: AND THINGS
I Readers Write
I About Writing
The football rantings of The Cherokeean, together with
. the unprecedented gridiron enthusiasm locally, from time to
9 time result in remarks, inquiries, and even a little griping,
¡ from readers. This is like big-time stuff. And what with an
* open date this week, we have the perfect excuse for rant-
« ing . . . column style, like big time.
; The first writer this week suggests:
"If you want to do the Rusk football team a great service,
. play up the line inore and the hackfield less. From end to end
I that line is great, and their backs are getting weary from open-
] ing holes and taking all the knocks for somebody else to get
Sail the glory.
¡i "If it won't spoil the hackfield, it won't spoil the line. So
* count the tackles and fumbles forced and recovered — not
3 just the yardage of the backs. And eive the boys a break.
a "You did mention three names last week, and thank you
.for it. That's the first time this year, and it helped their morale
•wonderful Is."
9t
* This one was signed "A Fan".
So far as we know the boys aren't quibbling about it. But
far be it from us to let our ignorance come between a good
* line and a good backfield. We'll try to do better, fan. And
* thank you.
Í The next communication was unsigned, but we'll use it to
"make a lit ¡le explanation. It reads:
t)
a ' Say, if il is not too much trouble, why don't you print the
"number of correct picks each winner gets (in the football contest)
¡and also if there are ties, why not print the scores they picked
•as their tie-breakers?
¡ "It's not that I mistrust you. but it is possible that you
"could make a mistake."
Reoly: Say, we don't dare make a mistake.
But to answer you more directly: If we printed all the ties,
and all the scores, the way you all are picking them now
'* that's nil we would have room to print.
J We're Irving to think up ways now of making this thing
Jmore difficult — before it turns into something like the Irish
rsweepstakes.
People in these parts have never before been so foolball-
j^mart.
* The rout of Pine Tree stunned a lot of people. It also set
Jhe Eagles up n little higher to become a little better target. Tf
¡they took a poll now, Rusk would be the unanimous choice for
«district championship. But still a few remember four seasons
«go, when the only things between the Eagles and a district
.chairmionship were Jasper and a virus.
* The virus won.
Quote from a young man in a Gilmer letterjacket leaving

Alto 'Jackets
Swarm 32-8
Over Sandies
The Alto Yellowjackets
swarmed to a 32-8 victory over
Graneland's Sandies Friday
night to make it four down and
three to go in district play.
James Jeter opened Alto
scoring with a 20-yard journey
into the Grapeland end zone.
Bradley went in for the two.
It was Bradley a^ain a few
minutes later. He teamed with
Jacket Quarterback Rav John-
son on a 30-yard pass play, and
then rambled for 18 yards and
the score the next time out.
Mike Trevathan got the two-
point conversion.
Then Johnson wrapped up
scoreboard activity, and may
have put a new mark in Yellow-
jacket scoring records, with a
106-yard touchdown run.
Standing near the Alto goal-
posts, Johnson intercepted a
Grapeland pass and raced to
the opposite end of the field.
McGaughey passed to May for
the extra points.
Grapeland got its only touch-
down in the third quarter after
falling on a high snap from
center.
Alto this week plays host to
D i boll. The Lumberjacks last
week went down to Groveton,
32-6.

The Rusk Eagles almost
silenced a big homecoming
throng at Pine Tree while blast-
ing out a momentous 30-0 win
over the highly-rated Pirates.
The touch Eagles rolled a
w; ole helmetful of accomplish-
ments in'o one bi<? win. And
while the one-sided score
astounded observers, it left no
doubt about which team has
the front seat in the drive down
to the 16-AA finish line.
Rusk's win marked the f'rst
time since joining the 16-AA
District that Rusk has beaten
Pine Tree. Last year it was 13-
12, and the year before it was
33-14. But this year's triumph
recouped all that.
It was a jolting, bVuising
clash all the way, a scoreless
standoff all the first quarter
and half the second. With the
ball on the Pine Tree 12 yard
line, fourth down and one yard
to go, Fullback Phillip Power
charged through a hole over
left tackle and stomped through
a Pirate infested 12 yards for
the initial score. Power carried
for the two points.
Pine Tree got only two plays
out of the series following the
kiekoff. Dale Dotson intercep-
ted a Pirate pass to put the
Eagles in business on their
own 40.
Working down to the six,
Dotson hurled a pass to End
David Grogan standing deep \fi
the Pine Tree end zone. The
Dotson-Grogan pass again click-
ed for the two extra points. Just
19 seconds remained in the
half.
Between halves there was
time to speculate on when Pine
Tree would explode. They nev-
er went off. The second half
Eagle defense held the fuse.
Rusk drove down to the Pi-
rate 29 as play resumed in the
third period. They were stalled
at that point. The Pirates took
over, and after three tries, they
still needed nine yards. They
kicked to the Rusk 28. The
Eagles could manage only five
yards, and returned the boot.
Then there was another fatal
Pine Tree mistake.
The ball popped out of the
arms of the waiting Pirate re-
ceiver. Ronnie Travis pounced
on it at the 30. A pass to Joe
Allen covered the distance to
the 22. Then Power broke
through to the five. The full-
back then stepped off the re-
maining yardage. Dotson ran
the two points on the option.
Pine Tree came boiling back
with a hard-hitting drive that
went as far as the Rusk 21.
But a fumble at that point was
the first in a series that was
to blunt Pirate efforts to get
on the scoreboard for the rest

It was another kick out fori

One play later, with Mark

The one minute and five sec-

enough for the Pirates to avoid

It was a bizarre night in 16-AA
last Friday. Rusk shattered Pine
Tree in what was, at best, sup-
posed to be a toss-up game.
Then along came ccller dwel-
ler, Chapel Hill, and knocked
off Glaciuvvater, who was sup-
posed to be the champion. The
Bulldogs led throughout the
game and posted a 22-14 final
score for their first conference
victory.
Chapel Hill went down fight-
ing at Rusk just a week earlier,
30-6.
The biggest jolt, however,
came rolling out of Pirate Sta-
dium. Billed as the game that
would decit'e the 16-AA cham-
pionship, the Eagles from Rusk
mauled Pine Tree by an im-
possible 30-0.
it was a win that definitely
established the Eagles as the
tup contender foi the crown,
nd left them the only unbeat-
en eleven in 16-AA.
Gilmer—a 2014 t victim of
Gladewater on Oct. 19—had fin
open date last Friday.
The Buckeyes this week get
Chapel Hill. At the same time,
Gladewater and Pine Tree go
at it. Rusk has an open date
and will play the observer role
this Friday.
Here is the way the loop
teams stack up this week (op-
ponents' points in parentheses):
