Cards Triumph in 27-24Thriller St. Patrick’s Makes Strong Scoring Bid at Close Coach Jack Arbuthnot's St. Mary’s Cardinals made a strong finish at Carney park field Thursday night to win the sea son’s opener, 27-24, from St Patrick’s, of Fremont. St Pat’s took an early lead in a commanding way. The vis itors ran back the opening kick off about 65 yards to make the count 6-0 with the game only a few minutes old. A dropkick try after touchdown failed. The Cardinals countered with a TD after a series of line plays Backs John Joe Uhl end Don Donohoe skirted the ends and smashed the middle to pile up the yardage, then Donohoe romped across a round his own right end from the 6. A running play gave the Hill toppers the extra point that put them ahead 7-8. Before the first stanza ended, St. Patrick’s had chalked up an other—using a mixture of aerial and surface plays. St. Pat’s second quarter TD was setup on a piece of luck. O’Neill blocked a punt, the ball went straight up, a Fremonter fielded it and shot a forward into the arms of a teammate— the play netting 35 yards. Sever al passes and ground plays later the scoreboard read: St. Pat’s 18; St. Mary’s 7. And that’s how the half ended. In the third, the Cards warm ed up considerably after first half jitters. Uhl and Donohoe shared most of the load with strictly ram-rod tactics. They tallied a touchdown apiece and Uhl ran for an extra point. The visitors pushed across a TD in the same period with their usual mixture of land and ground tactics. In the air the Cards were weak. Gerry Wills, quarterback, was not up to usual form and his receivers were not doing theii chores properly. Consequently all of O'Neill’s yardage was gained on the ground. Going into the final period, the Cards were trailing 20-24. Hard driving on the part of Uhl and Donohoe moved the pigskin down to where Dono hoe succeeded in ploughing across. The Card’s try was good anc that ended the scoring—27-24. nut £>t. Mary's partisans had their uneasy moments during the dying minutes. Fremont had 1 the ball on St. Mary’s 4 with a 4th down coming up. A pass was shot to a Fremont end, who caught the ball just outside the endzone. Possession went to St. Mary’s and the game ended. Arbuthnot was pleased with his ground attack but was dis pleased with his defense and aerial work. “St. Pat had a mighty good team and we were awfully lucky to beat them,” he said. Jim Kelly, regular Card cen ter, saw the game from the side lines. He suffered a sprained ankle in practice, will be back for the Cathedral, of Lincoln, go on Friday night.
