The 1934 Fricassee 5= SCRUB FOOTBALL TEAM PROUD PUPS: Coach ••Fuzzy” Brown’s 1933 scrub football team was no exception to the long line of champion scrub teams. It was composed mostly of boys who had never before played organized football. However, this was made up for by their tenacious ana willing spirit. They upheld the annual tradition of all the Bullpup elevens by defeating the Bolton Cubs from Alexandria. Louisiana, by a score of 7 to 0. During their season they defeated the Junior High School twice. St. Francisville once, and bowed only to the strong and more powerful State Deaf Institute in one game. The scrub material from 1933 should be a great asset to the 1934 Bulldog varsity. MILE RELAY TEAM The most outstanding feature of the State rally was the breaking of the mile relay record on a slow, wet track. Having drawn the fifth lane in which to exchange the baton, the Bulldogs were put to an extra disadvantage. However, the team composed of Larry Landry-. B. W. Wax. Frank Lewis and Kenner Day were not to be stopped by the bad breaks. They ran second to Istrouma until Captain Day took the baton, on even terms with the Indian anchor man. The final lap was a thriller, with Kenner breasting the tape many yards ahead of the held for a new State record of 3 32.1. bettering the old record by a full second.
