points in the second quarter, but
after the intermission, the Tom
cats came back to halt Cald-
wells ground attack and force
the Redskins to take to the air
This proved to be Caldwell's
downfall as Glouster intercepted
every pass attempted by the
Redskins in the second half (4,
and five in a row counting the
last one before halftime. In fact
two of the Tomcats touchdowns
came as the climax of intercept
ed passes. All in all, Caldwell at
tempted 10 passes, completing
two for a huge total of IS yards,
missing three and having five
intercepted.
Glouster, on the other hand,
attempted seven passes with only
one completion of 10 yards, this
being the result of pass interfer-
ence.
On the ground, the Tomcats
outgained the Redskins 274 yards
to 1875 as their speedy and de-
ceptive backfield, behind good
blocking and strong forward
wall, averaged almost six yards
every time they carried the ball.
Lloyd Dugan, 180-pound sopho-
more fullback, sparked the Tom
cats with two of the touchdowns,
and is at present battling for top
scoring honors in the league.
The first quarter of the game
was more or less of a punting
duel, Glouster being forced to
kick three times and Caldwell
twice, but the Tomcats managed
to pick up a little yardage on
punts returns while the Red
skins failed to gain a yard on
five puntS during the entire
I game.
Caldwell, however, threatened
first just before the opening
quarter ended. Beginning a ser
les of plays on their own "a,
Ronnie Reed picked up three
yards before Bill Christopher
shot a pass to Dick Crum that
carried AZ yards. Crum was fin
ally hauled down on GlouSter's
31-yard line, where Buddy Wy
coff on two line bucks went to
the rs as the quarter ended 90.
In the second period, Caldwell
made a first down on the 81 but
here Glouster's line stiffened
and the Redskins were halted on
the IL, final pass from Bill
Christopher to Karl Stritz fall
ing incomplete.
| GlouSter couldn't seem to get
moving with Lloyd Dugan sitting
out the rest of the first half, af-
ter being shaken up on the pre-
vious series of plays. The Tom
cats punted but the poor kick
went out of bounds on their own
46.
Here Caldwell punched over
the first score of the game,
marching 46 yards to the goal,
mainly on a 43-yard pass from
AL Christopher to Bill Chris
tOpher that went to the two
yard line. On two jabs at the
line, Bill went over and AL
kicked the point that gave the
Redskins 10 lead.
| This seemed to fire up the
lTomcats, who took the kickoff
on their own five and drove to
lCaldwelTS 33 where a tumble
was recovered by "Foozy" Cald-
well to stop the threat tempor-
arily.
With less than two minutes
left until halftime, the Redskins
ran two plays that gained four
yards, then came up with the
break that gave Glouster their
first score. Rather than punt and
take a chance on holding Glous-
ter until halftime, the Redskins
passed down the middle with
Captain Johnson intercepting on
the so and barely being downed
on the Caldwell %
Two plays failed to gain a
yard SO the Tomcats pulled a
bootleg" fake reverse that
completely fooled the Red
skins. While three backs head
ed around the right side of
CaldwelPs line, Harold Dugan
unescorted and holding the
ball down beside his leg, took
off around the left end and
went % yards to score just as
the game ended. johnson
crashed over for the extra
point and a thrilling ~ half
time score.
In the third quarter, the Red
skins took the opening kickoff,
and although making two first
downs, were forced to punt with
Glouster returning the ball to
midfield
Six plays later, the TOmcats,
on ground attack only, hit pay
dirt again. Lloyd Dugan, who
had come back into the game,
went the final five yards
around his own right end to
score, but his efforts to plunge
! for the point fell short. GIOuS-
