Then Irvin added to our total by scoring an unconverted touchdown on a short end run. Patterson pounded across for the Old Boys about the middle of the last quarter, leaving the score tied ll-ll. Hart kicked a single, putting the school in the lead again. In the last ten seconds of the game, the Old Boys attempted a kick from the thirty-five yard line, which Irvin returned, and the school failed to give their receiver yards. This gave the Old Boys another play, and Pritchard kicked a Held goal, giving them the game, 14-12.
