Unable to diag we the Tigers' offense, the Governors W dazzled throughout the game as the -, , rating from the famous T forma ' , made long gains con- sistently i and on the ground. The Governors' praised offense which was so evi nt in their previous game was conspicuously absent from the con- test as a hard charging Tiger forward Wall, backed up by an alert secondary, swarmed in time and time again to check the Maroons. The Micks showed definite indications that they were out to take the Governors as early as the first period when they marched to the two-yard line, only to lose the oval on downs. Several plays later, the Micks tasted first blood When Al Minn, alert fullback, intercepted a Farrington pass on the 31 yard line and outran the Maroon secondary to score standing up. The Micks duplicated this performance in each of the following quarters to roll up an immense score. 81 Tackle End The Maroons then managed to shave off a whitewash. Lopez of McKinley put the ball out of boundson the Governors' 40- yard line after the kickoff. On a long pass from Castro to Renfro, Ogawa was called for interfering, a penalty which gave the ball to the Maroons on the McKinley 30- yard line. A couple of running plays net- ted a gain of four yards. Again Castro passed to Renfro, who was run out of bounds. Renfro then packed the ball around left end and did the trick. With the above score, and the threat to score in the second period, the Governors seemed to be in good shape but unable to get going, thus leaving the Micks in com- plete command. The Farrinqton inexperienced line does good job holding the title-bound Saints
