Iii first downs Rockdale made 12 o 5 for the Eagles, and in yards gained rushing the locals chalked up 217 to 92 for Lexington. The Tigers tried only two passes, both of which were incomplete, and the Eagles completed 1 out of G for a gain of 11 yards passing.The entire Tiger team looked good, and showed unusual ability in downfield blocking, tackling and running. Jamie Alford played a whale of a game at end, as did Douglas Jackson, and Emerald | Morris and Walter Heckendorn were outstanding as guards. Crane had plenty on the ball with his running and passing, and Kyle did a good job of ball handling and signal calling. Morris ably took care of the Tiger heavy work, as well as passing, and Love, new nan in the backficld from end position turned a good game. Caf-fey did a good job as sub for left end, and Robert Yoakum’s half game in the backficld was outstanding, H. D. Maxwell was a powerhouse at tackle, and William Brown turned in a good game at tackle. Kyle and Morris were the only two team members who played the whole game. Crane carried the ball over for the Tiger touchdown, and ran the ball over for the extra point, on faked attempt to punt.The following game statistics See LEXINGTON GAME, Page 7
