St. Bernard Football
By Robert J. Lawler, Special Correspondent
Cullman football fans are promised a treat this Saturday afternoon when Coach Charlie Richards’ tricky St. Bernard football team lines up for the opening whistle against the Howard freshmen.
Home talent predominates on the squad with the offensive built around that rarest of things, a deceptive back, in this case Clyde White, rangy signal-caller. All but two of the starting squad will be from Cullman county.
Despite the hot weather the spirit and zest of his charges brings a deep-weather smile of contentment to the face of the tall coach. The Saints’ line makes up in speed and hard charges what they lack in bulk, producing results eminently pleasing to their coach. The backfield fondles the “prolate elliptical spheroid” like a mother does her child, in many plays as many as five men handling the ball.
Using a single and double wing-back formation, which is patterned after the famed plays of Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, the tough Howard crew will find plenty to worry them during the sixty minutes of play, though Richards refused to be quoted as to his chances of winning. Boutte and White will do most of the passing while White and Thom, first-string center, who will be pulled out of the line in case of necessity, are scheduled to take care of the kicking end.
Richards has scheduled most of the later games for Cullman in order that this town may enjoy a well-drilled team. The climax of the season is set for November 24 with a game against the Spring Hill Frosh, who have one of the best teams in the history of the school. “We will run them off the field” claimed Richards, a former star with Spring Hill. “I would rather beat them than Notre Dame.” After seeing his team in action, I am inclined to believe him.
Starting Line-up:
Dunlap—l. e.
Gibbs—l. t.
Williams—l. g.
Thom—c.
Jackson—r. g.
Singleton—r. t.
Teague—r. e.
White—q. b.
Sachs—h. b.

Shaw, Co-Captain—f. b.
Game to be played at Cullman High School Park at 2:30 o’clock, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 9th.

Hanceville School News
Hanceville, Nov. 6.—The first issue of the “Reflector,” the paper put out by the senior class, appeared last week. It consisted of four pages of mimeographed copy. For a first appearance it was a distinct success. The seniors and Miss Cagle are to be congratulated. They are now working hard on the next issue with this motto before them: “The biggest room in the world is room for improvement.”
The Hallowe’en carnival held here Tuesday night for the benefit of the band, was a success. Everybody had a good time and the band made some much needed money. Miss Helen Plunkett, the candidate of the senior three class, was crowned queen of the carnival. In a spirited contest she defeated Mary Dunlap, put forward by the senior twos, and Margaret Thigpen, senior one representative. The vote for the winner was in excess of 2800. The slate of candidates was an unusually attractive one and a mistake was not, and could not have been made.
The Bulldogs had rather less luck against Dora Friday. Four fumbles within the five yard line and a partially blocked punt, spelled a 12-0 defeat. The last Dora touchdown in the fourth quarter was a fine show of offensive football. Although our boys made 10 first downs to Dora’s five, they could not hold the pigskin. Cantley, Wilson and Reid did some good passing and running for the visitors. Capt. Basenberg turned in a good game at end and Reid did some skillful passing for the local outfit. Friday Hanceville meets Falkville there. Hold that ball, Bulldogs!
The first P. T. A. meeting held Monday night was well attended but not well enough. All parents who have an interest in the welfare of their children, and we assume that includes all parents, are urged to be present at the next meeting.
