BULLDOGS CHEW
UP TIGERS BY 23
TO 7 STORE FRI.
CHS Eleven Outfights Im-
proved Clarksville Team
For Win
Dazing their opponents by run-
ning back the opening kick-off for
a touchdown, the Cooper High
School Bulldogs outfought the
Clarksville Tigers Friday night to
cinch their first district triumph
by a margin of 23 to 7.
Captain Marshall Robnett took
the kick on his own 18 yard line,
dashed back to his 40 yard stripe
wnere his mates’ excellent blocking
cleared a path for him, then broke
into the clear and outran the Tig-
nr safety to the last white line
for the six points. Robnett then
plunged through for the extra
point.
The aroused Tigers came back
to score their “Only touchdown.
Taking the kick, they marched for
four first downs before being
checked on the Bulldog 30 where
they kicked. The punt was fumb-
led by Foster and a Tiger end re-
covered on the Cooper 9. Two
thrusts at the line showed a small
loss but the next play Brindley
slid off left end for the score.
A pass to Pinson converted the
extra point. The touchdown wa3
protested at it was apparent to the
majority of the spectators that a
Clarksville guard was off side and
a wing back in motion before the
ball was snapped. Referee Taylor
disallowed the protest saying the
back was in motion but jumped
back to position just before the
ball was snapped. Had this been
the case the Tigers should have
drawn a 15 yard penalty for a
shift being made without sufficient
time elapsing before the ball was
passed back.
The deadlock did not last long.
Cooper took the kick but failed to
gain and after an exchange of
punts M. Robnett got off a beau-
tiful boot to the “coffin corner”
where the CHS ends killed it on
the one yard line. The Tigers fail-
ed to gain on a try at the line and
on an attempted end around R. D.
Harvey tossed the ball carrier for
a long loss in the end zone for a
safety and two points.
The final Cooper scores came in
each of the last two periods.
In the middle of the third stanza,
Robnett dashed through a gaping
hole made by Jack Briscoe and
Oarroll Carrington and left the
'j^ger secondary flatfcoted to run
55 yards for a count. Early in
the fourth quarter, Hurley snagged
a 12 yard heave and ran the re-
maining 30 yards untouched for
(the final marker. Robnett con-
verted both extra points with
plunges.
The Tigers showed a far better
combination than last year but
without the breaks they received
they would probably have been,
whitewashed. After their first
drive, the Bengals’ attack was
stalled through the defensive ef-
forts of the entire black and gold
line. Charlie Brock, Gene Moss,
Albert Conway, Walter Chandler,
Eldon Stewart, Carroll Carrington,
• Dayton Craig, Jack Briscoe, Eu-
gene Carrington, Hurley and Har-
vey played a fighting brand of ball
that refused to be beaten.
Marshall Robnett’s two long
dashes easily took off offensive
1 onors for the night without con-
sidering his passing, kicking and
the shorter gains he ^reeled. One
of the best gaimes on the field
was displayed by Ed Robnett, who
should have backed up the Coop-
•r line, but instead stayed in the
Clarksville backfield half the
game, downing the orange backs
for a loss after loss. Johnny Hen-
son did the best blocking he has
shown this season and in addition
picked up some nice yardage for
Cooper.
If Cooper’s future opponents had
scouts in the stands they failed to
sea anything in the offensive line
but straight football. Don Fos-
ter called a steady game at quar-

Last Saturday afternoon the lo- •
cal CCC camp football team play-;
ed its first game of the season. |
Their opponents were the repre-j
sentatives of the Kaufman CCC
camp. The score was 7 to 0 in i
favor of the visitors,
j While both teams showed a lack,
of practice sufficient to develop
good team work, the visitors show-j
ed more experience as a unit than
the local crew. With a month of;
practice, however, the Kaufman
men were not able to gain more:
first downs than the Cooper men, j
who organized their team less than
two weeks ago. The first downs
were about equal for the two
teams.
The single score was the result
of a fumble. After a punt by the
visiters, the ball was put in play
about two yards from the Cooper
goal line. Squint Williams, one of
the most experienced of the local
players, misunderstood a signal
and the result was a fumble be-
hind the Cooper goal line. The
ball was recovered by a Kaufman
man, and the play went for a
touchdown for the visitors, who
put the ball over with a line plunge
for the extra point.
The starting line-up for the local
men was: Dunn, RE; Rowan, RT;
Dupriest, RG; A. Williams, C; Fra-
zier, LT; Gregg, LG; Jennings, LE;
S. Williams, QB. Fellenz, RH;
Spears, LH; Pounds, FB.
Substitutions were: Daniels for
Pounds, Hulse for S. Williams.
Loyd for Rowan, Childress for A.
Williams, Bobbit for Dupriest.
Referee: E. Y. Harpole; umpire,

form, entitled "The Skyline’’. If
you come to see a moving picture
you will be disappointed. But if
you come to see the work of the
National Missionary in a typical
city mission you will likely be well
impressed with the service the
church is rendering.
If you are a Presbyterian you
will find special interest in thi3
message. If you belong to some

especially interesting. The com-
parison and contrast of the work

have that well kept front to pre-

Natural beauty Is not a luxury.
It is a necessity. We can deny

George Butler, 11 year old negro

church Saturday night about 9:30
o’clock.
The arrests were made by Depu-
ty Sheriffs Loyd Blankenship and
L. B. Carrell soon after the shoot-
ing and the boys are being held
as no bonds will likely be made.
Officers said the Johnson boy,
who owned the 38 calibre pistol,
had loaned it to Givens. Justice
of Peace Robert Morris said Infor-
mation elicited at an inquiry Mon-
day was to the effect that Givens
had been pulling the pistol on a
number of children that night
scaring them into holding up their
hands.
It was alleged that witnesses to
the shooting stated that the But-
ler boy told Givens that unless ho
stayed away from the car In which
he was sitting that he would tell
his father. Givens was said t.o have
stepped on the running board, pull-
ed the gun and fired at close range.
The bullet that killel the boy en-
in the center of the fore-
hed ancl emerged from the back
of the left side of his head. He died
instantly. So close was the gun
fired that the victim was powder
burned about the forehead.
Mr. Carrell said that Johnson
was said to have disposed of the
gun after the shooting, throwing
It in the light plant pool. Givens
told officers after his arrest that
he did not know the pistol was
loaded and that he was only
playing with the gun the en-
tire night.
