TIGERS 13-0
Matthews Plunges Twice
to Score Through
Lighter Opponents
Coach Marv Miller’s spirited
Ewing Tigers came to town Fri
day night for an intracounty fi
asco with the O’Neill Eagles. It i
might also be said they came to
town to win a ball game.
But the Eagles uncorked a
bushel of laterals and for
wards and a variety of sur
face plays that produced
po nts in the first and last
stanzas, netting O'Neill a 13
0 win. It was the third
straight triumph for Coach
Kelley Saindon's Blues, hav
ing previously polished - off
Plainview and Bassett.
Big Bob Matthews, senior full
back. punched across both O’
Neill touchdowns on lunges in
to the line after passes had set
the pins.
In the opening period the
Eagles got on the move from
their own 30. Flips from Quar
terback Gordon Elkins and
Matthews to End Dean Van Ev
ery took the ball deep into Ew
ing territory. The lighter but
determined Ewing line held for
two downs inside the 2-yard
stripe before Big Bob crashed j
through.
A second O’Neill threat was
turned back and the teams
worked on fairly even teims un
til O’Neill launched its second
touchdown march.
A series of aerials, including
a nifty forward-lateral, pro
duced a first down on Ewing's
2. Matthews was provided
good interference and skipped
across standing up.
Matthews, Elkins and Wally
Shelhamer showed well for O’
Neill. Shelhamer was hurt dur
ing the first half and witnessed
the rest of the game from the
sidelines. Halfbacks Jack Pru
den and Dave Weyhrich led the
Ewing attack.

WORLD SERIES FAILS TO DETRACT FROM
LYNCH - CHAMBERS PLAYOFF
(By a Staff Writer)
On the East coast there was a
sporting classic over the weekend
known as the World Series,
In this n e c k-of-ihe-woods
there was a sporting event of
equal importance to at least
the members of the Lynch and
Chambers baseball teams and a
thousand faithful souls who i
managed to witness the two
game tilt that netted Lynch the
Holl-Boyd championship.
In the first of the two-out-of
three playoff series, between the
first- and second-half cham
pions, Lynch bested Chambers,
4-3, in a ding-dong battle at
Chambers Saturday. Next day
—Sunday—Lynch won again, 7
2, at Lynch.
Explosive Lynchers
Wait Until 9th—
CHAMBERS— Until the first
half of the ninth inning it look
ed like a Chambers win. The
Holt countyans were ahead, 3-1,
going into the last frame.
But even the oldtimeis. like
Boss Harry McKay, of Cham
bers, knew well enough that
the game isn’t oyer until the
last man is out in the last-half
of the last inning — especially
when you’re bucking an explo
sive outfit like Lynch.
This is what happened:
Catcher Payne, first man up
for Lynch, got a single. Field
er Koenig advanced Payne to
second. Second Baseman Sum
ner struckout. A single by
Shortstop Boelter brought in
Payne and Koenig and the ball
game was tied 3 - all. Third
Baseman Rossmeir went down
swinging. The pitcher, Sonny
Retzlaff, of Pierce athletic fame,
blasted one that brought in
Boelter with the winning tally.
Lynch was retired as Sonny
Mohr, a pinch-hitter, struckout.
Retzlaff whiffed a half-dbzen
Chambers batsmen and was giv
en better support than Faulk
hurling for the losers.

SACRED HEART
TRIUMPHS 14-0
St. Mary’s Produces
‘Most Opposition Yet’
for State traders
The state’s leaders in six-man
grid circles ran into more op
position than was expected on
the O’Neill lot Sunday, but the
outcome Mas the same as pre-1
dieted by most dopesters.
The unbeaten Knights of
Sacred Heart, of Norfolk, de
feated St. Mary s, of O'Neill,
14-0. According to the Nor
folkans' coach. Bill Phillips,
the Knights were confronted
with the toughest opposition
in four starts.
After the game Phillips com
mented that the St. Mary's
crew was "certainly entitled to
be ranked among the five best
six-man clubs in Nebraska.”
Both Sacred Heart touch
downs came in the first-half.
Duane Grotty scored the first
one when he broke through the
St. Mary’s line, cut back and
sped 25 yards to pay territory.
Don Kellogg’s dropkick was no
good.
Later, Kellogg squirmed
away for 40 yards to the O'
NeiM academy’s 1-foot line. A
15 - yard penalty set the
Knights back, but in three
more plays Gene Juve had
bounded over from the 3. Kel
