DAYS GONE BYE...BY TOM BOGGS
Three Decades of Tigers and Devils
You're just as right as rain. I have
rambled on about Demopolis Tigers
and Linden Red Devils, along with
reporting on Thomaston Tigers and
Sweetwater Bulldogs, on these
pages thelast 14 years or so, but this
will be a little different. Let's take a
moment this week just to scratch the
surface of these football teams in
1940, 1950, and finish up with
1960.
A few players for the Red and
White of Linden in 1940 under
Coach Stutz were Tony Vick,
Dewey Watson, J.W. Honeycutt and
Harold Glass. The Devils
whupped up on Magnolia 40-0, over
Sweetwater 7-0, and it was reported
that Ford Lewis played the best
game for the Bulldogs, and Linden
Tied Thomaston 6-6.
Up north of the Bogue that year
there were players such as Bobby
Matthews, John Robert Rankin,
Freddie Rut ledge, John Caldwell,
Francis Boozer, Ralph McNeil, Joe
Rankin and Austin Caldwdl. This
bunch under Coach Bully Hitchcock
kept Linden from sweeping the
county by winning that game 31-0.
Comes the season of 1950, after
we'd beat up for real on the axis
powers in the big war five years
before. Coach Chink Lott was the
general at Demopolis, guiding the
likes of Ed Eddins, Douglas Lott,
John Kane, Harry Coker, Bill Rorie,
Eddie Jackson, Eddie, Ronnie and
Dewey Willingham and Tommy
Ware. Demopolis played and beat
Thomaston 13-0, some of those
Thomaston Tigers being Jack
Crocker, William Rankin and Tony
Cannon. Once more, the Demopolis
Tigers put it on the Devils 63-0 with
Ralph Lewis making the last Tiger
score on a quarterback sneak from
the4 yard line.
Down 'cross the creek in the
county seat, the new coach was
Homer Wesley who headed up
Devils such as Pat Vice, Jack and
Bobby Clark, Perry Nichols, Jack
McClinton, Tommy Short, Bob
Nichols, Don Peppenhorst, Kenneth
Greene, Jack Pierce and Robert
Duke. Other teammates that year
were Jeff Foxhall, Pete Barkley,
Frank Dunn, Spickey Chadwick and
Shug Barnes. I remember all these
fellows well, and they were a tough
bunch, but they had some tough

Science Saturdays are
designed to give young students

enthusiasm that students need
not only to learn the basics of
science and math, but also gain
the tools to further their studies
in the field.
The workshop, is and,
open to all children in third
through eighth grades. The
series is supported in part by the
College of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics. Spaces are limit-

luck, and the Linden newspaper
chose not to print too much about
the outcome of most of their games
that particular year.
A new era had begun for Linden
during the 1958 season under Coach
Pistol Henders, but during the 1960
grid wars Linden only managed to
salvage 5 games in the win column
although they were building with
fellows such as Kenneth and Marvin
Tucker, and the Devils did triumph
over the Blue Tigers 13-0, although
Thomaston, playing with John
Moseley, Tommy McKnight and
Wayne Lewis, put it on Linden 19-6,
with Sweetwater and Linden bat-
tling to a 7-7 tie. Things would'def-
initely take a turn for the better 9n
the Linden plains in subsequeht
years.
I
The Coach of the Demopolis
Tigers in 1960 was Charlie Stough,"
and a few of his grid warriors were
Jimmy Barger, Melvin Abrams,
Billy Duke, Don Black, Lewis
Hunter Compton, Gene Shirley,
Bobby Kidd, and Cecil Bedsole.
Some hard hitting boys but they
didn't hit on ally cylinders that year
as they only managed to win two
games over Livingston and Eutaw
and a 13-13 tie with York.
That was the last decade of foot- .
ball for Marengo County High at
Thomaston, as that school closed,
and the Linden Red Devils ended up
in the history books, as they gave
way to the mw Linden Patriots.
Meanwhile the Sweetwater
Bulldogs started producing state
champions as a way of life, and the
Demopolis Tigers' trophy case
began to bulge with Regional and
State awards earned, and the
Patrio took off themselves.
Regardless of wins. losses or ties,
back in the day, when there was a
football squaring off between'
Demopolis, Linden, Thomaston and
Sweetwater, it would be a good time
for a burglar to check out the down-
town area since most everybody
was standing four or five deep on
the sidelines watching their favorite
,t'critters",'whe]ther Devils, Tigers of.
Bulldogs, and those pretty cheer-
leaders on both sidelines were hap-
pity, leading the crowd with "Our
bays gon shine tonight...our boys
gon shine."
