Typical of the action was this play in which quarterback Jack Reece took the snap from center and prepared to hand off.

SI S'iSS's' JlUuti. %eH By JOHN BASKIN CHRISTIANS VS. LIONS . . ? We, too, like to dip our fingers into the editorial pie but unlike many others, abstain from calling boxing a pseudo-sport. There is nothing false about a solid punch between the eyes. This was evidenced by the welterweight ^ampionship fight between EMILE GRIFFITH and BENNY PARET. But it is unfortunate that it takes this one incident to conjur up visions of the Roman Coliseum and Christians being thrown to famished lions. Boxing has a good start toward being banned or so confined as to lose its public appeal. The public conscience is crying for this now, largely because of the Kid Paret mishap. They say that fighters should be better protected. They yell that although athletes run a constant risk of being hurt, boxing is the only sport where this is the primary objective of the participants. But these protests are familiar, and someday they may prevail. And justly so in one sense. The “square jungle” could get along very well without the management of its underworld sponsors, unscrupulous managers and other money-grabbing mercenaries who leave the battered pugalist with little more than a clean towel and a face resembling a nose-dive into a granite pit. Perhaps, several hundred years from now, assuming that there will be somebody left several hundred years from now, when the manly art of fistcuffs has descended to a settlement of grade-school debates, oiu: descendants may look back in evident distaste at our sport of boxing, not so much at the warriors, but at the sponsors and the people who paid good money to see men destroy them selves.

The Virgins roared back from a first half deficit to coast to an easy 8-point victory led by the all-round ability of agile Steve Michaels, who grabbed 15 points and was closely followed by team mates Terry Furr with 12 and Larry Honeycutt with 11. Virgin Caleb Goodman was high with 17. Ken Pearce ended with 19, Larry Bruce with 12 and Lou Hill with 11 for the Raiders.
