Ithaca's main cogs were Fiore Zllld Culbertson, each scoring two touchdowns. Sutphen, Sag- an, and Ives stood out defensively for North. The Indians as usual relied on Rohan to do their passing. George Booth scored the sin- gle Indian tally. NORTH 14-CENTRAL 12 North students will always consider the '43 season one of their best for it was the first time an Indian gridiron team out-scored their city rivals, Central. In this game the Indian had scoring punch and were on their toes to the final play, capitalizing on every break. Al Rood scored first for North. Then in the exciting last period Rudic scored for Central. Bill Heath intercepted a Bulldog pass and raced along the sidelines for North's second touchdown. Central's Rudic scored again but Don Shelley of North had twice kicked the extra points which decided the game in North's favor. The Indian Junior Varsity football squad lacked the offensive to achieve a winning rec- ord during the 1943 season. but the Blue and Scarlet scored a win over Central's Reserves as the fall's big achievement. The J. V.'s had one victory against six defeats. Junior Varsity Scores: North J. V. 0 Vestal 13 North J. V. 0 Johnson City J. V. 6 North J. V. 0 Central J. V. 12 North J. V. 8 Central J.
