He started it off by grabbing an 11-yard scoring pitch from Churchich and finished it with a 10-yard scamper around the left side just 59 seconds before the quarter ended.

In between the Reds scored once on a fumble recovery in the end zone by Rick Coleman It was no longer a contest, but the Reds did score once more with Churchich hitting Dennis Morrison with a 58- yard scoring aerial in the fourth quarter The Whites struck savagely for a final score late in the ball game with Ernie Sigler, a sophomore quarterback, di- lecting a 58-yard march and scoring the touchdown from a yard out.

"But we've got some kids who can throw and some receivers if we need to pass," he said. Bauer was pleased with the line play of Wally Winter, who also booted the five- yard field goal with 45 seconds left the half to send the Rockets to the dressing room with a 3-0 lead. Other linemen winning the coach's plaudits were Gordon Jones, Bill Fagler and Steve Kles as long as praises aie being handed out, you can't forget Fremont ''Fremont's got a good ball club," Bauer said. "They hit about twice as well as last year." What about next week's game with cross-town rival Southeast?
