thwarted, first by Wayne Elliott
| (Delmar) interception and, finally,
| by the clock.
The Gold had one post-TD OPP
portnnity but II, too, came to1
naueft when an Elliott aerial mis-
! fred at the Blue 40.
/ In q sense it was fitting that |
both clubs were frustrated in their |

the tie.

perience for all concerned in q |
game dominated by the defenses.
The Blues were the nrst to sur
fer. End Tommy Harrison (Salesi-

chance to strike early In the first
quarter. Harrison, crashing from
right end, blocked Carl Rice
(NewarD punt at the Gold Is.

Bob Hoffman's southerners They
had stopped the Blue ground at

Blues had cause for chagrin az the
stubborn Gold defense foiled an
other excellent scoring chance.

punt return, was recovered by Blue

split-T formation, came close to
score on down-the-middle passes

and Emerson but Lambert's fail

coverage of Emerson on the sec

The running of halfback Mike

atty gave the Gold its first offensive
opportunity in the closing moments
of the half but the Blue defense
in general and quarterback Johnny
Mullis (TOWer HID in particular
were equal to the challenge. Mullis
twice broke up passes from Rice to
Brown In the end zone, giving the
Gold a taste of it's own defensive
medicine.
The Blue finally put points on
the scoreboard early in the third
