The only score of the game was a pitchout from Frierson to Patterson. who plowed ten yards around his own left end for the T.D. This was late in the second quarter. Both :he third and fourth quarters were mostly defensive play on the part of the juniors in an etfort to block further scoring by the Seniors.

The Tigers won the toss, and the game began as Ellzey kicked 05 for the Bulldogs. There was a fumble on the first play, and Prescott recovered for the Bulldogs. Through running attacks by Taylor and Ellzey, the ball was brought to the Tiger 30, where the Bulldogs lost possession on a fumble. On an end run by Patterson, and two line bursts by Ferguson, the Tigers moved to the Bulldog 40, where they were held and forced to punt. On runs by Prescott, Taylor, and Ellzey, and a pass to Barker, the ball was moved all the way to the Tiger 20, where the Bulldogs lost the ball on downs. On the next play, James went up the left side of the field for a 40 yard gain, to the Bulldog 40, but the Tigers could go no farther and were forced to punt. Here the quarter ended. The hrs: of the second quarter was still a see-saw possession of the ball, with both teams depending mainly on a ground attack. However, as the half was drawing to a close, Frierson, on a pass-play from the Bulldog 40, threw a long one to Ellzey, who caught it over his shoulder on the 25 and went the rest of the way unmolested. A quarterback sneak failed to make the extra point, and soon afterwards the first half ended with the Bulldogs ahead 6-0. The third was begun as R. Murphy kicked off for the Tigers. This quarter was played mostly in Tiger territory, as the spirited offense of the Bulldog team seemed to have taken hold. Later in the quarter, as the Tigers were forced to punt from their 35, guard Treppendahl crashed through for the Bulldogs to break up the play thus giving the Bulldogs pos- session of the ball deep in Tiger territory. After two runs by Frierson and Prescott, which put the ball on the Tiger 9, Ellzey broke around his own right end for the second Bulldog score. A try at the extra point was no good and here the quarter ended. A determined Tiger team received the kickoff early in the fourth quarter, and slowly began to move into Bulldog territory. On runs by James and Faulk, and a pass from Patterson to Frank Smith, the Tigers moved to the Bulldog 10, where is was finally halted for four downs. The game ended minutes later, with the Bulldogs victorious by the score of 12-0. It was a hard-fought game all the way, and both teams displayed ample skill and good sportsmanship.
