all a lighting spirit that refused 10 be
squelched.
Hammond started scoring in the sec

points the rest Of the game. OF the
five touchdowns. four were made by
Evans. who shone brilliantly Gearing
kicked two goals. His speed on his feet
was demonstrated time after time when
ne skirted the end of the line for big
gains and on one occaion carried the ball
eighty yards for a touchdown.
Hammond did not really get down to
hard playing until the second half, when
the old pep began to show itself. Once
