EAGLES SET BACK PATRIOTS BY 22-20
Run Out Clock After Boston Rallies for Two Scores
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept 2 (UPI)—The Philadelphia Eagles built a 19-point lead but had to run out the clock in the waning minutes today to preserve a 22-20 interleague exhibition victory over the Boston Patriots.
Rick Duncan's 46-yard field goal early in the final period gave the Eagles their winning points before a crowd of 31,404 at Harvard Stadium. The Patriots struck back for two late touchdowns before the Eagles killed the clock with a series of running plays.
A former Boston quarterback, John Huarte, passed 42 yards to Ben Hawkins for one Philadelphia touchdown while Tom Woodeshick plunged 2 yards for the other after a 47-yard pass from King Hill to Izzy Lang. Hill passed to Pete Emelianchik for one conversion and Huarte pitched to Fred Hill for the other.
Philadelphia's other 2 points came from a third-quarter safety as a defensive end, Mel Tom, tackled Boston's quarterback, Mike Taliaferro, in the end zone.
