FALCONS EDGE SHAMROCKS BY 20-14 SCORE The annual John G'enn - Nor»h Liberty meeting in football was held Friday night and as is us. ually the case in recent years, it was a hard head.knoeking game decided by a small margin. The final score was Glenn 20. Shamrocks 14. in a game that the Faicons dominated early and then held on to win by the one touchdown margin. The victory was the Falcons’ third in six starts and their first Northern State Conference win in three decisions while the Shamrocks suffered de. feat number four in six tries and are winless in two conference games.

Flaugher threw a pass into a crowd and a deflected ball was grabbed by Jack O'Connor who raced back SO yards to the Falcon 22 to start a series of downs.

On this effort, their lad offensive opportumty of the first halt, the Green and White got their List two first downs of the night. However they were forced to punt and Glenn killed the clock. It didn’t take long for the fire, works to start in a four touch, down second half that had plenty of thrills for both teams. After not fielding the kickoff cleanly, the Falcons went to work on their own 7. After one no gainer, a s.mple straight a) ad play by Flaugher desiring to get a little operating rcom, did just that . . . 93 yards in all as he found a ly le and won the foot race to the Shamrock goal line. This time Hart-ell made it into the en i zone for two points and a quick 1:14 had expired and Glenn had scored .n the second half. This was Just the start of th? action. A bouncing kick was killed on their own 37 and the Shamrocks displayed a moie potent offense and started a drive of their own. Using both the ground and air.ways, they moved 63 yards in 11 plays with Rick Hamilton hitting three passes in the drive for 33 yards including the final 12 yards of real estate to O’Connor for the score. Bob Shipley a big 27 vard gainer in the drive also to balance out the attack. From a fake kicking formation. Hamilton hot-footed it in for two points and with 5:26 left in quarter number three, it was tight at 14-8. , , Glenn controlled the ball for two series of downs thanks to a Shamrock fumbe on a punt as Leonard Jaske recovered the loose ball. However, they turned the ball over on a punt which led to the next break and score. The Shamrocks, after gaining one first down deep in their own territory, were forced to punt and the outstanding punting of Stull was dimmed by a snap not handled well and a resulting four yard punt gave Glenn the tall first and 10 on the Shamrock 30. It took two plays, a 24 yard run bv Flaueher. a North Liberty personal foul, and then three yards to pay d.rt for Flaugher’s third score of the game. A run was short for two. but now into the fourth quarter, the Falcons held a 20-8 lead with 11:38 to p’ay. The short punts balanced themselves out later in the final stanza as the Shamrocks first moved

I the ball into Facon territory omy to lose it on downs at Glenn’s 34. : However, unable to sustain any d.ive, Paul Groves fielded a very bad snap and after evading two wc u’.d-be-tackk rs, got a punt off from way behind, hi- l.ne of scrimmage and the Shamrocks got the ball on the Glenn 49. A pass in. terfen nee penalty and then an 8 yard completion with a face mask call on top of it, made it first and 10 on the Falcon 14. It took just one play for Shipley to spring free on the right side and run unharmed into the end zone cutting the lead to 20-14. It re. mamed that way as the kick was just wide. After an attempted onside kick, the Falcons were able to kill the last 3:12 on the ground with the aid of one North Liberty personal foul call. Flaugher’s performance rewrote some John Glenn records. 194 yard* rushing in one game, the longest run from scrimmage, 93 yards, he also t.ed Tom Hall’s 50 points scored of last year with his three scores, three touchdowns m cne game, and the 339 yards rushing was a team record for one game.
