Donnie McGinnis stormed the Bulldog defenses in the third quarter and smashed across the lone touchdown from eight yards out to give the Bearcats their first victory of the season. Camden dom- inated play in the first half, but the Bearcats held them scoreless. In the sec- ond half Bill Nies and Donnie McGinnis paced the Bearcat attack behind some fine blocking turned in by Bill Starnes and Glenn Lumpkin. McGinnis from eight yards out danced and dodged his way through two Iinebackers and went into the end zone untouched. Wheeles' try for the extra point was good. Hershel Carter and John Le Hecka each stopped a Cam- den drive to preserve Rock Hill's lead and victory. ANDERSON 7, ROCK HILL O Rock Hill seemingly plagued with bad luck, outran, outpassed, and outplayed Anderson High but lost the ball game. The Bearcats, showing their strength on offense, had four mighty drives to get inside the Yellow Jackets' 'I2 yard line, but each time they were stopped as the Anderson defense rose to the occasion. Even in losing, the Bearcats stole the show with the passing of Wheeles and the catches of Lumpkin. Anderson scored in the second period and added the extra point to lead 7-0. The Bearcats stormed right back and scored on a pass from Wheeles to Lumpkin, however, the touch- down was nullified because of an illegal receiver down field.

ROCK HILL I4, SPARTANBURG 7 Rock Hill High's second victory of the season came when they defeated a mighty Crimson Tide from Spartanburg on the slippery surface of Rock HiII's Municipal Stadium. Rock Hill posted a I4-O lead on touchdowns by Glenn Lump- kin and Johnny Carroll, but still had to put down drives by a determined Spar- tanburg team before tacking up the win. Spartanburg scored and made it I4-7, with about four minutes remaining. They then recovered a Rock Hill fumble with about two minutes to go. Carroll inter- cepted a pass to end the threat.

Rock Hill came back to tie the game on a nine yard run by Bill Nies. Paul Wheeles split the uprights for the extra point. Just before the end of the first half, Lancaster recovered a fumble and scored again. The try for the extra point was good, and they led I4-7. Lan- caster put on the final touchdown drive in the third quarter and scored a 20-7 victory.
