Park View. Friday in an away
Coach Lane may be minus
the services of one of his SEN
iors Friday. Co-Captain Jimmy
Strong suffered a knee injury
in the tilt with Prince Edward
Academy Fr-day night, and is
a doubtful starter for the BUGS.
Another outstanding player
in last Fridays game was TN
ior Garland Station. He will be
out for the rest of the sea son
WI h a broken collar bone. Sta
ton SCORED, one Of Buckinghams
touchdowns and Strong was a
standout on defense. Strong
personally took care Of II tao
kles against the Academy.
More Bad News
If you think this is enough
to give coach a headache
stick around for minute long
er. and hear what happened
earlier in the season. Two
games ago against Bluestone,
Coach Lane lost two of his very
promising players due to in
Juries. Gary Love, Junior half
back, broke his arm and Joe
Jamerson, a freshman. injured
his foot. Both boys will be out
for the season, but there's lit
tie question we will hear more
about these boys next year, and
IN the case of Joe JamerSon,
for the next three years!
Want to hear some more?
Well the facts speak for them
selves. Curtis Heath. 4 senior
end, Sill" weighing 165 pounds
broke his collar bone the Thurs
day before the first game. Curt
is was two year veteran and
his experience is being sorely
missed at the present time.
Another early blow hurt
Lanes chances, was when
Johnny Wiseman. one of the
biggest boys on the team, was
not allowed to play by his doc
tor. Lane is hoping that John
ny will be around next year,
when his weight will help the
Buckingham line considerably.
Not All Bad
Coach Lane can be thankful
for the seniors he does have.
Taylor Duty and Tommy Nor
gan are two Of the finest backs
in the district, a fact that
shows IN spite of an inexper-
fenced team. Co-Captain Gar
land Swartz is so minute
man, playing backfield and
shifting to the line frequently
to his old spot at end.
On the forward wall. senior
center Talmadge Hanes handles
the pivot spot more like a vet
eran than a one-year man. Tai
madge weighs only 155 pounds
but he holds his own against
heavier more experienced line
men.
A couple of bright spots in
Lanes future plans are Junior
quarterback Bobby Lindsey and
freshman tackle Jerry Daniels.
Those who saw the Academy
Buckingham game Frid a y
night, will agree that Lindsey
handled the quarterback chores
with ease, just like an exper-
fenced player The fact is Lind
sey had played quarterback
only seven days before h c
game! And this is first year Of
football.
You can look for big things
to come from Buckingham s
tackles. Jerry Daniel is only Ia
years old, weighs 165 pounds
and stands So. His sophomore
running mate, Burford Adcock
is Is, weighs ITO and stands
6'O".
Coach Lane has another
bright spot in quarterback Per-
cy Banton. The small back
played almost exclusively on de-
Tense. as a line hacker. He
weighs only $50 pounds, but he
got IA tackles against the AGA
deny.
It will be interesting in 3
couple Of years to see how Vic
torila and BlueStone come out
against Buckingham. Freshmen
and sophomores can remember
wildly a team that romps fol
40 and more points. We predic'
