A lad by the name of Harry Blackmon led a pack of
Blue Devils from Darlington to Zemp Field Friday night
and turned what was supposed to be a pushover into
a bang-up anybody's ball gsftne that hung undecided until
the final quarter when the Bulldogs finally found them
selves and sewed it up with a final touchdown and a
27-14 win.
Boasting an anything-but-en-1
viable season’s record, and slated
to get stomped, the Darlington
crew came to Camden for a fame
that had excited comparatively
little interest. However, the half
capacity crowd that saw the con
test had little chance to remem
ber that this was the contest at
which were supposed to be bored.
In spite of the rain that fell on
at least half the game; every quar
ter brought dazzling, squeal-pro
ducing runs and passes that left
the fans at the final whistle just
as hoarse, if not hoarser than
ever.
Things looked as though they
were to run true to form when,
after the Camden boys received
the opening kick-off, they rolled
up a quick first and ten to their
own 45. On the first of the newly-
acquired four downs, Fullback

George Beleosr, who was playing
Friday with a fractured wrist,
went over the left side of the
Blue Devils’ line like he was shot
from a cannon for 55 yards and
the first score of the ball game.
Jimmy Cox’s placement split the
uprights, and the Bulldogs led
7-0 with the game hardly three
minutes old.
And exchange of punts and the
Blue Devils went into their first
scoring threat Taking advantage
of a short quick kick, Blackmon
and Co., carried for two first
downs to the Bulldogs’ five, but
three plays later found themselves
seven yards back on the 12. One
more toy, and the Bulldogs took
over on their own ten.
The Bulldogs came out of the
hole with a first down to the 25,
but an intercepted pass left the
ball in Darlington’s possession as
the quarter ended.
A Darlington scoring threat
based on a long pass that would
have put the Devils on the Cam
den five was voided by an off
side penalty on the long pass
play. Darlington’s kick crossed
the Bulldog line, and was brought
out to the 20. After failing to
make the ten yards needed for a
first, Cox booted the ball to the
50 and into the waiting arms of
Harry Blackmon, the Blue Devils'
145 pound triple-threat tailback,
who chalked-walked the side
line all the way to pay dirt And

As soon as the Bulldogs had
received the kick following the
score, Tailback Jimmy Cox
squared away, and to prove that
he and his teammates were far
from cowed by any such brilliant
display of broken-field running,
proceeded to leave the entire Dar
lington eleven flat-footed while
he dashed 65 yards for the second
Camden score. Seconds later his
S lacement found the mark and
ic Bulldogs were once again in
front 14-7.
Camden’s kick was returned to
the 50. Blackmon carred to the
35, and one of a series of beau
tiful pass connections from Black
mon to Coggeshall, Darlington
end, set the Mil on Camden’s 25.
A 15-yard penalty on the Bull
dogs set the stage for Blackmon’s
end-around to scoreland. Gore
did it the hard way again, his
dropkick finding the mark, and
the score was tied 14-all.
A 30-yard Cox to Kerr pass
started another Bulldog drive in
the closing minutes of the halt
but the drive bogged on the 10,
and a minute or so later the first
half was history.
And the rains came.
Beginning the third period, the
two teams took the field in a
heavy rain that had the fans shiv-
vering.
Players, officials, football and
playing field were soaked in a
matter of seconds. The Bulldogs
had returned with the full reali
zation that they hid a job to do,
however, and aftor kicking-off to
the Blue Devils, forced them to
who cooly drop-kicked
through the uprights t
score 7-7.

punt after three tries. The kick
was returned to the Camden 40
from which point the Bulldogs
opened their bag of tricks and
moved steadily down field.
Four first downs and 50 yards
later Jimmy Cox skirted around
end for five yards and the third
Bulldog tally. The slick ball was
fumbled before it could be placed
into position for the placement,
however, and the try for extra
pqint was not good. Score, Cam
dei 20, Darlington 14.
Co-Captain Bud Barfield recov
ered the Bulldogs’ short kick off
on the Darlington 40 and the ball
remained in Camden’s posses
sion. They were forced to kick,
however, and Ralph Carnes, sub
stituting for Blackmon who was
taken out with injuries late in
the first half, took the boot on
his own 20 and returned for 40
yards to the Bulldogs’ 40. A few
plays late Gayle Kerr inter
cepted a Darlington aerial try
and gave the ball to the Bulldogs
on their 40, who set up a drive
for paydirt that finally bogged on
the Devils’ five yard line.
The Darlingtons’ kick was par
tially blocked and Camden took
ove again on their opponents’ 25.
In spite of a 15 yard penalty, the
Bulldogs took advantage of their
scoring opportunity and Jimmy
Cox found Gayle Kerr with a 25
yard pus that was good for the
final Bulldog touchdown.
point was good,
sheet read 27-14.
The ball remained inside the 30-

the contest, and when the final
whistle blew the Bulldogs had
possession of the ball near the
midfield stripe.
