West ern And Eastern Meet At

Homecoming Again

Homecoming with Eastern's Maroons as

the opponent on the gridiron-what memo

-ries such a combination revives! Shades of

1941 when the unbeaten Maroons came in

as overwhelming favorites and left Bowling

Green on the short end of a 27-20 score This

after leading 20-0 at halftime too

Then there is that great game of 1 48

when again Eastern came in for Homeco

m-ing as a definite favorite and left town wea

r-ing a 14-13 defeat

Homecoming - the 20 previous games

played on this day have been close and

thrill-packed frays Not a single game has

ever been dull

It would be hard to single out any one

game and point to it as the top Homecoming

tilt However, that 1941 scrap will rank alo g

with the best but not far behind will be the

1948 game

Any of the 5,500 persons who jammed the

Western Stadium on that sunny October 25th

afternoon back in 1941 will never forget

what a beaten team the Hilltoppers were

when they went to dressing room at

half-time Trailing 20-0, they had literally been

pushed out of the stadium The gloom was

deep among the Western supporters but the

visiting Maroon fans were joyous This joy

was not for long, though

In the short span of the third quarter the

Hilltoppers had tied the score and were

pushing the Maroons out of the stadium

now What a transformation! Gene Sparrow,

Johnny Mazola, Joe Cullen, Lou Cullen, Dick

Crouch and Bob Wilson simply refused to

acknowledge defeat Wilson added the final

touch in the fourth quarter when he inte

r-cepted a desperate Maroon pass and raced

65 yards through the entire Eastern eleven

for the winning marker

Eastern, boasting a powerhouse in 1948,

came back to Bowling Green to meet the

underdog Hilltoppers on their Homecoming

Day This time it was a cool but sunny

No-vember afternoon which saw the Western

Stadium jammed to capacity

The Hilltoppers didn't let the Maroons

get the jump on them this time Jim Pickens

got his slintshot right arm going and before

the Maroons could get settled down "Slim

Jim" had toosed two touchdown passes to Jewel Browning Tom Montelli had his toe

in tip top condition as he split the uprights

perfectly to give the Hilltoppers a 14-0 half-time lead

Eastern was not through, though The Maroons had a great team and they showed

it as they came storming back in similar fash-ion to the Hilltoppers of 1941 Twice they

pushed across touchdowns in the third period but one try for extra point was missed and

Western still held a slim one-point lead as the fourth quarter o ened

Here the Maroons opened up with a des

-perate passing attack which almost paid off Had Jim Pickens n t been the Western back-field picking Maroon aerials ou t of the air

every time the Eastern eleven threatened during that hectic fourth quarter, the story

might have ended differently But Pickens pulled down four potential Eastern touch-down tosses which broke the Maroons' spirit

The final blow came when Pickens took the

ball away from an Eastern end as both

fought for the pass on the Western goal

That interc ption put the game on ice for

Western and sent the Maroons back to

Rich-mond beaten again

So today in this 1950 Homecoming tilt

two ancient rivals meet again to renew a football rivalry begun back in 1914 Over the

years the Hilltoppers and the Maroons have

played each other 22 times Western has emerged victorious 17 times and Eastern five times The Hilltoppers piled up their victory

skein over the Maroons before World War II

In the 18 meetings prior to the

discontinu-ance of football at both schools because of

the war in 1942, Western had won 16 times

and Eastern twice

Since the war when football was revived

in 1946 at both schools Eastern has whipped

the Hilltoppers three out of four games To-day the Hilltoppers will be out to continue

the mastery over Eastern in Homecoming

tilts and get started again on a long string

of victories such as the mighty Western

teams of the twenties and thirties were able

to put together

This game will certainly produce plenty

of a tion and thrills, if it follows to any

degree at all, the pace set in past Eastern-Western Homecoming tilts
