FOOTBALL ALEX CITY 33 WEDOWEE 0 Alexander City, Ala., Sept. 19, 1941,— The Alex City High School team went onto the field against Wedowee's hopelessly out- classed team for their first game of the sea- son. The Wildcats were alert and took ad- vantage of every break to win their first victory. This easily won game gave the substitutes an opportunity to gain valuable experience. ALEX CITY 25 Prattville 0 Alexander City, Ala., Sept. 26, 1941,— In their second game of the season, the Wildcats met Prattville. Although defeated, the boys from Autauga County gave strong- er opposition than the score would indi- cate. ALEX CITY 25 Sylacauga 0 Alexander City, Ala., October 3, 1941.— According to pre-game predictions, the Alex City eleven should have received its first defeat by the Sylacauga team with which they had fought to a 0-0 deadlock in 1940; however when the dust and smoke of the battle had cleared away the Wildcats were 25 points ahead. Captain Hawkins was in- jured in the first few minutes of play.

(Yeah, rest at last—with twenty-five laps for each night at the fair and there proved to be many, many laps.) Tch! . . . Tch! Alex City 33 Crenshaw Co. 13 Alexander City, Ala., Oct. 24, 1941,—For the first time of the season an Alex City opponent scored.
