on the Island last Friday
night, the Marshall Tornadoes
defeated the Cane Kiver
Rebels, 12-0 before a large
crowd of spectators.
It could almost be termed a
game of "three yards, a cloud
of dust, and a punt" sort of
affair. Neither team displayed
a consistent offense but the
fans were treated to a fine
defensive struggle.
The Tornadoes recovered
twi Rebel fumbles and turned
them into touchdowns in a
non -conference contest.
Harlon Rice, Tornado
fullback, recovered a Rebel
fumble on the Rebel 7 yard
line in the second quarter and
ran it over two plays later
from the 3-yard line.
Boyce Mayhew, Tornado
halfback, recovered a Rebel
fumble an the kickoff to start
the second half and Rick
Harrell fired a 14-yard scoring
pass to Jimmy Ramsey for the
ID Neither extra pant atr
tempt was successful.
The above plays tell the
story of the scoring op
portunities as both opposing
lines and defensive backs
were outstanding.
For the Tornadoes, the
defensive standouts were
Harlon Rice, Boyce Mayhew,
Jerry Cody, J. C. Mclntyre
and Mike Boone. Ably

Troy Reid, David Adams,
