LOHG RUMS PACE JACKET WIN OVER LITTLETON MERE Moseley and Kendrick Lead In Ground Gaining Sparked by Moseley and Ken drick, the Yellow Jackets scored three times here Friday afternoon to overcome Littleton 21 to 6 in the first meeting of the two clubs in a number of years. The teams were fairly evenly matched in size, but the locals took advantage of their experience to make the most of the breaks to lead all the way. Two of the touchdowns came from long runs beginning about midfield, while the third one was secured the hard way. Littleton showed signs of life in the beginning of the second half when Moore, Jones, Thrower and Hale took the ball on the midfield stripe and pushed it over for a touchdown in five plays. The place kick for the conversion went wide. The Jax bogged through the first period. In the second period, Ken drick suddenly found himself in the clear after a line plunge over Littleton's forty-five marker and raced the remaining distance a cross the goal. He received ex cellent blocking from his team mates. Brown made the extra point. In a few minutes, the big full back, Kendrick, again broke loose from about the same spot and dodged his way down to the 8 be fore he was nailed from behind. Brown totôk the ball on the next play and went to the 1. On the next play he was over. Kendrick plunged over for the extra point. Late in the fourth quarter the Jax set up their third touchdown after William Moore, Littleton's fullback, had been put out of the game for slugging and his team penalized fifteen yards. Moseley plunged over from the 6 and Ken drick plunged over for the extra point. Coyt Brown, Jax halfback, was taken from the game in the third quarter suffering from a broken nose. George Jenkins took his place. Brown has been a regular this year. His injury puts two of the starting backs on the bench for practically the remainder of the season. Byrd broke his collar bone in practice last week.
