Cunnberland University, End Coach 1948 GRID SEASON As the first chilled nights of autumn had started to turn the leaves to that never-to-be- forgotten hue, Coach Joe Black Hayes ' third Bulldog eleven opened the season full of dreams and prospects of the best Cumberland team in several decades. The season opened against Bethel on the Bull- dogs ' own Kirk Field and, as had been expected, the Bulldogs prevailed over the Corporals by a convincing 26 to 6. Then came the unforeseen: a good Austin Peay team caught the Bulldogs flat and thor- oughly thrashed the Bulldogs 39 to 7. Left to Right: Hayes, Beasley. Lawrence.

However the Following week-end found Florida State ' s big Seminoles administering the second of such lessons as the Bulldogs fought gamely before a fast moving foe. The Seminoles, rolling relentlessly on the ground and striking swiftly through the air, kept the situation well in hand for sixty minutes and won handily 30 to 0. The familiar confines of the home stadium seemed to have no effect as little Tusculum upset the Bulldogs 7 to 6.

Gloomy tides had swept the campus after three consecutive losses, yet the coaches, a few Faithfuls, and the maroon and white warriors still believed they were capable of playing win- ning football. A powerful Georgetown team invaded the Bulldog lair favored to win by several touch- downs. hHowever, the valiant Bulldogs rose to their greatest heights and virtually blasted Georgetown off the field v ith a ringing 14 to 7 upset. Seven days later the Bulldogs extended their win streak to two in a row with a 12 to 7 win over a stubborn UT Junior College eleven. Then came the big moment, the climax to the greatest homecoming in the long history of the university. The Bulldogs entered the game a solid favorite over Union ' s mediocre team, hiovv- ever. Union, capitalizing on the breaks, upset the Bulldogs 14 to 6. With enthusiasm at a new low the battered but game Cumberland eleven invaded MTSC for another game of the bitter rivalries. The Bulldogs gained the yardage but MTSC scored the points as Cumberland dropped number five, I 3 to 0. 76 JAMES SATTERFIELD End Hartsvllle. Tenn.

Delta State ' s fine eleven topped the maroon and white gladiators this time, as the season ended with a 3-6 record. The outstanding players for the ' 48 season were, Carl Boley, All-conference halfback; Gene Law- rence, fullback; Jack King and Gene Lentz, guards selected on the second All-conference team; and Benton Whiteaker, center, second All-conference team; Robert McCullough, end, second All-con- ference team.

There were very few returning lettermen and Coach Pete Craig had ro rebuild his quintet as Coach Kirby Jordan had built his teanns in the previous sea- sons. The season saw little to delight the average Cumberland fan.

CARL BOLEY Forward Decatur, Ala. EARL BARBOUR Forward Lebanon, Tenn. CARROLL SMITH Forward Hartsville, Tenn. OBIE FREEMAN Forward Manchester, Tenn. the highlights of the season. At times the efforts of the squad was gallant but the scores of the opponents were too often above sixty. Lacking height, experience and re- serves, the Bulldog cagers had a most unimpressive four victories in thirty games. hHowever Bob Jennings ' spirit and drive; Carl Boley ' s amazing ability to drive under the basket; hlubert Smothers ' fine game against LMU; Bull Williams ' fine play at center and the great teamwork and leadership of Sam Kennedy are all memories of the ' 49 season. Boley and O. Freeman were the high scorers of the team, with Boley being named on the second All-conference team. ROBERT JENNINGS, Alt-Capt., Guard, Nashville, Tenn. PETE CRAIG, Coach.

BASEBALL The 1948 baseball team enjoyed by far the best season of any major athletic team at Cumberland in the past eight years. The team, Coached by Kirby Jordan and Captained by versatile Jack hHamlin, played with the old College spirit that has not been predominant in intercollegiate competition since the end of World War II. The team was well balanced at all positions, mostly with veteran baseball players who knew what they and did their respective jobs witii d omg LEFT: A quartet of sluggers: Gibson, Clark, Grissrm and Beasley CLAUDE KERR, lb.

This team was probably one of the all time great baseball teams at Cumberland. The Bulldogs, in winning 10, losing 4, and tie- ing 2 games, defeated their arch rivals from MTSC and TPI in a major athletic contest for the first time since the basketball team accom- plished this feat in 1941. C. Kerr, Jack hHamlin, Brown Braley and Jack King led the Bulldogs at the plate, while Bob Jennings, Ed Gibson and Gene HHoyt had the best records of the pitchers.
