Arabs really Deen serious about the
affair but after driving to a touch
down as soon as they received the
ball in the first period, they settled
back TO let things come as they
might.
/ The Arabs elected to stick strictly
TO passing after running their way
to the first score. Consequently. Rus
sell Peck and Marvin Walker pegged
the ball 80 times in the hours tea
party.
Peck did most of the passing
against the light inexperienced
Marines. however, as Walker. the
jaysee triple-threat left halfback,
played only a few minutes. 1t was
the third quarter before Coach Ger
~ Dennerlein took the wraps off
Walker and sent him in. His in
structions were not to utilize his
slippery running but to stick to the
air-laneS. which he did.
10 PASSES GOOD
OF the 80 passes heayed by the
Arabs, 10 were good. One. a 25-yard
aerial from Peck to Walker in the
third quarter. was good for the sec
ond score of the evening for the
jaySeeS. The first came in the OPEN
ing period when Stan Conkey. full
back, went over from the eight-yard
line. The Arabs had taken the ball
when the Marines had kicked to
their own 45-yard line, three plays
after the initial kickoff.
The Marine score was made in
the last minute of play when Buford
McConath, left half, went over from
/ the one yard line. He previously
had made the only pass completion
IN 16 tries for the Marines to set
up the score.
Several times the Arabs could
probably have added to their point

his second or third Stringers when
on the foes doorstep.
Peck did most of the running with
the ball when he was in the game.
