EMORY WINS FINAL BATTLE OF YEAR FROM L.M.U. 18-0
--------------------------------------
Wasps Keep Home Slate Clean For 1924 Season By Clean-Cut
Victory -- McCready and Owen Chief Ground Gainers -- Lawrence Runs 80 Yards
Emory, Va., Nov. 22. -- The Wasps
kept their home slate clean for '24 by winning over Lincoln Memorial here
today by the score of 18 to 0. Two touchdowns, one in the second and the
other in the fourth period with a pair of beautiful placements by Weaver
from the 35 yard line in the third period gave the Wasps their total.
Fullerton's team showed clear superiority in the field of straight football
making seventeen first downs on line bucks and end runs, to 4 for Lincoln.
Dan McCready and Owen carried the ball chiefly for
the Wasps, continuing their great offensive work for the past three games.
Lincoln made three first downs on passes, completing a numberof nice ones
for good gains. The Tennessee team threatened to score in the first and
fourth periods and their touchdown, made only on fake plays was called
illegal by referee Adams. Their aerial game was insufficient to make them
score when deep in scoring territory.
The first touchdown for the Wasps came in the
second period after a steady march from mid-field. The second followed in
the fourth period after Dick Lawrence, a Bristol lad, had scooped up a line
fumble and carried it 80 yards, only to be downed on his opponents' 5 yard
line. McCready carried the ball over. The longest runs of the day were
Lawrence's 80 yard one in final play, and McCready's 35 yard break through
Lincoln's line in the third period.
McCready, Owen, Tom Cole and Lawrence were stars
for the Wasps, while Turner, captain and quarterback was the outstanding man
for Lincoln.
