ANCHORAGE BLACKS
DEFEAT PALMER 39-6
By Mickey Leek
The AHS Black team duplicat
ed the score of the school’s Or
ange team when they defeated
Palmer 39 to 6 last Friday. The
injury-ridden Palmer- team did
not have the horses to catch up
to the bigger and more experienc
ed Anchorage squad.
The Eagle quarterback did a
good job with his signal calling,
moving from the ground to the
air and then back again. This
system had the Palmer team on
the defensive throughout the
game with Anchorage piling up
11 first downs compared to Pal
mer’s five.
Gary Murphy started the
Blacks first -scoring with an
eight-yard touchdown. The visit
ing team scored again in the first
quarter which ended at 13-0 in
their favor. The Anchorage quar
terback scored another TD in the
middle of the second quarter.
A Palmer 30-yard pass put the
ball deep in Anchorage’s terri
tory and Roy Felix, running with
a badly sprained ankle, scored
the lone Palmer tally.
The third period was opened
with a 65-yard pass for another
Anchorage touchdown. Still an
other touchdown was made in
(the last couple minutes of
the third quarter when Anchor
age’s Felton made a neat 50-yard
run. Picking up the only score in
1 the final period Anchorage top
ped the Palmer team 39-6.
The Palmer Moose meet the
Anchorage Orange team again
tomorrow on the Anchorage field.
Injuries and sickness have hit the
Blue and White team pretty hard
this past week, but . . . the game
isn’t over yet!
