game they failed to 3core point as they bowed to the Fort Warren Broncos 10-0 in a chilly game before a meager crowd of about 1500 fans The game was played at the Community baseball park the first grid game to be staged on the baseball diamond The covered grandstand proved a welcome shelter for the fans who braved the storm to witness the well played contest A miniature blizzard just before kickoff time kept most of the fans at home but the weather cleared and the players were hampered only by the wet grass and the mud around the diamond infield Fort Warren the team that whipped the

the first period and the second to the 12-yard line in the second quarter On both occasions the Air Base offense bogged down and attempts were made to score field goals The first by Dick DeShazo was wide by about two feet The other by Don Fambrough was blocked by the alert Fort Warren forward wall i The visitors failed to threaten the first two quarters 1 In the third quarter Fort Warren managed

down on the three-yard line Comins lost six when he slipped on a reverse but Gomillion made six and Comins made the last three through right tackle to score Henry Bremer split the uprights on the try

and Fort Warren recov- 1 ered Both teams made seven first downs during the game The Air Base had the advantage in yardage with 129 to 91 from rushing but the Wings are still goal-line shy and slow
