Blackstone Moues To Top District 3;
With Plenty Objection On Tap Friday

Park View in third place. Blue
stones victory was surprising as
the Barons move into second
place with a Al record.
Park View is now just a half
a game above Randolph-Henry
and Brunswick. The Statesmen
were victims of another surprise
upset Friday night as they were
edged l4-l3 by independent Prince
Edward Academy. The loss will
not hurt their district record. but
was a blow to their overall mark.
The Statesmen will entertain
8luestone Friday night in what
will develop into a good battle.
Games on tap Friday night will
provide fans with some of the
finest football of the year. It will
be difficult to pick the winners in
advance but the Herald staff
makes the following predictions.
Amelia over Victoria, the Orioles
have got it and are starting to
show it. Blackstone over Crewe,
but it will be a fine contest. Ran
dolph-Henry over Bluestone, the
Statesmen are due for win and
they have good team. Park

toss-up, but Park Vwisehould
toss-up, but Park View should
snap back from last weeks up
set. Prince Edward Academy
over Cumberland, another close
one, but the Wolverines have
shown the greater scoring power.
Powhatan over Lee-Davis. the In
dians are due for another victory.
even though they still have size

Midlothian, this will be another

This Saturday the Tigers play

Centre College. The Kentuckians
were the only club to shut out
the Tigers last year (l0-O). Both

Tiger defensive unit kept them
within their own 20 for the whole
period, each time they had the
ball. ......
The second quarter was a COM
plete reversal with the Lions
breaking the scoring ice for two
tallies. Concord started on their
own 48 and marched down the
field until FB Wayne Hicks drove
across for the score. Guard Bill
Marshall added the point. The
second score came minutes later
when the Lions intercepted
Tiger pass and moved from
there to the H-SC 2 where Hicks
again went across and Marshall
booted the point. A Tiger drive
starting from the recovery of a
Concord tumble fell short of the
goal on the Lion Is when the
Tigers were again unable to
make first down. and the score
at the half was Concord 14-H-S 0.

the Tigers seemed to be goal
bound when they launched

to grind out a goalward march.
Allen Watts. R-H captain for the
night. carried to the Academy IS
on the first play from scrim-
mage. Bill Dalton and w. D. Per-
dieu made it first on the
Academy Is. Bill Mason ground
out four more yards, and it
looked as if the Statesmen would
soon strike pay dirt. But on the
next play Watts was thrown for
a six yard loss, and then the
Statesmen were tagged with a
five yard penalty.
Forced to the anyways Ran
dolph-Henry tossed, hoping for
long yardage. Bobby Gilmer
diagnosed the play and came in
for the interrogation. He picked
the ball off on his 20 yard line
and, aided by some beautiful
open field blocking, rambled for
the touchdown. However, a clip
ping penalty brought the ball
back to the Academy IS.
Farmville was held for downs
and Gilmer quick kicked. The
Statesmen st art e d another

Farmville played it safe on the
wet, slippery field and kicked
again on third down. this time
the ball rolling dead on the R-H
Is. The Statesmen started to roll
again, as Watts caught a pass
moving to the midfield stripe.
Here the Academy line held and
the Statesmen were forced to
kick. The ball rolled dead on the
two yard line. but an off sides
penalty forced R-H to kick again.
This time Archie Dunkley broke
through to block fuckers boot
and the Academy took over on
the SO of R-H.
Gilmer picked up eight yards
on the first try and then Paul
Simpson bulled his way straight
up the middle for 80 yards and
the touchdown. Again penalties
came into play and the run was
called back, and Farmville was
neld for downs.
R-H started to grind out yard
age again, as Mason, Perdleu,
Wilmouth and Watts moved the
ball to the Academy 80. where a
couple of fumbles caused the
Statesmen to lose the ball on
downs.
On the first play, Bobby Gil
