Kokomo American Legion gridders
defeated the Muncie Durant football
team here yesterday, 10 to 8. The
Durant team was formerly known as
the Muncie Offers More eleven.
The cool weather put pep" in the
players and the game was fast. Mum
Gle scored early in the first period.
when Harkins intercepted a lateral
forward pass and raced thirty yards
for a touchdown. Muncie failed at a
try for point. Kokomo opened an at
tack in which Cardwell, King and
Corners ripped through the Muncie
tackles and cut back on end runs for
steady gains. Carwell's passes con-
tributed two big gains and Kokomo
scored a TOUCHDOWN. Carwell's toe
scored in a try for point.
Later ia the period the same toe
scored a place-kick from the forty
two-yard line. Buckholtz scored a
TOUCHDOWN for Kokomo in the third
period. A kick in a try for point went
wild. Cardwell scored a drop-kick
from the thirty-yard line and the score
ended Kokomo, 10; Muncie, 6. Card
well made his kicks average close to
sixty yards.
