After being held scoreless in the first quarter, the Ponies came hack strong by scoring two touch downs and a safety in a big sec ond period. The Darkhorses started what looked like a touchdown drive in the first period when Reese sprinted 47 yards to the Warrior 20 before being dropped hard by a host of Swannanoa tacklers. The Warriors stiffened and took over after four plays on their own 14. Early in the second quarter the Horses began a drive from their own 20 which took them to the enemy one where the Warriors held. Kenny Woods, freshman Warrior fullback, fumbled on the first play. The ball bounced out of the end zone for a safety. White took the free kick on his own 42 yard line, picked up inter ference to the 40, and then broke out in the clear and sped over the final marker. It was the longest nin of the game. Charlie Reese made good the extra point. A few plays later Reese made it 14 to zero by passing to Joe Gregg for the TD. A pass from Reese to Gregg gave the locals six more points in tfie third. The try for conversion failed. The Warriors scored in the third period when Glenn, sub halfback, fumbled and Huntsinger followed the ball over the goal and covered for the tally. The last twe score for Black Mountain came when Capps plunged over from the one yard line and a short while later Jim my Milhee, hard blocking quarter back, hit Rice with a scoring pass from the 13.
