X!! f- , .Wea YELLOW JACKETS WIN IN BOWL AS BRADEN SAW IT Middlesboro spent two hard weeks on the lake bank in preparation for the coming season. Although the strength of the team was uncertain the outlook was bright. The lackets took the field on the last day of August with high hopes for a successful season. Our first opponent this year was Wallins High. We hadn't met this team in recent years and we were unsure of its strength. Likewise, Middlesboro was unsure of its own strength, but from the opening kickoff the Yellow Iackets' power became apparent. With every back and one end scoring touchdowns the lackets won going away 41-O. The next foe the Iackets faced was Barbourville. This was a real contest for the team. Not only were the Tigers tough, but this was also our first conference game. Middlesboro met this problem by marching seventy-two yards for a touchdown and kick- the point after. A rugged defense held the spread formation of Barbourville for no gain and the lackets rolled again, holding a 13-U lead at halftime. But Barbourville was not to be denied as in the second half a fifty- three yard pass reached paydirt for the tigers. But the lackets came back to make it 19-6. Both teams scored again but the Iackets' strength proved greater and the final score was 26-12. The Iackets again went out of the con- ference as they traveled to meet the Briar lumpers from Somerset. The Jackets scored on the fourth play of the game and led 6-U. The ball changed hands many times during the game. The Iackets were having a bad night and getting some bad breaks. They couldn't reach the goal line again. The score remained 6-O until late in the last quarter. Then the lumpers, aided by a penalty, scored and kicked the point. The score read 7-6. Again the Iackets could not move the ball and they went down to defeat 7-6. The next week the Yellow Iackets journeyed to Corbin to meet Lynn Camp. This was a very important game for the lackets as was every conference game and they wanted to avenge their loss of a week ago. The lackets were hot that night and scored two quick touchdowns. But Lynn Camp surged to a touchdown and the first quarter ended 14-7. This only heartened the lacketsp they scored two more touchdowns 4, L 5 4 M Q l ' If fl 1 f A j y sl X 3 f f! . . , I N 41 L . iff? -1, i t. , . L . f f 3 ,rhry L I ? .yyy V 5.
