Relying entirely on a forward pass

offensive maneuvre in their repertoire

sdry, the Clarion Independents yester-
day scored five tOuchdOwns against
the local American Legion football
team and won 35 to 0. The game was
played at Clarion.
Henley, lightning end for Clarion,
scored all five of the touchdowns, pick
ing passes out of the air and Outdis-
tancins pursuers in sprints for the goal
line. His shortest run for Il touchdown
was thirty yards. On two occasions
he ran sixty.

passes into open territory and leading
the receiver so that their throws were

the line for five straight first downs.
