Moore kicked out of bounds on the Murphy 21. The first play from scrim mage saw Donald Stiles pick up twenty-one yards and a first down. In the second series of play it was fourth and three when Waymon was called in to kick. He once again got off a beauti ful kick that carried to the Yellow Jacket five yard line, where Rockwell fumbled the kick and Murphy recovered in the end zone for another six points. Watson's pass for the extra point failed. With Sellers, Moss, Rock well, Running and Moore catching passes, the Jackets moved to the Murphy fifteen. After two incomplete pas ses, with Rockwell picking up two yards, a pass from Sel lers to Moore was good in the end zone but was nullified with an offside penalty against Hayesville. This is where the drive bog ged down and Murphy took over on their own fifteen. With Stiles, Stevens, Cole and Watson moving the ball good in the third quarter, the Bulldogs were in posses sion on their own 39. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Jimmy Cole broke through the Hayes ville line and ran 61 yards for a touchdown and Watson ran the PAT. In Hayesville's next drive, they picked up three first downs, carrying to the Bull dog 25, then lost the ball on a fumble. Lyle Martin recov ered and Murphy once again took advantage of another break and marched downfield to pay dirt for their final wily of the night. Watson's run for the extra point was no good. The game ended with the Bulldogs in front 26-7. The entire backfield for Hayesville played good ball and with a few of die breaks going their way, the final score might have been in their favor. The line play of the Yellow Jackets was probably their best showing thus far this year. For Murphy, the punt ing by Waymon was again out standing, kicking the Bulldogs out of trouble several times. The running by Cole, Stiles, and Stevens, and at times by Watson, looked good.
