1948 GRID SEASON
As the first chilled nights of autumn had
started to turn the leaves to that never-to-be-
forgotten hue, Coach Joe Black Hayes' third
Bulldog eleven opened the season full of dreams
and prospects of the best Cumberland team in
several decades.
The season opened against Bethel on the Bull-
dogs' own Kirk Field and, as had been expected,
the Bulldogs prevailed over the Corporals by a
convincing 26 to 6.
Then came the unforeseen: a good Austin
Peay team caught the Bulldogs flat and thor-
oughly thrashed the Bulldogs 39 to 7.

The Austin Peay game was a good lesson. However the
Following week-end found Florida State's big Seminoles
administering the second of such lessons as the Bulldogs
fought gamely before a fast moving foe. The Seminoles,
rolling relentlessly on the ground and striking swiftly through
the air, kept the situation well in hand for sixty minutes and
won handily 30 to 0.
The familiar confines of the home stadium seemed to
have no effect as little Tusculum upset the Bulldogs 7 to 6.

Gloomy tides had swept the campus after
three consecutive losses, yet the coaches, a few
Faithfuls, and the maroon and white warriors
still believed they were capable of playing win-
ning football.
A powerful Georgetown team invaded the
Bulldog lair favored to win by several touch-
downs. hHowever, the valiant Bulldogs rose to
their greatest heights and virtually blasted
Georgetown off the field v/ith a ringing 14 to 7
upset.
Seven days later the Bulldogs extended their
win streak to two in a row with a 12 to 7 win
over a stubborn UT Junior College eleven.
Then came the big moment, the climax to the
greatest homecoming in the long history of the
university. The Bulldogs entered the game a
solid favorite over Union's mediocre team, hiovv-
ever. Union, capitalizing on the breaks, upset
the Bulldogs 14 to 6.
With enthusiasm at a new low the battered
but game Cumberland eleven invaded MTSC
for another game of the bitter rivalries. The
Bulldogs gained the yardage but MTSC scored
the points as Cumberland dropped number five,
I 3 to 0.

HIGHLIGHTS
The last game of the season again found the
Bulldogs playing good football but on the short
end of a 27 to 14 score. Delta State's fine eleven
topped the maroon and white gladiators this time,
as the season ended with a 3-6 record.
The outstanding players for the '48 season were,
Carl Boley, All-conference halfback; Gene Law-
rence, fullback; Jack King and Gene Lentz, guards
selected on the second All-conference team; and
Benton Whiteaker, center, second All-conference
team; Robert McCullough, end, second All-con-
ference team.

SUCCESS ON THE HARDWOOD
The 1948-49 cagers opened the season
with high hopes, yet shrouded in mys-
teries. There were very few returning
lettermen and Coach Pete Craig had ro
rebuild his quintet as Coach Kirby Jordan
had built his teanns in the previous sea-
sons.
The season saw little to delight the
average Cumberland fan. Obie Free-
man's scoring and the one brief moment

the highlights of the season. At times the
efforts of the squad was gallant but the
scores of the opponents were too often
above sixty.
Lacking height, experience and re-
serves, the Bulldog cagers had a most
unimpressive four victories in thirty
games. hHowever Bob Jennings' spirit and
drive; Carl Boley's amazing ability to drive
under the basket; hlubert Smothers' fine
game against LMU; "Bull" Williams' fine
play at center and the great teamwork
and leadership of Sam Kennedy are all
memories of the '49 season.
Boley and O. Freeman were the high
scorers of the team, with Boley being
named on the second All-conference
team.

BASEBALL
The 1948 baseball team enjoyed by far the best
season of any major athletic team at Cumberland in
the past eight years. The team, Coached by Kirby
Jordan and Captained by versatile Jack hHamlin,
played with the old College spirit that has not been
predominant in intercollegiate competition since the
end of World War II.
The team was well balanced at all positions, mostly
with veteran baseball players who knew what they
and did their respective jobs witii

ivorkmanlike efficiency. This team was probably
one of the all time great baseball teams at
Cumberland.
The Bulldogs, in winning 10, losing 4, and tie-
ing 2 games, defeated their arch rivals from
MTSC and TPI in a major athletic contest for
the first time since the basketball team accom-
plished this feat in 1941.
C. Kerr, Jack hHamlin, Brown Braley and Jack
King led the Bulldogs at the plate, while Bob
Jennings, Ed Gibson and Gene HHoyt had the
best records of the pitchers.
