EMORY AND HENRY 7 APPLACHIAN STATE 0 Emory and Henry drove 54 yards in the opening canto for the only score of the game. Thereafter they only outplayed and outhustled the heavier Mountaineers. Harr)- Yost, Jim Raines, and Dewey O'Connor continued efforts for the Wasp’s first touchdown. Bob Rose added the extra point. Despite threats, the Mountaineers lost their last chance to score in the third quarter. They didn’t near the goal posts again. Bob Lenair’s tremendous punting kept the Mountaineers in the hole the entire contest. EMORY AND HENRY 13 WEST VIRGINIA TECH 6 Excellent teamwork payed off as the Wasps brought home a victory over favored West Virginia. Emory took advantage of a Tech fumble in the first quarter and con- verted it into a touchdown. End Levi Otcy fell on the Tech fumble on the West Virginia 38. A pass interference penalty placed the ball on the 12 and following three short plunges, Bill Halloway scored from the four. Dale Rose’s attempt for the extra point was unsuccessful. Tech’s halfback scampered 41 yards to the Emory Six in the feature run of what turned out to be Tech’s only score. Emory threatened twice more be- fore the half ended but was unable to score on the slippery turf. During the third period, Tech moved the ball to Emory’s 23 but they held by the line on downs. Hal McHarris recovered a Tech fumble on the Tech 48 with only ten minutes left in the game. Jimmy Raines ran the integral touchdown. Rose’s attempt for the extra point was successful. EMORY AND HENRY 6 WESTERN CAROLINA 0 Emory ended the season by de- feating the West Carolina Cata- mounts, 6—0. Jimmy Crews raced through the mud for 20 yards and a Wasp touch- down late in the third quarter. The try for the extra point failed but was not needed as the Wasps had scored the only touchdown of the game. The Wasps threatened twice more in the third quarter and once in the fourth. Two attempted field goals by Dave Looney failed and a Wasp pass was intercepted in the end zone to halt the other rally. Bob Lenair continued his out- standing punting for the Wasps by averaging 37.16 yards on nine kicks.
