Miller Tigers ruin
homecoming, 46-20: T.R. Miller’s offense went into passing gear Friday night
and ran away with a 46-20 decision over winless Evergreen. The loss, the Aggies
homecoming contest, put their record at 0-8. Miller is 4-4 for the year.
In the first quarter, Miller
back Tom Scarbrough picked up an Aggie fumble and outsprinted the Aggies on a
33-yard touchdown run. The extra point try failed.
Minutes later, Butch Stokes
plunged over the double line to conclude a Miller drive set up by an Evergreen
fumble. The last TD of the first quarter was made by Hank Davis on a five-yard
run. Sam Schad booted the PAT on the last two TDs to leave the score at 20-0
Miller at the end of the first quarter. Ronnie Overstreet and Chippy Byrne
provided the Miller scoring punch in the second quarter with scoring runs of 10
yards and one yard respectively. Schad added both extra points to give Miller a
34-0 lead at the half.
Evergreen rebounded in the
second half with its best offensive effort of the year. George Stinson found a
hole in the left side of the Miller defensive wall and galloped 60 yards for
the Aggie’s first TD. A quarter later, Bobby Sasser circled left end on a
double reverse and covered 63 yards before being dragged down on Miller’s five.
Bubba Faulkner pitched to Jack White for one yard and an Aggie score four plays
later and Wayne Caylor split the uprights with one of his two extra point kicks
of the evening. With little time left in the game, Glenn Bolton connected with
Bill Snowden for a 35-yard scoring pass and Caylor converted to end the Aggie
scoring at 20 points. Miller scored on two Sam Schad passes of three and 19
yards. His receivers were Ernie Parker and Jimmy Watson.
Ralph Pugh, age 12, proudly
exhibits the prize catch of a recent fishing trip made by Richard Brassell’s
class of the Evergreen Baptist Sunday School. Ralph, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester
Pugh, said the bass weighed well over six pounds when he caught it at 7:30 in
the morning. It still scaled five pounds, 10 ounces when the class got back to
town about three that afternoon.

Evergreen Aggies Maul
McKenzie 32-0 For Sixth Win Of The Year: The Evergreen High School Aggies had
little trouble moving to a 32 to 0 win over a game-but-overmatched McKenzie
Tiger eleven here last Friday night in Brooks Stadium.
Bobby “Pistol Pete” Wells was
again the top performer in the Aggie rearworks. The 123-pound pile-driver
scored twice and averaged eight yards per on five carries.
(Other outstanding Evergreen
players in that game included Ward Alexander Jr., James Andrews, Pace “Hot”
Bozeman, Clayton Cobb, Clinton Cobb, Shelton Craig, Cecil Culbreth, Gwyn
Daniels, Wayne Douglas, Allen Edson, Paul Hanks, Ed Hooks, Billy Lewis, Capt.
Jeff Moorer, Gillis “Red” Morgan, Max Pope, Bill Robinson, Sammy Robison,
George Salter, Lavon Shaver, Lavaughn Skipper, Joe Stowers, Johnny Ray Stowers,
Billy Watson and Franklin Williamson. Wendell Hart was Evergreen’s head coach.)
Aggies Play Repton Tomorrow
Night In Final Home Game Of The Season: The Evergreen High School Aggies wind
up their five-game home schedule here tomorrow (Friday) night at 7:30 with the
Repton Bulldogs on the opposite end of the field.
The game will move the Aggies
within two games of completing the season. Only tough T.R. Miller and up-to-now
undefeated Georgiana will be left.
The Aggies will go into the
Repton conflict with a record of six wins in seven starts, and that’s a good
record in anybody’s league. The Evergreens have lost but one game in their past
17 starts, winning 14 and tying two.
Last Home Game For Lyeffion
Here Tonight: The Lyeffion Jackets will close their 1950 home football slate
here tonight (Thursday) at 7:30. McKenzie’s Tigers will furnish opposition for
the Jackets in their last appearance before the home folks. Admission to the
game is 75 cents for adults and 40 cents for students.
Lyeffion has improved
steadily since the first game of the season. Tonight the Jackets meet a team with
whom they are evenly matched and the game promises to be a thriller. McKenzie
has a fancy passing attack which was good for 10 completed tosses against the
powerful Evergreen Aggies last week. On the other hand, the Jackets have a
smooth ground game with Billy Booker providing the spark.
DOMINO TOURNAMENT AT GYM
WEDNESDAY BENEFITS AGGIES: A domino tournament will be held at Memorial Gym,
Evergreen High School, next Wednesday night, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m. Proceeds of the
tournament will be used to entertain the Evergreen High Aggie football squad.
Domino players and others who
have enjoyed the play of the Aggies this year and would like to help do
something for them are urged to come up next Wednesday night and play.
Admission is $1 and card games will also be played.
The tournament is sponsored
by the mothers of the players.
McKenzie High Will Observe
Homecoming: Homecoming will be observed at McKenzie High School on Nov. 17, a
full evening of entertainment planned for all. Dinner will be served 5 p.m. to 7
p.m. in the school cafeteria. Following this, a football game between McKenzie
and Uriah will be played after which a square dance will be held in the school
auditorium.

Football Contest: The Repton high school football team won the county
championship Friday by defeating Evergreen, 14 to 7, in a game held in
connection with the Conecuh County fair.
The visitors scored in the
first period when Falkenberry, center, recovered a punt on the Evergreen five-yard
line and recovered over the goal line. They tallied again in the second period
when Richard Brown, fullback, faded back to pass but instead ran down the
sideline 45 yards to a touchdown.

Evergreen Takes Game From
Montgomery: In a fast game here Saturday, the State Secondary Agricultural
School team easily defeated the visiting Montgomery County High School boys.
The visitors were outclassed from the start. Montgomery won the toss and chose
to defend the north goal. She attempted a forward pass on the first play, but
it was broken up by Phillips, half for Evergreen. Montgomery lost the ball on
downs. Dunn, on a fake end run, carried the ball 35 yards for a touchdown.
After this, the Aggies scored at will.
Ward in the second quarter
made an end run for 45 yards. Phillips making touchdown on end run. Several
forward passes were used successfully by the Aggies, the visitors being
absolutely unable to do anything with their passes. Stallworth accepted
Cunningham’s forward pass making touchdown. Cunningham and Stallworth each
failed to kick goal, four goals being kicked successfully. Ward and Dunn
starred for Evergreen.

THE EVERGREEN STAR
Hunters and fishermen are
having a splendid time. The woods are full of meat, and the waters are warm and
clear.
Jeff Henderson accidentally
shot and killed himself Friday afternoon. He went squirrel hunting in the
morning and was found dead in the woods about a mile west of Evergreen the next
day. His empty gun was lying at his feet, and a dead squirrel in some brush
near the breech of it. He had evidently discharged the gun while trying to
extricate the squirrel with the butt.
