Central-28 - Bearden-6: The Bobcats chris- tened the 1954 gridiron season with a solid victory over the Bearden Bulldogs. Led by Barney Giddens, Ken Colquitt, Don McNeil, and Captain Bob Smith, the Red and Black eleven scored in every quarter. The outstand- ing play of the game appeared in the third quarter when Don McNeil scored with a 90-yard kickoff return. Central-45 - Lake City-0: Operating against an inexperienced Lake City squad, Central pushed to an early and permanent lead. Tailback Ken Colauitt accounted for all of the first half scoring by tallying three touch- downs. Barney Giddens, lack Roberts, Gil- bert Galyon, and Frank Kelley had a touch- down apiece accredited to them during the second half fracas. Their ground attack at top form, Central gained 379 yards to Lake City's 59. o senior leilermen Jerry Boston Bud Dyer End End Jim Darling Iay Ienkins Guard Tackle Central-0 - Bradley-7: Playing at Bradley, the Bobcats suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of a fine Bradley County team. The Cats marched downfield to the opposition's 5 and 20 yard lines in the f1rst and second quarters respectively, but both drives were halted by Bradley's sturdy line. Bradley scored in the last nine seconds of the third quarter and maintained the lead throughout the rest of the game. Central-12 - East-12: Plagued by blocked punts Central's attack bogged down on a wet, soqqy Evans-Collins Field. Ken Colquitt tallied in the first quarter on a spectacular 76-yard run from scrimmage. Don McNeil followed suit with another long run later in the same quarter, but it was called back because of a penalty. After East had con- verted two of Barney Gidderfs blocked punts into scores, the Bobcats fought back with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to gain the tie.
