The Golden Gophers of Summer
field built up a substantial lead in
their game with Marietta st. Mary's
last Friday night and held off a
fourth quarter rally by the Irish to
win 37-35.
Bill Hanes, subbing at center for
Captain Leasure, came through with
IL points, to pace the attack, for
Summerfield while Eide of Marietta

Summerfield held the Irish to
only eight points in the first half,

lead in the exciting moments of the
final quarter.
In the preliminary, Summerfield
reserves were victorious, 54-16.
