Jim Gudger Enters 10th Year Al Western Carolina Boodleville, 2nd Reynolds Roll On Delta Sigma - 2nd Reynolds no good. By Bob Sams 2nd Reynolds N edged Delta Sigma, 13-6, to break a tie between the two teams for first place in the American League. Delta Sigma scored first early in the first half on a razzle-dazzle 80-yard TD play that started when Linn Mandy took a 2nd Reynolds punt on his own 20-yard line, ran it to the 40, pitched back to Ken Lamb who threw to Vance Schrum on the 20. Schrum then relayed to Bob Coffin who carried it the remaining distance for the score. 2nd Reynolds tied the score up in the closing minutes of the first half on a Hyde to Turner to Men- denhall TD play. The extra point failed, leaving the score tied at half time, 6-6. With four minutes left in the ball game, Stub Hyde climaxed an 80-yard drive by throwing to Stump Turner for the game winning TD. Hyde's aerial to Turner on the extra point was good to make it 13-6 in favor of 2nd Reynolds. On October 26, 2nd Reynolds S knocked 1st Buchanan's Wildcats out of intramural action with a 24-0 victory. 2nd Reynolds collected its first two points by trapping a Wildcat runner in the end zone for a safety. Later in the first half 1st Buchanan, led by Ken Druy and Bob Poindexter, drove the ball deep into 2nd Reynolds' territory but failed to score. 2nd Reynolds added nine more points in the first half and continued to hold the Wildcats scoreless until they had racked up 13 more points in the second half. In the second game of October 26, a real battle took place between TKE and 2nd Robertson. TKE finally eked out a hard earned 13-7 victory. After stopping a Robertson drive on their own 19-yard line, the Tekes took over and drove to the Robertson 30, from where Jim Ray hauled in a long pass for the TD. The PAT failed. Neither team was able to move the ball during the rest of the first half. However, TKE added seven more points in the third quarter as Jim Walthum hit Phil Royall in the end zone with a pass. Jim Ray tossed to Walthum for the point. Second Rebertson finally broke into pay dirt with less than three minutes remainng in the game on a pass from Joe Durham to Rocky Bridges.

The Kappa Sig scores came from the strong aerial action of Skip Pierce as he completed TD passes to Ronnie Younts and Gene Medford. 2nd Reynolds- Delta Sigma 2nd Reynolds N. edged Delta Sigma 13-6 to break a tie between the two teams for first place in the American League. Delta Sigma scored first early in the first half on a razzle-dazzle 80-yard TD play that started when Linn Maney took a 2nd Reynolds punt on his own 20-yard line, ran it to the 40, pitched back to Ken Lamb who threw to Vance Schrum on the 20; Schrum then relayed to Bob Coffin who carried it the remaining distance for the score. 2nd Reynolds tied the score in the closing minutes of the first half on a Hyde to Turner to Men- denhall TD play. The extra point failed, to leave the score tied 6-6 at halftime. With four minutes left in the Boodleville - 3rd Reynolds Boodleville took over first place in the National League by dropping previously unbeaten 3 r d Reynolds N, 19-6. Led by the strong arm of Bob Whitmire, the Boodleville Bullets scored early in the first half on a Whitmire to Brock TD combination. 3rd Reynolds N came right back with Loyd Derreberry passing the ball deep into Bullet territoiy, but was halted on the 5-yard line by the strong Boodleville defense. With 30 seconds left in the frist half, Marvin Allen intercepted a Derreberry pass and threw to a' teammate for the touchdown. Whitmire faked a run, then threw to Brock for the extra point to give Boodleville a 13-0 halftime lead. The final Bullet tally was set up when Rudeen intercepted a 3rd Reynolds pass on 3rd Reynolds 10- yard line. On the first play, Whitmire, being rushed, faded back to the 25 and threw a long one that was grabbed by Rudeen for the TD. The attempted run for the extra point failed. Led by Derreberry and Anderson, 3rd Reynolds started a drive that ended with Derreberry legging the ball 20 yards for the score. The extra point try was no good. Derreberry's TD run marked the first time this season Boodleville has been -scored on. Since the intramural tournament is a double elimination affair, 3rd Reynolds still has a chance to win the championship. Boodleville's success so far this season has been due to their stubborn defense. THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Friday, November 6, 1959 game, Stub Hyde climaxed an 80- yard drive by throwing to Stump Turner for the game-winning TD. Hyde's aerial to Turner on the extra point was good to make it 13- 6 in favor of 2nd Reynolds. Time ran out as Delta Sigma was threatening with the ball on 2nd Reynolds 5-yard line. The win extended 2nd Reynolds season record to 3-9. Delta Sigma has a 2-1 record. Bob Coffin and Danny Sells played outstanding defensive ball for Delta Sigma, while there was no certain defensive standout for 2nd Reynolds.
