Inciden- Ully, was the only one in the past two seasons for the cement borough eleven. nom the outset the Naaareth eleven domineered aa statistics show they had a net gain of 3g6 yarda through scrimmage and forward pasaeii to 16 yards for the Trianglea. Throurh scrlmnuge alone the Naa¬ areth champions gained asg yardi to a minus nineteen yards for thoir opponenu. Naaareth compMad seven of M forward passea for IM yards. Intercepted flve pomes and angles completed thr e of eight pas.s- es for 35 yardf. and intercepted thr^e pas.sos Nazareth was penalized 3i ! yards to Easton's 20 Easton aver¬ aged 28 yards on ten punts whilf Nazareth averaged 20 yards on nine punts, however, thf m.ijority of Naz¬ areth's punts were m th'^ end zone and consequently reduced their average. Six kickoffs by "Vic" Weiss, for¬ mer Moravian College star, kept the Triangles deep In their own territory all through the game as all of the klckoffs sailed Into the end zone. The game's opening kick-off drop, ped the Triangles back to their own 20 and they were forced to punt, the baU aerlailng Ita way to mid fleld. On the third play Jake Yur- asits wormed his way to the Baston 14 on a 34 yard sprint, however, the boggy field proved diaastroua to the Naaareth backs who were not yet accustomed to the poor footing and they were held for downa. The re- malnder of the flrst half was a punt¬ ing duel with Naaareth holding a sUght edge In play. ahortly after the third period opened the Naaareth powerhouae sUrtcd to roll.
