Cadet 5-yard line, and g moment
later Wells took the ball over

little time in adding to their
score. White took Blanchard's
kickoff and returned it IL yards
to the Cadet 80. On the next play
Buras broke loose around right
end and raced SO yards for the
third Cadet score and White
kicked for the extra point.
A frightened Tiger defense took
to the field for the third quarter
led by Dick Dickson at tackle
and completely bottled up White
and Buras for the rest of the
game while a smoothly clicking
aerial and ground offensive,
built around Don Blanchard and
Gene Stauter at ends, with Yer
non Wells and Jack Fields doing
the bulk of the ball carrying, got
to work.

for the extra point was good.

ON the midfield stripe who re-
turned it 5 yards to the Ca
Diet as. Following a couple of

over the line to Blanchard who
carried it to the Cadet ID before
being downed. Stauter picked
up six yards on a reverse and
another pass, Wells to Pierce,
gave the Tigers first down on
the 9-yard line. A short pass
from Wells to Blanchard was
good and placed the ball on the
Cadet 5. Wells picked UP two
yards at tackle, and followed
with another short pass to Blan-
chard over center which was
good for the final score.
