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 ]

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
