first down on the Philo 40, Mil
ligan racked up seven to the
33, but Dave Ferguson's first
down on the 30 was nullified by
l5-yard holding penalty moving
the ball back to the 46. Quarter
back Bob Devolld was dropped
for an eight-yard loss, then after
an incomplete pass to Milligan,
Devolld dropped back into punt
formation. When a tumble on the
snap prevented the punt, De-
volld ran for Is yards before
being doWned on the Philo 80
where the Electrics took over
on downs.
On their very first scrimmage
| play, the Electrics threw the
switch on halfback Dave Mason,
who swept wide around Cald-
wells right end and sprinted 81
yards to touchdown without
being touched. A pitchout to
| Dave Seyerle around the same
end added the first of two all
important points and Philo led
TO.
Failing to pick up necessary
yardage to retain possession of
the ball, Caldwell punted to the
Philo 81 on the next series. The
Electrics, using a questionable
"shift-and-fake" play to draw
Caldwell offsides, moved steadily
doWnfield on the strength of
MaSon'S two runs of % and 10
yards. They reached the Redskin
nine as the quarter ended.
Second Quarter
On the first play of the second
period, Philo fumbled and Ron
Priest recovered on the Caldwell
eight. However, after working
the ball upheld out of danger,
a penalty moved Caldwell back
to the five, where Devolld
punted out to midfield.
The Redskin defensive unit put
| up stiff resistance here in the
second quarter to take over the
ball on downs on CaldWelPs "a
| with four minutes left in the
first half.
A drive of 66 yards on six
plays produced CaldWelPs first
touchdown as Ron Priest bulled
! his way AZ yards for the longest
| Redskin run of the year before
being doWned on the Philo three
With halfbacks Milligan and
Ferguson nursing leg injuries,
Priest became the team work
horse, hitting the line twice to
go over for the score. A Philo
defender broke through to spill
| Devolld before he could hand off
the ball on try for point and
Caldwell trailed 7-6 at halftime.
Third Quarter
| Following a fine halftime per-
| formance by the Philo and Cald-
we'll bands, the two teams went
at it again with the Electrics
wasting little time in adding
| their second touchdown.
| Mason took Priests kickoff on
his own 13 and returned it %
yards to the 35 before being
dumped hard by Priest. After
one running play lost two yards,
Mason took off for 10 yards tc
Caldwell's 48. A pass from Dali
ton to Elliott made Il to the SO
McHenry gained one, then Mason
squirmed 35 yards to a touch
down going over, around anc
through anyone and everyone as
he bumped into practically every
member of both teams. Seyerle
took the pitchout and skirted END
for the extra point and 14-t
lead.
| Caldwell roared back with 6
similar march of II yards to hit
pay dirt once more featuring
the hard running of fullback
Priest. Devolld's short gains ano
two passes to Don Cunningham
for a total of 80 yards helped
move the ball into scoring posi-
ton, where Devolld went into
the end zone on a sneak from
the one. Milligan's attempted
placement was wide leaving the
score 14-12.
Philo fumbled the ensuing
kickoff and Ferguson recovered
on Philos 48 to set up CaldWell's s
final chance OF Snatchlng victory
Fourth Quarter
Devolld lofted a fine pass to
Ferguson good for % yards to
the Philo 20 and a first down
Priest hit the line for two yards
and Milligan three to the Is
then Priest after making first
down fumbled the ball and Har-
vey Hivnor recovered on the
Philo 13.
Philo failed to make threat
on this series and punted out to
Caldwell's 35.
The Redskins drove to Philo's
80 as Devolld hit Ferguson fo1
a 26-yard pass but the Electrics
held for downs. A few plays
later Tom Robertson pounced or
Philo bobble on the Electrics
Al, and when Caldwells passing
went hay-wire, the visitors got
final possession on their own
Sc.
