NELIGH-O’NEILL
‘WELL MATCHED’
Coach Marv Miller Sees
‘Good Game’ Friday
at Neligh
Friday night’s renewal of an
old-fued—Neligh vs. O’Neill—
promises to be "a good, weu
matched game,” according to
Coach Marv Miller, O Neill |
high mentor. The game will
be played under the Neligh
lights, beginning at 8 p. m.
Both teams were hit hard
by graduation in the Spring
and both Miller and Coach
Dick Fisher have been obliged
to rebuild.
Fullback Dick Rice, War
rior sparkplug, was lost for
the remainder of the season
with an arm injury a fort
night ago. Rice had been
Neligh's chief scoring threat
for two seasons.
On paper the Warriors
should win. Neligh bested Ew
ing in the season’s opener,
while Ewing recently spanked
O’Neill. The Ewing Tigers,
however, displayed marked
and steady improvement as
the season moved alotig. Plain
view walloped O’Neill, 27-7, in
the season’s o p ener, but
squeezed by Neligh, 6-0. O -
Neill, likewise, has made con
siderable improvement since
the Plainview debut.
The Eagle’s record:
Plainview 27, O’Neill 7.
Bassett 7, O’Neill 6.
O’Neill 18, Creighton 7.
Ainsworth 38, O’Neill 6.
O’Neill 7, Stuart 0.

Tigers Bury Battle Creek, 31-6
Need Newman Grove Win
Friday to Clinch
Cornbelt Crown
EWING — Ewing high
school’s football team moved
closer to the Cornbelt confer
ence crown Wednesday night,
October 27, when it trimmed
Battle Creek, 31-6, at Ewing.
If the Ewing gridders defeat
Newman Grove on Friday, No
vember 5, they will have the
title.
A record crowd attended the
j game. Ewing merchants clos
ed shop so all fans could see
i the game.
i Pruden and Sanders each
scored two touchdowns for
Ewing, with Cloyd taking the
ball over once. Bartee tnade
Battle Creek’s score by snaring
a long pass from T. Hinzman
and scampering 55 yards.
Ewing made 17 first downs
rushing to Battle Creek’s one.
Battle Creek connected for
five first downs by passing,
while Ewing only made two.
In yards gained by rushing
the ball, Ewing netted 311 to
Battle Creek’s 37. Battle Creek
earned 124 yards by passing to
Ewing’s 55.
Ewing only had to punt
once, but when it did, J. Ro
dekohr ran the ball back for
over 20 yards and put Battle
Creek in midfield position.
Battle Creek missed the sup
port of H. Preauner, who
was unable to play because
; of an injury.
Early in the game, Ewing
unleashed the driving power
which has characterized its
winning Streak of four
straight. It took the kickoff on
its own 20-yard line and
marched down the field for a
touchdown. Cloyd took the
ball over on a hand-off from
the three-yard line.
Ewing scored again in the
first quarter after a pass, for
a 40-yard gain, Sanders to
Bennett, set the stage for Pru
den to drive off-tackle on a
fake reverse for the 21 yards
he needed to cross the line.
Early in the second quarter,
Battle Creek opened up with a
passing attack which looked
ominous for Ewing, but Sand
ers stopped the assault by in
tercepting a toss which would
have put Battle Creek deep in
Ewing territory.
In a few minutes later
Ewing had chalked up three
first downs and a touch*
down, with Sanders carry
ing the ball around end j
from the seven-yard line. j
Ewing failed the third time
to convert.
Battle Creek Warriors came
back scrapping. They took
advantage of T. Hinzman’s in
terception of Sander’s pass,
and soon Bartee was scamper
ing down the field for Battle
Creek’s only score. In one
play, a pass from Hinzman to
Bartee, Batle Creek moved the
ball from their own 29 across
Ewing’s goal. Their place kick
fell short.
The second half started
strong for Battle Creek grid
ders, but a fumble in mid
field, recovered by Dierks, of
Ewing, stopped their chance
to make the going tough for
Ewing. Ewing marched down
the field for another touch
down, with Sanders scoring.
Cloyd on a reverse to make
the extra point.
In the fourth quarter. Battle
Creek kept trying to make its
air attack click for touch
downs, but as often as it
would get off a good pass for,
a substantial gain, Ewing line
men would retaliate by break
ing through to smear the pass
er.
In the final minutes of play.
I
Ewing combined running plays
with a pass, Sanders to Ben
nett, to put Pruden in a posi
tion to carry the ball from the
one-foot line for Ewing’s' fifth
touchdown. The game ended
with Battle Creek in posses
sion of the ball on Ewing’s 39.

the hunt. It was a sandburr.
Several, however, confessed
trouble in locating a duck’s
head. Refreshments were on

REPORT PHEASANT
HUNTING ‘FAIR’
Lots of Trudging Needed
to Scare Up Birds,
Hunters Say >
Pheasant hunting asr the sea
son opened over the weekend
was not too good, according
to most hunters. But with
colder weather, the prospects
should be better this weekend.
The balmy Indian Summer
weather was not conducive to
good hunting, and the com
mon grievance from the hunt
ers was that the birds were
hard to kick out.
On Sunday the fields were
filled with the army of
nimrods. Considering the
vast number of persons in
quest of the pretty roost
ers. only a relatively few
bagged their limit.
Few hunting parties of size
sighted enough birds to even
consider a limit.
M. J. Golden, proprietor of
the Golden hotel, reported a
"light season” in regard to
outstate hunters and persons
coming from a distance. In
previous seasons the hotel was
solidly booked for weeks in
advance.
Ambitious hunters who were
willing to trudge about five
miles for each bird, dragged
themselves home with the
birds.
