Eagles and Cardinals Experience Disasterous Weekend
CREIGHTON HANDS BLUES FIRST SETBACK,
6-0; CARDS SCUTTLED AT GRAND ISLAND

SPECIAL TO THE FRONTIER
GRAND ISLAND—St. Marv’s,
of O’Neill, hoped to avenge last
year’s defeat by whipping St.
Mary’s, of Grand Island, here
Sunday. But that isn’t the way
things turned out.
The Grand Island academy
won. 27-6—a slightly greater
margin than the 27-13 count
f f a year ago when the Is
landers dampened the O'Neill
academy's homecoming festiv
ities.
The Islanders failed to nego
tiate a first-down during the
entire first-half, but first
downs are small potatoes when
you can rack up two touch
downs without ’em. The sec-,
ond-half was different. The Is
landers’ first - downs mounted
and so did the score. Two more
touchdowns and a touchback
were added.
The Cardinals came to life
in the third when Quarter
back Pat Hickey flipped a for
ward to End Larry Pribil, and
Pribil lateraled back to Hick
ey. who went 60 yards to
score.
On only one other occasion
fvere the Cards inside Grand Is
and’s 20.
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Dobney.
of Norfolk, drove here Monday
to visit their daughter, Mrs. R.
B. Armburster, and family.

Creighton 6; O'Neill 0
SPECIAL TO THE FRONTIER
CREIGHTON — Boss Kelley
Saindon is at a loss to explain
what happened (or didn’t hap
pen) here Friday night when his
O’Neill Eagles were handed
their first reversal in 1947 prep
grid play. Creighton won, 6-0.
"The boys were drab and
loggy and nothing worked,"
Saindon said afterwards. "I
only hope they got it all out
of their system in the one
game and things will be dif
ferent from now on out."
The Creighton Maroons, sport
ing a bulky, hardcharging line
and a light, speedy backfield.
drove 60 yards to score the only
touchdown of the game. This
came in the second period with
consistent three- and four-yard
hammering. Halfback Mitties
rambled 20 yards on the touch
down play.
It was the only occasion
Creighton got within the shadow
of the O’Neill goalposts. Other
times the Eagles’ forward wall
held with End Bob Irwin play
ing a hangup game in the line
and Big Bob Matthews doing a
cofnmendable job of backing-up
the line.
Creighton outdowned the
Eagles. 12-7. The O'Neill of
fensive seemed to fizzle on
the down where yardage was
needed.
O’Neill had previously bowled
over Plainview, Bassett and Ew
ing in that order and was favor
ed to defeat Creighton.

AINSWORTH STIFF
TEST FOR EAGLES
Rebound Might Work
Hardship on Arrows;
Butte Here
The weekend grid offering in
these parts is headed by the an
nual Amsworth-O’Neill get-to
; gether to be staged Friday night
under the Ainsworth lights.
Unbeaten, the Arrows are
favored to keep their record
clean, but the O'Neill Blues
have a chance with a spirited
rebound from last week's dull
performance at Creighton.
Ainsworth spoiled O'Neill's
record last year with a 13-6
triumph and the Arrows are
fairly well intact.
A large-scale migration of O’
Neill fans is predicted for the
1947 edition of an age-old ri
valry.
Meanwhile, on the o iseiii lot
Butte and St. Mary’s academy
will do battle in a six-man
show. The Cards are favored
over the Butte team, which was
hobbled by g r a d u a t i o n. St.
Mary’s won, 12-6, a year ago.
Other Friday games: Bassett
at Ewing, Chambers at Lynch.
Because of the annual teach
ers’ institute, next week’s O’
Neill high’s game will be played
on Wednesday instead of Friday.
It will be an afternoon affair
with Spencer as the opponent.
O’Neill won 25-0 last year.

NATIVES SPLIT ON
IRISH-HUSKER FUED
Die-hard O’Neill football
fans are divided with then
support in the Notre Dame
Nebraska football classic Sat
urday at South Bend, Ind., all
because Notre Dame’s illus
trous coach, Frank Leahy, is
a native.
The Irish are hot on the
trail of a national champion
ship and there are O’Neillites,
naturally, who want to see
the hometown boy make good,
even when it comes to playing
the state’s own university.
According to the Omaha
World-Herald’s sports editor,
Floyd Olds, the Saturday en
gagement at South Bend is
capable of being “one of the
most humiliating experiences
in Cornhusker football his
tory” if the Nebraskans don’t
produce better football than
they did in last week’s 14-7
win over Iowa State. Olds
scolded Coach Bernie Master
son’s pupils for a lack of firt
and spirit.
NOUN'S SUM
IN 10-DAY HUNT
Pheasant Population at
All-Time Low; Season
Opens Saturday
With the pheasant population
down to what some observers
believe is an all-time low, the
10-day open-season beginning at
noon Saturday bids well to be
one of the least interesting in
history.
The usual migration of
hunters from Omaha, Lincoln
and out-of-state points is ex
pected to drop-off sharply
this year. Hotel proprietors
report only a few reservations.
Normally, hotels and private
rooming houses overflow with
nimrods.
The Nebraska pheasant popu
lation is down 35 percent from
last year, when many a hunter
stomped all-day without getting
in a half-dozen shots.
Hours for the 10-day hunt
this year are from noon to sun
set. It is unlawful to shoot hen
pheasants and the bag and pos
session limit is two birds. The
season closes at sunset on Octo
ber 27.
'Little House' Entertains—
CELIA—The Ray Pease fami
ly has had lots of company th •
past week. Mr. and Mrs. Victor
Frickel, twin sons, Harold and
Garold, and son, David Lee,

and Mrs. George Reed, of Loup

Spann, of Atkinson, were Sun
day dinner guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Reed left Sun
day for their home near Loup
City, planning to stop at CXd
to visit Gene Barnett, Mrs.
Reed’s nephew. Gene was fly
ing instructor at the O’Neill
airport some years ago. Mr.
and Mrs. Vem Wilbern and Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Wilbern were oth- I
er callers at the R. L. Pease
home this week. They stopped
in for a view of the Little
House and a few minutes chat.
Other callers were Mr. and
•s. Ralph Chace, of Atkin on,
Mr. Chace’s brother from Clear
water, and his sister and niece
i from Omaha, Mrs. Willard Lin
ville, of Atkinson, and Spoof
Chace, of Atkinson. Mr. Chace s
relatives wanted to see “that
woman who writes” and the rest .
of the Chace’s had never been
out to the Little House, so they
came along.
Attends Dental Meet—
Dr. L. A. Burgess motored
Sunday to Albion where he at
tended a meeting of a Dental
Study group of which he was
organizer. The meeting took
place at the office of Dr. W. P
