' Brent Parish RB Henderson Blirm 41 who intercepted two passes against the Cardinals the first timc they met this year, intercepted three more Saturday to raise his season total to seven. Clark made the second quarter rather monotonous, scoring on the first play of the period and twice more before Whittington scored his second six-pointer. The third score came after a 62-yard drive that was more controlled by penalties than either team's play. Blinn picked up hack-to-hack first downs off penalties. Clark did the final honors with a nine- yard run and Trussell stretched the lead to 21-0. l-Ienderson's next possession was only one play long as Baker picked off his first pass and set up the next Blinn scoring drive of 33 yards. Clark scored on fourtl1-and- goal from the one when he faked a dive and kept around the end. va '.'.'y'.'-1 Q .'.'
