Attempted


football unleaShed high powered
passing attack late in the finale
quarter that actually for the first
time this season brought the fans
to their feet cheering wildly only
to go down fighting with their
backs to the wall. The Elizabeth
City team outplayed, outfought
and outgained the SeWanee team
only to lose Is to 6 due to bad
breaks and careless quarterback.
The Cards for the first time this
year showed the spirit and the re-
suits of a weeks practice. They
ran up total Of 10 first downs to
three for the visitors and complet-
ed five passes out of nine attempt
ed. Intercepted two of the SeWa-
nee aeriaiS and had one pass in
tercepted. Wood Boyce. eX-Jacket
was the big gun in the backfleld
Yesterday running and passing
with his old time form. Morgan,
Card pivot man played the best
game of his career. The slim CEN
ter was poison on the defense and
was blocking in the secondary like
q demon. Teaming with Boyce in
backfield was another former
school player. Raynor Pritchard,
who ran, charged and intercepted
passes to share a major part OF
the burden. John PritChard, elon-
gated flankman, teamed with the
flashy Shirt Sawyer to form one
sweet pair OF ends.
Sewanec Scores Early
The visiting team opened the
game by starting a punting duel
with Johnson which netted them
many yards in the game. Early in
the initial period the visitors had
pushed the Cards back on the
eighteen yard line where the line
stiffened to take the ball. On the
first play Boyce went off tackle
for nice gain but the play went
for naught when Cooper repeated
his same offenSe of last week by
pushing with his hands on the Of
fense. The hard part was that the
pushing was not on the ball car
rier nor did it do any good. The
penalty was fifteen yards which
left the ball on the three yard
stripe.
On the next play the visitors
blocked JohnsonS punt on the
goal line and ran it across for the
score. The kick for the point was
good and SeWance lead 7 to 0.
Score Safety
In less than three minutes the
visitors had the home club back
on the goal line again and again
Johnson attempted to kick out.
This time however, the pass from
center was bad and Honey mo-
mentarily fumbled the ball only
to be sWarmed by charging line
men. Johnson doWned the ball CIV
ing them two points rather than
taking a chance of scoring six
The score now was 9 to 0.
Cards Score
Late in the second frame Boyce
got off a. low punt that was
bounding crafty and a charging
lineman partially blocked it. Mon
Than picked up the ball and at
tempted to lateral to another back
that was incomplete making the
ball a free ball. Pritchard recover
ed on the two yard line for the on
" break of the game in the Cards
favor. w. Sawyer hit center for a
yard and Raynor Pritchard scored
on q quarterback sneak. Boyce' S
pass was wide and the score stood
9 to 6.
Scwanee Scores Again
Early in the final period after
the Cardinals had been pushed
back on their goal line again due
to a bad break and loss by short
punts the visitors shot a pass IN
the flat zone that was juggled by
two or three Sewanee players and
a couple Of Cardinals trying vain
ly to knock the pigskin to the
ground, but finally landing safely
in the arms of a SeWanee end for
another score. The kick for the
extra point was low and the score
was Is to 6.
The Cardinals took the kick Oft
deep in their territory and Prltch-
ard hefty end brought it back to
the thirty yard marker. On the
next play Boyce passed to Pritch-
ard for twenty yards. Then re-
peated to Sawyer for twenty
yards. The next two heaves went
to Droopy Cooper, temperamental
quarterback placing the ball in
the ten yard line. Here the CARDS
offense begged down and they
failed to score. This squirt brought
back to the minds of the fans OF
the plays of past years when the
Cards were tops in the football
world Even tho they would not
have won if they had scored the
last touchdown the gallery cheer
ed wildly and once again became
