gie A team, walked off Kyle Field
Wednesday afternoon as cham
pions of the winter footbell round
robin tournament by winning from
the Green Bpy Packers, B team,
21-7. As the Washington Redskins,
C team won, 18 0, from the Chi
cago Bears, D squad, the leairu
closed in an alphabetical finish —
A, B, C, D in the order named.
Twice the Giants made marches
the length of the field after re-
ceving the kickoff to score touch
downs. Jim Thomason returned the
first one for about 40 yards and
John Kimbrough ran hack with the
second one for 50 yards before be
was taken by three tacklers, in
cluding Euel Wesson and Boh Hal,
weighing a total of 475 pounds
The third score came when
Packer punt was blocked and Jot
Boyd, Giant tackle recovered while
the hall was in the sir. He stepped
across from the 8-yard line. Price
converted all extra points to keep
his tournament record clean. In
all attempts so far Price has never
failed to kick the extra point
In tha first march Price com
pleted a pass to Herb Smith that
was good for 25 yards and barely
missed being a touchdown but
Smitty was downed on the 5-yard
park. Three plays later Price
started wide at rigid end but cut
back and scored over tackle.
The second parade began with
Kimbrough’s 50-yard return to the
Packer 47. End sweepe and line
plunges during the advance in
cluded: Moaer, 7; Price 1; Kim
brough 4; Price 3; Kimbrough 11;
Thomason 9; Kimbrough 1; Price
0; Price 4; and then Kimbrough
went the rest of the way sliding
about six feet on his chest after
he lit behind the goal line.
Marshall Spivey pulled the
smartest play of the afternoon
when he crossed top everyone hut
himself and scored from the Giant
27. He took the hall on a spinner
and as the team swept to the left
on a wide run, he pivoted and went
to the right and down along the
sidelines for a touchdown, com
pletely fooling Thomaaon and
Moaer who were too far off bal
ance wlpn they discovered the de
ception. Hall kiriMl the extra
point.
The game ended just after the
Packers had held the Giants for
downs on the six-inch line.
Norton will pick his players
from this game aad stags tbs grid
battle with them against the rest
of the squad Saturday as the main
feature of the annual Sports Day
program.
