The winning eleven composed of the regulars completely out classed the reserves, scoring once in -each of the first three .quarters and nearly tallied a fourth touch down in the final period when the game ended with the "ball on the Green one-yard line. Bill Smaltz and Pepper Petrella collaborated on the first touch-j down early in the game, the form er with his kicking and line buck ing and the flashy tail-badfc with: his dazzling open-field running.' Smaltz pushed the Greens into a hole midway in the period by kick-! ing out of hounds on the oppon-! ent’s- five-yard line. Pepper re turned Ralph Ventresco’s punt to ; .the 120 and gained 15 yards on two plays. Smaltz accounted for the six-pointer on a center budk •from the five. The same two stalwarts led the Blues’ march in the second quar-‘ ter for four consecutive first downsj .and another score. The Green team threatened when Ventresco passed, to Len Krouse for (85 yards on the Blue 30-yard marker but the drive, was stopped when Ventresco fum-j •bled And the Blues recovered. At this point the varsity started a 60 yard offensive march when Smaltz passed to Petrella on the right flank sand the latter weaved his way to the Green 40. With the peppery Downingtown flash carry ing the mail, the regulars gained' .22 yards on two running plays around the Tight end, and placed the pigskin on the Green five on a pass from Petrella to Tom Vargo. Pepper zig-zagged bis way through the entire defense for the second touchdown to give the Blues a commanding 12 to -0 lead. Coach Bob Higgins put in nearly two new teams aft the outset of the second half but the second Blue team took up where their predecessors left off. Following an even exchange of plays the Greens lost the ball on their own 20-yard line when Weaver failed to get off a punt on the fourth down. The Blues took advantage of this "unex pected break when Vargo tallied on an end-around run several plays later. The score at the end .of the third quarter stood at 18 to 0. ■The final .period found the var-. sity back in action after their well; earned rest, but the fracas was. completed without any further scoring. i While the high-scoring power of the varsity eleven holds great promise for the future, the offense iwas spotty at times and it was due more to the Individual per- 1 Ten Yeailing Gridders liar) Warm-Up Mis About 10 freshman gridders have-been issued equipment and are running -through light warm-; up (drills although regular practice Will not start until the end of 1 Freshman Week, Coach-Marty Mc- Andrews reported yesterday. i ®e. announced,a meeting for nlli frosh tin Bloom ISS, ■Var- 1 sity Hall, at 4:10 p.m. today.
