ted his man with unerring accuracy,
only to see him tumble the pass time
and again. Once he shot the ball thru
the air forty-five yards to kleVe, who
had a clear field, but fumbled the
ball. One thing noticeable about the
work of the local boys was that they
fought just as hard or harder in the
last quarter, when horelessly beaten,
as they did at the start OF the game
Three times in the first half, too,
they held Benson inside the ten yard
line and took the ball on intercepted
forward passes. Absolutely punk
Judgment on the part of Benson's
quarterback cost his team three
touchdowns in the first half. With
the ball near the goal line, instead of
using his smashing halls, he called for
forward passes, and each time Will
mar intercepted the pass. Another
score was averted when Ralph Hoyt
downed a Benson runner, from be-
hind, when he had clear field in
front of him. The play in detail fol-
