Forty Niners of the National Football League The game to be played at Municipal Stadium will decide whether Johnson City rakes in the whole pot in the Big Seven Conference race or is forced to share the winnings with D-B and Morristown D-B has four starting backs who are going to be hard to overlook when the all-conference selections are made Richard McGlothlin Andy Brooks Archie Hensley and Ron Releford Johnson City has a quarterback who is a serious contender for All-State laurels in Tommy Sholes who thrives on throwing touchdown passes to end Sammy Stewart Latest victory for D-B came Friday night over Oak Ridge 21-0 in the Atomic City McGlothlin scored one touchdown ran the ball 18 times for 60 yards and completed' a pass for 17 more Hensley scored a TD and was top ground gainer

performance The win was D-Bs seventh against two losses and sixth in a row The two defeats by a total margin of eight points were inflicted by Virginia state power Glass and Morristown the lOth-ranked team in Tennessee Big'defensive cog for D-B against the Ridgers was junior guard Kent Stair who probably couldnt have done any better if he had been in the Oak Ridge huddle listening to the" plays The

school career took it all in stride After all the Gate City flash set career scoring record for Southwest Virginia and in his three varsity seasons led the Blue Devils to a 29-1 record With numerous college scouts wooing him Baker now must make up his mind where he plans to continue his gridiron career Baker who runs like a Sherman tank was overturned several times by Church Hills dandy

not the school is considering it football at the school with a walloping 40-0 win over Happy Valley Ketron which still has a game left with Oliver Springs fell behind by a touchdown early in the contest then steamrolled Sullivan Thomas a 190-pound charger carried 17 times for 217 yards scored a pair of touchdowns and added a crucial extra point when it really counted early in the game One of his TDs came on a 93-yard scamper that set a school record for length from scrimmage The Wildcats now 7-1-1 over-all regained the reign from Rogersville in the Rotherwood and knocked defending champion Sullivan from the throne in the ULC In keeping with tradition the Wildcats splashed one another with Coke after the game a substitute for champagne It was all part of the victory celebration

Mistakes kept Duke in hot water throughout the first yard field goal by Tommy Carmichael until less than three minutes remained before intermission Bill Eastman a defensive star who played most of the way at quarterback because of Tech injuries got the Yellow Jackets first touchdown with 2:36 left in the half when after fumbling an attempted pitchout he picked up the bouncing ball and ran 16 yards
