AAAA Competition Upsets the ' ogs' Season The Bulldog fans never gave up when the ,Dogs met the North- side Grizzlies. This probably was the most hard fought game of the year for both teams. There was exciting action throughout the game with the final tally made with only 56 seconds remaining to be played. Both teams were unable to score in their first bouts with the ball. However, when the Grizzlies again gained possession of the ball they moved down the field to score and gain the conversion. The half-time score was 21-7. The 'Dogs second TD came late in the third quarter on a short pass. The Grizzlies scored again, and it wasn't until the final sec- onds of the game that the 'Dogs tightened the lead to 28-20. The ,Dogs took a question- able defeat in stride after a 7-0 Hirst and last clash with North Little Rock. Sportsmanship has always been put before victory whether in our own Bulldog stadium or on any of our rival's fields. The only score of the game came after a pass interception and three ground plays by the Wildcats.
