the contest. Captain Red" Dollar

when he drop kicked a perfect field
from. the thirty-fve yard line. The
score came after about FIVE minutes
Of hard fighting just after the Saliies
registered their first down. Dollar

failed.
With the lead Coach Mailoy's lads

first half was over Burke had crossed
sacred territory for a touchdown.
The interrogation What was the

been put many times since Saturday
but the answer remains, the better

pass which gained them much
ground at the beginning OF the fray.

the counting punch. After Dolan had
scored the three pointer the Cherry

football ability when they totaled
three first downs. Then within ten
yards OF the goal line Norman
White fumbled just a. he went
through the line.
Coach Malloy knew that his team
would be outweighed and therefore
had planned for the aerial attack
which neted them yardage In
abundance. The passes were not long

But the one who was responsible
for getting the pigskin 80 near was
