Horace Walker of Kings Mountain recalls their last meeting. It was on January 1, 1943 in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Walker, now retired, was a young soldier then, stationed at Camp Cook, Calif., with the 46th Army Infantry. His company had been quarantined over the Christmas holidays because of an outbreak of measles. His group was sent to the Warner Brothers Film Studios to make some training films several days before the New Year. = “Three or four of us who.were avid football fans wanted to go to the game and were lucky enough to get a weekend pass,” he recalled. “The game was sup- posed to be a sellout but so- meone said you could always get tickets. We took a chance and got a cut-rate because we were soldiers. I believe we sat on row 56.” Walker, who still has the game program which sold for 25 cents (of which .007 cents was sales tax), remembers very few details of the game. “I know Georgia won, and I think the score was 9-6,” he said. “Although I can’t remember any of their statistics, the stars of the game for Georgia were Van Davis, an end, and Frank Sinkwich, a running back.” Wallace Butts was head coach of the Bulldogs. Some of the other players were Dick McPhee, fullback, Andy Dudish, halfback, Joe Polak, quarter- back, George Poschner, end, Kenneth Keuper, quarterback, Lamar Davis, halfback, Jim Todd, fullback, J.P. Miller, guard, and Jerry Nunnally, halfback. Their biggest player was Bill Godwin, a 215-pound center. Head Coach of the Bruins was Edwin C. “Babe” Horrell, an All- American at the University of California at Berkeley who never played in a losing college football game. He appeared as a player in the 1922 Rose Bowl when California defeated Southern Cal 12-0. He also helped dedicate Berkely Memorial Stadium in 1923 in a game in which the Bears beat Stanford 9-8. He scored eight of the nine points by ~ INSTRUCTION } TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING FREE JOB PLACEMENT 4 Assistance For Details About How - To Earn High Wages As A Professional Driver CALL A Sve 1-704-393-3000 B Evenings And Weekends 1-704-333-8500 blocking a punt and falling on it in the endzone for a touchdown and making a tackle in the end- zone for a safety. ~ He took over as head coach at +~UCLA in 1938 after serving eight years as a line coach. At that time, he was the youngest football coach (33 years old) at a major university. Some of UCLA’s better players were quarterback Bob Waterfield, halfbacks Al Solari and Ev Riddle and fullback Ken Snelling. The team’s biggest player was fullback George Phillips, a 6-3%, 217-pounder. Their biggest lineman was 207-pound tackle Jack Finlay. One page of the football pro- gram included instructions on what the fans should do if an air raid had been given during the playing of the game. ; Walker and his friends, who caught a trolly from Los Angeles to Pasadena, rode back to LA in style. “As we were leaving the game, we met up with a guy who was going to Hollywood. He could tell we didn’t know the area. He said, ‘stick with me and I'll get you out of here.” We rode back brand new Plymouth,” Walker recalled. Walker learned just this May when he visited one of his best Army buddies, Bill Morgan of Arkansas, that he was also at the in his game. Walker’s company com- mander, who gave him the weekend pass to go to the Rose Bowl, was Jack Day of Cowpens, S.C., a Clemson man. He later worked for Burlington Mills and at one time was superintendent of the Dilling Plant in Kings Mountain. new bass boat, while the second and third place finishers receive cash prizes.
