Harley Ioe gets ready to block while Shirley meets trouble in the backfield with the Flying Eagles. whether they performed under the bright MOOREMEN DEFEATED IN OPENING CLASH OPENING THEIR 1952 football season with the scrappy Pioneers of East Bank on September 5, the Red Devils drew the short end of a 14-6 score. Almost a replica of last year's performance, the game was an exhibition of Pioneer ability to capitalize on Red Devil fumbles and inexperience. Devil disappointments started early in the game when East Bank intercepted an Oak Hill pass in- tended for Monty Donachy and returned it for a score. The conversion was successful. In the second period the Pioneers again upped the score six points by a series of goalward plays. The extra point attempt was again good. Trying desperately to build morale and en- courage their boys in red, cheers from the Oak Hill section mingled with those of East Bank as the Red Devils fought hard to score. Things brightened con- siderably in the third quarter when Shirley Burgess, on a pass from Mole Holstein, sped 20 yards through the Pioneer secondary for the lone Red Devil touchdown of the evening. STOCO FALLS BEFORE DEVIL STRENGTH OUT-PLAYING, OUT-SCORING, and out run' ning the Stoco Indians, the Red Devils gained their first mark in the win column for the '52 season by a lop-sided score of 25-O. Monty Donachy opened the Collins scoring spree in the second period when he picked up an Indian fumble and trotted 35 yards to cross the goal stripe standing up. The attempted kick for the extra point was wide. Shirley Burgess, speedy left half, whipped around left end for two touchdowns in the third quarter -the first, on a 70-yard sprint from an off- tackle play, andthe second from a pass from quarter- back ' Mole Holstein, followed by a IO-yard plunge over the goal line. Getting possession of the ball on downs, the Red Devils tallied again in the final period when Shirley traveled 42 yards for the final TD of the evening. Robert Plumb's kick for the conversion was good. PRINCETON HANDS COLLINS SECOND DEFEAT SURPRISED BY THE ROARING ATTACK of the Princeton Tigers, September 19, the Red Devils dropped their second game of the season in a tus- sle played in the Tiger stronghold. The contest ended with the Devils on the unhappy side of a 26-7 score. Although Princeton dazed the Devils by scoring in every period, the Collins eleven never gave up in their fight to reach the double stripe. In the fourth quarter the Oak Hill fans went wild while the only Devil score was chalked up by the Collins secondary. Taking the ball the Mooremen drove downfield to the goal where Iohn Finley dashed from the seven-yard line, past Tiger opposi- tion to score standing up. Hartenstein's extra point kick was good. Time ran out on the Red Devils just as they were getting their second breath. RED DEVIL RALLY PROVES SUCCESSFUL PICKING UP MOMENTUIVI AFTER a slow first quarter, Red Devil gridmen scored in every quarter to defeat the Fayetteville Pirates, 27-13, and maintain their long record of wins over the boys from the county seat. In the second quarter Shirley Burgess, on a pitchout from quarterback Mole Holstein, plunged over the goal stripe for the score. Frank Hartenstein's kick was good. Fayetteville later made their scoring bid when Tommy Eubanks, Pirate quarterback, tossed a for- ward pass to end, Mark Haney. Their conversion was good. In the third quarter lack Terry raced 54 yards for the tie-breaking score. Shortly after, Bobby Green, Collins fullback, outran Pirate opposition for a 37, yard TD jaunt. Hartenstein again converted, In the final period Shirley Burgess, although suffering an injured knee, took a Fayetteville kickoff and, behind beautiful blocking, rornped untouched for 85 yards and the last score. Frank Hartenstein. freshman place kicker, again converted.
