After suprising the crowd by jumping ahead to a quick 12-0 lead in the first quarter, the Yardlings were plagued by the same troubles that cost them several scoring chances earlier in the season. Although the backfield continued to perform admirably, the line was unable to offer sufficient help and the Yardling defense could not cope with Elis' running and passing attack...
