Muley Walker was looking forward to the Marshall game, saving his man power for the expected climax of the season. With the first stringers out of the game the Bluefield eleven proved too strong for the Eaglets. The game ended with Morris Harvey on the short end of the 33-0 score. The Morris Harvey Golden Eagles, on October 19, journeyed to Hunt- ington to encounter the Marshall “Thundering Herd.” During the first half of the game the Golden Eagles played an exceptionally good defensive game, and it was only through two breaks of which Marshall made the utmost, that she was able to score in the first half. Several injuries received early in the second half weakened the Eagles considerably. The Thundering Herd scored three touchdowns in the second half, bringing the score to a total of 29-0 in favor of Marshall. The most exciting game of the year was played at King Field, Barbours- ville, when West Liberty College journeyed here in high hopes of trimming the Preachers. They were stopped at the outset of the game by the fighting Eagles. The orange and black gridders of West Liberty soon recovered their setback at the outset of the game, and scored the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter. The try for extra point was good. The Preachers came back for the second half with the determination to take the meat from the orange and black gridders, but were unable to make headway through the opposing line. The Eagles soon took to the air but were held at bay by West Liberty until the last quarter when Morris Harvey pushed over a touchdown, tieing the score, 7-7. On November 9, the Eagles, in high spirits, left Barboursville, for Grove City, Pa., where they encountered the strong Grove City eleven November 10. Morris Harvey was defeated by a 40-0 score. On November 16 the Eagles loaded their war bags and set off for Mont- gomery where they were destined to give New River a sound beating. Coach Walker started the second quarter of the game with the second string Preachers, TWENTY

FOOTBALL Coach W. H. Walker Football in Review Five defeats, three victories, and one tie was the record of the Golden Eagles for the 1934 season. The Golden Eagles opened the season in a night game September 28 with Dayton University, at Dayton, Ohio. In the first half of the game Day- ton scored 25 points, but in the second half the Golden Eagles came back with fire in their eyes and outplayed the Flyers , scoring 14 points. The Eagles were on the short end of a 31-14 score as the game ended. On October 5, the Golden Eagles journeyed to Matewan to encounter the highly touted Concord eleven. The “Preachers got off to a flying start, scoring on a long pass from Fulk to Kelley who ran 25 yards for a touchdown. Late in the second quarter Concord blocked a punt for the “Preachers , and a few moments later Concord scored on a line play. Concord made the extra point, making the score 7-6, Concord s favor. With one and one-half minutes to play, and Concord deep in the Eagle’s territory, Howard Rutter, an Eagle halfback, intercepted a Concord pass on the Preachers two-yard line, and ran 98 yards in the greatest play of the game for the Eagles’ second touchdown. The game ended with Morris Harvey on the long end of a 20-7 score. □ NINETEEN

The Morris Harvey second team returned to the fight for the last quarter, boosting the score to 40-0 before the end of the game. Approaching the end of the season Morris Harvey engaged the Glenville “Pioneers’ ' , November 24, in a game at King’s Field. The Pioneers boasted of a strong team, but they were no match for the high-flying Eagles who rode rough shod over them in a comparatively easy game. The score at the end of the game was 27-0. The end has come, as it must come in every sport. The Golden Eagles took leave November 29 for Salem where they were to defend their Alma Mater against Salem College. The game was hard fought, but was lost to the Salem “Tigers” who clawed their way to a 14-7 victory. Howard “Burr” Rutter, Halfback “Burr” is a four-letter man in football, one of the best men on the turf as well as on the basketball court. He was an outstanding back, always found in the thick of the fight. A good open field runner, Burr was also an excep- tionally good ground gainer. He has played his last game for Morris Harvey, and will be missed by the Eagles next year. Edward “Ed” Kelly, End The end that was an end was “Ed” Kelly. The “old reliable of the left side of the line, Ed was always dependable and a big factor to be reckoned with in any game. As an all-state end he won high honor for the Eagles. Our loss will be a great gain for some school because Ed is leaving us to coach the game he loves. Earl Yeager, End Earl is a good end, was always in the thick of battle. Voted by the student body as the best all around athlete in Morris Harvey. □ 1935 G TWENTY-ONE
