Most of the rest of the first quarter was played in Walkerton territory after Knox moved to midfield and punted. Play was pn tt y even until Walkerton was pushed well back towards their goal when 13 yard line, picking up three they got the ball in the second quarter. Terry Lute then fired a long pass to Tim Gardi m for a 53 yard gain, giving th» Indians the ball first and 10 on the. Knox 31 From here the Indians weren’t able to move and the half ended 7-0. As the second half started, Tom Kltncdinst took the Knox kick on the Walkerton 17 yard line, started to his right, cut back to the middle and veered to the right at about the 40 and outran the defense for an exciting 83 yard kickoff return. The Indians then completed the extra point as Lute tossed again to Klinedinst. tying the score at 7-7. After Knox was unable to move very far. they punted to Walkerton who looked like they had a drive underway until a needless holding penalty pushed them back inaide the 20 yard line for second and long yardage instead of first and ten from the 43. Walkerton was forced to pur.t from the fifteen and Lute got a kick that was fielded by Alvin Moms on the Walkerton 45 and he raced down the sideline 45 yards for the score with at least two Walkerton tacklers missing good phots at him. He then carried the extra point in on a run, making the score 14-7. Knox then kicked an inside

kick and recovered, again taking an opportunity from the. Indiana as the kick was not intentional, but just a bad kick. Neither team could get a drive going that penetrated deep until late in the game when the Indians were to the do or die stages on fourth the do or die stages on fourth downs and let the ball go ovei on downs instead of punting. Knox got their final touchdown on the next to last play of the game after gaining tire ball deep in Walkerton territory when the Indians failed to get the first down Norm carried this one in from the 16 yard line, moving around the left sid■ of the Knox line for the score. This put the game on ice with just seconds left to play. They missed th-' try for the point after u but had only time to ki k-off before the game ende<L Tiw Indians led in the statistics, but again their failure to get a drive moving hurt tremendously. Also as has been the case in many games, the long play against them hurt as the pursuit and tackling haven't been very sure. As has been the case many times, the. Indians play very strong for a good portion of the game, but fall to the lapses in offeree ruid defense Scoring: Knox: Clyde Norm. 36 yard run; kick failed Walkerton; Tom Klinedinst, 87 yard nm with kickoff; PAT.
