Uniontown turned the football over to Montour in just that manner last night and it was disastrous. The'. Spartans capitalized on virtually every opportunity, as It rolled to a 41-0 triumph over the Raiders and handed the undermanned Maroon and White its worst setback of the campaign, Montour hit for two touch: downs in each of the first three periods before turning things over to reserves in the final period, Uniontown, with starters pot dressed for having missed practice without excuse this week, was never able to mount any sort of a sustained attack and suffered its fourth shutout among its seven defeats in a winless campaign, For Montour the victory was the fourth in seven games and third straight for the Spartans who are now starting to look like the contending club they were touted to be before the season began.

Swift Jerry Brandy led the Montour assault with three touchdowns. It's th'e second week in a row the Spartan tailback crossedUhe goal line three times. Bill Cook scored twice and Frank 'Milsak got the sixth Montour touchdown. Quarterback Mike Satak: passed for three of the six counters. Uniontown got across the 50 only four times but never threatened.

Its e'p penetration was the Montour 43. In the first half as Montour built a 27-0 lead the Raiders didn't cross into Spartan territory until the last play of the half when a pass took the ball to theMonlour 45. It didn't take long for this one to go bad for the Raiders. They fumbled on second down after the game opening kickoff and in six plays Montour was on the Scoreboard. Things got progressively worse.

A pass interception set up a second touchdown in the opening period. Montour didn't overpower the Raiders exactly in the yardage department. The Spartans had a total offense of 271 yards, a rather modest figure to produce 4) points. The visitors racked up 181 rushing yards and picked up the other 90 on seven pass completions in 13 attempts. In contrast Uniontown was held to 111 yards in the game--82 rushing and 29 on two pass completions In nine tries.

Brandy topped the ground gainers as he moved 76 yards in 14 carries. Closest to him among his mates, was Cook's 25 yards on nine carries. Mike Kennedy, getting his first offensive a i assignment of the season, was the top gainer for with 27 He carried seven times, all in the first half. Montour its six touchdown parade after Cook came up with Dave Repa's fumble on the Raider 36 just two plays after the opening kickoff. The big play was an 18-yard run around end on the split option bp Bfandy to the Uniontown 12.

The payoff was an 11-yard pass from Satak to Cook and Milsak promptly added the seventh point from placement to make it 7-0 with 8:22 left in the period. It wasn't long until the Spartans were back in blisiness again. Five plays after the ensuing kickoff they regained the ball on an in- tercepUon. by Lou Matyaz of a Greg Garbutt pass. Matyaz ran the ball from his 35 to the Uniontown 44 to start a six play drive.
