Rutherford Wins Over
Wingate By Score 13-0
RAMBLERS STAGE RALLY IN LAST HALF
Rutherford College defeated Win
gate Saturday, October 29 at Wingate
by the score of 13 and 0. The Ramb
lers gained sweet revenge for a 12 to
0 defeat handed them by Wingate last
year.
The game was played on even
terms for the first half and the score
was 0-0 at half time. At the begin
ning of the second half Blakely kicked
to Leonard, who was tackled on his
own 23 yard line. Three tries at the
line failed to net a first down and they
were forced to kick. Bronson received
it on his 40 yard line, and ran it back
to mid field. Cornwell then made 8
over center. Fitzgerald made a first
on the Wingate 38 yard line. A pass
from Fitzgerald to Blakely was good
for 15 yards and the ball was on the
23 yard line. Blakely on a spinner
went over tackle for 9 yards. Fitz
gerald then dug his way through the
center of the line to the three yard
line. Cornwell hit center for two
yards and on the next play Fitzgerald
plowed through for a touchdown. The
pass from center was bad and the ex
tra point was not made.
Wingate then opened up with her
aerial attack, but Bronson intercepted
one and the Ramblers started another
smashing drive. Aided by the pretty
passing of Bronson and Fitzgerald
and the receiving of Blakely and Fitz
gerald the ball was carried to the one
yard line. On the next play a Ruth
erford man was penalized for 15
yards, but Bronson went over tackle
for 15 yards to place it again on the
one yard line. Bronson then spun his
way through the line for the touch
down. He made his try for extra
point good with a drop kick.
The end of the game found Win
gate trying to score with her aerial at
tack, but she was unable to push it
over.
Bolick, Cox, Walters, Cashion, and
Smith were outstanding in the Ruther
ford line. While in the backfield
Blakely, Fitzgerald, Bronson, Corn-
well, and Malcolm all were good. For
Wingate, Funderburke, Coble, and
Griggs played best in the line. Hall,
Leonard, and Deaton were best in the
backfield.

Ramblers And Mars
Hill In Deadlock
In one of the best played gamos of
the season the Rutherford Ramblers
and Mars Hill Lions fought to a 14-14
deadlock in Asheville Memoral Sta
dium Saturday, October 15.
Rutherford drew first blood soon
after the opening kickoflf. Bustle re
covered a fumble on the Lions 25 yard
line. Fitzgerald, Ramblers’s fullback,
hit center for 10 yards and a first
down on the Lions 10 yard stripe. On
the next play Bronson went over
tackle for 10 yards and a touchdown.
His try for the extra point was per
fect, and the score stood 7 to 0.
The Lions, not to be denied, came
back strong and recovered a fumble
on the Ramblers’s 30 yard line and
from there they proceeded to carry it
across on line plays. Foxx hit the
line for the extra point and the half
ended with the score tied at 7-7.
The Lions came back at the third
quarter and marched down the field to
the 20 yard line. They were able to
place the ball on the five yard line and
due to penalties it was placed on the
one yard line and from here they car
ried it over. W. Rabb kicked the ex
tra point.
The last quarter found the Ramb
lers using an aerial attack with the
ball on their own 47 yard line, and
only 3 minutes to play, Fitzgerald
dropped back, threw a pass to Bron
son, who caught it on the 37 yard line
and raced across the goal line untouch
ed. Bronson’s try for extra point was
good, the ball hitting the goal post and
bouncing through. The score was tied
again at 14-14. The remainder of the
game was fought on even terms. For
Mars Hill, Foxx, W. Rabb, and Nettles
played best. Fitzgerald, Bronson,
Blakely, and Smith were outstanding
for Rutherford.

Rutherford Topples
Cullowhee Team
In one of the best played games
ever seen on this field, the Rutherford
College Ramblers defeated the strong
team from Cullowhee by the score of
12 to 6.
The Ramblers started off the game
with a bang. Three first downs were
made in succession and the ball was
soon placed on the 12 yard line. From
here Bronson, the Rambler quarter
back, called for a pass with Fitzgerald
on the receiving end. The pass was
completed and Fitzgerald stepped
across the line to make the score 6 and
0. Bronson’s try for extra point was
wide.
The Cullowhee touchdown came
from a series of passes and a 15 yard
penalty on Rutherford for roughing
the passer.
The Teachers then began a desper
ate attempt to score, but with Tom
Walters, Homer Lee Cox, and “Big
Cy” Smith playing in their backfield
they were forced to punt often.
After an exchange of punts, Ruth
erford found herself in possession of
the ball on her own 43 yard stripe.
Again we find “Frisky” Bronson in
the hero’s role. He carried the ball
on an off tackle play, found himself
blocked, reversed his field and ran 57
yards through the whole Cullowhee
team for the second Rutherford touch
down. Again his extra point was
wide.
