scored on three drives of 70
yards, one 75-yard drive and
two advances of 37 and 38
vards to touchdowns as the
Red team scored a 24-12 win
over the Whites.
The two short touchdown
drives were set up by pass
interceptions.
Masker Coach Bill Jennings
said he was satisfied with
the progress of his s q u a d,
but added that they had a lot

running game looked ukc
Even though trying to em

18 of them with seven inter
