One Counted And One Didn't: Art Perkins (44) Scores Exes9 TD At Left While Abner Haynes (28) Was Ruled Out Of Bounds On One-Foot Line
NTSU’s Varsity stopped a
drive to its 1-foot line in the
last 40 seconds Friday night
to turn back the Exes 27-22
in the first Alumni - Varsity
football game at Fouts Field.
With about a minute to play
Abner Haynes (‘59) threaded the
left sideline for an apparent 11-
yard touchdown sprint which
would have put the Exes on top
28-27 But head linesman Lou Cross
ruled Haynes had stepped out of
bounds one foot short of paydirt.
Quarterback Robert Duty (‘60)
then lost the handle to the slip-,
pery pigskin twice, once recover-
ing his own fumble for a tyo-
yard loss and the second time
losing it to an unidentified green-
jersey ed lineman.
Three keepers by Varsity quar-
terback Billy Ryan expired the
clock, ending one of the finest,
and sometimes funniest, football
games ever played here. ,

back four repeated charges.
Only seconds remained on the
clock the second time the Varsity
got within striking distance, and
this time NTSU assistant coach
Bobby Way (‘59) broke through to
throw quarterback Tim Falgout
for an 11-yard loss to end the
first half, with the score still 14-8.

In the dressing room afterward,
Coach Odus Mitchell remarked,
"They (the exes) did a good job
against us and I think we learned
something" He paused and then
said to one of the alumnus. "If
you guys hadn't bought off the
referees. it (the 27-22 score)
would have been a lot worse."

for water and his blocked field

The scoring went opposite to
what had been expected with the
Varsity getting all four of its
TDs from outside the 10—two on
plays of more than 40 yards—and
the Exes getting all three of its
scores on sustained drives.
It had been expected the Var-
sity would do most of the sus-
tained driving with the Exes using
the quick, long TD.
But the Varsity counted in the
first minute and half as junior
halfback A. D. Whitfield sped
around left end for 47 yards at
13 36 fullback Dwain Bean, whose
interception had set up the play,
kicked the extra point to give the
Varsity a 7-0 lead.

Duty to Haynes which placed the
ball on the Varsity 35.
EXES THREATEN
The Exes had another scoring
opportunity early in the second
period when Richard Farris (‘62)
intercepted a Billy Ryan pass on
the Varsity 40 and returned it to
the 29.
But Zeke Martin, the Exes' eld-
er statesman CSH, failed to move
the team in three plays and Bob-

attempt was short.
