Falcons Drop Fourth Game Friday 7-0 A battle of winless football teams resulted in a 7-0 win for Rolling Prarie over John Glenn Friday night as the two teams battled it out in the Glenn Homecoming game. A touchdown drive covering 52 yards in six plays resulted in a score by Jim Schroe Jer on a 26 yard pass from all the scoring in the game that basically featured defense. The failure of Glenn to move the hall on offense was the difference between a win in this game and the loss they suffered. For the entire ball game, the Falcons netted a total of -3 yards on the ground. In 28 plays on the ground, a total of nine of these resulted in loses, mainly smearing the quarterbacks in passing situations. At halftime, the Falcons had a gain of 42 yards, but in 10 ground plays in the secon ’ half, seven were for loss and one more seven were for The only ones that moved the ball were for one and two yards respectively. Until this game, the Falcons’ quarterbacks basically had time to passs but six different times in the contest, they Were smeared and on others threw under great pressure. Until some combination of an offensive line can give the backs some running room and some offensive blocking. the Falcons aren t going to be moving the ball. The line has proven thia ability at various times during the season, but Friday night couldn’t have held out the Girl’s Athletic Association thirl string line. •R* Statistics jjp 3 First Downs 11 3 Rushing 127 27 Passing 71 12 Passes Att. 16 3 Passes Comp. 6 3 Intercepted By 1 3 Punts ] 19.5 Avg Yards 27 43 Return Yards 57 1 Fumbles Lose 57 1 Fumbles Lost 0 20 Penalties 50 Rolling l*rarie kicked off and after returning the ball to the 38 yard line, the Falcons went to work.
