Oren Helvey, Tommy Norton, Cot
ton Games and Skelton blasted
their way to the nine where Skelton
took it over. Carnes’ extra-point
kick was good to make it 7-0.
ROY MILLEN took Webber’s
short boot on the ensuing kickoff
and returned to his own 41. From
this point the Maroons put together
their most serious scoring threat
of the day, marching all the way
to the White 4-yard stripe. Smith
and Channing Williams, second
ranking ball carrier for the Ma
roons with 28 yards, led the surge
on the ground.
B-Fields’ Glen Rand directed the

went over. The half ended with the

Webber and big Louis Frank,

Charlie Ritchey came in to direct
the White attack on its 31-yard
touchdown drive, and scored from
5 yards out eight plays later.
Skelton chewed up 19 yards in the
goalward march. Carnes’ conver

TACKLE JOHN Jo nes recovered
another Maroon fumble seconds lat

however, and Carroll Hungerford
punted a 48-yarder that pushed the
Maroon back to their 4.
After another exchange of punts,
the White team held onto the ball

TOO LOW AND TOO LATE—The man was clear but the pass was too low as the White
team took to the air in yesterday’s 12th Man Bowl game on Kyle Field. It didn’t mat
