Coach Peanut Doalf - x ,Y 'J . , 25.. :v ' Assistant Coach Frank Bondanella Pre-season forecasts indicated that this ycaris foot- ball at Presbyterian junior College could be summar- ized like preceding seasons-too little and too few for any expectations of a heavy win column. Coach Robert Peanut Doak installed the tricky T formation, and it was apparent in practice sessions that there was a revival of unusual pluck and determined spi1'it among the 1950 Scotsmen. Despite the odds against it, this year's red and white eleven fought determinedly and gamely in every contest, displaying spirit not witnessed by Presbyterian fans in years. Long after these pages have turned yellow with age, the 1950 football team will be remembered for not knowing what to quit meant. Coach Doak hammered away at making his ball club a smooth-working T outfit, and as a result the popular mentor enjoyed the fruits of his ground work in an eleven which was feared both as a running and a passing outfit. Doak was ably assisted this year by Frank Bondanella, who had starred as an end under Peanut on the '47 eleven. Cu-captalilis Glide Parrish Paul Boan 'Q -bl Q A birthday victory for the Ole Mani' The season opened against Brevard's Tornadoes, who edged out the Scots 14-13, although P. C. statistically outplayed the western North Carolina eleven. Sparked by Boan, Parrish, and Mayers, the Calvinists racked up 17 Hrst downs. Brevard inter- cepted a pass to set up their first score, but P. I. C. immediately retaliated, with Boan crashing over for the tally. In the second half, Boan again bulled his way over the double stripes to put the Scotties ahead. A long pass set up Brevard's winning touchdown and Mitchell scored moments later. The scoring was over for the night, after the Tornadoes added the clinching extra. Boan was the outstanding player of the game, scoring all of P. C.'s 13 points, while Pete Sellers Lonnie Rogers, and Slim Caddell led the P. I. C. defense in several magnificent goal line stands. 4-' . V y I S ix I E I. is 5 1645?-ri. isa 545

After defeating Pembroke State Gollege's Braves in a practice game, the Scotties played hosts to the North Greenville Black VVidows in a game under the arcs at Robins Park. Following the recovery of a fumble. P. I. C. scored early in the first quarter when Paul Boan sliced over tackle. North Greenville started a determined drive in the third quarter, but it was halted when johnny Sloan intercepted a pass. The Black VVidows secured two points in the same period. when Braddock tackled Boan in the end zone. Elmo Jerni- gan scooted 15 yards on a handoff, then Parrish con- nected with Mclntyre to set up Chuck Mayers' 8-yard sprint for a touchdown. A sensational goal line stand led by Gene Williams, Bob Gaddell, Sam Jackson, and Lonnie Rogers stopped another Greenville threat, and the score remained 12-9. Mayers Sloan Riddled by injuries. the Scotsmen journeyed to Boiling Springs, where Gardner Webbjs powerful Bulldogs, eventual runners-up for the state champion- ship, exploded a 54-O win. The Scots had long hopes but very little chance for an upset. The Bulldogs' power told in the muddy fray, and the Presbyterians received their worst belting since the 1945 season. The story behind the game was one of injuries to vital players and the general lack of spirit. Prospects for the rest of the season looked dark. Doak brought his squad back, though, and it was the last loss of the year. E.M.I. called OH their game with the Calvinists, and the squad took a week off before turning in its most exciting win of the season in beating widely-favored Chowan 13-12. Chowan's Braves took a commanding lead in the first quarter, and the game had hardly begun before the Doak-men were trailing 12-0. Show- ing a determination to win that would not be denied, P. I. C. made a come-back that will not be forgotten .lemigafl DuRant 'i?'2..r 1
