something to behold. The
Bulldog linemen were well
able to contain the Crescent

practically all of the’ game.
The jfame opened with

the Crescent, 35; the Blue
‘Jays made two successive
first downs and went to
near midfiejd, where the
Bulldog line got organized
and stopped their offensive

"ball on a punt on its own

Beck carried to the 35, then
Cooper stepped back And
passed to Schacherl good
for 65 yards overall an<J a

ed successfully to De Witt
and Flatonia led 8-0. The
Bulldogs held Crescent wall
and lost the balL on the
Cresent 1 due to a fumble
just_as the quarter came to.
Friday Night
In to be
the crucial game for district
■honors this year, the Fla-
topia Bulldogs will play the
Garwood Gars in that city
Friday night, Oct. 23, be-1
ginning at 8 p. m.
Garwood has a- good dub
and has a.creditable record
this year, and this should
prove to be the Bulldogs’
toughest test. The Gars did
not play last Week, while
the Bulldogs were disposing
wf Crescent in a district con-
test.
Thu Bulldogs, need YOU
at the game Friday night;
they certainly can use all of
the support that cah be mus-
tered in their quest for the
district crown.

Little Flatonia of Di»-
trict 33-B has been
knocking the blocks off
Class A and B teams
with consistency this fall
(six victories, 267 points
to 20 for opposition).
Early in the y<ear after
lopsided triumps ’over
Bastrop and Del Valle,
the Bulldogs began re-
ceiving votes in the Dallas
Morning News’ weekly*
poll in. Class A. As a
matter of fact, reported
Bill Morgan, who com-
piles the results, the Bull-
dogs received ip-12 votes
and would have been
ranked jn the top 10 of
Class A if they had been
eligible. That’i quite a
tribute to Coach Bobby
Anderson’s club and to
the school, which has an
enrollment of only 112.
