Marshall40- Findlay 22

In their first game of the season the Big Green rolled to an impressive 40-22 victory over Find­lay College. Quarterback Bob Hamlin showed his passing ability as he took to the air for 150 yards and ran for an additional 86. This win gave the Marshall squad its first opening victory since Coach Snyder came here four years ago.

Injuries riddled the team right from the start as Everett Vance and Bill Bobbitt were put on the sick list. Vance was to miss the whole season due to his injury and Bobbitt a good portion of it due to an appendicitis attack.

Snyder started five sophomores against Findlay in Jim Lewis, Bobbitt, Dave Boston, Jim Brown and Bill Winters.

''I'll gel il."

Marshall 6 - Bowling Green 48

The Big Green team was still wondering how many teams they faced after the thrashing they received at Bowling Green, Ohio, in their second game of the season. Marshall gained a total of 97 yards rushing and passing compared to the 514 yards run up by the Falcons. The Big Gre.en were the first to draw blood on a 22 yard pass play from quarterback Bob Hamlin to sophomore end Jim Cure. But at halftime the score read BG 21 and MU 6. The Falcons tallied three more times in the third period and ended the contest with a final TD in the fourth quarter. Bowling Green used a total of 2 S backs and it appeared they were running in two or three players each

play.

Marshall 0- Louisville 18

In the third game of the season the Big Green gridders dropped their second loss in a row to a talented group of Cardinals from Louisville. Center Roger Jefferson and halfback Zeke Myers were chosen players of the week due to their efforts to stop the attack led by quarterback

Johnny Giles. Penalties and the lack of offensive punch kept the Big Green Machine from getting started. Also the Louisville pass defense stopped Bob Hamlin's aerial attack but his line gave him excellent protection. Unlike the score, the contest was close.

Marshall 12 - Toledo 42

The Big Green went after their second win of the season but their efforts were to no avail a~ the Rockets from Toledo really poured it on with the running of all-conference fullback Frank Baker who scored three touchdowns. Coach Snyder noted that the Big Green had several "gambles" that backfired into Toledo scoring plays. Several Big Green players were praised, in­cluding quarterback Hamlin, line stalwarts Roger Jefferson and Bob Maxwell, and Bill Winter who nabbed a Toledo pass and raced into the end zone for the first MU score. Coach Snyder noted that the Rocket quarterback had a field day against the unusually porous Marshall pass defense. One oc­casion was when a Rocket defender grabbed a Hamlin aerial and eight plays later the men from Toledo hit paydirt. One injury was sustained in the encounter as fullback Al Rinehart suffered a shoulder bruise. This injury ran the total number of injured players on the Big Green squad to three and this bugaboo hampered them all season.

One aerial attack shot down.

Marshall 14- Kent State 23

Aerial lightning struck at Kent State on Oct. 13 but it wasn't quite enough. MU quarterback Bob Hamlin shared his moments of glory with sopho­more sensation Jim Cure as Cure pulled in seven passes for 15 7 yards and racked up both Big Green tallies. At this point Hamlin was ranked fourth in the nation in the passing department and was due to move up a notch as soon as his record of 48 of 97 pass completions was an­nounced. The Kent State players ranked Cure as the best pass receiver they had seen up to that con­test and that included Bob Jencks of Miami after Miami had beaten Purdue and squeaked by the Flashes. Coach Snyder cited the performances of Glenn Bell, Clyde Pierce, Mike Hicks, Bob Max­well and Roger Jefferson as key players in the defeat. Jim Brown and Jack Mahone displayed good offensive efforts as their team went down once again.

Marshall 26 - Morehead 18

In their best game of the season so far the Big Green offensive machine finally got rolling and punched holes in the Eagles' de­fense. MU had a total rushing yardage of 134 and quarterback Bob Hamlin came through with a fine performance completing 8 for 17 passes with a total of 82 yards gained. Dave Boston, sophomore fullback, was the game's top rusher galloping for a total of 64 yards in 15 attempts. Three times MSC aerials were intercepted by an alert Big Green defense. Sophomore Larry Coyer was credited with two of these interceptions and also ran a punt return for 36 yards. Coach Snyder complimented Jim Brown and Mike Hicks for what he termed outstanding blocking performances. Once again Jimmy Cure came into the limelight as Coach Guy Penny commented on the fine performance of the Hamline-to-Cure passing combination.

Marshall 0- Western Michigan 12

The Big Green's bid for a homecoming victory was thwarted on Oct. 27 as the team fell to a strong eleven from Western Michigan by the score of 12-0. Going for their first conference win of the season, the Big Green gridders bogged down at crucial points in the game and never fully re­covered enough to defeat the Broncos. Three times MU was inside the ten yard stripe of WMU and three times they were halted by an alert pass defense. A fourth scoring chance came when halfback Jim Brown couldn't find the handle and dropped a pass from Hamlin on the Bronco two yard line. Coach Snyder picked guard Clyde Pierce and back Dick Fillmore as the out­standing players in the Marshall cause.

"Look, ma, no head."

Marshall 0 - Ohio University 35

Statistically speaking it was perhaps one of the finest days this year for the MU gridders. At half­time they held a 126 to 96 yards passing ad­vantage over one of the top ten pass defenses in the nation. Things looked good for the underdogs of Marshall until the second half, even with a

14-0 disadvantage at the end of the first half. Then the OU gridders began to score at will and looked like the best in the MAC. They scored twice in the third period and once on a pass inter­ception at the close of the game. This loss left the Big Green without a win in conference play.

Get off my back!

"I feel fine"

"We're sitting high and dry"

Marshall 13- Xavier 6

Praise came from all corners of the Big Green dressing room, including the MAC Commissioner, Dr. David Reese, as the gridders from Marshall came through with their third win of the season and what Coach Snyder termed "The best since I've been here." For Marshall it was their finest day in many seasons. Despite the wet grounds that hampered the Big Green aerial attack, they scored their first TD in three weeks and notched their first win since beating Morehead three weeks before. Hamlin completed four passes, two of them to his favorite target, Jim Cure. Jabo Wil­liams rushed over from nine yards out for the first tally and fullback Al Rinehart added the clincher.

Marshall 26- Butler 14

Roaring to a touchdown in each period the Big Green offensive machine got underway and led the MU team to an impressive 26-14 win over the Butler Bulldogs, Indiana Intercollegiate Champions, in the last contest of the season. Roger Jefferson, Clyde Pierce, Bob Hamlin, Bob Maxwell, Gary Zickefoose and Dennie Skeens played their last game for the Green and White. Hamlin and Cure had another field day as they combined for a total of 106 yards between them in the air. Cure caught four passes to set a new yardage record for a Marshall player. This game also gave Jim a total of 46 pass receptions for the year for 666 yards which was tops in the MAC and earned him All-American Honorable Mention honors. This victory was the fourth of the 1962 season and the second in a row for Coach Charlie Snyder's charges. This was also the most number of wins registered in a single season since Snyder has been head coach here at Mar­shall.
