Hillsboro drew first blood when Frederick dashed around left end for 12 yards and a touchdown after three minutes of play. Try for tfce extra point was foiled when the kick was blocked, and the score stood 6-0; Bragtown Scored later in the same quartef when Col cough threw Byrd a 25-yard pass. Braktown’s kick was blocked and the first oaarter~eaded-in--a—6-6 tie. In the second quarter, Frederick connected with M. Howerton on a 15-yard pass for a touchdown. This was Howerton’s third touchdown pass of the season. After the half, Hillsboro drove 75 yards to the one-yard line where King went over for the third and last score. Frederick faked a run, but threw Parker a pass for the conversion. The score rested 19-6 as the third quarter ended. Trying to run the count up even further, Frederick started out the last quarter by throwing Parker a 10-yard pass, which Parker took and twisted all the way to the opponents’ five-yard line. A pen alty brought the ball back to the line of scrimmage. v r reaencK, on two successive tries, took the ball lor 30 and 40 yards, only to have each brilliant run nullified by penalties. As the result ol superb coach ing, the Yellow Jackets showed perfect coordination between line and backfield. Time and again the forward wall opened holes lor Lu ther King who ripped off yard alter yard. The Bragtown line was held while F. Frederick threw passes to M. Howerton and W. Par ker lor substantial gains. As lor the backfield, there was no stop ping them. Frederick dashed around ends behind the excellent blocking of Parker and Gates to rfeel off gains. King hit the center ol the line and at one time picked up 30 yards through center. Fans who missed the Bragtown game missed seeing one of the most thrilling games which Hills boro ever played. Hillsboro’s wide open type ol play and snappy passing attack was interesting to watch. • • Blue ribbons go to -the whole team lor this game—to M. Hower ton, F. Frederick, T.
