St Edward's Wins On Forward Passing In Narrow Football Tilt
St Edward's College defeated Ariel Baki College 7 to 6 in a loosely played football game Friday. The lone score came on a second period pass from Stressy to Darnenberger for a touchdown. Both teams showed little punch and the pace was listless throughout. Daniel Baker threatened only once near St Ed's three yard line as Bereth and defense held. A late 60 yard pass from Stuessy to Durrenberger put the ball at Baker's one but the Saints stopped the drive. Walker Reays also posted a strong performance in a separate boxing bout card at the event.
