Alternating Current High hopes for a win over Woodberry Forest in a return match were shattered when a scoreless tie proved that neither team was able to produce endzone action. Neither team was able to penetrate the other team’s 30 yard mark. In the final quarter a Woodberry fumble and an AMA recovery offered hope, but the Orange men tightened and held the Streaks to the 35 yard line. “We just felt the AMA-SMA game was going to have that electricity.” Coach Joe Josephson wasn’t wrong. Alert Lindsay Sharpless blocked an SMA kick early in the first quarter and instead of dancing around with the ball, aimed and succeeded in reaching the endzone. Pat failed, and SMA waited for the second quarter to score. Turna- round gave the Hilltoppers the ball again, but Tom Price intercepted a pass and ran 55 yards for the TD. Reaching for a Tom Peifer pass in the third quar- ter, Bodie Cook almost glued the ball into his hands and raced to s core. Conversion was successful for a 20-7 win. Football fans and Shriners shivered through four long quarters in the Shrine Bowl game. Strangely enough, everyone throught that AMA was winning from the cheers and yells of the corps, but an 18-0 lead in the first segment almost tied up the game for the Caissons. Interference against the FMS men gain the Streaks a first at the 16. Three plays later Bodie Cook raced around right end for the final nine yards and paydirt. Roaring AMA fans were treated to a final Streak TD with only 17 seconds left. Bodie grabbed a flair pass from Tom Peifer and raced into the endzone. The same pair produced the added two points. Final score FMS 36-14 AMA. BIG SQUEEZE. Bodie Cook finds he can’t go in any direction when Bob Rogers (85) and Bill Lancer (34) break through AMA’s defense. The stop was temporary. SMA is upended 20-7. PAIN IS REAL, but it does not result from a game, but an intensive practice at the start of the season. Lindsay Sharpless discovers what a neck bridge means. Football— 23 O
