.fi 2 VAUGHAN EVERSYSCIUOI' Charles Peatross runs interference for Bo Campbell for Byrd's second touchdown of the yes Halfback-Letterman II against Sulphur, BYRD-28 SULPHUR-0 Memorial Stadium, Sulphur, September 13 Unleashing a quartet of powerful fast-moving backs, the Yellow Jackets smashed the Sulphur Golden Tornadoes 28-0. Byrd ground out 400 yards before 5,000 fans, leaving no doubt that the Yellow Jackets' would be the team to beat in Class AAA grid play this year. Although the Jackets made several fumbles, they made up for it with their splendid teamwork. The first Byrd tally came in the first quarter on an off tackle run.of 84- yards by Charles Peatross. Grantham Couch then converted the first of four perfect placements. Byrd's second score came early in the second quarter when Bo Campbell broke through right tackle for 27 yards to cross the Tor goal line. The third Byrd touchdown came near the end of the third quarter on a four-yard dash by Jo Jo Pittman. The final scoring of the night came when Byrd center Robei Shemwell fell on a blocked Sulphur punt in the Tornado en zone. It was a case of weight, experience, determination, an drive that carried Byrd to an impressive victory.

FOOTBALL 1957 Powerful. fast. and agile are the ad- jectives whieh descrilie the l957 Byrd High Yellow Jackets. The Jackets rolled to decisive victories over their first four opponents before falling victims to per- haps the two strongest teams in the state, lstrouma and Baton Rouge. Coming back strong in their next three outings, they defeated Ouachita, Bastrop, and Spring- hill. The victories over West Monroe and Ouachita enahled the Jackets to meet the Fair Park Indians on Thanksgiving Day to decide the lAAA District Champion- ship. The Yellow Jackets met a tribe of inspired Indians who did everything right. Although the Jackets outrushed the Indians they came out on the short end of a 12-7 score. Thus we finished the season with a 7 and 3 record. 1957 TARTI G ELEVE Line: Joe Zaffater. Hartie Spence, Merritt Chastain, Robert Shemwe-ll, Larry Ramhin. Bohhy Hamm, Murray Johnston.
