Okemos, Oct. 8 - Okemos high school marked up another football victroy Friday, this time at the expense of Lansing Resurrection high, 20 to 7. The Chiefs scored two touchdowns in the second quarter and added a third soon after the half started.

Hazen Kart scored the first touchdown for Okemos, plunging through the line and Wayne Parish skirted the end to convert the extra point. Parish scored from the 3-yard line after a Resurrection fumble had given the Chiefs their second chance to make good. Charles Cooper caught a pass from Rodney Waters for the extra point.
