The Hilltoppers in my opinion never did believe Oak Ridge -would embarrass them And in the light of what happened you must conclude that they intended all along to reverse the procedure and humiliate the Wildcats 7 East Tennessee State College overcame numerous fumbles' and some other costly errors to nip arch-rival Western Carolina 7-8 before 3000 fans last night at College Stadium 1 The Bucs bad to stave off the Catamounts in the closing stages of the game and it finally took Tommy Shepard and two or threa other Bucs to block Jim extra point attempt to preserv the one point margin for the Bucs' pleased with the performance of his team although lamenting tha fact he again get a chanc to let his third-stringers play ETSC defeated Western Caro lina by the identical score last season Nolen Score Doug Nolen scored lone much balL -J riod from 12 yards out The TD was set up when the Catamounts were backed to their own three and had to punt out From the Catamount 39 Joe Dixon ripped to the 27 and Dixontossed to was too close for us to substitute like we would have Wood said after the game played us a good hard game" 1 The Bucs have another rival Coach Hermit Tipton said the came up to the game mentally and physically ready but from all tppearancea-no more so than previous games However there had to be an intense desire to wint because Johnson City wai up against a fine ball dub Coach Jack Armstrong of Oak Ridge told me after the game we were just up against a fine hard-hitting ball dub Johnson City played us a good hard dean game They are well-coached and cltsnly -coached football players" Certainly words were tribute not only to the Tennessee Trailed 9-7 Until Final Minutes By ESCAR THOMPSON KNOXVILLE Tenn GFU-Tail-back Bobby 55-yard with a Mississippi State kick gave Tennessee an uphill 14-9 victory over the Maroons Saturday Hundreds of the crowd of 25000 already had filed out of the stands when Gordon took halfback Gil kick on the Tennessee 45 slipped through a horde -of Maroons and dashed down the right sideline to score standing up Tennessee was- trailing 9-7-at the time and the Maroons smart ly directed by quarterback Bill Stacy were more or less trying to run out the clock There was a minute and a half to play when Gordon set sail The Mississippians piled up-nine-polnt- lead in the first half on tackle Bobby 15-yard field goal and fullback Molly Hal touchdown plunge from the 2 The visitors dominated play for three quarters And just when it appeared Tennessee was doomed to its second straight setback Gordon came off the bench in midway The fourth period to the Vols on a 75-yard scoring march and then capped it with his brilliant dash Th itAiUilev: coming up next Saturday when they journey to Maryville to play the Scotties Er Yr(ti rushin trst downs CsUuml) Siuunti IS 14 1M 4 5 Johnson City team but also to the Hilltopper coaching staff 1 Pts tttpmotAd comtritted Passes Intercepted by PnHiet unu Fumble ft Fumble reeorered br 7 A Vfr S-S Trt! 1-24 I Scnr feeriodi: 1 WMttrn Ciroltnt a a i Eit Tiaimni a (Cl Touchdown lor Wrstrrn Carolina Cooo-S' Tnurhdown for Et Tannciact Mains Extra point: Hurhca OAK RIDGE WRITERS AND BROADCASTERS covering the -r game conee their disappointment 7 Even as lste ss Johnson 26-7 lead and only eight min-' ntes to go the broadcasters were saying: like an upset Is in the making if the game was played in the first half and few present including a following of Oak Ridge supporters could doubt by intermission that the Hilltoppers would win ended Jim Martinez (70) is in on the play North Carolina vr rontest 13-7 (AP Wirephoto) CAROLINA WON Navy players Edwin Oldham (27) and Tom Forrestal (18) caught North Don Coker on the 49 yard line for no game before the half Football Scores tom Foster to the 12 From there Nolen crashed through for the touchdown and Freshman Bill Hughes kicked the extra point A partially blocked East Tennessee punt set up Western touchdown Tbe Catamounts had driven deep -into ETSC territory inside the 10-yard line before a 15 yard penalty set them back on the 24 Then Bob Lindsey intercepted a tatamount pass in the end zone to halt the threat momentarily Bucs Penalized Out at the 20 though the Bues SATURDAY'S COLLEGE A SPOTTER FOR OAK RIDGE adopted my suggestion of a week ago and himself suggested an quarter 'That was late when Oak Ridge was finally completing some passes but in this case I doubt but that an extra period would only have added to the misery Bars Blank Jonesboro In 26-0 Tilt Antle Vie For Golf Title norm 5 8tt Ctrollnfc I North Carolina Navy North Carolina State 13 Clrmaan 7 aut Sins?
