Fumbles were frequent on both
sides, hut the Lions' fumbles hurt.
A fumble on the one foot line coat
them a touch down.- Todd, Jung
and Williams hud plowed through
the heavy Stamford line for ex-
actly 54 yards in 12 plays to place
the bull utmost on the goal line.
Then it happened, and Stamford
covered. That was in the second
quarter.
In tli" third quarter Jung mixed
a 10 yard pass and a 26 yard pass
with some line plunges to put the
ball on the Stamford 11. And
that elusive wet ball got away

The Albany boys made 8 first
