Eagles Hit
Atkinson in
50-0 Romp
Marv Miller’s Kids
Finish Season with
S Wins, No Losses
(By a Staff Writer)
ATKINSON—Ho hum.
O’Neill 50; Atkinson 0.
Except that all departments
were functioning with method
ical precision, the traditional At
fcdnson-O’Neill grid classic might
have been interesting.
But Coach Marv Miller’s
Sagles couldn’t sputter, couldn't
falter, and didn’t err as they
rolled to a lopsided triumph over
<Q«ce mighty Atkinson Balers.
The Balers, who have been
enjoying something less than
am impressive season, simply
couldn't fathom the sheer
power and deception in the O
Neill attack. The Eagles stuck
to the ground awhile, then took
to the air, then churned away
On the surface for a spell, and
racked up seven touchdowns,
five extra points and one field
goal with the greatest of ease.
It was the season's finale for
both clubs.
For the Eagles it marked the
eighth win in a perfect season.
It was finis for these Blues—
Davey Eby, Bob Carroll, Ronnie
Bazelman, Galen Hull and Ed
Davis, all regulars. Possibly
Georgie Kilcoin, too. Georgie is
a junior and his age might make
him ineligible next season—de
pending on eligibility rulings
now under consideration.
This writer doesn’t want to
bore you with a detailed run
down on the Eagles’ scoring on
the Atkinson grid Friday night,
but for the record this must be
stated:
Kilcoin slashed off his own
right tackle for the first marker
sifter O’Neill had kicked-off to
Atkinson, the Balers were held
*md forced to punt, and the Blues
^ate up a hunk of yardage with a
pass down the middle to End
Warren Seger. Kilcoin tried left
<end for the extra point and
tnissed. Score 6-0.
Fullback Duane Booth smash
ed over on a close-in line buck
lor the second TD. O’Neill had
lacked again to Atkinson, again
the Balers were held and were
'bbliged to punt, and the Blues
roared down to the goal line
when Mr. Booth rammed the
wall. Eby’s kick was good. Score
*3-0.
Fleet Georgie scampered about
*7 yards for the third TD, end
ing the first period. Eby’s place
ment try was no good. Score
19-0.
Seger took an Eby pass and
romped 30 yards in the second
period. Booth added the point
with a kick. Score 26-0.
Eby intercepted a Baler aeriiil
and ran 15 yards into pay terri
tory. Booth’s kick was good
Score 33-0.
Ho hum. Intermisison.
Bobby Carroll got into the
scoring act in the third period
with a 10-yard scamper and
Booth’s kick was good. Score
40-0.
Seger, who was snagging
nifty throws from Eby, took
one over the middle and went
the distance. Booth added the
point. At t^e end of the third
the score: 47-0.
Bv now Miller was using sub
stitutes freelv but the pushover
aspects didn’t change. Miller or
dered: “No more TD’s.”
Next time the Eagles neared
the goal Bespectacled Mr. Booth
shined his glasses and booted a
field goal from the 20. Score
5^-0.
Only once did the Balers get
beyond the 50-yard stripe. A
oass. Puckett to Dunn, advanced
the Balers to O’Neill’s 40 where
it v'as lost on downs.
Ed Davis and Gav Hull played
t°rr'fic ball offensivelv and de
fensively. They lorded it over
opposing linemen all evening.
Ho hum.
Hull. Eby Elected
Honorary Captains—
Gav Hull and Davey Eby were
elected honorary cocaptains for
the 1952 O’Neill high grid team.
Election took place Tuesday.
‘Better Balanced
Chorus This Year’
Practical matters claimed as
much attention of the Civic chor
us this week as the musical
matters.
First, the Chamber of Com
merce announced that it would
again sponsor this year’s annual
presentation of Handel’s “Mes
siah” as it did last year. In so
doing, the Chamber promises to
underwrite all expenses. This
will guarantee sufficient funds
to pay for advertising, programs
and perhaps the hiring of guest
soloists.
At its Monday evening rehear
sal, the chorus elected a board
of directors to manage its affairs
and plan general policies. Head
ing the board as its chairman is
R. W. Johnson. Other members
are Mrs. Lee Brady, Mrs. Harold
Seger, Mrs. John Watson and
Delbert Dick.
“This year’s chorus is pro
gressing nicely,” according to
Mr. Houser. The group is better
balanced than last year and
promises to offer a more polish
ed version.
The program is planned for
Sunday, December 14, at 3 p.m.
in the public school auditorium.
Soloists and other plans will be
announced later.

Cardinals Win,
Lose During Week
Elgin' Walloped but
St. Ed Tough
The St. Mary’s academy Car
dinals wrapped up the 1952 grid
season with one win and one loss
during the past week.
Under the Carney park lights
on Friday night they spanked El
gin high six-manner, 51-24, in a
free-scoring thriller, and in an ar
mistice day battle at St. Edward
the Joe George crew was trim
med, 7-34.
Lead All the Way
• When the Cards uncorked
against Elgin in the finale before
the homefolks they led all the
way. The first touchdown came
on the second play of the game.
Jerry Wanser galloped 26 yards to
9core. A pass netted the extra
point. Fullback Wayne Donohoe
bucked eight yards for the second
TD and a pass netted the extra tal
ly. The Hilltoppers’ third touch
down resulted when Wanser was
trapped and he lateraled to Dono
hoe who rambled across. The
pass try for extra point was good,
giving SMA a 21-0 margin.
Elgin got its first TD when End
Scholl, who also plays in the
backfield, crashed over the the 6
after a long march.
Dcnchoe gave the crowd a
thrill when he rambled 70 yards
for SMA's fourth TD. Ander
son of Elgin countered with a
66-yard gallop.
A pass to Wanser on the 32
yard line was completed and
Wanser waltzed into pay terri
tory. Score: 33-12.
Wanser counted again, taking a
flip on the Elgin 16. Anderson
intercepted a SMA flip after a
Jew exchanges. He took the oval
on the Card 39 and went the dis
tance. Score 39-18.
Dick Graham, The Frontier’s
printer’s devil, turned in some
nifty footwork with a 47-yard
sprint for the Cards. Score: 45-18.
Donohoe intercepted another
Elgin pass and galloped 72 yards
to score SMA’s final TD. Jerry
Sheets, Elgin back, ended the
scoring when he bucked across.
Final score: St. Mary’s 51, Elgin
24.
Sf. Ed in Fat First Half
The St. Edward six-man crew
racked up 34 points with the
greatest of ease during the first
half of the holiday classic at St.
Ed. But the margin built dur
ing the first two periods proved
too much for the bewildered SMA
Cards to overcome, although they
held St. Ed scoreless in the last
two periods.
The St. Ed scoring came on a
mixture of passing and running
plays. One TD came on the in
terception of an O’Neill bobble.
The Cards’ only TD came when
Dick Graham setup the ball on
the St. Ed 10 and Big Jerry Wan
ser hustled it across.
The St. Ed game climaxed the
season for the Cards who won
three and lost four.

Governor Orders
; Irrigation Hearing
Four public hearings will be
held in December on bureau of
reclamation plans for develop
ment of the Niobrara river basin,
State Engineer Harold L. Aitken
said this week.
The reclamation bureau of the
U. S. department of interior re
cently submitted to Gov. Val
Peterson for review and comment
a “preliminary draft of a proposed
report” concerning Niobrara de
velopments.
The hearings have been sched
uled as follows: O’Neill, Decem
ber ]6; Ainsworth. December 17:
Valentine, December 18, and Gor
don, December 19. Dan S. Jones,
jr., chief of the Nebraska bureau
of irrigation, will preside at the
meetings where reclamation bu
reau representatives will explain
development plans and interested
parties will be given the oppor
tunity to ask questions and to ex
press local reactions to the plans
and local willingness to cooperate
in the improvements under con
sideration.
The reclamation report pre
sents an inventory of the land
and water resources of the Nio
brara river basin and outlines
a plan for development of these
resources.
The proposal covers 14 inter
related operating units which
would provide for the irrigation
of about 144,000 acres of land and
the generation of about 200,000,
000 kilowatt hours of electric en
ergy annually, as well as recrea
tional, fish and wildlife benefits.
Suggested for early construc
tion in the draft of the plans are
the Lavaca Flats and Ainsworth
units. The proposed Lavaca Flats
unit would lie along the Niobrara
river in western Cherry county
and would consist of 3,150 acres of
land irrigated by pumping from,
the river. The proposed Ains
worth unit would consist of a
storage reservoir on the Snake
river in Cherry county and a sup
ply canal from the reservoir to
the 45,000 acres of the project
lands near Ainsworth and John
stown in Brown county.
Reclamation officials estimate
that the total cost of the plan for
developing the Niobrara basin
would be $215,000,000. The cost
of the Ainsworth unit is estimated
to be $25,000,000. The Lavaca
Flats unit would be about $900,
000, according to reclamation of
ficials
The final report on the basin
will not be submitted to congress
for authorization until after com
ments of Nebraska citizens and
Governor Peterson have been
made on the proposed report, Ait
ken said.
Thd hearing will be held at the
American Legion auditorium. A
series of informal preliminary
meetings is being arranged and
will be announced, probably
next week.
James W. Rooney of O Neill,
Lvle P. Dierks of Ewing and
Walter Ries of Atkinson are di
rectors of the Niobrara Basin
Development association.
