Erskine Handed 50 To 6 Licking By Appalachian ?Scoring in every period and al most by every man, Appalachian romped over Erskine here Sat urday afternoon 50 to 6. Erskine scored in the fourth period for the first time this son. Seven different Mountaineers figured in the scoring, which in cluded a 15-yard touchdown jaunt by a one-armed guard, Tom Boyette, who snatched an Ers kine fumble in mid-air and scam ipered across the goal-line before ! anyone realized what had hap j pened. Spot Spoltore, the! App's ace quarterback, was the only man I to score more than one touch down in the rout which saw the Mountaineers compile 347 yards rushing and 87 yards passing. One of Spoltore's touchdown runs went for 55 yards on a punt return. Tom Murdock, substitute back, duplicated the feat later. Another consolation for the Flying Fleet was the fact that they gained 88 yards passing, one more than did the Apps. The visitors racked up 16 first downs to eight for the losers.
