when it muzzled the Butler Bulldogs 32 7 in Griffith Stadium And for this Capt Ken neth Booz of the visitors deserves a vote of thanks from the Colonials Booz is one of the best backs to play here this season but his sup porting cast was only mediocre at best Booz passed and his ends re peatedly dropped fumbled of waved timidly at the ball as it sailed over head when a completed pass would hae meant a substantial gain They Help Booz ran the ball and his 'own in terference got ii his way gummed up the play or failed to open enough of a hole for him to ease thru But there was always a chance that he might accomplish something if he kept trying and it was this one threat that kept the Colonials from sleeping peacefully thru the game As it was they were kept on their toes and so proceded to run thru the visitors for long gains and five touchdowns It was the ball carry ing of the Colonial backs that kept the game from becoming a dis tressingly uninteresting spectacle Long Runs Carlin furnished the first thrill when he cut thru inside tackle dodged the secondary and ran 48 yards to score the first touchdown Carlin passed to Mulvey for another and Parrish ended a long march down the field by going 18 yards for the third touchdown of the first half Carter scored two touchdowns in the second half going over from the two yard line for one and running 44 yards on a spinner for the sec ond Booz was responsible for only score He broke away for a 30 yard run to put the ball on the 13 yard line then passed to Hughes for the touchdown He kicked the extra point THE office
