•passing and punting Starting early
in the second period, Riola took to
the air, and wax never halted until
he had successfully paused the Kit

punting was probably the highlight
of the game as he repeatedly kicked
out of bounds virtually at the
Christians' goal line.

I. T. Jumes accounted for the
other Kaglc score by toeing the
ball from placement with a 20-yard
kick after RiolaV pass to Forrest
Covin had carried the hall to strik

Late in the first quarter, James
took a Wildcat punt deep in his
own territory and wormed his way

Riola passed to Taylor to put the
ball on the Christians' 3fi James,
on an off-tackle play, sliced through
the line for 18 yards, as the quar-

his first pass being snared by
, Pnyne, who carried the ball to the
A. C. C. seven-yard line. Riola then
passed to McDaniel, across the
geal line for the marker.
Covin Makes Gain
Late in the third quarter, Riola
tossed a 40-yard puss to Covin, who
* carried the leather to the Wild
cats' own 10-yard line before he
was downed. After three attempts
at the Christians' forward wall,
James dropped back and booted
the ball between the uprights tor
