Panthers Lose Steam in Last
Quarter, Lose by 27-6 Score
Mount Olive folded completely
in the final quarter to spoil its
first scheduled home game this
season, losing to Richlands 27-6,
in a football contest played before
a home-coming crowd of more
than 1,000 Friday mght.
Mount Olive took a short lived
lead midway the first period when
Fullback Dave Wilson 'drove over
from the two, giving the Blue and
Gold a 6-0 lead. The scoring play
came after an exchange of punts
gave Mount Olive the ball on Rich
lands’ 48 yard line. Quarterback
Harry Cooke and halfback Jimmy
Overton spearheaded the touch
down drive.

I(l\b5\ on THE CORNER
L — MT.OLIVE. N. C.
The score only served to arouse
the visitors. Richlands took the
kick-off and marched down field.
The tally came early in the second
stanza, and the extra point at
tempt was good, giving the Onslow
county team a one point lead. This
is how the score stood at halftime.
During the first half Mount
Olive's offense was clicking and
just before intermission the Pan
thers had thrusted deep into Rich
lands territory, marching all the
way to the one-yard line, but the
visitors dug in and stopped the
threat.
While Richlands was leading at
intermission, the Panthers had
battled them on equal footing.
Mount Olive made 10 first downs
during the half, to four for Rich
lands. But in the second-half when
Mount Olive’s defense collapsed,
Richlands racked up nine to two
for the Panthers.
Statistics for the game showed
Mount Olive, 12 first downs, 12
passes attempted, and two com
pleted; Richlands had 13 first
downs, 12 passes attempted and
eight completed.
A more determined Richlands
team took the field to start the
! second half and midway the third
quarter had scored, taking a 14-6
lead. In the final period, the Blue
and Gold’s defense fell apart, and
Richlands romped over for two
more tallies. - «
Leading the Richlands attack
was its triple-threat quarterback,
Kendall Whaley, but he received
considerable help from End James
Jarman, and backs Tony Howard
and Donald Gurganus.
Gurganus pulled one of the more
speculator plays of the game,
when he recovered a blocked punt
in his end zone and raced it back
to the Mount Olive 48. He had
broken into the clear and was
touchdown bound when he tripped
over his own man.
But to win, Richlands not only
took advantage of their own bad
breaks, but also Mount Olive’s.
They recovered three Mount Olive
fumbles and intercepted four pas
ses.
Early in the game both teams
displayed offensive power, but in
the second-half as the Mount Olive
defense crumbled, Richlands
plugged its defensive holes. As
some one in the stands stated,
Mount Olive’s main defense were
the officials. During the contest,
Richlands was penalized 130 yards,
which only tended to slow up their
scoring punch.

Hobbs Held without Bond
Atfer Slaying of Soldier
Joyce Hobbs of Mount Olive, is
being held for the grand jury in
connection with the shot-gun slay
ing of Robert Robertson near
Mount Olive last Tuesday night,
following a preliminary hearing be
fore Magistrate L. C. Fulghum of
Goldsboro Friday.
James Kelly, Mount Olive truck
driver and operator of the car in
which Hobbs was a passenger, is
being held under a $1,000 bond as
a material witness.
The shooting occurred on the
B. E. Martin road, just outside the
city limits of Mount Olive, after
Robertson and two companions had
followed a car in which Hobbs,
Kelly and two girls were riding.
The Kelly car is alleged to have
blocked the Robertson vehicle, and
Hobbs came back to the Robertson
vehicle and the shooting took
place.
Hobbs says he did not intend to
kill Robertson, but that Robert
son tried to take the gun from him
and in the struggle it went off.
Bobby Overton, Robertson’s
brother-in-law, said the Fort Bragg
sergeant had followed the Hobbs
car in the belief that his wife was
riding with the two men.
