Trojans Win, 25-12 In Final Game At New Smyrna, 1953

1953
 
NEW SMYRNA - Willie Poole and Cornelius Williams made up a one-two punch that floored the New Smyrna gridders, 25-12, last night on the East Coast schools gridiron.
 
Poole flashed across the New Smyrna goal line three times, and Williams scored the other TD after taking a pass from quarterback Cliff Smalley, who also added the only extra point of the night. Williams also played an outstanding game at end, after being switched to the line spot from his regular backfield position.
 
Leroy Mitchell produced both the host team's scores on short plunges set up by sustained drives.
 
Coach Dabney complimented the line play of Steve Patterson and Hamie Gillard as outstanding in a good overall performance by the Trojan forwards.
 
Last night's contest was the finale on the 1953 schedule. The Trojans racked up an impressive 7-2 record, with five of the wins and one loss coming form Central Florida Athletic Conference competition. The Trojans are now on top of the league int he won-lost standings, but may lose out as league champions due to the point system method that decides the winner. Some of the Conference teams still have another game to play, so the eventual champ will not be named until after the season is over. A large crowd of local fans attended last night's game, including the Trojan band members, who performed at halftime.
