Lamar Cos. Trojans Rip
Devils in 21-8 Victoiy
The Lamar County Trojans
hosted the Jackson Red Devils
in Barnesville Friday night and
turned two blocked Red Devil
punts one in the first quarter,
the other in the third, into nine
points and a shaky 2-0 halftime
lead before scoring three
second quarter touchdowns to
defeat Jackson 21-8.
Late in the first quarter the
Trojans blocked a punt which a
Red Devil covered in the end
zone for a safety, giving the
Trogans their only points in the
game at halftime.
In the third quarter with 7:30
remaining Trojan linemen
surged through to block an
Aubrey Burford punt which
they recovered on the eighth.
With 5:40 remaining on the
clock Mark Jenkins smashed
one yard into the end zone with
Mike Fink adding the extra
point to make the score 9-0.
Late in the third quarter with
1:40 remaining Scott Fambro
raced 19 yards for the second
Trojan tally with the point
after missed.
Early in the fourth quarter
Bobby Barkley ran 21 yards for
the last Trojan points with the
PAT no good, making the score
at this juncture 21-0.
Late in the fourth quarter
Ricky Smith passed 21 yards to
Jackie Clark for Jackson’s lone
touchdown. Darrell Summers
ran across for the two point
conversion which made the
final score 21-8.
The Red Devils face a rugged
foe in Carrollton on Red Devil
Hill Friday night. Coach Ron
Wade said Monday that
Carrollton has been defeated
but once and is the strongest
team remaining on the Devil’s
schedule. Kick-off time is eight
o’clock.
Coach Wade’s Critique
Team’s performance was way below par.
With the loss of Andy Crumbley the team seems
to be down emotionally.
Also with Crumbley’s loss we had to shift many
people to different positions, thus causing many
missed assignments.
A lot of mistakes made were not due to physical
ability but due to mental break-downs.
Many of the players fail to make adjustments
to the blocking of their defense.
Even after the half some assignments were not
executed properly.
There were some bright spots however; one
particularly was Aubrey Burford. He intercepted two
passes, recovered a fumble and did a fine job
carrying our kicking game.
Also doing some fine kicking was Darrell
Summers. Darrell made some fine plays on defense
in both positions of line-backer and tackle.
Bobby Askin making his first start at center did
an excellent job. He made some mistakes blocking
but did not have any bad snaps.
Fred Weaver and Mickey Ball made their first
starts on the kicking teams and did a good job.
Almost everybody had some good points but we
let down mentally in crucial situations and thus gave
the ball game away.
We must regroup this team and execute much
better if we plan to stay on the football field with
Carrollton.
Carrollton is 5-1 and will bring a fine ball club to
Jackson.
Since we played Putnam County Jackson has
lost five starters and we were low in depth anyway so
almost all the boys are going both ways. From the 9th
grade team we moved to varsity Bill Fears, Bill
lyoods, Stanley Gregory and Wesley Lawrence.
Carrollton asked for 1,500 advanced tickets so
put forth the faith in the Red Devils and come out
Friday night.

Over Vols
It’s hard to believe that
we’ve just passed the halfway
point of the 1973 college football
season . . six weeks down, six
weeks to go.
Seventh week coming up,
and, as usual, we’ve got some
outstanding ball games on the
schedule. Two title chasers,
Alabama and Tennessee, meet
in a Southeast Conference
attraction. Colorado plays
Oklahoma, Missouri battles
Oklahoma State, and Nebraska
meets Kansas in the Big Eight.
And two top independents
tangle, Houston and Miami.
The Southeast Conference
confrontation takes place in
Birmingham, and if we’ve read
our tea leaves correctly,
3rd-ranked Alabama will win
the big one over 18th-rated
Tennessee. The Tide is a
14-point favorite.
And we aren’t forgetting that
Louisiana State is also very
much in contention in the race
in the Southeast. Still undefeat
ed after five games, the
12th-ranked Tigers meet Ken
tucky in a tough conference
game. The Wildcats are
underdogs by 13 points.
The power on the West Coast
is really asserting itself, and
we mean U. C. L. A. even more
than Southern California. The
Uclans, since their opening loss
to Nebraska, have really been
steaming. They’re rated eighth
this week, and they’ll club
Washington State by 29. The
Trojans, number 9, will beat
Oregon by fourteen.
Ohio State, No. 2 team in our
ratings, and 4th-rated Michi
gan both play Big Ten
opponents Saturday. The Buck
eyes will whip Indiana by 31
points, and the Wolverines
should get by Wisconsin. The
spread is eighteen points.
Can’t remember when one
conference has had so many
fine football teams as the Big
Eight has this fall. At this
point, it’s a real eight-team
race for the championship.
There isn’t a weak team in the
league.
Top-ranked Oklahoma, com
ing off a lopsided landslide
over Texas, should continue to
win with a 16 point victory over
13th-ranked Colorado. Nebras
ka, dropped to seventh, w'as
upset by Missouri last w'eek,
but the Huskers are favored
over Kansas, No. 19, also by 16
points. And we’re going to pick
the Oklahoma State Cowboys,
our No. 17 team, to upset the
upsetter. the Cowboys over
6th-rated Missouri by 3 points.
Great games!
Finally, back to Houston and
