The Lions unleashed a hard runnlng game that netted the 63 yards In just seven plays with Ron Zents carrying once for 14 and again for 33 for the score. Ken Baker kicked the extra point and with just about half t' quarter gone the visitors led 7-0. Action stayed pretty even for the next three poeneasions of the bail until Bremen took over from Glenn on downs at the Bremen 21 with just seconds left in the first period. They started anoth. er drive from this point and a 10 play, 79 yard march, all on the ground, ended with the quarterback Baker sneaking in -from the one. He also kicked the point and It was 14-0, the score that held up until halftime. The second half was a differ, ent tall game. The Falcons had a disadvantage right off the bat when a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct call for failing to come back in time forced them to kick from their own 25. However, a Bremen fumble was pounced on by BUI Rhodes and Glenn put it in play from the 15. Right away Mike Flaugher hit Tom Hall and the pass play netted 31 to get the drive going. Gordon Hartnell carried for 9 and a Flaugher to Tom Boise pam got another first down.

After a two yard rush by Boise and an Incomplete pass, Leonard Jeske took the ball in from 4 yards out to put Glenn on the board. Flaugher then ran for two points and It was Bremen leading the Falcons 144 with 6:26 left in the third quarter. / The momenteum switch to the Falcons suae obvious. After a long kickoff by Paul Groves and good coverage, the Lions startfS from their own 16 only to fumble on third down and Bob Colin caught the loose ball in mid air, returning about three yards to the 19 yard line. Hartsell crashed through his own left side for 13, down to the 6 for another first and goal.

Jaske crashed in for the extra points to push the Falcons to a 16-14 lead with 2:47 left in the third period. The Falcons started another drive after holding the Lions as they had a lot of help on a fumtled punt, a pass interference call and running plays but had to punt as they were stopped after moving some 53 yards from their own 5. Bremen was unable to sustain a drive and punted back to Glenn who now could run the clock down with a few first downs. After a 15 yard unsports, manlike conduct call on Bremen the Falcons were in Bremen territory but a fumble followed on the next play and Chris Fox re. covered for Bremen on their own 31. On the first play Baker fired a short pass to Gary Leeper that was off his bands, almost picked off by a Falcon defender, but recovered before it hit the ground by Leeper who then raced a total of 44 yards with the ball before being thrown out of bounds. The next play found Baker hitting Fox for 19 more and a first and goal from the Falcon 6. It took three plays before Mark Taylor fought his way into the end zone with 2:19 left, pushing the Lions to a lead they never lost. The Falcons had the misfor. tune of a bouncing, roiling kick roiling to the 4 where they had to put it in play. Despite four peso completions and two first downs, they had one 11 yard sack and possession was lost, letting the Lions run out the clock for the win. Bremen only completed those two crucial passes all night tut behind a 22 carry, 132 yard per. formance by Zents on the ground was their strongpoint. The Fai. cons, running out of a wishbone offense, had no big ground giinera splitting up their yards pretty good. However, Flaugher hit 9 of 9, had a couple more dropped and wound up with 144 yrnds passing, with Hall having six receptions.
