It was a game replete with suspense, excitement and good football. Not to mention heroism and courage both individually and trams as a whole. Over the 10-game stretch weve had many disappointments but a lot more happy moments, such as Huntsville's victories over MBA and Guntersville and Butler's decisions over Deshler, Athens, Sheffield and Memphis Tech. The disappointing times were in the Panthers losses to Decatur, Sheffield. Emma Sansom; Butler loses to Gadsden, Decatur, Cullman.

Friday night we were thrilled with a display of wide open, rock em-sock em footbaH that would please any fan. We made the wrong pick, which was the case -so many times during the past season. But right or wrong, we thought the game was a clean-fought, hard-played contest with better team coming out on top. Now the lads can turn their thoughts to basketball. Many of Friday night's performers will doff the grid moleskins for the basketball scanties.

And here we go again, for both Butler and Huntsville are reported to be well-laden with basketball talent this coming season. As in football, time will tell.

Field goals brought victories to the Tigers and Tide in the waning seconds. Ed Dyas, Auburns threepoint specialist, won a duel from Georgia's Durward Pennington in a 9-6 ball game.

Dyas kicked three field goals to establish a new national record of 16. Pennington booted a couple to keep the Bulldogs on the heels of the Tigers. Dyas third came in the last seconds. Most dramatic, however, was the one kicked by Alabamas Richard ODell. With the ball sailing through the air goalward, the clock ran out.

Had it missed, Tech would have won, 15-13. But the ball went through and the Tide had a 16-15 thriller in an astounding comeback. Tommy Wells, of Tech, got into the field-goal picture, booting one from 47 yards out. When the experts widened the goals little did they realize how it would affect field goals. More have been tried and made this season than in the.
