When' it was all over, the Eagles 'went home on 'the -Short end' of 8 13-O score, and Edm-ore-fans ad- journed to the Hlomecommg .dance for a happy celebnaition. Sharper than they've been all season, the Panthers never let Carson off the mat.

A 'slight case of Edmofrds third'- huatrter jittem came when play re- Bxmed, but this time the airftmght antlfer defense held the Eagles Marilyn Melgaard Homecoming Queen -off. And the closing minutes of tihe game saw Edmore ofn the seven- yard line, with only the time clock preventing 'another score. It w-as a real test for the Pan- thers, who had been looking over their shoulders at Carson City all season long. Preseason dope had made the Eagles favorites for tihe championshuiipp they were- ia big, tough squad with an undefeated record when they came tio Edvmore. The margin might well have been four touchdowns instead of two. Besides the drive interrupted by the en-dr of the game, the Pan- thers got another push started- ear- Ily in the fourth quarter, only to lose -the ball inside Carscfn's ten after a penalty had set them back. The Panthers got their ex-tra point via -a cute play. In place-kick formation, the ball was snapped in ,what looked like a high pass from center. While the Eagles rushed in to block' the kick, Larry Beach, wiho had' had 'to leap high to catch the bad center, calmly passed into the end zone to Tom Shurlow.
