ern 3-A Conference contest.
The vDctory was the fiirst for
the Mountaineers over a Chase
team in six years and 'to say the

the understatement of the year.

a 19-0 halftime lead, then the
Mountaineers cruised to victory
in the second half.

way.s a strong point, 'held the wdn-
less Trojans to only 57 yards to

extra points from placement. Full
back David Bolin rushed for 104
yards im 22 carries to pace tho
Mountaineers to 311 yards rush
ing. Quarterback Geeper Howard

he pulled in four tosses for 59
yards.
Kings Mountain drove 59 yards

Cha.se punt of 23 yards. Chris
Blanton scored on a one-yard dive
whith put the Mountaineers out
front, 12-0 with 5:12 left in the

It took the Mountaineers only
eight plays to score and the key
play during the drive was a 28-
yard run by .sophomore halfback
F^rankic Stokes. Bolin had a run
of 10 yards which gave the Moun
taineers a first down on the 18
and Howard had a run of eight
yard-s which gave them a first

Test Yet In East

Bulldogs Beaten
By Bears 27-14
Saturday Night
BOILING SPRINGS, N. C. — If
the outcome of Saturday night’s
football encTOunter between the
Gardner-Webb Bulldogs and the
Lenoir Rhyne Bc?ars showed any
signs that the Bulldogs have the
ability to take on senior college
foes, you can chalk up a plus
hjsign for the Bulldogs.
Although the Bulldogs lost to
the powerful Bears 27*14, Lenoir-
Rhyne scoring all points in tho
first half, it was the se(X)nd Ivilf
of play that broughtout the Bull
dog’s ability to meet the test.
'T was well pleased with the
way they came back in the sec
ond half and held the Bears. It
proves that they don’t give up".
Coach George Litton said.
MOUNTAINEER DEFENSIVE STANDOUTS — Chuck Corpenter,
left, and Johnny Hogue helped lead Kings Mountain's defensive
efforts in Friday's 26-0 victory over Chose. Carpenter, a defensive
back, picked off a Trojan pass and Hogue was in on several tac
kles.

Roseboro, a 6-0, 190-|X)undcr,

.cays he has the ability to become
one of tho finest gridders Central
has ever produced.
"Wo have good size." comment
ed Griggs. "F'or eighth graders,
this is the biggest bunch of boys
I’ve ever coached.
The Central lineup will be all-
Gary; eighth grade except for Southwell,
the quarterback.
Greer, S. C., called a fine game", i
said Litton. “However, I was
rather disappointed in the offeris-1

credits two of the Lenoir-Rhyne |
touchdowns to the offensive unit.
Even though quarterback Sid
Bryson of Morganton did not play
Coach Litton feels that he is
biassed with two quarterbacks
such as Hannon and Bryson.
The Bulldogs came out of the
clash with no serious injuries.
“We had only the minor bruises
and scratches which occur in al
most any game of contact", Lit
ton said. 'T believe that everyone
will be ready for Saturday’s game
against Newberr>' in Newberry,
S. C." Last year Newberry had to
settle for a 2-3 conferenice record
in the Carolinas Conference and
a 4-6 overall reicord.
Saturday Newberry came through
with an impressive win over F5m-
ory & Henry. Newiberry runs from

pocketed S2200 in winning at an
average speed of 73.365 miles an
hour.
Isaac set his Dodge on the
pole, but it was Petty who broke
on top for the first five laps. Isaac
then took over from tho Plymouth
ace on tlie sixth lap and domi
nated the contest through lap 230
when Petty took advantage of a
pit stop to move into the lead.
Petty was able to block the
track for 18 laps while Isaac and
•Allison fought for track position.
Isaac then gunned past Petty and
became the first driver in the 19-
year history of the track to win
tour straight Grand Nationals.
The only caution flag came out I
for five la'ps after the Allison I
brothers brushed on tho back- j
stretch and Donnie’s Ford spun, j
Richard Brooks and James Hyl- [
ton finished fourth and fifth.

Coach Bates said the rest of the

Bates was pleased with last
week’s 2(>-0 victory over Cliase and
cited quarterback Geeper Ho-vvard
for his offensive play and center-
tackle Mike Moss for his all-round
periormancc.'
“We had a tremendous first
half,’’ said Bate.-, “but in tlie sec

Otherwise, we played a good
game. I thought Cha.se liith with
us for a wliile but after wo scor
ed our .second touchdown they

“Our balance was real good in
the backfield," added Bates. “All
of our ballcarriers had a good

good passing in the first half."
Bates said the Cavaliers could
have easily won last week’s game

be 2-0 going into F^riday’s game.
