Panther’s Move by Air. Practice—We Love It!!! GLEN ALLEN 37—FALMOUTH 6 Glen Allen made its second trip to Fredericksburg and while there rolled to its fourth victory, achieved by walloping the Falmouth Indians 37-6. Long runs and well executed pass plays featured the Panther attack as the Red and Blue scored 3 times in each half. The entire Panther squad participated in this fray as the team prepped for its annual game with Highland Springs. GLEN ALLEN 14—HIGHLAND SPRINGS 7 The Panther team was not up to par for its annual clash with the Springers but managed to eke out a 14-7 victory. No doubt a three weeks lay off had caused the squad to lose some of its sharpness, for the club looked very ragged in the contest played before 6,500 fans in City Stadium. A poor first half saw the teams leave the field in a 7-7 deadlock with the Panther score coming on a 53-yard gallop by Tinsley. A stormy session in the dressing room returned the Red and Blue to tip top form for they held the Highlanders to minus yardage the second half and allowed them no first downs. We also managed to push over one touchdown in the 4th period to provide the margin of victory. This game was marked by its bruising style of play with some of the best tackling ever seen on the Stadium sod. Both teams played hard and rough football but the Panthers had just a shade better of the battle. GLEN ALLEN 54—CULPEPER 12 Playing before a sparse crowd of 1,500 in bitter cold weather the Red and Blue football machine blazed its way to its largest score of the season when they smashed Culpeper 54-12. There was action a-plenty as the team gave the fans some of the best football of the season. Every member of the Panther squad played in this contest and scores were tallied by Tinsley, Clinard, Trice, Dalton, Cristolph, Vaughan and Jackson. The Bruiser, Bruises!! Tinsley Scores!! [96 J

K. VAUGHAN Tinsley, Dalton and Thacker Around End “All the way—52” Against Falmouth—Precision!! GLEN ALLEN 18—BENEDICTINE 7 Glen Allen made its bow into city competition for the first time. Our entrance was an auspicious one as we defeated the Cadets of Benedictine 18-7. The Panthers drew first blood early in the opening quarter on a pass from Wilson Tinsley to Charles Faber. A long pass from Rhoades to Pugh in the second period put the Cadets ahead 7-6 at half time. Two fourth period scores by Tinsley netted Glen Allen its opening victory 18-7. A stalwart defense placed by co-captain Billy Thacker, Sherwood Frostick, Kenny Vaughan, Robert Fulton and Duke Thacker held the Cadets to a net gain of 44 yards. Glen Allen co-captain Wilson Tinsley was the whole offensive show as he passed for 1 score and ran for the other two. GLEN ALLEN 25—MANCHESTER 6 Using a set of portable lights the Panthers played the first night game ever staged on the school field. Manchester became victim number two on our 1949 schedule as we rolled up a sluggish 25—6 victory. Jackson, Faber, Vaughan and Tinsley scored touchdowns for the Red and Blue. The team failed to exhibit the smooth functioning we saw in the Benedictine game but still had enough power to prevail over the Lancers of Manchester. : GLEN ALLEN 18—JAMES MONROE O Glen Allen evened its 10-year record with James Monroe at 5 and 5 when we trounced the Yellow Jackets 27-0 in Fredericksburg. On defense our team stopped the Monroe attack cold and did not allow the Jackets a firstdown during the third and fourth quarter play. Panther scores were tallied by Tinsley, who went over three times, and Ed Jackson who tallied on a pass from Charles Brandmahl. Frostick Leads—Clinard Follows!! Page Gains Against Suffolk!! [95 ]

Hit ‘Em High—Hit ‘Em Low! Quick Pass to Trice—T. D. GLEN ALLEN 32—CHESTER O Glen Allen closed its 1949 season by defeating Thomas Dale of Chester 32-0 in a game that decided the championship of District Il. Playing before a Thanksgiving morning crowd of 2,000 the Panthers showed they were ready for this one by taking the opening kickoff and driving 84 yards for the first score. Co-captain Tinsley bucked over and added the point to put the Red and Blue in front 7-0 in the first five minutes. From then on the Panthers com- pletely dominated play as the defense sparked by the outstanding linebacking of Boo Kennedy completely stymied the Winged-T of the Chester club. Feature of the game was a spine-tingling 55-yard run through a broken field by Kenny Vaughan. Key blocks by Ed Jackson, Jimmy Price, and Billy Thacker paved the way for “The Bruiser’’ to go all the way. ‘’Nasty’’ Powers became the first lineman to score this season when he scooped up a blocked Dale punt and carried it 32 yards into the end zone. GLEN ALLEN 19—SUFFOLK 0 This should be called the game of ‘seconds.’ For the second time we were crowned champions of District Il which for the second time gave us the right to play for the Eastern Regional Title. Going even further we met Suffolk, District | winner for the second time, and for the second time we defeated them by the score of 19-0. Co-captain Tinsley wore his famed “88” for the last time and scored every point as the Red and Blue won over the Red Raiders. Tinsley went 62 yards for tally number one, bucked two yards for number two and smashed through from three yards out to run his season total to 117 points, a new Glen Allen and Henrico County record. After the first quarter, line play led by Frostick, Fulton and Price completely bottled up the Red Raider attack and Glen Allen won handily. This victory brought the Eastern Regional Title to Glen Allen for—yep! You guessed it—the second time. Brandmahl Moves Against Raiders! 31-Check! Clinard Scores Again!
