Big Crowd Sees Whites Win In Last Scrimmage
The Whites defeated the Reds 13-12 in the final spring football workout Thursday.
The Whites scored the first touchdown soon after the game started. Frank Patee covered 25 yards taking the ball from the 50 to the Red 25. He alternated with Moffit in carrying the ball to the Red 8. From this point Scott. White quarterback, threw a short pass to McDonald who stepped over the goal Scott's try for the extra point was blocked.
Foster Runs 50 Yards
Foster provided the fans with the longest run of the game when he carried the ball from the Red 35 to the White 15, a total of 50 yards. Evans carried around his own left end to the 6, but the White line stiffened and Marvin Small threw Mester back to the White 35 on the next play. The Reds lost the ball on downs.
Scott let Bray's center get past him and the ball rolled into the end zone. Johnson recovered the ball after it had squeezed out of a pile-up. Evans attempted the extra point, but his kick was no good.
Once again Scott passed the White team into the lead. The former Kilgore (Texas) Junior college star threw to Moffit for 15 to put the ball on the Red 30. Two running plays went for nothing, but Scott outfaked two tacklers and hit McDonald with a pass to the flat. The shifty McDonald reversed his field and scored without being touched. Scott converted for the Whites and they led 13-6.
Evans Scores For Reds
Foster, Baker, and Evans made some good gains for the Reds and Mester hit Baker with a pass good for 15 yards to place the ball on the White 19. Evans went around his teammate and took touchdown. Evans failed to convert and both starting teams were replaced, the Whites leading 13-12.
For the next half hour the game was one of strong defenses. Neither team was able to dent the opponent's line for any scoring threats, but Arnold Strickler peeled off a 25 yard jaint for the White team just before Coach Sauer halted proceedings for the spring.
