The conversion pass att-

A pass interception by
Mustang Mark Vause at the
Tiger five yard line caused
the defense to once again
tighten their action. Const-
ant pressure from the
defensive secondary forced
a Mustang fumble at the
Tiger 12, and Mt. Vernon's
defensive tackle Jim Thras-
her was there to claim the
ball for the Tigers This
ended the last real threat by
the Mustangs during the
evening.
