First Quarter As the game got under way Mc Cormick drove the ball down to the Aiken 8 yard line but lost it on downs.

The six points were made bv a pass from Patterson to Edmunds who ran about 30 yards for the touchdown, along with the good blocking of Ed Brown, thus ending the first quarter. Second Quarter The second quarter was a see saw back and forth with good kicking and running by the Mc Cormick bovs. Third Quarter McCormick kicked off and play was resumed, with McCormick gettipg the edge on tackling, kick ing, and first downs. A fumble by McCormick gave Aiken the ball on McCormick’s 20 but McCormick tightened down and took the ball over on the 24 yard line.
