Pincavage For TD

The Alumni then took over the
ball and drove for their first
touchdown with John Pincavage
taking a Kemp pass for an
eight-yard touchdown play. A
two-point conversion by Dave
Wyncoop gave the Alumni an 8-7
lead.

Frank Quayle led another
Alumni drive early in the second
quarter, finally blasting in from
three for the score. Braxton Hill
converted to make it 15-7.

Defense again came through for
the Varsity, as Bill Kettunen picked
off a Rich Sterba pass to go 56
yards for the score. A two-point
pass from Davis to Helman evened
the game at 15-15.

Chuck Belic picked off another
Alumni pass late in the first half,
returning it from the Alumni 33 to
the 17 to set up the next Varsity
score. The finale came on a
three-yard pitch to Jim Lacey.
Maxwell's foot made it 22-15 at the
half.

Troup took over the attack at
the start of the second half, and the
Varsity offense proceeded to make
its first and only controlled drive of
the day. Merritt led the drive,
capping it with his 37-yard sprint
around left end which left a trail of
Alumni bodies in its wake.

The Varsity at that point
appeared in firm control, but that
appearance soon faded, as Quayle
burst off left tackle for 36 yards
and a touchdown late in the third
quarter. The two-point try failed,
and the score remained 29-21.

Kemp scored the last Alumni
TD early in the final quarter on a
three-yard run, but the Varsity
ganged up to stop Quayle on the
extra point play and maintained a
shaky three-point lead that held up
until the end.

The Varsity got as close as the
15-yard line in the final period, but
could not score again. The game
finished with the Varsity hanging
on for its life. Interceptions by Rob
Gustafson and Bob McGrail
stopped Alumni bids late in the
game and insured the win.

Mr. Lawrence expressed
disappointment in his team's
performance after the game, but
noted that the team has had only
15 days of practice, and that the
new offensive design has not been
completely learned.
