With both teams marching to touchdowns the first time they got their hands on the ball it looked like the fans were in for a real battle in this closing game. However, from that time until the final gun the Broncos were definitely in control. Nothing the Rebels tried went right, while everything the Broncos tried seemed to click until the score was run to 58 to 7, with every CSU squad member seeing plenty of action. The game opened with Dixie Kicking off, after which the , Broncos drove CO yards to score j with Jack Godard, halfback ! trashing over from the five yard line for the touchdown, and Larry Lar-ry Crawford booting the point to give the Broncos a quick 7 to 0 lead. The ease with which the score was made indicated that the battle would be a one-sided affair. The Bronco boosters were a little surprised, however, when the Rebels did even better than the Broncos had done. The Reb els gained possession on uicir own own 20-yard line and contin- ued to march until Jimmy North passed to Bradshaw for a touchdown touch-down and Junior Seegmiller added add-ed the point to tie the score. The drive was slowed only once, when the Rebels made only five yards in three tries ,but with five yards to go on fourth down and the ball in midfield the Rebels gambled gam-bled and North completed a pass on a fake kick play. That ended the scoring for the first period, although the Broncos Bron-cos had marched to the Dixie nine yard line as the quarter ended. As the second period opened Dixie stopped the drive by recovering a Bronco fumble on the 13 yard line. After an exchange of punts Dixie "elected to try for first down with less than a yard to go, but failed and t lie Broncos took over on the Dixie Dix-ie 31. J. N. Webster made a first down on the Dixie 18, and Jack Godard moved it to the three, but CSU was penalized 15 yards for clippiTig. On the very next play however, Melling passed to John Wood for a touchdown, which proved to be enough for the victory. Later in the period Dixie gambled gam-bled again and the Broncos gained possession in Dixie territory, terri-tory, taking the ball on the Dixie 47. Two quick plays gave the Broncos another score, Webster Web-ster racing 32 yards to the Dixio 11 from where Keith Tattersal went over for the score. Larry Crawford again kicked the extra point to give the Broncos a 20 to 7 lead at half time. The third period proved to be a nightmare for the Dixie team. After Dixie had taken the kick-off kick-off to their 25-yard line, a pais play was attempted which Crawford Craw-ford intercepted and three plays later Tattersal raced 20 yards for another touchdown and a 26 to 7 lead. At this point the Bronco linemen started to take turns trying for extra points, with Thales Johnson getting the first try, but his kick was wide. Following this score Williams returned the kickoff to the Dixie 35, but a few plays later Don Keeney Intercepted a pass on the Dixie 41, and then Keeney passed to Wood for a touchdown. Jack Sargent's try for point was no good, but the Broncos held a 32 to 7 margin. Another gamble by the Dixie team followed this. With fourth down and nine yards to go on their own 20 yard line, the Rebels Reb-els tried a pass, which failed and the Broncos took over. Tattersal went to the Dixie 19 from where Ralph Jackson broke through the line for a touchdown. This one was nullified by a holding penalty. pen-alty. At this point Dixie recovered recov-ered a Bronco fumble, but the Broncos got the ball back again when Lund intercepted a pass on the Dixie 19.
