sorry note with Rochester's Dave Fall driving straight ahead two yards for another score, making the score 20-0, In the first play of the fourth quarter the Warriors put it all together, Tim Blue connected on a sideline pass to Bill Leemon, in one swift motion. Bill turned on the speed and outran everybody 65 yards for Wawasee's one and only touchdown of the evening. On the extra point attempt Tim Blue hit Tom Fribley for two more points, making the score 208 In the remaining of the fourth quarter, Rochester’s Jim Swank and teammate Jim Werner accounted for 24 points with the game ending 44-8 in the extremely powerful Rochester’s favor.
