Jack Groce Gets Loose For
75 Yards And Only Score
Of The Game Here
Jack Groce, Wilkesboro lad
who made an enviable record at
Wilkesboro in high school, broke
the game wide open here Thurs
day night when he scampered for
75 yards and the only score of
the ball game as Appalachian
Baby Mountaineers defeated the
Rinkydinks of Catawba College
7 to 0.
The crowd of about 1,200 had
little to get excited about until
the third quarter when Jack
faked a reverse and ran around
left end down the sidelines to
get away from all tacklers.
Appalachian threatened sever
al times during the game and
amassed a total of 308 yards j
rushing. But Catawba's defenses j
Leld like a stone wall inside the
20-yard line on four scoring I
threats. The Rindydinks threat-j
ened in opening minutes of the
game, going to the 12-yard line
and never could get up steam a
gain. Most exciting play of thej
first period was a 41-yard run
by Jim Moore, of Winston-Sa
lem, a Baby Mountaineer halt
back. That drive carried to the
12 and bogged.
In the second period Jack
Groce brought the crowd to their
feet with a run of 52 yards tc
the 22-yard line but the drivt
bogged down on the six with s
fourth down pass dropped in the
end zone.
The third period had all the
scoring, when Groce maneuver
ed his brilliant run and Davif
added the point from placement
Claude Rldrldge, of Elkin
who played brilliantly for Appa
lachian on defense, gave the
crowd something to cheer about
in the fourth quarter when he
returned a Catawba punt from
the 35 to the ten-yard line, but
there Appalachian was held a
gain.
tin the closing minutes , Ca
tawba's ace passer, Joe Popp
connected with a 40-yard heave
to Hunnesucker. But the passing
drive was stopped when Beit
Hunnicutt, of Appalachian, go1
a Popp pass and ran at back 61
yards to the Catawba 20-yard
line, where the game ended with
Appalachian threatening.
The game Thursday night was;
sponsored by the North Wilkes
born quarterback club.
