RESUME UE THE '45 SEASI1 On September 21, l945 Leeds Green Wave met their traditional rivals, the Red and Black Moun- taineers of Shades Cahaba in the first football classic of the season. Although the boys had prac- ticed early and late. Shades Cahaba's power was too much, and they fell by the score of 35 to l2. Beaten but undaunted, they prepped hard for their first game on home territory with the Mutes from Talladega. On September 28, when the final whistle blew, Smith had covered himself in glory by hitting pay dirt for two scores. Goss and Bailey shared the limelight with one score each. The Mutes fell by a score of 26 to 0. The Green Wave was rolling high when it trav- eled to meet the highly touted Gophers of Huey- town on October 5. The game was not as uneven as the score indicated. Slowed by the slippery turf, and their passing game hampered by a wet ball, the Green Wave went down in the mud 59 to 0. Another home game was played on October l2 when a muchly underrated Parrish High from Walker County met the boys in the green and white. The scoring punch of both teams was not working. due to the brilliant defensive play of the two lines. Parrish High threw several scares into Leeds followers but each time Leeds' great center, Cecil Davis, came into his own and saved the day. So a fighting Leeds eleven was held to a 0-to-0 tie. With spirit still high, the Green Wave travelled to South Alabama to meet one of the best teams in the State, Parrish High of Selma. The night was indeed black for Leeds. Smothered by a score of 45 to 0, the boys, led bv Captain Tom Lambert, played their best game of the season but could not hold out against fresh reserves Selma kept throw- ing into the game. On October 26, Leeds won its second game of the season when it downed Minor 7 to 6. The highlight of the game was when Nub Smith, Leeds' fullback, galloped 99 yards for the score. The following week, Leeds travelled to Talla- dega to play against the strong Talladega High School team. Cheered by the loyal Leeds fans who accompanied the team, the Green Wave played a hard-fought game but was overrun 28 to 0. On November 9, Leeds went a short distance to be beaten by a large score. Fairfield Tigers clawed their way through a fighting Leeds line, led by jack Laster, who refused to be denied their victory. When the whistle blew Leeds was on the short end of a 59 to O score. The homecoming game was the last and most important .The Green Wave rolled to a tremend- ous victory over their rival of rivals, Pell City Panthers. Led by Gerald Kincaid, the best little scat-back to play at Leeds in many years, the Green Wave finished a season made successful by their victory over Pell City, 25 to 7. Thus ended the saga of the great sport of football of I9-15.
