P::ths Punting ' Features Blue Win Eagles Hit Plainview 7-0 in Opener The O’Neill high Eagles met and defeated an evenly matched and o equally unpolished Plainview high grid team under the Carney park lights Friday night. Fullback Duane Booth’s toe spelled the big difference be tween the two teams. All eve ning he set the ball down where the Plainview safety guy wasn’t and thereby kept the Plainview offensive behind the eight ball. Twice he hoisted the ball outof bounds inside the Plainview 10. Both clubs, obviously unfin ished in their first-of-the-sea son lessons, fought on fairly even terms to the complete sat isfaction of a large crowd, as far as early season football is con cerned. Both clubs lost heavily last spring by graduation. A Pirate fumble in the first quarter gave O’Neill the ball on the enemy’s 35. George Kilcoin swept left end for pay dirt but a clipping penalty 20 yards from the play cost the TD, which was called back. The game was see-saw most of the way with Booth’s toe keeping the visitors fairly well at bay, 'except Back Don Kokrda intercep ted one of Quarterback Bobby Carroll’s flips and raced 60 yards to the O’Neill 18. Kokrda was away if he hadn’t made a fatal cutback. O’Neill’s Gaylen Hull, 183 pounds of tackle, came in fast irom behind and spilled him. The threat fizzled when O’Neill inter cepted. Plainview handed the Blues the ball with two fourth quarter fum bles and one of these proved fa tal. O’Neill rolled up a first and goal on the Plainview 7. Bobby Carroll squirted off tackle for the score. Dave Eby’s try for extra point was good. Coach Marv Miller’s kids were tackling hard but their blocking and timing were very ragged. The Blues go to Bassett Friday night. Ewing Tigers with 12 Vets Lose Opener EWING—Coach Dale Vander ford has 12 lettermen reporting for football practice.
