Varsity Football The Big Green, with a 2-7-1 record

for 1961, was able to equal last season's tally, but could not pull ahead. Lack of depth was a big problem towards the early part of the year, some of the opposing teams switching units every 4 minutes, but cool weather and a second team, developed late in the season, softened this major trouble.

V . M. I. 33 The Big Green tried out its wings against the tough

Virginia Military Academy Keydets and suffered a 33 to 6 defeat in front of an opening night crowd of eight thousand fans. Marshall's defense held well until the final two minutes of the third quarter, keeping the Keydets to a narrow 8-6 lead, then broke, allowing two V.M.I. scores before the end of the period.

A 90 yard runbock on a kickoff and a pass inter­ception accounted for the two rapid-fire touchdowns in the third quarter.

The Big Green had scored on a 35 yard pass from Ralph May to Jasper Wright, followed by a Keydet TD and a safety on Millard Fleming, closing out the first half.

Marshall was beset by penalty difficulties, con­tributing heavily to her defeat. Another major problem was fatigue . Due to its lock of depth and V.M.I.'s two . complete units, the Big Green was at a big d isadvantage in the Iotter part of the game, which showed up in the score, as it did several times later in the season.

Anyone for a rest?

Bowling Green 40 Marshall went down to defeat at the hands of a

rugged Bowling Green, picked by many to cop the Mid­American Conference title as they went on to do at the end of the season . Stunned by the Falcons razzel-dazzel offensive and defensive play, the Big Green could not muster a scoring threat deeper than the BG 25 yard line late in the second quarter.

Still having trouble, the Big Green pass defense could not stop Bowling Green quarterback, Jerry Potts', pin point passing which highlighted every scoring drive by the Falcons.

Bowling Green scored the first time it got its hands on the ball , running it back from the kickoff on a drive 'that was climaxed by a four yard dive by fullback Terry Hartshorn .

The Falcons took the offensive again in the second period, f ighting their way to the Marshall goal with the running of Don Lrsbon and the passing of Potts.

In the second half the Falcons made the game a runaway as three more of their men rated the scoring column.

Now how did the coach soy we were to stop o man?

Marshall 7 Univ.

With Millard Fleming making Mar­shall's only touchdown, the University of Louisville romped over the Big Green by a score of 32-7. Fleming ran the play off the right tackle for a 36 yard run in the first quarter of the game.

Rushing wise, Marshall topped the Cardinals, 184 to 141, with fullback Dixon Edwards leading his team with 104 yards in 22 carries.

Bill Nardo

of Louisville 32 Johnny Giles led the team from Louis­

According to coach Snyder, " They just outclassed us man to man.'; He admitted that the Big Green matched a poor pass defense against one of the best passers in Louisville's conference.

Univ. of Toledo 33

Suffering an acute shortage of ends, the Big Green took on the University of Toledo and suffered another defeat 33-6, putting it in the cellar of the M id-Ameri­can conference.

The usual Marshall starters, Ron Mazeska and Jim Michel, were both benched by injuries, and quarterback Ralph May was absent due to a sickness in the family, killing passing hopes.

A much improved pass defense was able to contain Toledo's aerial attack, but lack of manpower depth came to the fore again to slow the Big Green down in the latter half, allowing a Toledo's two units to run them ragged.

Graduating seniors toke their lost pose . Row 1: J im Keatley, Dixon Edwards, Stan Smith, Malcolm Price, Richard Thomas and Harpe r Hill . Row 2: Rolph May, Rucker Wickline, Jim Yoho, Jim Michel, and Bill Nardo.

God be with us. And away he goes.

Stanley Smith Richard Thomas

You con quit looking now fellows, the boll is over here.

Marshall 14 - Kent State 8 Quarterback Ralph May was back at

the helm to lead Marshall's dumbfound­ing attock ·on Kent State's Golden Flashes. The f ired up crowd, team spirit and ag­gressiveness and close back and forth play combined to make this perhaps the most memorable game of the year .

May, and ends Jim Michel and Ron Mazeska were back in the game to wage the Big Green's aerial warfare while end

Bill Nardo was still recuperating from a sprained knee.

Kent tried to wear the Green down again by changing units every seven minutes, but this time they just wouldn't wear down.

This game proved to be the turning point after which the Green's defense began to receive nothing but .praise, which con­tinued to increase until the end of the season .

Morehead State 0

More than 7,000 homecoming fans watched as the Big Green slipped and skidded to a 0 to 0 tie with More­head State College Eagles.

After two days of ra in and a thorough churning job by the Huntington East-St. Albans high school game, the playing surface was in such a state that it was probably an important factor in the lack of scoring .

The cold and threat of drizzle served also, no doubt, to keep many fair-weather football buffs from swelling the homecoming crowd.

The Marshall defense, which went on to reap elabo­rate praise later in the season, was able to maintain the la rge improvement experienced at the Kent State game.

Maybe I could turn around and go the ather way.

w. Michigan Univ. 20

Playing before Western Michigan's homecoming crowd, Marshall's Big Green suffered another defeat, 20-0.

Their shaky pass defense again wasn't up to par and the Bronco team, led by quarterback Ed Chlebek, drilled holes in the Green's defense and left Western Michigan very strongly in the running for the Mid-American Con­ference Title.

Marshall's bull-dozer fullback, Dixon Edwards, led his team in rushing with 68 yards in 17 carries which was more than half of the total of 131 yards. Mi li a rd Fleming was another big contributor with 38 yards to his credit.

Most of these juniors will see action in next year' s schedule . Row 1: Clyde Pierce, Roger Jefferson, Dennie Skeens, Bob Hamlin, Robert Maxwell. Row 2: Jasper Wright, Rolph White, Jim Evans, Ron Painter, and Gary Zigofoase.

Hit him again, again, harder, harder.

Ohio Univ. 14

The Big Green drew f irst blood, but could not hold its lead, as the Ohio University Bobcats gained momentum in the lost half and scored their lost two touchdowns.

Marshall took advantage of a fumble on the OU 18 yard line and turned it into a touchdown with M illard Fleming p iling over the stripe from the three. J im Keatley booted the conversion to make it 7-0 .

The lead lasted until early in the third quarter, when the Bobcats' Jim Pontuni turned the tables and ron a Marshall fumble over and plowed over again for the extra two points.

Not satisfied with this, he intercepted a pass that Ohio took for another score, with Bill Bobbitt sneaking the lost 11.

The half-t ime crowd was entertained by Marshall's ROTC drum and bugle corps .

Closing their season at the second annual Shrine Bowl game, the Big Green ended regular season ploy with a 20-0 victory over Eastern Kentucky .

Malcolm Price, end, received a touchdown pass from Ralph May and ran far a 23 yard touchdown early in the f irst quarter to start the game's lead. Jim Keatley added the extra point and the Big Green led 7-0 .

The second score come in the second quarter as the result of a 62 yard drive when May spotted halfback Millard Fleming alone in the end zone and fired him a 23 yo rd pass.

Marshall's last score came in the final quarter when halfback Jasper Wright grabbed a 53 yard pass and sped for the score. Again Keatley made the extra point.

Although Marshall ended the season with a 2-7-1 record, Coach Snyder expressed that he was well pleased with the season.
