IIIIIL- -Y ll .- Y .ati .. .ll Fulton 13. Rule 12 Capt. Bob Evars' big left toe was the difference in this one as he kicked the fourth-quarter extra point that broke the Golden Bear's back. Bayless was the big gun, while Harrington and Bryson were terrific on defense. Fulton 0 Central 12 Another bad one. Two long gains and sterling offensive play by All-Southern David Emory was just too much for us poor little Falcons. Still, with a few breaks, this one could have gone either way. Fulton 21 Morristown 19 This one rested on Benjamin Dyer's strong right arm, and he came through beautifully. Bayless caught 'em all night in sub-freezing weather, while Yearwood went like a wild bull. The game was just as close as the score implies. Fulton 14- West 7 This one was rather tough. Battling from behind, the Falcons squeaked past their west-side rivals on the strength of Bob Foust's air arm. These Rebels are getting tougher every year. Fulton 7 East 14- We lost the City Championship on this game. Mickey Ellenburg and Bob Small, Basketballers, proved too tough for the Falcon charges. A last two second TD broke up a tie game brought on by the Foust-to- Bayless combo. The last of a great season. Managers-Left to Right: Pat Baker, Charles Harrell, Gordon Kitts 93

Sharp, Football Coach Charles Wildman Basketball Coach akon Padma- 7 955 Fulton 25 Young 6 The start of a very successful season was played in 80-plus weather, and the Falcons were as hot as the thermometer. Leading the conquest of the cross-town yellowjackets were Benny Dyer and Ronnie Peake. Fulton 25 Sparta 0 This was perhaps our most impressive victory. Yearwood tore the Sparta line to shreds, and when he was stopped, Dyer made like Gilmer and hit Bayless with pass after pass. Just too much Falcon. Fulton 46 Bearden 13 One word would explain this victory over the under-manned Bulldogs-Rose. The little U45 lb.l halfback directed his second string charges to four touchdowns, scoring three himself. Peake was in the supporting role. Fulton 19 LaFollette 0 This one was tough. Played in heavy mud, the Falcons scored 19 points in the first half and then bogged down in the slime. This was LaFollette's first loss in 21 starts. Fulton 19 Jefferson City 28 Ouchl All East-Tennessee Jimmy fMule'J Noe really lived up to his press clippings in this one. He scored two touchdowns, set up another on a breakaway run, and kicked all four extra points. Dyer was tops for us. 92
