Earl Hinson, who once coached
the Jacksonville High school girls
team, is remembered for an
amazing sports incident.
It brought him fame, and earned
him a guest appearance on a coast-
to-coast radio program. After 22
years, it still seems a miracle.
Back in the fall of 1937, Hinson
was a back on the Appalachian Col
lege football team. The Catawba
College game was one that Earl
and his teammates pointed for, and
when the morning prior to the con
test rolled around, he confided in
a sports writer.
“I had a dream last night,” he
said, “and it was about this after
noon’s game. I dreamed the score
was nothing to nothing, right up to
the very last play of the very last
quarter. And then I scored the win
ning touchdown.”
Hinson described the play, and
the sports writer jotted down J;he
information. In fact, he even went
so far as to write an advance story
about the game’s outcome, and
stuck it in his desk.
The game turned out to be bitter
battle that everyone had predicted.
Neither team could score. With
less than a minute to play, Ap
palachian was on its own goal line,
and fourth down was coming up.
Hinson dropped back into the
end zone, in punt formation. He
faked the kick, and started run-

ning. Somehow or other, he man
aged to get by the line of scrim
mage, and up the field he went.
Defensive players seem to freeze
in their tracks. The game-ending
gun^ went off, but a play was in
motion, so Earl just kept on going.
He had to cover more than a
hundred yards to reach his destina
tion, but he did it, and Appalachian
won, six to nothing.
Unbelievable though it may
seem, Hinson had scored the
game’s only touchdown, in the
exact manner that his dream of the
previous night indicated. The
sports writer’s notes and story coh-
firmed it.
_ And here’s a final interesting
sidelight. Leo Morgan, former New
Bern High school coach—a fresh
man member of the Catawba
squad—was watching from the
bench, when this strange sports
miracle occurred. He too vouches
for its accuracy.
CRAMPED QUARTERS
Bethpage, N. Y, — Douglas Kit
chen, 8, thought an empty oil drum
near his home would make a good
hiding place. Then he found out
During the game he popped in
and squeezed himself down to the
bottom. When he tried to get out,
he couldn’t move. He howled..
He kept on howling while grown
ups tried to get him out. Finally
police used an electric saw to cut
the drum apart.
After an hour in a cramped po
sition, Douglas couldn’t straighten
up. He was carried to the hospital
in a sitting position. There his legs
were massaged ui^il he could walk
again.
