Qur very versatile center, Don Iohn- son, swapped places with the tailback for the first time of the year. On the play, Iohnson completed a pass, covering EU yards to Parker for a TD, giving the Iackets a l2 to 6 halftime lead. lt looked as if our boys would add another TD to the score in the opening moments of the second half, but downs ran out inside the lU yard line.
