 Central scored in about five minutes of play on a long end run by Wat kins and q line buck by Jackson. Gen. tral made another touchdown in the second quarter on line bucks by Jack son.
 The feature of the game resulted in the third touchdown. A long lateral pass, Joyce Levvy to Jaffe, was one of the thrills of the game. Levvys pass was accurate and Jaffe caught the ball near the goal line. A buck by Jackson put 1t over
 Jackson played a stellar game, but his toe work was off. He missed three goals after touchdown. Watkins again demonstrated that he is one of the best little halfbacKs in the state. "Runt,' as he is known, certainly has a bright future
 The Etowah team has great back ! field and with a little help from the line the Etowah boys are sure to be heard from before the season closes.
