than E. Rustin, Jr., grandson of
Mrs. J. L. Rustin, of Mauk com
munity Taylor county and a
member of the Central High
Red Devils, Phenix City, Ala
bama was named to the initial 1961
Lineman and Back of the Week poll
by the Columbus Enquirer.
Rustin was a mainstay of a some
what Jittery Central Team which
fell before the Eufaula Tigers by a
7-0 (in the rain) in Eufaula, Ala
bama, September 8, 1961.
The Central defense was the main
factor in holding the powerful Tig
ers to but one touchdown, and coa
ch Henry Gresham singled Rustin
as the top individual performer.
Central made Home Debut Sept
ember 15, 1961 at Martin Stadium
when Phenix City eleven played
host to Bay County of Panama City,
Florida.
“The 10 and One Club - 10 lean
ones and one fat one. That’s what
we call them.” But they hit as
hard as any and gave Bay County a
good working over for a 19-0 victory
favor of the Red Devils.
David Ray the “big toe” of Cen -
tral football machine gave a good
swift kick where it would do the
most good September 21, 1961 at
Memorial Stadium.
And in doing so, he produced a
3-0 victory for the Red Devils over
Baker High of Columbus, Ga. Pro
viding a stunning climax to the
first Bi-City football game of the
season by pumping home a 36-yard
field goal six seconds left to play
on the score board clock.
This game gave something for
everybody in the game though -
fight, fumbles, flags, etc.
A free-for-all erupted between the
two squads late in the first period
which consumed some 10 minutes
before officials sent both teams to
their benches for a cooling off.
Coach Gresham singled Nathan
E. Rustin, Jr., as the defensive
standout with the Central “Red De
vils”, stating that the burley 190-
pound tackle had played the best
of his career this season.
The Enquirer will present a Line
man and Back of the Year Award,
along with the Thom McAn Award
for the most valuable players in
the Bi-City.
