-we ,. ll il EDDIE MANNING FRANKIE MARTIN WEST MEMPHIS I9 - BLYTHEVILLE 7 The West Memphis Blue Devils ended their season on the right note by upsetting the Blytheville Chicks of the Big Nine Conference in a Turkey Day game at Friendship Field. For the first touchdown of the game Flanagan intercepted a lateral and took the pigskin 70 yards for the marker. McCarley converted and the Blue Devils were off to victory. The Big Blue led 7-0 at the close of the first half. A few seconds after the opening of the last period Scott hit Anglea who had gotten behind his defenders for a 70 yard play. McCarley's try for the point was wide. The Chicks drove 50 yards on short runs by Waldrup who went in for the TD. A fumble on the kickoff by West Memphis sparked another drive for Blythe- ville, but a fourth down pass was intercepted by Boze on his own I5 and from that point he galloped all the way for the final touch- down making the score read I9-7 at the end of the game.
