The Meteors refused to be impressed by the fact that seven strong teams had averaged less than four points per game against the defen- sive-minded Cushing eleven. Marquette took the opening kick-off and powered 78 yards for a TD in seven plays. Bill Heath went over on a pass from quarter- back Johnny Mullens. Bob Scholtz's kick made it 7-0. The stunned Cushing crowd breathed easier when the Tigers returned the Marquette kickaoff 80 yards for the tying touchdown, The Meteor offense was held in check until Eddie Peace capped a sustained drive with a one-yard scor- ing plunge. Marquette's defense, however, could not cope with Cushing's swift backs, headed by Kelley Burden, and the half time totals favored the Tigers 32-14. The second half was fought on even terms with hard running by Peace, Bill Syron, and Louis Ford and two touchdown aerials snagged by Al Houston. Cushing also scored twice, however, and the final score read Cushing 46 - Marquette 27. a Qu! .H-A
