feat Bell County Boys In
Tight Game Saturday

/ Madison High School won her
first football victory OF the sea-
son at Middlesboro Saturday
where her eleven defeated Mid
, dlesboro Hi by a score of ID to
IS. Madison had hard fight
tc win. They were the best ex-
cept in the third quarter, out
playing Middlesboro all the rest
of the way. The winning touch
, down was scored in the final
! period when Ralph Gentry pick
. ed hp tumble and sped about 40
+ yards for a touchdown. Clouse
made the extra point by a place
kick.
! Madison took the lead in the
first quarter when she rushed
the ball within a yard of the
Middlesboro goal. The local boys
drove it over but were called
back as the quarter ended, the
referee claimed, before the play
was started. However, on the
first play in the second period,
Clouse carried the ball over and
made a place kick for an addi
tional point. Middlesboro also
scored a touchdown in this peri
cd. One Cf their men intercept
ed a Madison pass and carried
it within "a yards of the line,
Two penalties put the ball only
a few yards for Madison's line
where Middlesboro bucked it
over. They failed to make the
point after touchdown.
In the third quarter the story
was all Middlesboro. They out
played the locals by a wide mar
gin in this quarter and deserved
to score their touchdown which
came as the result of repeated
thrusts at tackle. After they had
crossed the Madison goal for the
second time, Middlesboro for
ward passed their way to their
18th point.
With the beginning of the last
quarter, Madison fought hard
and scored when they took adj
vantage Of a break. The ball was
ii mid field when Middlesboro
furnbled. 1t was the quarter
back. He had been receiving the
ball from the center and passing
it to the other backs. Boen
broke this up time after time by
leaping over the line, tackline
the quarterback before he could
pass the goal. 1t was on such
play as this that Middlesboro
fumbled. Gentry picked up the
ball and ran 40 yards for the WIN
ming touchdown. Clouse, thru
perfect place kick, accounted
for the point which won the
game.
Shirley Clouse was the out
standing star on che Madison
team. He carried the ball for
good gains all through the game.
In the absence of Captain ALL
man he was acting Captain
and Clouse lead the team like
veteran. He also was deadly
tackler. His skill at making
good place kicks won the game
for the locals. Clouse behind him
was Jesse Moberly, who was al
so a consistent ground gamer.
He was given the name of
"mankilIer" as it seemed that
every time Middlesboro man
would hit him someone would
have to pick the tackler up. Ini
the line Boen and Bower were
good. Boen broke up plays bel
fore they could be started and
was indirectly responsible for
Madison S winning touch
down. Bower, having been shift
ed to center in the absence Of
Captain Altman played we'll
throughout.
