JAYVEES IN TIE WITH EXETER

Crimson Defense Halts Prep Attack: Tarbell Bucks Over

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Lack of downfield blocking kept the Jayvees from a second victory over Exeter Saturday as they held the Exonians outside of the 40-yard line except for one 79-yard gallop that tied up the score at 6 all.

Charley Tarbell went over for the Crimson on a line buck in the first five minutes of play, after his plunging and Steve Gifford's deep reverses had carried the ball down form the schoolboys' 40. Tarbell's placekick was wide, the first conversion he has missed this year.

Near Score at End

After that drive, the Junior Varsity attack stalled whenever it approached paydirt. It came closest to a score at the end of the game, as the gun went off with the ball one foot from the winning touchdown.

Exeter was bottled up all day by all-around defense, with even the end sweeps that had proved so dangerous in the first encounter failing to gain any appreciable yardage. Bill Barnett, substitute left halfback, took the second half kickoff on his 21-yard line, headed straight downfield, and then cut over to the sideline and went all the way. The Crimson line piled through to smother the dropkick attempt for the extra point.
