up, Western could not gain con-
sistently and Sta cut off mild
Raider rally in the final minutes

The big Rambler line played
aggressive ball all afternoon and
except for the one Western march,
kept the Raiders running attack
In check while it opened up big
holes for the Eastern backs. Poor
pass defense and sloppy tackling
hurt Westerns defense while the
loss of Weinstein and the absence
of Dale Larsen, shifty halfback
who was injured last week, put
the offensive burden on Day.
harsh. He played we'll but could
not overcome the superior Eastern
defense.
