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. ^ YOU CAN ALWAYS ^v COUNT ON PROMPT SERVICE WHEN VOU HAVE PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED AT GLENNiMARTIN DRUG COMPANY I! <rw\DRUQ Co^t/uut+j 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.
