Evans undefeated

Coach Red Bullock's Black Knights played on of their most impressive games of the season Friday night when they came through with an easy victory of the Jackson, S.C. Indians in a free-scoring interstate football game in Evans to remain undefeated. At the end of the game the score was 33-14.

The mighty Black Knights took the lead in the first period of play on a 75-yard run by fullback Larry Kirk. Halfback Melvin Gray ran for the extra point.

The win left Evans with four wins, no losses and a tie.
