Game of Season 28-19
Scoring Spree in Final Half Brings
Local Boys a Victory Over
Plymouth Five. '*"
Last Wednesday evening the local
Independents closed their season of
scheduled games in a pleasing manner, defeating the Plymouth Aces in
a game that was noi as close as the
score, 28-19, indicates.
As usual, the locals started slowly,
being badly outplayed in the first
half and outscored as well, 13-8.
However, the visitors were unable to
hold their margin, as the home team
scored at will in the last two periods.
Plymouth counted but six points -in
the last half against the strong d«-
fense shown by the Saline five.
