ROCKSPRINGS IN
SEASON OPENER
The Bulldogs started the game
in fine fashion as they pushed the
Angoras around for two quarters
and a 13 point lead at half-time.
The lend was short lived however.
The Angoras came back at half-
time and took advantage of the
costly mistakes and penalities by
the Bulldogs. The young Bulldog
team showed signs of fatigue, so
conditioning will be stressed this
week,
The Bulldogs showed some good
form on offense and defense, but
many weak points were noted. A
possible change in the defensive
team is anticipated and possibly
a change in thy offensive team.
The offensive piay by Word,
Ruede, Searcy, and Hayes looked
good and should develope into a
well balanced backfield.
The green offensive line looked
promising at times, but made some-
bad mistakes. The offensive line
has only one starter from last
years team. He is Bobby Stevens,
who played a great game.
If the new members on the of-
fensive line improve as much as
they have (lie past two weeks they
should be very good by midseason.
The offensive line starters were:
LE, Sewall; RE, Shuptrine; LT,
Stevens; RT, Evans; LG, Rugh;
KG, Adamielz; ('. Brown.
The defensive line looked good
considering not one starter from
the 5(j season was back. Newt
Sewall who has been a substitute
the past two years looked out
standing in defending his side of
the line. Other hoys who showed
lots of hustle were: Travis Evans,
Raymond Adamielz, Ronnie Rugh,
Kelley Shuptrine, and Jack Tucker.
The Bulldogs led the Angoras
10 to 5 on first downs. The An-
goras scored first from about the
5 yord line after Ernest Sehla-
doer’s punt was blocked. Another
TD came by way of an intercepted
pass thrown by Ruede. The An-
goras’ final TD came on a 45 yard
sprint through the l<;ft side of the
line.
Ruede and Searcy accounted for
the Bulldog touchdowns and James
Herrera the conversion.
This was the first defeat on the
Bulldog field since 1954 when
Both defeated the Bulldogs 17-14
on a field goal in the last 10 sec-
onds of the game.
