Ardmore-Fairfax football game.
ardmore high school eliminated Fair
k from the state football champion-
jip race 28 to 0 in a post season game
ftyed on Boyd field Saturday after-
Don. A high north wind swept over
ie field, making it next to impossible
•pr the team facing the wind to gain con-
^tcntly or to punt successfully while
e punter with the wind was limited
to distance by the goal line.
Ardmore's driving linesmashes and
ilfiant end runs accounted for most
their gains but the pass was used to
vantage. Fairfax fought bitterly
roughout the game and several times
14 the charging Ardmoreites for the
ill under the shadow of their goal
ists. With two exceptions the of-
nse of the northern eleven counted
f>r nothing.
TJia Boyle-Van Dyne coached aggre-
gation from the south proved to be the
uperior eleven early in the play al-
hough Ardmore did not succeed in
poring in the first quarter. In the
Kcond half with the wind to their
lacks the southern eleven drove their
jvay to two touchdowns thru sheer
jmash and fight, Sullivan going across
•ho ribbons for both and kicking both
goals.
(n the third quarter successive line-
smashes and end runs with Halfback
Lamb carrying the ball accounted for
the lone marker in that period and
again Sullivan booted goal making the
score 21 to 0. . , ,
The fourth quarter opened with the
witfd against Ardmore but the breaks
of the game with blocked kicks against ijcr,tonitis
the f ighting Fairfax eleven gave Ard" j'.Ci0US since Monday evening,
more the agressive most of the quarter.
Sullivan added more glory to his day
nea* the end of the quarter when he
plunged over the Fairfax goal for the
third time. Joines kicked goal.
Fairfax took a spurt after this touch-
down and completed two brilliant passes
tor 2\ yards distance which gave them
the ball on Ardmore's 30-yard line for
the first time Fairfax was in Ardmore
territory during the second half. The
thttd pass attempted was intercepted by
Slough, Ardmore quarterback, on his
own 5-yard line who returned 20 yards
in a wonderful broken field run. Sul-
livJn followed with a "Bo" McMillan
dash around end, reversing the field
and gaining 50 yards. Lamb added 20
more in two end runs and the game end-
ed with the toll on the Fairfax 5-yard
line-
