Intercepted Passes Aid Patton Juniors To Win on Monday Two intercepted passes kept Patton JV’s out ahead to defeat Cherry Tree juniors to the tune of 19-0 in a gace played Monday on the Patton Athletic Field. Patton kicked off to Cherry | Tree, but early in the quarter Dick Lowes, running off tackle, galloped triumphantly 80 yards to pay dirt. A line plunge by E. | Jenkins was stopped and the score stood at 6-0. A few plays later, Paul Hoover {intercepted a Cherry Tree pass |and with a beautiful 50-yard run | | gave Patton six more points. Tom | returned from Rome, where his | election took place, in time to at- | Swab plunged through center for score | wes 13-0. In the second | Tree netted three first downs but | Patton's line held and the half |ended with the same score. | In the third stanza neither of (the elevens threatened, the ball | resting throughout the period in the territory of the team in pos- session. Early in the fourth frame, an- other Cherry Tree pass -was in- tercepted by Patton. This time it was Dick Gresko who did the honors and who ran 50 yards to tally once more for the home team. A plunge through the line was no good and the score was 19-0 Late in the last quarter Cherry Tree made a decisive threat, the only one of the game. With the ball resting almost on the goal line and four downs to take it over, Cherry Tree saw a certain scoring opportunity fade into nothingness as Patton’s line held and threw them for a loss, and again took over. One of the highlights of the game was a beautiful 80-yard punt by Paul Hoover. First downs favored the visitors, 9-7. Patton JV Cherry Tree JV LE—P. Hoover . or . Baker LT—T. Stoy .. Yoke LG—Fisher .
