Paragould soliphone. (Paragould, Ark.) 1918-1950, 1922-11-15

UDCOVer1ng the NEST dazzling at
tack of the season, the Bulldogs won
an overwhelming victory over their
ancient and bitter rivals, the Jones'
boro High School, in their Armistice
Day game, before crowd estimated
at 1850 people Although out
weighed nearly 1 pounds to a man,
the Bulldogs rose to undreamed of
heights and swept their opponents,
literally, off their feet, and the
only time they were in danger Of
being scored upon was early in the
third period, when Jonesboro worked
their way to the vineyard line.
Here they met a stone wall, and
on the fourth down, fumbled, and
Capt. Gilmore for Paragould recov-
cred. If we were called upon to
pick out the stars for the game,
it would be an easy task to name
for Paragould, simply refer you to
the lineup and point them out,
as individually and collectively out
standing STARS. Perhaps the
greatest individual feats that have
been seen here was in the fourth
period, when in space of @ few
short minutes, Halfback Grooms
of the Bulldogs, intercepted two
Jonesboro passes, and each time
sprinted SO yards to touchdown,
and a moment later intercepted an
other in the same spot, but slipped
and was tackled. An unparalleled
feat, so far as known, happened late
in the second quarter, when Wright,
left end for the Bulldogs, scooped up
a fumbled kickoff by Salters and
raced across the goal line. Three
Jonesboro men fumbled the kick
and Wright picked it up on their
20 yard line. Piper" Mack gave
a great exhibition of line plunging,
several times ripping through for
gains of Is to 20 yards. "Mony'
Salters again was the scintillating
star that he always is, directing
the play of the team in his cool
and collected way and adding to his
teams total of points by scoring one
touchdown and a goal from the field,
togcthee with TWO extra points after
touchdOwns Each of the four ends
that were used By the Bulldogs
earned the many cheers that were
given for them and gave their
coaches much JOY to know that their
end worries were over. The four
Bill Trice, Fred Wright, "Grubby'
Carlyle and Orris Collins, are all
playing their first year on the
Varsity" Capt. "DaDo" Elmore
and Whitman played the game OF
their lives and on more than one
occasion broke through their heavy
opponents and smeared the backfield
before the play could be started
Coach Young, of the Jonesboro High
paid them the compliment of being
two of the best high school tackles
they had played against. They
were not alone in their 'line-bust-
ing" tactics, however, as Hale and
Vickroy played as if something pos
sessed and repeatedly stopped plays
directed at them and were real Bull
dogs on the offense. This boy
"Heinie" Kirchoff is rapidly develop
ing into real star and has come
so fast on the defense that the
= coaches have given him the all i'm
portant post of rowing center. His
Of hn H.
ing up opposing passes has stamped
him as one of the best,
For the visitors the work of Bum
at quarter back and GREGG at full
stood out most prominently and espe-
cially brilliant was the work of
Bum in all departments Of play.
He was perhaps the fastest man on
the field, ran his team we'll, excel
lent at running around the ends and
forward passing, and did good work
in returning punts. If it was not
for Salters he would be the best
quarter back in this end of the state,
but he sure would fit in any all
star backfield.
Another big feature of the game
from overybody's point Of view was
the excellent work of the officials,
Johnnie Bearden and "Possum" VIII
bourn, referee and umpire, respect
lively. Not protest was made
against one of their decisions and
if they will come back, we take the
liberty for the school and people
of Paraguold to invite them to Of
ficiate at all of the games to be
played here. The new wire fence
enclosing the playing field was
great help to all and enabled the
!, spectators to better see the games
Paragould now has one of the best
if not the best, playing fields ii
the entire state, according to many
of the spectators at Saturdays game
