defensive play kept the Engineers
from upsetting the Middies.
Ohio State lost to Northwestern,
but in the opinion of Buckeye Coach

We were touchdown bound when he
did this"

lick the Bears in their scheduled
November 7 meeting and both teams

From the Redskin viewpoint the

compared with the $4,000 individual

of the playoff purse, have an added
incentive to maintain their un-
beaten, united status. For half a

seemed the same bone e-crushing
team that overwhelmed the Pack

bring home the bacon and the nice
slice of dough that could go to

They were dream team against

They were something less against

its toughness. "A well-coached
