The Leopards finally broke the ice with just seconds before the third period ended as Jay Nawrocki scampered across the Falcon goal line on a 25-yard run. This followed a punt return to the 25 ax the teams had been battling back and forth. However, the Falcons then came to life and sustained thuir drive for the TD.

pass on their own 40 as^Vedfew was again the man of the h<A>r With the interception. With Short time remaining after failing to get a first down, a punt to the LaLumiere 30 gave them the ball with only time for two plays. A couple of runs didn’t begin to get the yardage needed as the gun sounded at the end of the game. Neither team could escape their own territory early in the game until a Falcon punt return put the ball on the Leopard 28. However. in four plays, yardage was lost and the threat ended before it really began. Twice m the game, LaLumiere was hurt by penalties, once nulifying a fine gain by Nawrocki and the other a costly violation that cost the first try at the extra point. After the five yards were assesed, the try was no good, leaving the Leopards vulnerable for the John Glenn TD and extra point.

One encouraging sign for the Falcons was the improved play of the ends in this game, tightening up spots that had been weak on many occasions. Gary Trost was the leading tackler with 11 for the Falcons.
