Il rg' 'V' 'W'--an We ROBERT SCOTT BORDEN BELL OSCAR TUT ROZE Senior Senior Senior Future in 1960 Season Lack of height and shortage of experience proved to be a great handicap for the Devils throughout the season. The Big Blue wound up the year with one win against fifteen defeats. Some of the boys dropped out as the year progressed, leaving only eleven to finish the season. What we lacked in ability we made up in good sportsmanship. However, even this and the support of the local fans didn't prove quite enough in our tough QAA District Conference schedule. Gene Wofford was our new roundball coach. The season proved to be disappointing to him and his players, but there are greater hopes for next year as we graduate only three players. The B team played three games, and the boys showed some outstanding ability, although they didn't win any of their games. Easley pops basket behind Devil screen in Marion tilt.

WEST MEMPHIS I3 - BLYTHEVILLE 32 An undefeated Blytheville squad scored in every quarter to beat the improving Imps at Blytheville. The Imps scored on two kickoff returns by Tommy Spencer in the third and fourth periods. Skillman tries to elude a host of Jonesboro tacklers. Evans sweeps end in F. C. tilt. WEST MEMPHIS 6 - WYNNE 6 West Memphis Blue Imps played their best game of the season as they fought to a 6-6 tie with the Wynne Juniors. Tommy Spencer swept end iust before the half to put the Imps ahead. What would have been the winning touchdown for the fired-up West Memphians was nullified on a ques- tionable clipping penalty. WEST MEMPHIS O - FORREST CITY 32 Forrest City tallied in every period to defeat the Blue Imps by a lopsided score of 32-O. West Memphis drove to the Colts' seven before they were stopped cold by a rugged Forrest City defense. The Colts proved too much for the young and inexperienced Blue Imps. WEST MEMPHIS O - WHITEHAVEN 13 A tough team from Whitehaven was much surprised when the Imps played all out in their last game of the season. lt was to no avail as the Tigers scored with less than two minutes to go in the game on a punt return of 45 yards. Defense was the word to describe this game. Both squads held each other on numer- ous occasions. AL Imp defenders close in on Colonial runner 7l
