The boys then advanced to the Elgin 3% yard line where they lost on downs. Elgin immediately tried to kick out of danger, but Ray Smith pounced on a blocked kick to give McHenry possession. Huska picked pp two yards. Bolger gained a few feet. Then Glenn Peterson came through in a straight-up run, carrying half a dozen players,over with him, for another touchdown. Crouch attempted to run around Elgin's left end for the point, but was stopped. Gordon Schmitt intercepted a St. Edward's pass at the end of the third quarter and Crouch stopped a desperate toss on their 40 yard line in the fourth quarter. McKim passed to Bob Schaefer in the end zone for McHen ry's last touchdown. The St. Edward's boys staved off a shut-out with a hard 65-yard run in the closing minutes. The extra point was missed as were all extra points throughout the game.
