Early in the first quarter the Beavers recovered a fumble on the Spartan’s 25 yard line. Jack O’ Conner completed a 15 yard pass to George McCorkle which proved to be a touchdown. Conversion was no good. Through the first and early part of the second quarter the Hills boro eleven worked their way to the Beaver’s six inch line. The determined Beavers held them for three hard driving downs. On the third of which the Spartans were penalized five yards. On the 4th try the Hillsboro left half, Willis Laird shot a short pass to Wally Sighr and they marked up their first score. Conversion was good. Later In the same quarter Bea verton drove from their 15 yard mark to the Hillsboro 10 yard llru. From this position Ed Harvey re ceived O'Conner's pass and the Beavers were ahead 12-7. Conver sion was no good. With a few minutes remaining in the first half Hillsboro’s Willis Laird sprinted a hard 60 yards on a reverse around their right end to a touchdown. Conversion was good. While the overflowing grand stand and sidelines were bursting with excitement the first half ended with Hillsboro leading 14-12. Coming back in the third quar ter w’ith hard fighting determina tion the Beavers gained back their lead when John Thomas broke down the sidelines for a surpris ing 65 yards. Jack Ross completed the conversion on a line buck. In the remaining quarter the Beavers gained their last 12 points with O’Conner throwing two well aimed passes to Harvey. One a 20 yard spiral and the other a 9 yard throw which put Harvey within five yards of the goal. A f ter battling through much inter ference Harvey gained pay dirt.
