Afternoon practice, the referee’s whistle -basketball games! Excitement, hoarse throats, victories and losses —a block W well earned. Walterboro—0 Beaufort—8 The “Wildcats” opened the '49 football season by winning a moral vic- tory over a strong Beaufort team. It was a close, hard-fought game, and could have gone either way. Craven, guard, and Avant, halfback, were outstanding for the “Cats.” Walterboro—0 St. Paul—13 In a rather dull game the “Wildcats” suffered their second defeat by the St. Paul “Pirates”. This also was a close game and could have gone either way, with the breaks making the difference.-Mole, center and captain, and Mitchell, end, sparked the “Cats”. Walterboro—7 Mullins—13 After allowing two quick touchdowns in the first quarter, the “Wildcats” settled down and stopped the Mullins “Auctioneers” cold, but could score only once themselves and tasted defeat for the third straight time. Fender, fullback, and Craven, guard, played stellar ball for the “Cats”. Walterboro—6 Bishop-England—0 The “Cats” upset the battling Bishops from Bishop-England in Johnson- Hagood Stadium, with Craven, guard, and Fender, back receiving the honors. Walterboro—27 St. George—0 For the Homecoming game, the hard-fighting “Wildcats” won over the St. George eleven. Both first and second strings played good ball. Walterboro—0 Lexington—7 The “Wildcats” visited Lexington only to lose a hard-fought battle in the last minutes. Bailey, end,and Avant, back, worried Lexington the most. Louie Fen md Albert Lucas Jackson Hughes Carol Drawdy Edward Mitchell Billy Simmons CO-CAPTAIN, Jim Bailey Thomas Craven Mickey Warren Walterboro—38 Loris—0 The “Wildcats’ took their first victory of the year by thoroughly out- classing the Loris “Tigers” 38-0.

Walterboro—27 Ridgeland—7 The “Wildcats” won their second straight victory of the season by walloping the Ridgeland “Tigers” 27-7.

Walterboro-—7 Summerville—27 The mighty Summerville “Green Wave”, Class B Champions of ’49, found themselves played on even terms for three and a half quarters by a much smaller Walterboro team. With four minutes left in the game, the score was 13-7 Summerville leading and the “Green Wave” first string playing the entire game. Fender, fullback, McCord, end, and Warren, tackle, played ex- cellent ball for the “Cats”. Walterboro—21 Greer—32 The “Wildcats” put on a surge in the last half that fell short of eleven points and Greer went on to win. Carrol Crosby, offensive tackle, and Fender, back, were outstanding.
