mm . MAIDEN HIGH Coach Tom couragement to his team as they Holbrook at Huss Stadium. . . LIONS BITE DEVILS 27 - 0 It Was lust One if Those By ARNOLD CURTIS Editor.The Times Tom Brown can change his underwear now. That is about the only thing good to come out of Friday night's game with the Holbrook Lions at Huss Sta dium in Gastonia. The Maiden Blue Devils went into the game with the spirit they have met and defeated eleven previous teams this season. Following a brief flurry of activity in the first quarter when Maiden threatened to score, it was Holbrook' s ball game. It looked like Maiden was going to get on the board when Barry Spake passed 34 yards to halfback Allen Bandy. The play carried toHolbrook's nine, but four plays later, Maiden was back to the 23rd, and, sub sequently, without the ball. It was hard to do anything but talk football after Maiden ran through Beaver Creek last week. Everyone was keyed up and their remarks were all about the same. Maiden could do no wrong and Beaver Creek couldn't do anything right. Reports were that Maiden was the underdog and Beaver Creek was favored to win. This week Holbrook wa s the underdog and Maiden would win. Everyone expected Maiden to win the game and the way it looked from all reports, they would. When Holbrook came on the field Friday night, they had two things going for them. First, they knew they would have to play and play their very best to win. Second, they had Alan Royston. Royston only weighs 140 pounds, but to quote the Char lotte Observer, he was worth his weight in gold Friday night. It Is unusual to see a player of Roystons size perform as he did on Friday night. It is obvious that he has been doing this well for quite a while. Not to Uke any credit away from the other ten players on the team, but Royston was a one man show. He was just about impossible to find for the Maiden players.

UP 'he Blue Devils last Friday. Nights When he got the ball and started it moving, he cover ed a lot of ground before our Blue Devils realized where he was and what was happening. Spirits have been high in Maiden for the past few weeks and following last week's game against Beaver Creek, the thought hadn't entered, my mind that Maiden could lose to Holbrook. No one expected us to lose this week. Last week a lot of people had a feeling that Beaver Creek might just take us. Odds were that they would, but this week, it just wasn't in the cards that we could lose. Even if we lost to Holbrook, we're the same team that play ed against Beaver Creek the week before, and ten other teams before them and won every game without a lot of trouble. We're just as great as we were before Friday night and everyone in Maiden knows that. We have a team we are proud of and want every mem ber of the squad to know we feel this way. How many teams have brought their townas much recognition as the Blue Devils have brought Maiden? I would like to speak for Maiden as a whole, we're proud of the 1969 Blue Devils and we are great ful to Tom Brown and Lanny Shelton for taking our youthand molding them into the cham pions they are. I mentioned at the beginning of this article that one good thing came out of the Friday night game. Actually, there were two good things. Gary Henry, Line Coach at Holbrook, will be able to come home again. He had made the statement that if he didn't beat Maiden on Friday night he wouldn't be able to come home for a long time. The reason for this statement is simple to explain. Gary was born and raised in Maiden and was a Blue Devil for four years. I am sure he had mixed emo tions on Friday night. Congratulations, Gary, you and Bob Jones are to be com mended on your championship team. We are looking forward to having you visit Maidenagain. Mr. Walter Brady was pre sented the Veterans Certificate for 30 years in scouting. Advancement is the key to success for the boys. "One of the greatest sources of pride for a Scoutmaster comes when he has led a boy to the summit of scouting, attainment of the Eagle Rank." Nine Scout masters were recognized for leading one or two members of their troops to Eagle rank ing. Moreh and Company and Belk-Broome Co. were pre sented certificates of appre ciation for their services in supplying the boys with uni forms and other necessary scouting equipment. Members of the press, radio, and television receiving certifi cates of appreciation were: ra dios, WNNC, WTRC, WKHY, 1 WSPF; television WHKY; and news media, Hickory Dally Record, Observer News Enter prise, and The Maiden Times.
