Mustangs
Blanked
Red Devils
It was a long night in Morrow
Saturday as the Mustangs
controlled the game and the
score, blanking a sadly
depleted Red Devil Team 21-0.
Behind the offensive antics of
K. Williams who scored twice,
one on a run of 43 yards, and J.
Wood who plunged two yards
for the second Mustang tally,
Morrow dominated the score
board.
Midway the first quarter
with 7:45 on the clock Williams
scampered 43 yards for the
first tally. Ovaliquez added the
first of three perfect PAT’s to
make the score 7-0.
On the first play of the
second quarter with 11:45
remaining, Wood cracked over
the goal from 2 yards out with
the kick making it 14-0. A few
minutes later in the second
period with 6:27 remaining
Williams smashed over from
two yards out with the kick
making the final score 21-0, all
coming in the first half.
Darrell Summers gained 188
yards in 9 carries, his longest
gainer being a run of 35 yards.
Jackson gained 5 first downs,
2 by rushing, 2 by passing and
one by penalty but ran 46 total
offensive plays for 180 yards as
compared to 45 total plays for
the Mustangs, good for 232
yards.
Football has always been a
game of what might have been,
but there is little doubt that
Jackson at top strength could
have probably handled the
Mustangs with comparative
ease. The Devils squad, beset
by injuries and plagued by
accidents, is but a shell of the
team that began the season.
Coach Ron Wade said this week
he is proud of the spirit and the
aggressiveness of his team that
is playing under handicaps
that render them about half
effective.
Jackson makes a long trip
Friday night to Carrollton
where they will take on winless
Central of Carrollton in a
contest that might well allow
the Red Devils their thifd
victory of the season.
PMC E-Z Marl
Crushes
Falcons
PMC E-Z Mart traveled to
Barnesville and defeated the
Barnesville Falcons by the
score of 42 to 6. The defeat was
the first of the season for the
Falcons who had won six
games before facing the E-Z
Mart’s single wing attack.
Adrian Evans set up the first
touchdown with a 41 yard run
from scrimmage and then
scored from 2 yards out.
Lawrence Biles and A1 Duke
scored the second and third
touchdowns on runs of 10 and 14
yards respectively. Both two
point conversion attempts
were good and E-Z Mart
carried a 22 point lead to the
lockers at the half.
Barnesville came back
strong in the third quarter and
scored on a 40 yard pass play.
However the “EZ Riders” took*
the next kickoff and drove 86
yards to smash the Falcon’s
comeback hopes as A1 Duke
stiff-armed three defenders on
his 14 yard trip to six points.
Tim Kersey intercepted a
Falcon aerial on his 36 and two
plays later Terry Etheridge
ran 59 yards on a double
reverse to score. The final
score came on a 77 yard pass
from Duke to Etheridge as
Coach Skeeter Biles captured
his second straight win in as
many tries.

Final Second TD Enables
Jackson Team To Win 32-28
In a heart-stopping football
game, Jackson Drugs defeated
the Barnesville Raiders 32-28 in
a night contest at Gordon
Stadium in Barnesville.
Coach Wayne Dooley’s fired
up charges scored first when
Carey Thaxton intercepted a
Raider pass and ran 61 yards
untouched. The point after was
good and Drugs led 8-0. The
Raiders quickly got on the
board via an end sweep but the
PAT was no good. Jackson
Drugs made the score 14-6 as
Ronnie Dodson scored from 27
yards out. The Raiders came
right back and marched 66
yards to score closing the gap
to 14 to 12. They went ahead
20-14 when Brannon intercept
ed a Dodson toss and squirmed
61 yards to score. The Raiders
increased the lead to 28-14 via a

45 yard bomb as the first half
ended.
The start of the second half
was an indication of things to
come as Thaxton galloped 80
yards with the kickoff to
narrow Barnesville’s lead to
28-20. Thaxton again scored on
a 71 yard dash with 5 minutes
remaining in the game. The
PAT attempt to tie was short
which made the score 28-26 and
set the stage for a typical
“Hollywood” finish. Superb
defensive play gave Drugs a
final chance at the football on
their own 42 with 1:24
remaining. With no timeouts
left and the clock moving into
the final ten seconds, Carey
Thaxton again stepped into a
hero’s role as he twisted and
turned through an unbelieving
Raider secondary for 31 yards
and the winning touchdown.

Over Terps
This might be the week that
Penn State finally runs into a
little trouble. The sth-ranked
Nittany Lions have been
breezing through their 1973
schedule hardly stopping - or
needing - to breathe. However,
the vastly improved Maryland
Terps have been just on the
fringes of our top twenty all
fall, and they should give State
a busy afternoon. Upset is
possible, not too probable:
Penn State will win by 13
points.
And Ohio State and Michigan
will continue to blow their
opposition off the field. The
Buckeyes pounded Indiana a
couple of weeks ago . . this
week, it’s Michigan’s turn to
do the same. The Hoosiers will
be buried by 32 points by the
Wolverines. Ohio State will top
Illinois by 25. Ohio State is
rated second, Michigan,
fourth.
It’s about time we turned to a
run-down of our winning and
losing average for the first
seven weeks of the season. It
seems to become more of a
task each year bringing all the
scores up to date. Our over-all
average has crept just over the
75 percent mark. Of 1308
games, we have picked 986
correctly for a .753 average.
With the major colleges, our
percentage is almost 75
percent on the nose, but it’s in
the small college division in the
East where we’re doing our
best picking . . just under 79
percent.
Notre Dame and Southern
California both get some relief
after their nationally spotlight
ed meeting last Saturday. The
Irish, rated 7th, will beat Navy
by 23 points, and the 9th-ranked
Trojans will go back to Pacific
8 Conference warfare, tangling
with the Bears of California.
Southern Cal is favored by 25
points. Also on the West Coast,
Washington gets a dubious
crack at U.C.L.A. The Bruins
No. 6, will be much too
strong . . U.C.L.A. by about 46
points.
Houston ran into a Tiger and
was upset by Auburn last week.
The Cougars are in the number
18 spot in our ratings. Another
independent, Florida State, is
the opposition, and Houston
should go back to winning. The
Seminoles are 24-point under
dogs.
And once again the Big 8
Conference is the battle-ground
for no less than four major
contest. Number One ranked

PERSONAL
Andy Crumbley has been
moved from the intensive care
section of South Fulton
Hospital to a private room. No.
487, and is now able to eat solid
food regularly. Andy has been
examined by a neurosurgeon
from Colorado who maintains
it will take some 6-8 weeks for
the shock to subside that
occured to his nervous system
when the accident happened
after which further examina
tion will be made into his
condition. The doctor stated
Andy was receiving good
treatment as he could get at the
hospital under the present
condition. Andy is bright, alert
and conscious but has experi
enced some muscle spasms
this week and friends are
hoping for encouraging news at
the end of this 6-8 week period.
Andy was critically injured in
an automobile accident in
Atlanta in which several other
Jackson boys received cuts,
bruises and other injuries.
