Dickie Idol Sets Rushing Yardage At the half, the score is tied 7-7, but the surprises are still in store. The East defense, responsible for our victory, continues to press North’s back Allen Dunnagan and finally forces the Vikings, a running team, to the air. Early in the fourth period Dunnagan drops back to pass on a third-down situation. There he has a brief but forceful encounter with half of the East line; he is so glad to meet the famous Eagles that he drops his football. Kenneth Weavil, a courteous 225-pound East tackle, retrieves the forsaken pigskin and politely runs it for Dunnagan. But, alas, the big dumb football player runs the wrong way and 6 points are given to East. Who will ever forget the sight of Weavil lumbering down . the field followed by half the East team as the bewildered Vikings stare!? To suitably round out such an e x- hibition, Dick Idol runs 30 yards on the last play of the game and steps into the end zone just as the buzzer sounds. Before the Eagles can collect them- selves to attempt the extra points, they are mobbed as exhilarated fans flood the field like ants pouring out of a crack. Page: After trailing 6-0 the first three periods, East comes back to win its first inter-conference game. Page takes the lead in the first quar- ter as Dickie Davis’ knee gives way and the Pirates recover our fumble. Davis is out for the season. Jim Van- hoy intercepts a Page aerial on the East 40 to stop one drive while Ron Vineyard recovers their fumble on our 18. The second and third quar- ters prove to be defensive battles; however, the Eagles’ offense bursts loose in the fourth quarter as Dick Idol speeds over right tackle in a 50 yard spurt for a touchdown. Follow- ing two more drives, Idol sweeps right end for the last score and a 12- 6 Eagle Victory.

The Headhunters continue to jar the Grimsley backs until they fumble on their own 49 yard-line. The Eagles start a 49 yard march to the 2 yardline where Charlie Jones plunges over for an East touchdown. Lew Ayers kicks the extra point to make the score 14-7. The Eagles are too far behind to pull out, and we drop our first game of the season 27-7. North Forsyth: Due to rain the “Battle of the Giants” is played on Monday night, increasing the antici- pation of 6,000 screaming fans packed into Bowman Gray Stadium. The ensuing battle proves that a team whose fans cannot spell its name (who will forget the North “Vickings”?) cannot beat the mighty Eagles. North dominates the offens- ive handling of the ball; whenever the Vikings approach the East goal, our determined line crushes them. The East defense led by Poindexter, Vanhoy, Idol, and Shouse stops the Northern invaders no less than five times as they drive to the PAY BA SF 2 and 13 yardlines. The only North score comes on a lucky break we give them when East fumbles on the 12 yardline. The Eagles take advantage of every opp ortunity to score. With 10:14 left in the first half, East’s first touchdown comes when our star pass interceptor, George Shouse, breaks in front of North’s end Harvey Bauguess and steals the ball. A block from Tony Larrimore sets Shouse up for a 45 yard sprint and the long-awaited touchdown.

Last year the Davidson team upset the Eagles 9-6 on a field goal, dampening East’s Homecoming ceremonies. This vic- tory is the third straight for East and all three have been by one touch- down margins. George Shouse, Rob- ert Poindexter, Ken Weavil, and Tony Larrimore play an outstand- ing defensive game. The game leaves East a 5-1 record thus far in the season. Leonard Brady Jim Buckner Center End Burlington Williams: Burlington deals East a rugged 4-A defense which the Eagles cannot overcome and hands us a 81-13 defeat. The tough Bulldogs’ line is unable to con- tain the Eagles’ brilliant running Idol, who crashes the line for a 55 yard run for a touchdown. Two Bur- lington touchdowns later, Dick runs a reverse for a 19 yard score. The defeat gives East a 5-2 overall rec- ord but we remain victorious in con- ference battles.
