It was also one of the most thrilling games that any Iona fan has ever sat through. The Maroon and Gold were taken by surprise when Port Chester promptly raced 80 yards on the second play of the game for a touchdown. But the un- daunted Irish slowly but surely worked their way back up the field until Jackie Moran stepped over from the five and Bob Sexton con- verted to put the Prepsters ahead 7-6. The stubborn Port Chester line held the Maroon and Gold's forward wall and, as a result, there was no scoring during the second and third periods. History repeated itself soon after the beginning of the last quarter when Sapione of the Rams broke away for a 75 yard score and converted to put the Blue and White ahead I3-7. Iona once again displayed their strength by plowing steadily up the field to the forty yard stripe where Jack Moran raced over for the score. With the score deadlocked at I3-I 3, the extra point set the- rooters raving. The center pass was high and Moran, who was holding for Bob Sexton, was unable to hold it. The ball crawled into Sexton's hands and with some beautiful blocking he carried it over for the winning point. J ack MOYBH Bi!
