Coach Wally Bullington, who as-
sisted Moser the entire week, said
that they didn't try anything fancy
because “we didn't want these

"They wrote that South line up

more desire," said Bullington.

So one-sided was the contest
that the South had never pene-

half, while the North held a 21-0
lead.
While Gregory's and Moreland's
TD jaunts were for longer yard-

prettiest run of the night as he
wove in and out of blockers and
tacklers from side to side, finally
going over near the left sideline.
