The Pride of Atlanta,
The Rabbits—
Neal Binningham
The Rabbits hopped out on the
field for the last time Thursday
night when they met the White
Oak Roughnecks. The Rabbits put
up a good fight but came out on
the "south end" of the 42-13 score
The Rabbits offer no alibis or
excuses. The Roughnecks played a
hard clean game and deserve the
42 to 13 victory, yet I believe the
White Oak team knows that it has
played a real ball club for the
game itself was not half so one-
sided as the score.
When the final whistle blew at
Marshall, Thursday night, it meant
more to about fifteen members of
the squad than losing the bidistrict
championship and finishing th*
season. To these fiften seniors it
meant that the final curtain had
been brought down on the last per
formance of their football careers
