GASTON WINS THIRD OVER RAGLAND 19-O Gaston took the kickoff and mounted a drive at the Bulldog 28. They moved to the Ragland 30 with a 21-yard sprint by Jackson the big effort. Here Gaston fumbled and Rag- land recovered. However, on the Devils' first scrimmage play they fumbled and center Billy Alford recovered. End Wayne Cash ran from the 26 to the 16 on an end-around. Stokes carried to the five Jackson to the four, and Stokes scored. Davis ran the point. Gaston went out at halftime nursing a 7-0 lead. Alford blocked a punt and end Larry Guffey recovered on the Ragland 24 to set up Gas- ton's second touchdown in the third quarter. Davis went to the 20 and Jackson to the 15. David got seven in two tries and Jackson added seven more to place the ball on the one. Stokes sneaked in from there. Stokes' running attempt for the PAT failed and it was 13-0. Stokes and Cash combined on a 34-yard pass play in the third period to set up the final touchdown. The pass put the ball on the Ragland six. Jackson went over from there. Stokes' passing attempt for the point-after was no good. The entire Gaston line showed well with Cash and tackle Mack Davis making a large share of the tackles. A capacity crowd filled Gaston 's tiny stadium to watch the home team win.
