Winthrop Training
Defeats Taylors

Outstanding QB Thomas Pitcher
ran and passed his team to a com-
manding 34-0 lead over the Tay-
lors High Eagles as the first half
climaxed at the Winthrop Stad-
ium.

The Eagles only show of spirit
appeared as Tommy Edwards, sec-
ond string HB sprinted 75 yards,
behind the interference of Jimmy
Turner and David Arledge, on the
opening kick-off of the second half.

The Taylors second team played
most of the final half with Stuart
Gilmer and Don Simmons leading
their defense.

Lamar Wakefield and David Ar-
ledge played well for the first unit.

The Eagles offense lacked spark
and was held mostly in its own
territory throughout the game. Tal-
lying three times in the third and
fourth quarters Winthrop Training
finished the contest, 54-6.

---------------------------

BR Tigers Win
Over Eagles, 33-14

Early in the first quarter the
Blue Ridge High Tigers scored on
a 55 yard run and added the PAT
to take a quick 7-0 lead over the
Taylors Eagles.

The defense failed to click for
the Taylors team as the Tigers tal-
lied thrice more in the first half.
But as the minutes were running
out HB Walter White moved the
ball to the one yard line in two
carries before being removed due
to an injury. From here QB Jerry
Johnson pushed over for the TD
with a pass from Carlisle to Ross
making the extra point.

Holding Blue Ridge to single
score the Taylors eleven worked
well in the second half on both of-
fense and defense. Backs Carlisle,
Batson, and B. Johnson running
hard put the ball on the one yard
line where QB J. Johnson sneaked
the final yard. Plemmons split the
uprights for his second PAT of
the game putting the score to 26-
14.

Freshman Billy Turner, substi-
tuting for his injured brother, Jim-
my, led the defensive wall with
eight individual tackles.

End Larry Vaughn and fullback
Johnny Carlisle were also outstand-

[Column 5]

Wren Wins 13-0

Many vigorous attempts died in-
side the 15-yard line as the Tay-
lors High Team met the Wren High
Squad.

The first drive for Taylors end-
ed on the 11 yard line as the Eag-
les fumbled giving Wren the ball.

With the Taylors defense strong
in the first period, the Wren team
failed to move out of their own
territory and the latter lost the
ball on downs.

Taking the "pigskin" inside
Wren's 50 yard line, the Eagles
once again executed a vigorous
drive, this time to the three yard
line, ending as bad breaks fell
their way. The half ended 0-0.

Second half play proceded with
Wren turning the cards to domi-
nate the scrimmage with two quick
scores in the 4th quarter. One off
a five-yard plunge, and the other
from a 35-yard pass play. Succeed-
ing in one PAT attempt the latter
won the game 13-0.
