Although the Irish outgamed St Felix 15 first downs to three an outplayed the Yellowjackets afte: the first quarter, they weren abi to clinch their fourth victory iri five starts until the final quarter when their own passing attack clicked and their foes backfired to produce three counters.

Bill Casey, Carl Goethel, Stolp and Jim Gar vev srr(H fnr tVif Trisri I Ahead at halftime, 7-0, on a 551- yard runback of a punt engineered by Bruce Pavelski and Casey, S3. Pats dominated play in the second half by rolling up 10 first downs and keeping play deep in St. Felix ter- ritory. The Yellowjackets kept th Irish away from their goal in the third period, but folded badly in the first part of the final quarter, St.

Felix held St. Pat's deep in Irish territory most of the first quarter, a period of ragged play in which fumbles and pass intercepi- tions bogged down attacks of botn teams. Two 40-yard punts by Casey, only two the Irish were forced to tr; kept his team out of danger. The second quarter was similar except that the Irish began to re vive and forced St. Felix back into its own territory.

A Yellowjacket punt from its own 20-yard line just before the half ended set up St, Pat's first touphdown when Pavelski ran laterally on the return, then reversed to Casey who went 55 yards for the score. Leo Miller's kick made the count 7-0. Irish Dominate Second Half St. Pat's came back after the in termission to force St. Felix on the defensive, driving to the opponent' 15-yard line once before-losing the ball on downs.

A 30-yard pass, Stolp to Casey, brought the ball to the St. Felix 20, but 35 yards in penalties snuffed out the threat. Center Pat Egan set up the first score in the last period by inter cepting a pass and running to the St. Felix 30-yard line. Goethel cir(-cled left end prPthe first play for the touchdown' and Miller converted for a 14-0 lead.

Another interception set up the second Irish score after St. Felix had taken the klckof and driven to their 43-yard line. Casey snagged the pass and the Irish scored three plays later, Stolp blasting 25 yards to the 20, Pavelski going 16 to the four, and Stolp plunging over be tween guard and tackle. Miller kick failed, to leave the score 20-0 Fisher's passing combined with the running, of Garvey and Bill Richter to march downfield for the last score. A pass to Behrndt good for 18 yards put the ball on the St, Felix 2 and a spinner-lateral.

Fish to Richter to Garvey, sent the latter around end for the score. Miller made the score 27-0 with a perfect placement. St. Felix racked up two first downs against St. Pat's substitutes in the closing minutes, but Behrndt recovered a Yellowjacket fumble and the Irish were on the march again when time ran out.

Fumbles and pass interceptions cost St. Felix the ball six times and spiked most of the MinnesotJa team's offensive gestures. The Irish lost the ball once on fumbles and twice on intercepted passes. Penalties were about even, 0 yards for the Irish to 50 for the home club, but Casey's 38-yaitd average on two punts topped a 24-yard average on six punts by St. Felix.
