FOOTBALL ALEX CITY 25 Opelika 0 Alexander City, Ala., Oct. 10, 1941.— Opelika proved to be no match for the powerful Wildcats in the fourth game of the season. Fresh from a victory over Sylcauga, the Wildcats continued to roll, faking Opelika, 25-0. REST!!!! Alexander City, Ala., Oct. 13-18 —Fair Week provided rest at last for the Wildcats. (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. The Highland Home team furnished little opposition however, and the Wildcat substitutes played most of the game.

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.

In such a condition, the Wild- cats were defeated for the first and last time of the season. ALEX CITY 21 PHENIX CITY 12 Alexander City, Ala., Nov. 14, 1941.— Out to avenge the defeat of the past week, the Wildcats began a strong offensive and out-scored Phenix City 21-12 in the second and last afternoon game. ALEX CITY 9 DADEVILLE 0 Dadeville, Ala., Dec. 3, 1941,—On one of the coldest nights of the year, the Wild- cats packed their uniforms and rode over to Dadeville. This was the first time in many years that Dadeville had played host to an Alex City team, and it was the Wildcat's first game on Tallapoosa County High's new field.
