Reynolds: East Forsyth’s share of the 6,000 fans in Bowman Gray Stadium has little to cheer about in the first half as Rey- nolds’ Tom English and associ- ates smash the Eagles’ line. The big 4-A eventual State Cham- pions are unstoppable, giving the East offense few chances with the ball. A misleading final score of 28-7 does not reveal the second half battle in which Reynolds has to fight a spirited East defense led by Charles Roberts. Finally, late in the fourth period, the Eagle offense shows a flicker of : ; ; Kim Newsom life following the fourth Demon End touchdown.

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!

Lawrence Swaim Jim Turner Guard Halfback West: The Eagles snapped out of a three gam e losing streak to clench its third straight 3-A Conference Championship, defeating West 27-19. Dick Idol, workhorse of the East offense, once again leads the Eagles to victory. Although he makes no touchdowns, he carries the ball 26 times for 145 yards against a scrappy West defense. East establishes a 14-13 lead early in the game on a 19 yard run by Jimmy Vanhoy and a 6 yard pass to Tim Long from quarterback Harold Hemmings. In the third quarter fullback Rick Hellard makes a 70 yard run to the West 2 yardline. On the next play, he scored on a 2 yard plunge. West has not given up and in the fourth period scores from the one yardline. The extra point attempt fails, though, and leaves the Eagles with a one point lead. To combat the challenging West offense, Dick Idol blasts through the right side of the West line and sprints 60 yards fo the end zone; however, his scoring run is nullified by a clipping penalty. The penalty leaves the Eagles on the West 31 with little time remaining. Five plays later, Harold Hemmings throws a pass to Tim Long who is sep- arated from any Titan by 10 yards. Dick Idol adds the fin- ishing touch with his third extra-point run of the night.
