The loss and the heavy rain, which started an hour before game time and continued well into the fourth quarter, were a combination which served to dampen the spirits and limit numbers of a Homecoming day crowd at MSC. As a result, NESC maintained Ls grip on first place in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with a loop record of 3-0 and MSC fell further behind as its loop Maryville Daily Forum Monday, Nov. 1,1971 record dropped to 2-2.

MSC, averaging 182 yards a game rushing and 195 yards a game passing in the first five tests, was limited to 67 yards in the mud and 77 yards through the rain-filled air.

NESC took advantage of the poor aerial show to mass their forces against the run, and the strategy paid huge dividends.

Jim Albin, star rusher, who carried into the game a number six ranking in national NCAA College Division statistics with 145 yards per game, was limited to only 13 yards.

Big Plays On the other side of the coin, NESC made the big plays and their defensive line stopped the Bearcats cold. And as Coach Dye put got two super backs (Lenvil Elliott and Pete Robertson) and we get them Elliott, who gained 53 yards on 15 carries, broke the back in the second quarter with a 55-yard run off a screen pass to erase a 3-0 Bearcat lead.
