BIG GAMES FOR TODAY.
Thanksgiving Day will mark some
of tlie greatest football games of the
season and officially closes the sea
son. The classic of the South will
be the game In Birmingham between
the University of Georgia and the
University of Mabama. The Georgia
“Bull Dogs” have lost only one game
this season, and that by a fluke score
to the powerful blue squad of Yale
7-6. Alabama had carried everything
before her, including Georgia Tech
and Tulane, and was only stopped
by Centre in a decided upset of the
dope. Centre won 17-0.
Other important games will he:

stunt, when, after playing Alabama j
Thursday, she tackles the famous j
Centre team on November 29th at 1
Athens. On December Gth Florida
will take on Washington & Lee at
Jacksonville.

T 1 year the Blakely high school

schedule was not completed. In fact,

! the schedule so far was largely the
■work of Chas. Tarver, the manager
|of the Blakely Hi football squad.
| Desperate efforts were made to get a
Thanksgiving game, but the manage
ment found full schedules. This year
i it is lioped to present a full schedule
,! for the 1925 gridiron season before
! the close of school. Blakely began
to support the team and evince more
interest in the game than in former i
1 years, and it is the intention of the
; local team to play at least half of
; the football games in Blakely next
year.
The past season was by no moans!
• 1 a poor one for the “Bob Cats.’’ They
! played eight games, 5 away and >
at homo. Blakely Hi played entire-'
; ly out of her class with every U :;m|
except Donalsqnville. This state-j
nient is made with reference io tno:
cities where the high schools were
t located. Dothan. Albany, Dawson
! and Eufaula are all much larger
j towns than Blakely, while Newton In
stitute is a Junior College at New
ton, Ala.
Dothan Hi defeated Blakely Hi 18
to 0. in a former game Blakely
i went down 48-0.
Eufaula Hi got the game in Eu
fauli 7-0. Blakely HI never has felt
j good about that game.
I Donalsonville was smothered in
' Blakely 90-0 and later easily defeat
led on their own grounds 19-0.
j With a 70-0 defeat ringing in their
1 ears from last year, the Bob Cats
j went to Albany and held the Albany
Indians to a 14-6 score and really
■ outplayed the Albany boys during
; the first half of the game. Lack oi :
■ practice was an item here.
I Bainbridge beat Blakely last year
i 44-0. This year it took all they
> could do to make ar extra touch
l down, the score being 14-7.
• j The Boh (tats really played their
| best game against Newton Insti
: j tute and won 6-0. A scoreless tie
; tute and won 6-0.
i A scoreless tie was the result o'
l the game with Dawson, with a weak
. ened team.
The season stands: Played 8, won
3, lost 4, tied 1.
The big item to w hich the Blakely
boys point with pride Is that while
they lost 1 games, no team was able
to run away with a game, Dothan
Hi piling up only IS points, the larg
est score made on them. Their goal
line was never crossed on their
i home grounds.

SHORT FOOTBALL NOTES.
The Georgia Freshmen defeated the
Florida Freshmen at Bainbridge last
| Saturday 29-13. A crowd of o\ er 3000 '
j people saw the game.
The football squad of the Blakely
j High School w ill hold a banquet at
i the lunch room of the high school
■on the first Tuesday in December.
At this meeting a captain and man
ager will be chosen for ihe 1925
team.
The football boys of the Blakely
Hi are turning in their equipment.
This will be carefully stored away
for next season. All of this and some ,
additional uniforms will be needed
for the big squad of 1925 and it is
hoped to add a tackling dummy and
dumping bags. The Bob Cats should
present a really championship outfit
next year, since they lose only two
regulars and three subs from the
present team, and the prospects of
a large bunch of new material is
very bright.
