SEMINOLE Kill the bird. That was the cry of the Packer backers as they jammed Seminole's tiny stadium. After falling behind, the Pack came back as Steve Webb blasted in from four yards out. With the score 7-7 in the fourth quarter, the Warhawks were forced to punt deep in their own territory. Rick Starr got a hand on it to give Largo good field posi- tion. Webb tallied from the one and the Packers led 14-7. To the crowd's disbelief, Seminole drove for a touchdown and a two point conversion late in the quarter. A glassy- eyed Largo squad walked away with a 15-14 defeat. The bird had survived. PACKERS - 14 SEMINGLE - 15 DUNEDIN The Packers tuned up for their showdown with Clearwa- ter by trouncing the Falcons of Dunedin 28-17. Fullback Steve Webb rambled for three touchdowns with superb blocking from the line - led by Don Stowers and Iohn Campbell. Terry Wheaton called an impressive game and ran for a four yard score. Chris Bennett and Doug Baker led the defense while Ronnie Roberts scooped up a fumble and picked off a pass. Clearwater will not take Largo lightly next Thursday.
