Spencer scored 3 touchdowns on their first 4 offensive plays. Spencer tallied again in the Znd period and led Z8-0 at halftime. After a spirited pep-talk by Coach George Adams, the Blue Devils came out and outscored Spen- cer 14-13 in the last half, as Haymond caught a 30 yard Hawkins-pass and Pierson scored late in the fourth per- iod.
