Garfield had just completed a drive to their own 20 when endtackle Robert New burst through the line and partially blocked their kick. When the ball hit it was laying on the Cub 48. See carried and got two yards and made it second and eight. Then with 5:42 on the clock, quarterback Pete Norris handed off to Frye on a sweep to the left and Frye bolted from the forty-seven into the end zone. Norris booted the extra point and the Cubs led 7-0. Penalties and fumbles stopped both teams during the early minutes of the second quarter until end-tackle Robert New plunged onto the ball fumbled by Garfield halfback John Conner on the Cub 44. See and Frye combined to carry the ball to the 40 and a third and six situation. Norris kept the ball on the next play and fought his way clear to the 32 for a first down. Frye was next with a jolt to the 24 where See took the ball and made good for a touchdown. Norris made the extra effort good once again and Greencastle held a 14-0 command. The Cubs almost struck again when Norris booted the ball over sixty yards into the Purple Eagles end zone and halfback John Freed fumbled. Robert New was on the spot and pounced on the pigskin and the Cubs were on top of a TD once more if it hadn’t have been for t w o successive flag plays where they were penalized fifteen yards each time. Confronted with a third and 24 situation on the 48 yard line Norris tried to drop a bomb to one of his teammates but Garfield’s Steve Bonham intercepted the fling on the 20 and gave the Purple Eagles their only real start of the contest. Garfield quarterback Robin Skitt hit on a twenty-seven yard pass on the next play smd fullback John Freed ran the ball to the Tiger Cub 35. Skitt chucked another one to Freed just inside the five yard line and fullback Roger McDonald slipped into the end zone on his second try. The extra point was missed and Garfield had scored their only time. Tiger Cub quarterback Pete Norris was injured on the next play when he hit solidly with another player and snapped his neck. Frye piloted the team through the entire second half driving to the Garfield 20-yard i line in the third stanza and to the 3 with 3:30 remaining in the contest. Frye made the last run himself when he zipped 38 yards to what was a touchdown until an official ruled he had stepped out-of-bounds on about the
twenty.
The Cubs will tackle Plainfield on the local turf Friday i night in a non-conference battle at 8:00 p. m.
