Touchdown of Fulghurn in
Last Quarter Features
Big Game of Season.

Not content with winning the game
with his drop kick and touchdown,
Fulghum, Pensacola's star quarter
back, in the last minutes of play yes
terday, intercepted a forward pass
on Pensacola's ten-yard line and
destroyed Atmore's last chance
toscore, incidentally running the
length Of the field for another touch
down, while the hundreds of people
cheered and danced and threw their
hats sky high
And for that Fulghum is a hero,
and was carried off the field on his
team mates shoulders.
1t was one of the great moments
of football you read about often
and seldom see.
100 Pensacola.
Captain Perkins kicked goal and
score stood 100, in favor of P. H. S.
All the scoring was done in the last
quarter.
1t was great game, full of hair
raising moments, in which both teams
showed remarkable aggression and re-
sistance. Straight football was the
order of the day; a few double passes
were tried, but bucks, end runs, and
forward passes were the ground gain
ers. Pensacola had the advantage of
Atmore at every point of the game ex-
cept bucking the line.
Lots of Pep.
The fighting spirit of the local
boys when they trotted on the field
told the old timers, learned in foot
ball lore, that it was Pensacola's
game. Pensacola kicked off and the
line charged, taking the ball away
from, Atmore on tumble. Some end
dashes and plunges placed the oval
on Atmore's 15-yard line and it look
ed like touchdown for sure. But
the mighty Atmore line stiffened, and
Pensacola lost the leather on downs.
Atmore Saves Its Bacon.
Atmore kicked out of danger; there
was an interchange of kicks, and then
Atmore started. She plunged and
circled end; to make matters worse
Pensacola was penalized 15 yards;
then the line held and Pensacola
caught the ball on kick on its s.
yard line. The quarter closed.
Pensacola In Danger.
Pensacola kicked to the 30-yard
line, and the Atmore steam roller
started it's relentless march again, but
somebody dropped a monkey wrench
in the machinery and Pens aeola took
the ball away on its 10-yard line. An
interchange of kicks put the spereoid
we'll out of danger, with that inter
esting object in Pensacola's posses on
on Atmore's 20yard line. A try at
drop kick failed, the first of four
similar attempts, three of which were
made in this quarter and the fourth
in the last quarter.
Four Tries at Drop Kick.
Neither side was in serious danger
in the third quarter, but in the classic
fourth, Pensacola got busy. Atmore
received the ovoid on its 10-yard line,
and kicked Pensacola ran it back to
the 30-yard line. A plunge through
left tackle lessened the distance by 5
yards. A center buck and another go
at left tackle Melted only goose eggs,
and Fulghum signalled for a drop
kick
The First Score.
The two lines crashed together.
Fulghum caught the ball, took careful
aim and when it seemed that he must
be overwhelmed by the charging
backs, he kicked. High SCARED the
ball, turning slowly over, and a deep
hush fell over all. The ball reached its
pinnacle and dropped squarely be-
tween the goal posts. Score 30.
Then pandemonium broke loose.
Atmore's Fighting Spirit.
Pensacola kicked to Atmore's 10
yard line. Atmore had blood in its
| eyes. Two forward passes rolled up
ten yards, another failed, and left
! end run made it first down. A dash
around the right wing lost a yard,
a forward pass Melted four, and a
right end run gained five. McCHl-
Tough crashed through center for an
other ten, but somebody dropped an
