Fans who watch the filth annual contest between Oxford and Mills Home of Thomasville tonight at Gastonia High School Stadium are apt to see the other side of the picture. Mills Home's a vastly club over post years. 1 and possibly underrated.

That's not taking any- hlrtg away from Oxford, cither. Coached by L. "Gabc" MiElell, Oxford always rougli against some of the top class AA. schools In the slate. Mills Home Small, But Tough Club After three years of lean pickings ugainsl the Oxford Orphanage team, Mills Home hopes to reverse their winlcss trend Saturday night In the Orphans Bowl game in Gis- lonla.

Sle also kicks and passes. Mooncy (s the speed demon while Mull has Ueen advanced from the Jaycecs Otter scoring six touchdowns in games against Children's Home reserves and Thomasvlllc High junior varsity. Foust is the toughest man on (he team, pound for pound. He clears the path for ball-carriers on offense and Is a rock at this line-backer's post, on defense. Although he is not officially listed as a coach, Charlie Kearns, who coached Alt-America Pat Preston fit Mills Home back In 1939, has been assisting with 'the team recently at the request of Doby.

It was Purdue's ball on its own 39 fourth down and a foot, to go. The game was just two minutes old, but Coach Stu Holcomb electrified the Orange Bowl audience of 51,838 by hustling in- orders for ciuarterback Dale Samuels to'make the gamble. Samuels sent Jerry Thorpe into the line. Thorpe was smothered and that was all the opportunity Miami's Hurricanes needed. After two line plays were halted, Frank Smith, the nimble halfback who beat Purdue last year with two touchdown runs, fled wide to the left nnd eluded a half-dozen pairs grasping arms in a 39-yard rim for the winning score.
