U I I I l Re Um l 9' l 'O FULTON-I3 . . . YOUNG-6 . . . The Falcons opened the season with an impressive win over Young. The play of the game was disrupted by faulty ball-handling resulting in many fumbles. Don Lobertini scored twice and was ably assisted by Glen Keeton. De- fensive standouts were Jim Harrington and Bob Norris. Bill Rook suffered a dislocated shoulder and was lost for the greater part of the season. FULTON-48 . . . FARRAGUT-0 . . . Admiral Farragut went down with his ship to the score of 48-0 as Coach Wildman turned the Falcon Squad loose on the undermanned and out-fought Admirals. Everybody got into the act as Lobertini scored two T.D.'s, Keeton, two, Satterfieldg Wilson, and Edwards, one each. FULTON-33 . . . BEARDEN-7 . . . Glen Keeton and Jerry Yearwood led the Falcons to a 33-7 victory over the highly-respected Bearden Bulldogs. Lobertini was side-lined but Keeton more than replaced him at tailback. The climax of the game was the scoring of three quick T.D.'s in the last half. Keeton led the scoring with three T.D.'s He was aided by Yearwood with one and Stephens with one on a blocked kick. As a result of Keeton's rampage, he was selected State Player of the Week. FULTON-19 . . . ERWIN-6 Caught napping by a speedy, Split-T Erwin team, the Falcons fought from behind to win a roughly played game 19-6. Paced again by Keeton and Yearwood and a fine defensive line, the Falcons more than met the challange. Yearwood, Keeton, and Lobertini each scored one touch- down. FULTON-21 . . . JEFFERSON CITY-7 . . . Cool weather and streaks of impotency hobbled Fulton against the Jefferson High Elks. After they finally got to rolling, the score ended a respectable 21-7. One encourag- ing fact for the Elks, however, was that they scored their first T.D. of the season. Keeton hogged the show with three touchdowns. FULTON-6 . . . RULE-20 . . . This one was just too inhuman or was it too much Human? Yearwood tallied for us first, that's all! From then on it was iust too much Golden Bears. Led by Human and a defensive line land a halfh Rule dominated play. This seemed to be their day and were they taking advantage of it. Our offense was impotent and the defense only slightly less so. FULTON-6 . . . CENTRAL-0 . . . Them county boys liked to have handed us another'n. This'n was really tough. Only in the fourth quarter did we get the break we needed. Norris recovered a fumble, Bob Foust executed a beautiful pitch-out to Keeton on the next play, and he set sail to the Central 6. From there we scored in two plays. That was it! FULTON-41 . . . DAYTON-15 . . . With smog in their eyes, Fulton defeated Dayton to the tune of 41-T5. Everybody got into the act again as Keeton, Foust, each scored one and Dyer and Yearwood each got two. The Yellow Jackets baffled the Falcons with the T again, although we solved it to the Jackets downfall. FULTON-26 . . . WEST-i3 Two quick T.D.'s in T3 seconds of the first half is all that kept a fired-up West crew from upsetting the home team. They threw everything they had - eight and nine man lines, T formations, and a surprising I formation - in an ef- fort to upset their bigger cousins from across town. Scoring were: Keeton on a buck, Dyer on an intercepted pass, and Lobertini, with two, on a pass and a reverse. FULTON-9 . . . EAST-7 . . . Boy's this was it and was it tough! This game was good old rock 'em-sock 'em football with a little spice thrown in by East's attempted razzle-dazzle formations. When the smoke had settled and firing ceased, we were on the big end of o 9-7 score due to Glenn Keeton's T.D.: Yearwood's block of Cox's kick, resulting in a safety, and a fine defensive game on the part of the whole team. This was the big'un and cinched the trophies shown at the top of the page. GENE COX
