three quarters the Big Blue were 'held scoreless while the Saints ran up a '7fO lead. However, in the final session they uncorked a powerful drive, featured by hard charging and brilliant running, to tally six points. St. Mary's second marker, giving it a 13f6 victory, came late in the last quarter when one of the many passes Lincoln hurled in a final victory bid was intercepted. - Q Lincoln 12-fSt. Peter's O Though Lincoln entered the fray as the underdog, it capitalized on opportunities to score its Hrst victory over the downftowners in seven years- and the second in its gridiron history. In winning this game Lincoln clinched its first city title and strengthened its claim on the county crown. After three scoreless periods Lincoln piled up a 12fO lead in the final quarter when Lombardi, versatile quarterback, with perfect interference ran back a Petrean punt 96 yards for a touchdown, and Tom Finnie, plunging halfback, snared one of the many Prepster's passes, thrown in a desperate attempt to destroy the Big Blue's margin, and galloped 30 yards to score. Both trys for the extra point failed. St. Peter's hopes of victory were dimmed by the brilliant defensive work turned in by acting Captain Ansbro, Bill Cochrane, and Joe Tedeschi. Fla' herty was Lincoln's only constant ground gainer. Lincoln O-Union Hill 7 Alert and fiercefflghting, Lincoln turned in one of its finest exhibitions of football play in losing 7fO to a spirited Union Hill team. The Lions gave all they had, outplaying the Hillers, but they lacked scoring punch. Drive after drive crumpled to pieces around the twenty yard line. Union Hill scored its points in the closing seconds of the first half when a Lincoln pass was intercepted and carried seventy yards for a touchdown. In the third period Richards, playing a stellar role at tackle, suffered a neck injury. Cochrane, Jaccarima, Lenz., and Lee, all linesmen, played a brilliant game. Lincoln 25-Memorial O In brilliant style Lincoln closed o-ne of its most successful football seasons when it routed an inspired Memorial eleven, 25fO. It was a big day for the reserves, who put across three of the four win' ning touchdowns. The subs tallied twice in the first quarter, when Flannelly, intercepting a pass, went forty yards to score, and later when Keegan gal' loped fortyftwo yards round end. The third tally, effected by Keegan, culf minated a sixty yard drive featuring Gillon's flashy running. The regulars, playing only for the second quarter, scored on a short pass from Lombardi to Campbell.
