Collection of Pitchers
Is Redistributed
ATKINSON — The late Mrs.
L. G. Linville for many years
collected, as a hobby, pitchers of
all sizes, shapes and description.
Her collection grew until it
numbered in the hundreds. She
was very* fond of them because
most of them were gifts from her
many friends who had taken an
interest in her hobby.
They were displayed in cabi
nets and each had a small story
as to origin or as a sentimental
keepsake.
When Mrs. Linville died some
time ago, her collection went to
her daughter, Mrs. Ivan Dicker
son. Mrs. Dickerson has kept
them for a time as a cherished
part of her mother’s busy life
but Tuesday, September 27, she
gave a party for those who had
given her mother the pitchers
and returned them so that each
of her friends could add one
more line to the legend of his or
her own particular pitcher. It
once was a part of the collection
belonging to Mrs. Linville.

Bassett Knocks Off Eagles,
13-0, Friday Night
At Carney Park
In a football game marred
by frequent penalties, a fast,
low running Bassett club
dumped the slow, high run
ing O’Neill high school Eagles
13-0, here Friday night at
Carney park before an esti
mated crowd of 1,300 fans.
Unofficially, the game ref
erees measured off 135 yards
in penalties. Bassett absorbed
80 of the penalty yards.
The Eagles did not make a
threat throughout the game,
and it was not until late in the
fourth period did they penet
rate inside the visiting club’s
30- yard line.
On the first of the two TD’s,
Bassett scored late in the first
quarter, aided by an O’Neill
fumble.
After recovering the fumble
on the midfield stripe, Bas
sett’s Joe Richards, on a fake
handoff, pitched an underhand
lateral to Bob Baker who was
sweeping the Eagle left end. He
got up to the O’Neill 38-yard
line before he was dropped.
An off-tackle play netted
four yards and on the next play
Joe Richards worked the fake
handoff, pitch-out play that
sent Bobby Baker over for the
initial score.
The plunge for the extra point
was short.
The second canto was score
less.
During the third period, the
second and final six points came
after Bassett blocked an Eagle
punt and recovered the ball on
the host’s 20.
Les Bennett on the first play,
bulled his way nine yards to the
Eagle 11. Bob Baker made it a
first down on the nine-yard line
and then lugged the pigskin on
the following play to the six.
Joe Richards, on the next
play, started to sweep the O’Neill
right end but cut in sharply over
tackle to score standing up.
The end sweep for the extra
point was good and the final
score ended Bassett 13, O’Neill 0.
Bolh the Bassett forward
wall and the backfield did an
outstanding job both defens
ively and offensively. Out
standing men for the visiting
club were Joe Richards and
Bob Baker.
It was generally agreed that
the O’Neill line was doing a good
defensive job. However, the line
could not open holes long enough
for the backs to get through
them.
The Eagle backs were slow in
getting started and were running
upright which made them easy
prey for the low tackling Bas
| sett crew.
The Eagles tangle with Ewing
lor the Diamond Jubilee -
Fall Festival tilt here Friday,
September 30.

St. Mary’s ‘Six’ Plays
‘Iron Man’ Ball in
Capitol City
The St. Mary’s academy six
man football team Friday eve
ning took a 12-6 verdict at Lin
coln Cathedral. It was an upset
in six-man circles and the O’
Neill club played the entire
game without relief.
The “iron men” of the acad
emy, in their initial game of the
1949 season, took a six-point
lead in the first quarter when
Shorty Miles, the Cardinal’s out
standing back, zoomed around
his right end and ploughed 55
yards for the touchdown.
With the second and third
periods scoreless. Jack Arbuth
not's Cardinals, late in ihe
third canto, drove to the Lin
coln 2-yard-line But the Lin
coln line held and the hosts
took over as the third period
ended.
On the first play of the fourth
quarter, Jack Gatz, a Cardinal
end, dove on a Lincoln fumble in
the end zone for the second TD.
The score: St. Mary’s academy
12, Lincoln Cathedral 6.
The Lincoln crew took the
fourth period kickoff and scored
on a 22-yard end-around play
after driving from the Cathedral
20.
The Cardinals played heads-up
defensive ball throughout the
game which Coach Arbuthnot
termed ‘‘a very even match.”
By virtue of the victory, unof
ficial ratings of the state’s six
man teams, show St. Mary’s in
12th place.
Coach Arbuthnot commented
that the passing offense and de
fense were weak as was the of
fensive ground attack. But de
fensively, the Cardinals display
ed considerable talent.
Today (Thursday) the St.
Mary’s club journeys to Marty,
S. D. Arbuthnot said it is an In
dian school and the enrollment
was over 400. “With an enroll
ment as large as 400, I expect we
will be facing a tough team,”
Arbuthnot concluded.
During this week, the Cardi
nals drilled almost exclusively
on passing offense and defense
and their offensive ground at
tack.
