fought the Eagles as they've never
been fought before. the Martin

better game than the one they put
up last night. They were all over
the field, and Lcsser's hustling al
most got him in trouble. as Referee
Sanders called three fouls on him,
and one more would have put him
off the court. But Sam was a little
more cautious in the second half, and
stayed the limit.
