The Spartans got the touchdown with 12 seconds to spare after a 79-yard drive.

COMPLETING his first passes of the intermittently rainy night, Look hit Wayne Fontes for 30 yards and 13 Ballman for 17, and finally Adderley for the final eight. It was Look's ninth touchdown pass in eight games. If that was supposed to bring back for the second half a bit blunted, it didn't.

Cooley made only two solid scoring moves. The Cardinals took the opening kickoff and moved 31 yards to the Cavalier 30 before Bill Kelley fumbled and Manny Lamprides recovered for St. Ambrose. EARLY in the second quarter St. Ambrose took a Cooley punt near midfield but was penalized to its 20.

In 10 plays, with D'Angelo i carrying six times, the East Siders went all the way. D'Angelo plunged oer right guard for the touchdown. Cooley got that one back in a hurry.

Ken Barget, Cooley's right end, caught D'Angelo on the hip and he spun again.

Charles Rogers got a hand on D'Angelo at the 15 but the little terror broke away and went the rest of the way untouched. "We lost to a good ball club," said Roger Parmentier Cooley coach, as he walked off the field dejectedly. "They got us in a hole in the second half and wouldn't let up on the pressure. We couldn't get out." Cooley had the ball for only 12 plays in the second half and three were used for punts. BOISTL'KE called all the key plays in the second half and his fourth-down gambles paid off one right after the other.

D'Angelo's winning touchdown came on a fourth down-and-four situation at the Cooley 23.
