The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1954-01-21

afternoon, provided not only athrfll
a minute, but also came up with
some of the greatest defensive plays
1 have ever seen on a gridiron.
Some idea of the terrific tackling
and charging can be gained by the
fact that, at the end of the half, the
score was 80 - field goal by
Groza for the East and a safety for
the West.
Frankly, 1 was hoping that the
game would end that way, for that
really would have been a record that
would last for year and years. But in
the second half, an intercepted pass,
a Is yard run and Groza's second
field goal, put the game on ice for
the East.
The West scored a touchdown in
the fourth quarter to make the final
score 20-9.
