Some ljBOO faithful fans
turned out Saturday night and
saw one of the mast interesting
football games ever played in
Griffin. '
The rest Of the people who
did not turn out—many be
cause thgy thought “Spalding
doesn’t have a chance’’—missed
that game and no doubt when
they heard the score many
wanted a swift kick In the pos
terior.
For it was one of the great
est upsets of %e season.
Spalding wen 13 to 0 and out
played the Gainesville Red
Elephants In every way.
It was the Wolf pack’s night
to howl—and howl they did.
That hoWl of victory could be
heard All the way to the “Red
Old Hills of Hall County”
where the Red Elephants will
now go Into hibernation to lick
their wounds.
Gainesville, the team that
licked LaGrange the week be
fore to spoil the Granger’s rec

Gainesville, the team that
tied Griffin and spoiled her
chance’ for getting Into the re

Gainesville, the team that
was picked at the first of the
season as one of the favorites
to win—
That’s the team that Spald

Some say that Gainesville
wifi “flat;"
Borne OainesvIUe fans were
heard to say that the officials
were “rotten;”
Some said after fhe game
that the Wolfpack “played over
their heads;”
Some said that Gainesville
fumbled so many times because
the ball was wet.
Well Spalding played with
the same ball and didn’t fum

It was that hard tackling of the
Wolfpack that made Gaines

Spalding High’s Wolfpack pulled
the upset of the year Saturday
night and defeated Gainesville’s
Red Elephants 12 to 0.
Hie Wolfpack played the best
game of Class A football in Geor
J
gia to turn the trick, and that it
was no accident is borne out by the
fact that Spalding chalked up a
total of nine first downs to Gaines
ville’s three. ..." *,
The Wolfpack outplayed Gaines
ville all the way and In every dep
artpwat. Gain.esvllle was at full
strength with her highly touted
Jadde Roberts, Grady Crowe and
Marvin Free on hand.,
•boot the Red MM w
embarrassed faces after the game.
Ctoce the Wolfpack finish,9d gnaw
log. op them tpe Elephants looked
a very pate pink.
Spalding’s offense was amazing
and clicked like clockwork, and bar
defense was equally as good. The
Wolfpack could have beaten Any
Class A team In Georgia Saturday

the seven.
Bailey scored through the line
from the'seven. The try for the
point was no good and the score
was Spalding 6, Gainesville 0.
Hardly anyone but the Wolfpack
players and coaches themselves had
expected Spalding even to score on
Gainesville, and the fans went wild.
Gainesville received Spalding’s
ount and Jackie Roberts returned
to the Gainesville 38. A few seconds
later Gainesville fumbled again,
thanks to crushing tackles from the
entire Spalding team. End Ray

the Wolfpack and Spalding went
back on the offense after a flash
of brilliant defensive playing..
Put Gainesville tightened up and
