Spirited Tornado Eleven Upsets States Number and the keen defense of the Tornado held the vistors scoreless until 29 seconds before the close of the game. Ervin had returned a punt eighty yards for the first score and Paty provided the second with a 61-yard run off tackle. Two fast tallies by McMinn County in the first period gave the Tornado a poor start, but a touch- down by guard Ken Hamm with a recovered fumble and a safety by Robertson early in the second quarter put McCallie within a striking range. A 12-yard scoring pass from Mercer to Ervin and a 68-yard run by Paty in the opening minutes of the second half gave the Blue its 21-12 win. Mercer played his best game of the season against the Red Bank Lions, accounting for all 20 of McCallie,s points. The first touchdown came on a 53-yard drive. The second was made on the next play from scrimmage after Robertson fell on a ball on the Red Bank 2, after the Lions had let the kick- off roll. ln the fourth quarter Starrett hit a Lion back with a bone-jarring tackle that shook the ball loose into Mercer's hands, The Tornadoman ran untouched for a 25-yard score and the best per- formance of the week in area football. Bradley Bears Steve Sloan, Vernon Ceren, Jimmy Williams, and Denniss Stafford close in as fullback Joe Vaughn gains first down. A spirited Darlington Tigers ended McCallie's seven game streak with two fourth period touch- downs. Midway in the first period a Mercer throw to Starrett provided the first Tornado points. Dar- linton then drove 62 yards for their score, but missed on the extra point attempt. The McCallie team marched back, sparked by a 44-yard pass play and Vaughn scored from two yards out and Mercer made good on the conversion, McCallie held the Tigers on the first series of downs but bobbled reception of a punt to set Darlington up on the 30. A few plays later Tiger half back, Alex Watt went ovcr. Regaining possession of the ball on a pass interception, Tigerman John McFariin took a hand- off and scampered untouched for the score. The Blues took over and moved to the Darlington 9 with little trouble but stalled and lost the ball on downs, as Darlington went on to an 18-14- victory. The highly successful 1960 season ended with the best offensive display of the year at Sweetwater with a 33-0 victory over the Cadets of T.M.I. Ervin, Paty, Skip Jones, and Tommy Crudup all tallied for the victors as the bench was cleared for the first time all year. .mmmm,.l sir- ., 1. .' is Mrs: .... .0 ,:....1-.,.,'l:r..u:v.z.M:znmmx.1u
