Players get very tired during two-a-days, so perhaps that's why they don't execute." <_ Hayes said the loss of Workman and Coles was disturbing because "I know the financial status of both players." He said he didn't think either player could afford the transfer. Coles, for instance, would have to pay for his year at Atlanta Junior College, since the school has no football program. Neither Hayes nor WSSU Athletic Director Clarence "Bighouse" Gaines has accused either Oral Roberts or Georgia Tech with tampering. But Hayes said Coles did not ask for permission to talk to another school, and Gaines believes ORU encouraged Workman to transfer in an illegal manner.

Birmingham Sam threw that ball to first for what seemed to be the final out. But Roseboro staged a successful protest, and the runners were placed at first and third. Birmingham Sam relieved and threw a wild pitch on his first offering. Catcher Babe Johnson, who homered earlier, retrieved the ball and threw to the pitcher to tag the runner coming home.
