like a stonewall Muecke broke
through and dumped Herting for 6
yard loss. Here Hartford suffered
its first penalty for offside play

him for a loss. A forward pass was
tried on the last down, Griffin break
ing up the play, and it was New

first play and on the next play Hart
ford was offside again, another pen
atty being inflicted. Murtha got a
