In what will probably go down in the records as one of the most spine thrilling and hard fought games seen in these areas in many a moon. Coach Hubert Dabney's Carver Heights Trojans defeated the Euclid Tigers from DeLand last night by the tune of 13-7.

The game was so tense and close that not a fan breathed freely in the waning moments of the game as DeLand was knocking at the Trojans goal throughout the last 12 minutes of play. In the end, it was a stalwart ground and pass defense that closed out all hopes for the previously undefeated Tigers. Up until last night, only one team had crossed the Tigers goal for six points, who came into town boasting a perfect record of 4-0, all in conference play. From the very outset, the Trojans scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. One being a 50 yard off tackle run by sophomore Willie "Pop" Hannah. Once in the clear, Hannah outsped all would be tacklers and crossed into the promised land with not a hand being laid on him.

The other score came as a result of a blocked punt and covered in the endzone by James Gavin, an eight grade student. Outstanding in pass interceptions for the Trojans was Arthur Gardner, another Sophomore who broke the Tigers back when everything looked rosy. Next week the Trojans travel to Haines City and will not be at home again until Homecoming November 5.
