Honorable Mention All-State-Center BOB TUCKER Hewtins plunges over Maryvill» lino for a two-point conversion BILL 80LLING EMORY 14 MARYVILLE 7 Maybe you have to expect a let-down, but it wasn't the same Emory and Henry team on the field against Maryville as the one that out-hustled and out-played Washington Lee a week earlier. The fact is. our Wasps were out-played for three quarters of the boll game. With the exception of the opening touchdown drive, the Wasps didn't begin to play the ball they were capable of playing until the fourth quarter. Then it was all Emory. C. A. Burton started the team off with his game-winning 80-yard touchdown run. smashing through the left side of the Scottie line. He was hit by two tacklers at the 25 but just lowered his head and ran right over them. Earl Hawkins gave a nice second effort to get the two-point conversion, making the score 14-7—Emory.

They had just about everyone con vinced mid-way the third period as they ran up a seemingly insur- mountable 33 to 14 bulge. Everyone, that is. except the Wasps. Bending their backs to the task, the Blue and Gold came roaring back with a vengeance. Playing like a team possessed, they ran roughshod over the shocked Generals and. moments before the fiinal gun. pushed across the winning touchdown to post a spine-tingling 38 to 33 victory. The final twenty-three minutes saw the Wasps put to a task and come out on top. They took the kick-off following W L's third tally of the second half and drove to the four-yard line. There. Hawkins came charging through again for the score and threw to Bill Munsey for the PAT. This made the score 33-22. W L. Curt Campbell intercepted a pass on the General 28. and two plays later Hawkins went over right tackle 26 yards for the score. Bobby Magill threw to Lin Parrish for the score and W L's lead was cut to 33-30. After W L was stopped on the Wasp 27. Emory marched to the winning score with Hawkins going over on fourth and inches. He threw to Hite for the PAT and the clincher to a sweet 38-33 victory. 77
