Records As He Gains 1334 Yards Lew Ayers Jaycee’s Blocking Trophy End Mike Biles Guard North Davidson: Dick Idol scores both of East’s touchdowns on runs of 3 and 44 yards giving the Eagles a 14-7 revenge victory. 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.

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.

High Point Central — The loss of this game is probably not as bad as the loss of our end Bob Randall. Randall breaks his leg as he is tackled after a 12 yard run around right end in the second period. Homecoming rituals are carried out under a clouded spirit of anxiety. The outmanned Eagles fight valiantly but cannot halt High Point’s drive. The Eagles are able to score three times with an offense led, as usual, by Dick Idol. Idol scores twice on runs of 29 and 2 yards; Jimmy Vanhoy scores in Dickie Idol the last period on a 85 yard run, Halfback giving East a 35-19 defeat. Most Valuable Player TOUCHDOWN!
