DVC defeated Hollah Till You Pass Out, 21-12, Tues- day night at the Hawkeye Recreation Fields in the first intramural flag-foot- ball Game of the Week. With 45 seconds remain- ing in the game and trailing by nine, Hollah quarterback James Conway completed a pass to Lakshay Abbott on a fourth down just inches shy of the goal line. The Hollah players cele- brated, yelling that it was definitely a touchdown. Had it been ruled a touch- down, Hollah could have attempted to tie the game with a three-point conversion. The officials conferred for a few moments and ruled that Abbott was indeed just short of the end zone, keeping DVC’s undefeated season alive. The decisive score for DVC came late in the third quarter when quarterback Mike Highland completed a pass to Adam Wronkiewicz, who lat- eraled back to Highland just before his flags were ripped away by the defense. The Hollah defense stopped, thinking Wronkiewicz was down, but the play continued, and Hollah watched Highland run uncontested into the DAVID SCRIVNER/THE DAILY IOWAN end zone. UI freshman James Conway runs down field during Holla Till You Pass Out’s game against DVC on Tuesday “I got the ball off in time,” at the Hawkeye Recreation fields.
