Knox Edges Falcons Friday In Overtime The John Glenn Falcons and Knox bumped head to head in what appeared to be a well matched game Friday and that it was. After 48 minutes of exciting, sometime very loosely play, ed, action, the two teams were knotted 14 all. In high school football now, the games cannot end in a tie and the first such sudden death for both teams had Knox coming out on top 22-14. It left both teams with a 2-7 record. This game had several “differ, ent” features ranging from brill, iant plays to a real wierd call ty the officials. Despite being a tongue in cheek person about of. ficiating due to the fact they are human and do make mistakes, a call, which did seriously go against Glenn was made that had a direct bearing on the outcome and was (inexcusable for the big dolay and discussion before a decision was made.

The ball changed hands on a punt, a Knox fumble and then another Falcon fumble after penatrating deep in Knox territory to the 6 where Bruce Hagen's recovery g ive Knox possession. From this de* p point, they started a drive that featured four runs of 12 to 19 yards, a Glenn personal foul and the game's first score as Ron Bailey luged the ball in from the 12 for the score. A pass, Doug Small to Jeff Lockridge, made it 8-0 with 8:57 left in the first half. Glenn then put the tall in play at their own 40 after the kickoff went out of bounds. 10 plays, 6 rushing and four passing with 2 being complete, chewed up the yardage with the aid of three Knox penalties, one a big pass interference. The score was on a pass from Mike Flaugher to Tom Hall and on the extra point a swing pass Flaugher to Bob Wilson tied the score at 8 all and 4:13 remained in the half. This set the stage for the big discussion that cost Glenn an excellent chance for another TD. A Knox offensive situation was set up by the kick on which good coverage stopped the Redskins at their own 25 After an illegal pi-ocedure call cost Knox 5, Small carried for one yard and on second down Bailey got 4. making it third and 10 from the 25. A pass play found Small rolling to his right, getting caught, he dropped the ball which Bill Groves pickeil up and raced to the Knox 2 yard line .where he was thrown out of bounds. After considerable discussion on the part of the offic. tals, the Knox coaches and finally Glenn’s coach, the ruling was the ball had been whistled dead, a (Continued on Page 3)
