A backfield which consisted of

twenty minutes OF play scored two
touchdowns on the second team.
The new additions to the back
field were Billy Ross, quarterback.

cause he can get away for end runs

man who stayed in his position.
The first touchdown was scored

the one-foot line. The second touch
down was scored by Joe Bogdanski,
right end, who covered a. distance
of approximately 10 yards after he
caught forward pass.
"Gunny" Nelson. left end, stayed

team was Bill Mangan. who is in
eligible to take part in sports for
