Three times GMC drove inside South Georgia's 10 yard line before scoring on a quarterback keep by Larry Laster in the second quarter after a drive from midfield. Larry Baynham toed the extra point. The half ended with GMC holding a 7-0 lead. The second half, however, was a different story. South Georgia poured in the reserves as GMC tired and put on two powerful drives netting the Tigers two touchdowns in the second half, both scored by quarterback Hill, with Vesprille running both extra points to make the scoreboard read South Georgia 16, GMC 7, at the end of a thrill- packed struggle before a large and enthusiastic opening crowd. The fine play of Larry Laster at quarterback and the great kicking of Bob Walters kept GMC in the running until the last whistle. Dewey Ward and the two GMC ends, Sonny Mobley and Ramsey Parker, also played well.

GMC 0 MIDDLE GEORGIA O It was a case of history repeating, but with a slightly different cast, on the night of Oct. 2 when the Bulldogs traveled to Cochran to meet another old rival, the Wolverines of Middle Georgia College. Both teams made threats, the Bulldogs setting up a hrst down on the enemy two-yard line in the second quarter. and GMC stopping Coach Cliff Coggin's boys on the four in the third period. But, as in the 1957 game, neither team could score and the game ended in another scoreless deadlock. Sonny Mobley, aggressive Bulldog right end, was the only casualty with a leg injury. The hard running of Doug Williams, who netted 44 yards in 12 carries. was the GMC highlight. Larry Laster called a heady game at quarterback and got off some nice runs. Ramsey Parker played another fine game at left end for GMC. GMC l3 GARDNER-WEBB 7 A harvest moon and an enthusiastic hometown crowd brought good luck to the cadets for this one. Johnny Prince and Leon Estes were the acting captains for the tilt with the Baptists from North Carolina and they proved good leaders. Guard Bill Murphy and end Ramsey Parker also played good ball on the GMC line. Halfbacks Bobby Walters and Wayne Holley, quarterback Larry Laster and veteran fullback Doug Williams furnished the fireworks in push- ing over two touchdowns while Larry Baynham kicked the lone extra point. Gardner-Webb finally scored late in the game on a 76-yard drive against the GMC reserves. A feature of thc game was Baynham's booming 60-yard kick which set the Tarheels back on their haunches. Two of GMC's brightest stars, Prince and Laster, received injuries. Prince broke an ankle and was lost for the season, while Laster received a kidney injury that sidelined him for a week.
