SUTTON - 19 WESTON - Z5 A game that will go down in the books as a marvelous piece of work was played at Weston when the stubborn Blue Devils threw a scare into the powerful Minutemen Z5-19. Sutton's scoring featured Jerry Pierson on a 76 yard jaunt off tackle. Bill Hawkins broke away from a host of would-be tacklers and galloped 52 yards for a touchdown. The Blue Devils after leading 19 to 12 at half time, were eventually outmaned by a much larger minuteman squad. However, our boys never gave up against superior odds. SUTTON - 14 GLENVILLE - 14 With the temperature reading in the high 90's the Glenville Red Terrors were held to a 14 - 14 deadlock by the Blue Devils. Bill Hawkins scored the first touch- down for Sutton and Haymond added the second. Rhodes scored both touchdowns for Glenville. 47

After Hawkins had run 13 yards for a touchdown and Haymond had added the extra point, the Blue Devils led in this game until the last minute and a half. Statistic- ally, the game was ours, but the final score read 12 to 7, Clay. SUTTON - 13 RUPERT - 13 The Sutton Blue Devils battled to a 13 - 13 tie with the Rupert Crim- son Tide on the Rupert gridiron. Pierson of Sutton opened the scor- ing by racing 89 yards on the first play after Sutton gained possession of the ball. In the second quarter a 40 yard pass from Hawkins to Pier- son put Sutton in front at the half 13-7. Kniceley a big 220 pound fullback scored Rupert's first touchdown. A blocked punt caught by Howard who ran 20 yards to score tied the ball game in the third period. The final period was played on even terms. Football B team in action.
