LAUREL 24-GEORGETOWN 0 The Laurel High Bulldogs opened their season with a big growl, defeating Georgetown. The Bulldogs were strong on both offense and defense. The Golden Knights never penetrated the Bulldogs, 20 yard line. The Laurel attack was led by ,lack Cropper with two touchdowns while Anthony Dulis and ,lon Beckom each hit pay dirt once. The Bulldogs appeared off to another good season with this victory. LAUREL 14-CAMBRIDGE 7 Laurel visited Cambridge for a game which de- veloped into a stubborn battle by both teams before the game was concluded. Doug Hastings put Laurel into an early lead when he went around the right end for 14 yards and a Laurel score. A blocked punt by Pete Phillips on the Cambridge 17 yard line set up the next score. Two plays later, Wayne Lowe plunged over the goal line from one yard out. This game was characterized by strong line play by the Bulldogs. ' ANNAPOLIS 28-LAUREL 12 The Annapolis Panthers proved to be too much for the Bulldogs as they ended Laurel's undefeated string. Although the Laurel boys hit hard and moved the ball for two touchdowns, they were unable to outscore Annapolis. ,lack Cropper scored the Bull- dogs' T.D.'s on short runs after marches of 70 and 55 yards. WICOMICO 33-LAUREL 0 The Bulldogs fell before a superior Wicomico-team lead by Billy Walston, who scored four of the Indians' touchdowns. Although the Laurel team tried to make the game a battle, they couldn't penetrate past their opponent's 30 yard line. The game was characterized by sharp blocking and tackling by both teams, but the Bulldogs couldn't stop the Wi-Hi attack.

Continued DOVER 19-LAUREL 6 The Laurel Bulldogs were favored to return to their winning ways at the expense of Dover. How- ever, the Senators surprised and outscored Laurel. The Bulldogs took a 6-0 lead on Wayne Lowe's 15 yard pass to J ack Ellis for the score. But Dover scored 3 touchdowns in the second half to score their first win over Laurel in 3 years. CAESAR RODNEY 14-LAUREL 6 This game was played in a driving rain storm and, therefore, the playing of both teams was under par. Laurel was also handicapped by the loss of Wayne Lowe and Anthony Dulis, both backs, due to injuries obtained during the previous week. Pete Phillips played quarterback for the Bulldogs. Bob Miller scored for the first time and Laurelis only touchdown as the Bulldogs again lacked sufficient scoring power. LAUREL 0-SEAFORD 0 A higher favored and confident Seaford team was held to a scoreless tie by an inspired Bulldog team in the annual Thanksgiving Day game. The underdog Laurel team surprised Seaford by controlling the ball most of the game. The Laurel line, led by Clarke Abbott, All-State Center, was outstanding, crashing through the Seaford defense continuously, and keep- ing Seaford beyond Laurel's 20 yard line. A third- quarter touchdown by Jon Beckom was nullified by a penalty. Although the game actually ended in a scoreless tie, Laurel fans considered it a moral vic- tory, and Laurel ended the season with two wins, four losses, and one tie. FIRST TEAM Bobby Gootee. Jay Windsor, George Elliott, and Bob Miller. Q I K .
