Ervin had returned a punt eighty yards for the first score and Paty provided the second with a 61-yard run off tackle. Two fast tallies by McMinn County in the first period gave the Tornado a poor start, but a touch- down by guard Ken Hamm with a recovered fumble and a safety by Robertson early in the second quarter put McCallie within a striking range. A 12-yard scoring pass from Mercer to Ervin and a 68-yard run by Paty in the opening minutes of the second half gave the Blue its 21-12 win. Mercer played his best game of the season against the Red Bank Lions, accounting for all 20 of McCallie,s points. The first touchdown came on a 53-yard drive. The second was made on the next play from scrimmage after Robertson fell on a ball on the Red Bank 2, after the Lions had let the kick- off roll. ln the fourth quarter Starrett hit a Lion back with a bone-jarring tackle that shook the ball loose into Mercer's hands, The Tornadoman ran untouched for a 25-yard score and the best per- formance of the week in area football.

A few plays later Tiger half back, Alex Watt went ovcr. Regaining possession of the ball on a pass interception, Tigerman John McFariin took a hand- off and scampered untouched for the score.
