VOLUME 97 } NO. 14
BLAKELY WINS REGION 1-B WEST TITLE
AS ‘CATS DEFEAT CALHOUN COUNTY
FOR BTH VICTORY OF THE SEASON
The Blakely Bobcats wrapped up
their first championship since the
early thirties here Friday night, easi
ly defeating Morgan, of Calhoun Coun
ty, 46 to 0.
According to records available, this
is the first time since 1932, except for
a short interim when Blakely played
six-man football, that the Bobcats went
through a gridiron season undefeated.
Back in 1932, when the late “Butch”
Hammack was coach, the Bobcats went
through an entire season undefeated
and unscored upon, although in the
last game of the season, with Blakely
leading Columbia (Ala.) 14 to 0, Coach
Hammack pulled his team off the field
because of rough treatment accorded
his players by the Columbia fans (then
fans roamed up and down the side
lines), and the referee forfeited the
game to the Alabamians. Blakely and
Dawson fought to a scoreless tie that
same year, but in other games the
Bobcats were victorious.
The Bobcats close out the regular
season Friday night in Pearson in a
game that has no bearing on the con
ference race. On Thanksgiving Day
in Waycross at 2 o'clock p. m, the
Bobcats play Patterson, winners of the
1-B east crown.
The Bobcats went to work against
Morgan, salting the game away in
the first five minutes. Harry Clifton
took a Morgan punt and sailed 70
yards for the first score. Johnny Hol
man made the extra point. Aubrey
Rentz got into the act on a 55 yard
gallop. The extra point was no good.
Edmund Sheffield delivered a key
block on Rentz's run. In the second
quarter, Johnny Holman scatted 57
yards for a TD, and Cooper was the
man who set him free with a fine body
block. Rentz scored again from the
9in the same quarter. The half end
ed with Blakely leading 25 to 0.
Touchdown No. 5 was made by
Louie Zoeckler from the one yard
marker, but Zoeckler had gained most
of the ground on the way to pay dirt,
which started from the Morgan 38 by
way of a recovered fumble. Rentz
made the extra point. Harry Clifton
got TD No. 6on a 4-yard fumble.
Cooper set this one up by recovering
another Morgan fumble, and also made
the extra point. Aubrey Rentz made
the final touchdown, bulling his way
through the center of the line for 15
w John Pritchett kicked the extra
t.
Blakely subs played a good portion
of the game. Perry Jarrett, star Blake
