scme game. The people of Ocala
thought these Wildcats didn't have
any pep but, listen to me, they are
the hot stuff. They are tabasco sauce
favored with essence of ginger. Some
few thought that the Wildcats were
yellow but there's no yellow down
their backs. Now the subject of be-
ing yellow has already been argued
out in Ocala so don't try to start any
thing along that line. Just take it
from one who saw the game Saturday
between the Wildcats and DeLand
that there is not even the faintest
tint of yellow in Ocala's team. The
boys had the stuff and they put every
the game DeLand had a good team
and they fought like young tigers at
times. They had their backs to the
wall several times and they held like
brick walls but they depended too
much on their star player. Without
doubt Tatum is a star. He played a
wonderful game for the visitors but
he could not be eleven men at the
same time His team tried to work
him too much. He is a big man and
was hard to stop but the Wildcats
tstopped him time after time. AS a
rule il is the back field that gets the
most praise but this game belongs to
the line. That line was an animated
brick wall but it's animation never
Icalled for a step backwards. 1t was
forward march from the start to the
finish. Every man on the line played
Ia jam-up game. They held when it
was time to hold and they went thru
when it was time to advance. High
Iahove the general altitude of the line's
work scared that of George Leak.
That boy was in the game head and
bcty His mighty beef was invincible
and he had his eye on the ball. He
+ covered three fumbles before the
play was off and was in tackle after
tackle. Steve, the all-state center
vas right under Leak all the time
He was the assistant star of the day
but then there are those powerful
guards, the Troxler twins to consider
AS rule John outplays Lindsay by
{, few points but it seems to US that
Lindsay was the better of the two
Saturday. Lindsay blocked punts
broke through the line and tackled
. before the play was off time after
! time. John downed the big Tatun
boy time after time until Tatun
thought John was bigger than he was
Lumn1us was solid as an oak tree
When DeLand tried to run a play ovel
. him it stopped with a grunt like {
Ford car when it hits a stump.
Joe Moses played end and to us'
his own language he redeemed him
self for all past errors. He recovered
a tumble in the first quarter and car
. ried the ball over for a touch down
Jos also gained 20 yards on an EN-
run. Borland played his usual goo'
game on the other end. He made n
less than six tackles that were sensa
tNlO1ids anu Oll OIlS OSSdS"'l
Tatur III spite of the fact that Tatur
used his stiff arm to advantage o
inns nose. Jimmie grabbed the ol
stiff ann and pulled Tatum to tn
- ground. Now is there anything goo
left that can be said for the bac
. field? There has to be. If the goo
words have run out we will have
coin some more. How would super
Heterogeneous describe their work
Daniels ran the team at quarter in
I manner that was satisfactory to tt
entire side lines and that is hard
y do. In addition to this head wor
"a Bebe pulled off few little plays hin
IA self that were good. He received
4 forward pass for a 40 yard gain ar
I slipped through Steve's legs for seve
al needed gains. Bebe made the fir
touch down of the game in the fir
seven minutes of the play.
Ferguson hit the line like pi
driver and made gain after gal
Ferg's work on the defense was fiji
i too. He made tackle after tack
Il that were hard to get.
III Lewis made sensational end runs I
one of which he took flying hea
= first leap into the air to avoid tT
4 DeLand tackles. His leap netted hi
YS an additional five yards but it to-
II what the boys call nerve to hit t
ground head first like he did.
