stubborn Eagle defense.
Atkeson got 81 yards on two
tries before leaving the game
and zagers added 20 on sever
trips. All turned in an honest

the second period opened, Jano-
Wicz tried q 29-yard field goal
that was q foot wide and the
Eagles took over on their own

Wegert. their highly touted
rookie, was hit hard by Brito
and fumbled. Barni recovered
