FO0TBALL SEASUN REVIEW SEPTEMBER 18--A 43-yard pass from fullback Chuck Payne to end Walter Bailey gave the Spartans a victory as Sumner took a 14-12 lead over the host Lincoln Tigers with 31 seconds remaining in the game. The Spartans scored first in the game when quarterback William Perry plunged from the 4-yard line. Lincoln collected her touchdowns in the second and third quarter respectively on a Z1- yard pass from Tiger quarterback Jerome Gilbert to teammate Harvey Cain and an inter- ception by J. Hatche. SEPTEMBER Z5--Sumner tasted her first defeat of the season as Wichita Kapaun took a 38-0 win on the local field.

The Crusaders scored immediately in the first period after recovering a Sumner fum- ble. The touchdown was made by Mike Knolla on the visitor's second play of the game. Maurice Parks, versatile end-quarterback, led the team to within scoring distance in the last minutes of the game.

Sumner's tally was pushed across with four minutes left in the first quarter. Quarter- back Bill Perry plunged from the Z after runs by John Collins, Ron Holly, and Chuck Payne put the ball on the 5. Mike Harris, Golden Eagle fullback, went over from the 5 early in the first quarter to climax a 64-yard drive. He cracked six yards into the end zone midway in the second period to cap a 69-yard effort.
