In the second frame, an 18 yard struggle by Jess brought in another T.D. for the Tigers. Jess’s third score was a one yard plunge at right tackle on the fourth play capping a 66 yard drive. David con- verted the three extra points. Mike Davidson, of the Tiger defense, plucked off an Albert- ville pass returning it thirty two yards for a T.D. Clay kicked PAT. On the line, big plays were turned in by Mark Webb, Bill Abston. Terry Moon, Charles Martin, James Gilbreath, and Mike Whitt. Steve Beene pulled in four aerials of the tosses for 93 yards. Rod Longshore also aided the Tigers by breaking up a T.D. in the end zone which was a great defensive play. Mike Douglas, junior quarterback, was poised as he threw 13 times for 150 yards. Tumlin caught two for 29 yards; Gil- breath and Wright caught one each to complete the passing yardage. Specialist David Clay attempts the P.A.T. as Tiger lineman holds off the Aggies. 21
