HOMECOMING '62 Emory ended Washington and Lee's winning streak by a rousing score of 38-33 and took the Homecoming honors off the field. The crowd for the day was the largest ever for an Emory game at home and every play proved to add excite- ment to the tales which would grow and be retold for years about this game. The first touchdown was by Emory’s Earl Hawkins and he returned the kickoff. From then on the game was a hard battle. Halftime festivities provided relief and Miss Carolyn Foard was crowned Homecominq Queen. The last few seconds of the game were too much for the crowd and the countdown from 34 seconds to the end was an eternity. The excitement of the day was saddened by the death of Dean V. $. Armbrister at the end of the game. A victorious team joined with their fellow students in the sorrow of the day. but the memory of the greatest game ever played on Fullerton Field would live on forever.
