Mud soaked Patriots watch intently as their teammates, despite rain and mud, slosh to Patrick Henry's first football team had a successful season, compiling a 6-4 record. The team did an outstanding job although it lacked experience and size, and was the youngest team in the city-county area, These drawbacks were overcome by speed, effort, and an excellent de- fense. Perhaps the best game of the season was against city-county rival William Fleming. The Big Purple , under the daring quarterbacking of Hill Ellett, overcame o 7-O deficit and won l-4-7. The future looks bright for the Big Purple . Next year there will be twenty lettermen return- ing, led by Eddie Scruggs, E. B. Snow, W. J. Blane, James Stutts, and freshman Mike Cubit, who was voted by the team the Most Improved Player. The lettermen will also be supported by many sophomores and freshmen.
