CATS BLANK
INVADERS IN
GAME FRIDAY
]. c. Coston, Jr., Shows up
Well Starting First Game
Against Black Mt.

The HenderSonville high school
Bearcats turned back the Black
Mountain high school here yester-
DAY afternoon "a TO D.
Greatly outclaSSed, the visitors
fought hard and, aided by an in
different performance by the Cats,
held the score 20 60 at half time
but with the Cats rolling along IN
the second half We're unable 10
consistently gain extensively or de-
fenSively.
With reserves in several posi-
tons the Cats drove to the Black
Mountain 9-yard line early IN the
game but lost the ball on downs.
With COStOn leading the attack
they took a short kick out and
Hill passed to Mobley for touch
down shortly before the quarter
ended.
In the second quarter Black
Mountain opened up on it's often
sive and clicked Off several first
downs but never threatened while
the locals also failed 10 show any
drive except for a last minute
passing attack from AnderS TO
QuarleS and Quarles TO Anders
that netted 33 yards on three
tries.
Mobley started the fireworks IN
the second half when he took the
opening kickoff on his own 10
ward line and raced Il yards TO
the Black Mountain 3S-yard line.
Coston ripped off 20 around end
but the visitors stiffened and took
the ball on downs. Gray punted
out % the HenderSOnville 4O-yard
line where CoSton took the punt
and Sprinted 81 yards. Mobley,
Hill and CoSton pushed on down
10 the courtyard line and CoSton
went over for the touchdown.
In the final period, Raymond
English blocked Gray's punt on
Black Mountains 29-yard-line and
QuarleS passed to Pokey Anders
for 80 yards and the third touch
down.
Anders set UP the final score by
smashing off tackle for p yards
20 the Black Mountain l9-yard
line and Immediately following
with y yards to the I-yard line,
Quarles, Anders and Hill pushed
to the l-yard line and Anders
went over.
With the third team in the WIS.,
itors picked up a couple Of first
downs in the closing minutes OF
the game and, aided by penalties,
we're on the locals l2-yard line
for their only threat as the game
ended.
Black Mountain was greatly
handicapped by lack OF weight and
reserve strength and never offered
a threat. Gray, who did most OF
their running, all of their passing
and kicking, was good for several
nice gains but his kicking was very
poor. Britain, midget back, got
one nice gain but was thereafter
more liability than asset.
J. c. COstOn. Jr., in his first
starting game showed we'll and
accounted for a lot of the local
yardage. He runs well and kicks
nicely. Pokey AnderS played only
a part of the game but accounted
for several nice gains. -,
The Cats played indifferent ball
throughout. English started slow
IL but came through TO block two
puntS; Jenkins and Waddell show
ed well and at times the first and
second string lines showed consid-
cradle promise but seemed content
to loaf through against weak OPP
position.
The Bearcats gained 1873 yards
from scrimmage. ~ in the hrSt
half and 81 in the second. Black
Mountain netted 30 yards IN the
first half and IL in the second Tor
a total of At yards. On passing
the Cats threw Z, completed D for
n wards against 8 thrown and no
competitions for the visitors.
In the kicking department. Cos
ton and AnderS booted only occa-
sionally but far outdiStanced Gray
who had two blocked and several
that went only a few yards. Cos
ton gained we'll on returned kicks
and on one punt Hill lateraled 10
Mobley to register a good gain.
First downs were: Cats, IL;
Black Mountain, s.
