ond half they lost the bali on

tbe fourth down. Allen called fo'
place kick and booted the BAL
neatly between the up rights.
The juniors took the lead in the
second period when John Afford in
tercepted pass and ran 60 yards
before he was dowRed. Paine made
the remaining two yards, scoring on
the next play.

star of the game, figured in two
long runs. I'm the first one he
broke away for n 40 yard dash
