4 Homecoming game. . . A spirited student body and motivated athletes made the third annual Home- coming game successful as Eagles took a 16-12 win from the Hillcrest Hornets. Dave Beezley, one promoter of the spirit assemblies, said, The main reason MHS suddenly came alive with spirit was that a few interested kids cared enough to get involved in reviving the school and that these efforts finally started a fire of enthusiasm which spread throughout the school. Most students stood throughout the game. The first quarter began with a 7-yard run into the end zone by senior halfback Gary Anderson. Jay Dittman, junior quar- terback, added the extra point for a 7-0 lead. Second quarter: senior linebacker Paul Parker inter- cepted a Hornet pass and on a fourth down play Dittman added a three-point field goal to retire the quarter at 10-0. Second half: Highlight of the game-Anderson re- turned a punt 95 yards for the Eagles' second touch- down. Dittman booted the extra point. Score: 16-0. Memorial kickedg the Hornets drove downfield for their first touchdown but failed in a two-point conversion attempt. At quarter's end: 16-6. Fourth quarter: The Hornets recovered a fumble and made a 38-yard pass play for their second touchdown, but failed in another attempt for the two-point conver- sion. The score was set at 16-12. Later, quarterback Ditt- man injured his knee and Coach Cooper called in senior Chris Willingham to pilot the rest of the contest. The Hornets took over with time remaining for another touch- down but efforts failed as Gary Challberg, defensive halfback, intercepted a Hornet pass to end the game. 3 is ti- ',..
