mate by the Calvert Cavaliers the pre-
vious week, the Rising Sun soccer
team suddenly landed on the visitors
last Thursday and proceeded to send
the Cavaliers back home nursing a
thorough and decisive mauling to the
top heavy score of 80. Three field
goals and two penalties accounted for
the Rising Sun scoring.

game, but failed countless times to
push the globe through the standards.
