Salem - 45 Davis Elkins - 6 In posting the highest score since the 1927 Salem gridders bested West Virginia Tech 71-0, the Tigers blasted what was previously the top defensive outfit in the WVIAC all over the West Union Athletic' Field's turf. Salem drew first blood ona 32-yard drive after recovering a D Sz E fumble, as Ron Gaudi went the final three yards. In the second quarter, a 22-yard Connors - to - Cowley pass and an 88-yard drive capped by Dave Wiegand's two yard scamper raised the count to 18-0. All PATs failed. Inthe second half, Connors heaved a 30-yarder to Dave Wiegand for the fourth score. The same combination then clicked for the PAT. Shortly thereafter, Connors found Roy Phillips on a 23- yard TD toss. Ron Whitt took over as quarter- back and connected with Jim Fittro for an 18- yard score, after which Wiegand converted. The final score came as Steve Rymasz plunged over from five yards away. Jim Scott iced the cake with his extra point kick. West Virginia Bowl Salem - 0 W. Va. Wesleyan - 12 Infinishing their season the Tigers ac- complishedtwofirsts - theybecamethe only team to play in both West Virginia Bowls, and also the only team to lose twobowl games fthe 1961 affair was dropped to Fairmont 13-75. Playing in a drenching downpour and after three days of steady rain, Salem was shut out for thefirst timein 17 games, as their vaunted pass- ing attack, led by quarterback Billy Connors, whose 68.72, completion average led the nation, was literally smothered in the mud. S.C. passes were good on7 of 12 occasions, but only 44 yards were gained. The game, close all the way, was decided after a scoreless first half, on a 70-yard punt returnby Wesleyanin the third quarter. This score set up the second, since, with only three minutes left, Salem was forced to gamble for the first down in its own territory. They failed and the Bobcats managed a second tally with but 12 seconds left in the game. ALL CONFERENCE SELECTION Harry Vannoy, Dave Wiegand, Tom McCort, Tom Cuppett, Harry Hartman, Billy Connors, and Coach Underwood. fNot pictured Walt Craigl. 135
