ORANGE 4 BLACK P«B 8 Orioles Defeat Ledgers 7-2 Charlotte Wins Second Victory of Year Playing under lights for the first time this year, the Charlotte grid- dera defeated the Grand Ledge Comets 7 to 2 Friday night. The first half of the game was mostly a punting duel. Grand Ix dge however, managed to keep the Char- lotte gridders well bark in their own territory. The ledgers were on Charlotte’s four yard line once, but were unsuccessful in getting the ball over. As a result of the closely fought first half, the score remained 0 to 0 at the end of the second frame. At the beginning of the second half, both team showed new deter- mination to push the pigskin over the goal line. The Orioles received the kick-off on their own 40 yard line. Charlotte made a first down but the ledgers tightened up. Char- lotte was forced to kick to Grand Ledge's own 20 yard line. No yard- age was made by the Ledgers and when they attempted to kick out of danger on their third down, several members of the Charlotte team broke through to block It; Lee Wendell re- covering for the Orioles on Grand Ledge's 20 yard line. Becchler then advanced the ball up to about the ten yard line on a nice run off- tackle. On the next play Stringham threw the touch-down pass to Fowler making the score 6 to 0. Beechler kicked the extra point making the score 7 to 0. Grand l edge made several threats in the last quarter but was only able to gain a safety on a fumble by Char- lotte on their own 10 yard line. The Ledgers, after receiving the kick-off after the safety, returned the ball far Oriole leathers Hob Gunnison will lie eligible for only three gameH this season. His birthday in October will prevent his continuation. LET'S The Charlotte line averages 155 pounds which is light. The backfield averages 141 pounds which is lighter. Conclusion: Charlotte has a light team. GO In the game with Lakeview: Charlotte was penalized only twice during the game. Once for off-sides and another time for backfield iu motion. TO Bud Beechler ran 58 yards for u touchdown, after intercepting a Luke- view pass in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. Speed , as he is called now. was really hoofing it. MASON Although Lakeview outgained Char- lotte 179 to 165 yards rushing, our Orioles more than made up for this in their pass.ng. The Charlotte eleven completed eight out of 16 passes at- tempted for 90 yards: to Lakeview's two completed out of five thrown for only nine yards. TOMORROW Coach Gobel didn't think much of his team's blocking and tuckling at Lakeview. He called the game a poor exhibition of football.’’ Let's watch for improvements of the team in these two fundamentals as the sea- son progresses. Meet the Ends May you become acquainted with: Dwight Haines. Jack Hicks. Robert Klaiss. and Leland Wendell, because they play a very important part on your football team. They are the ends: Dwight commonly known as Pete, and Jack are on the first team, and Rob and Leland arc on the second. Pete, number 33. is 5 ft. 9 in. and weighs 135 lbs. A senior, has one letter in football, and this is his third year out. Hob. number 38. Is 5 ft. Sty in. and weighs 137 lbs. A Junior, and this is his second year out. Jack, number 47. is 6 ft. 1 in. and weighs 157 lbs. A junior, and this is his second year out. Leland, number 50. Is 6 ft. and weighs 159 lbs. A junior, and this Is his second year out. Pete’s smile will be cast on every one of you at some time or another, so watch for It: It's Bob who looks up at you in the corner of his eyes, so you’ll know him: Jack has those uncontrolable legs that seem to al- ways be in the way: and Leland is the big fellow that is usually all tired out. and wanting sleep. These ends are commonly forgot- ten. so the next time the team is out on the field, why don't you look up number 33. 38. 47. 50. Orioles Defeat Lakeview 13-6 In Hard Fought Game The Charlotte high school football team defeated the Lakeview team by a score of 13 to 6. Saturday, Septem- ber 21. The Lakeview gridders gave coach Gobel of Charlotte, the jitters, by scor- ing the first touchdown of the game from the 10 yard line on Weeder’s left end run. Lakeview led by 6 points having missed the extra point. Charlotte tallied early in the third quarter on a 30-yard pass from String- ham to Hicks, standing in the end- zone. tying the score. Charlotte also failing to convert the extra point. Beechler made what proved to be the winning touchdown, running an intercepted pass in the last five min- utes of the fourth quarter, back 54 yards to score. Beechler then con- verted the extra point. The final score was Charlotte 13; Lakeview 6. Lansing Central Defeats C. H. S. Cross Country The Charlotte cross country team was defeated by the Lansing Central cross country team 24-31.
