Injuries Plague
Cards in Loss
Bench Emptied A *
Greeley Cops
Rev. L. A. Portrey’s Sacred
Heart academy six - manners
from Greeley edged the valiant
St. Mary’s academy Cardinals,
21-18, under the lights in Carney
park here Friday night. Not only
was it a heart-breaker for the
Cards in their home debut for
the season, but the injury hex
literally cleared the bench for
Coach Bob Berigan.
Three Cards were hurt in three
successive plays and in the final
stanza Coach Berigan seriously
considered using the water boy—
his only companion on the bench.
Th* Cards *con*d first when
Ray Donohoe intercepted a
Green Tide pass and ran to
Greeley's 25, having covered
40 yards. On the second play,
George Tomlinson gathered in
a pass in the end zone. The
PAT try was blocked.
The Greeley Irish roared back
with Curran carrying about 25
yards to score. The conversion
was good and Sacred Heart led
7-6.
Greeley threatened again but
the Cards held on their own 20
when the visitors had a fourth
down with only one yard to go.
On the next play, Donohoe lat
eraled wide to St. Mary’s Dick
Graham, a scat, who ran 60 yards
to score. The PAT try was futile
but St. Mary’s led 12-7.
Later, Greeley was forced to
punt and Donohoe, taking the
ball on his own 30, covered 50
yards to score SMA’s third—and
final—TD Again the conversion
failed.
Cahill registered a touchdown
for the Shamrocks and the half
ended, 18-14, the visitors having
scored poth PAT’S.
It was a costly first-half lead
! because Donohoe suffered torn
ligaments in his knee and he’ll
be either out or badly hobbled
i the rest of the season. Duane
Weier and Matt H3rr.es suf
fered leg injuries.
Curran scored in the third
period for Greeley, the PAT
try was good, and that ended
the evening's scoring, 21-18.
In the final stanza the Cards
were' crowding the Greeley goal
most of the time but couldn’t
convert. With 90 seconds remain
ing, the Cards enjoyed a first
down on the Greeley 1-yard-lme
and punched the pigskin across
only to have the TD nullified by
an offside penalty. The bid died
where the series of downs start
j el—on the Greleey 1.
Georgie Tomlinson played a
whale of a game for the Cards—
both offensively and defensively.
Berigan’s crew was playing
without the services of Tommy
Head and Jim Schmitz, who were
1 hurt in practice earlier in the
week.
Friday night’3 game with Mar
i ty Mission, S.D., has been cancel
led because of the injury epi
demic at SMA. Some of the
wounds are expected to be mend
ed by the date of the next game
—October 16, Lynch, here.
Stuart Triumphs
in 8-Man Tilt
STUART — The Stuart Bron
cos corralled the Wood Lake
Longhorns by a score of 14-6 last
Thursday with an eight - man
grid affair on the Stuart field.
Tlie Longhorns scored a touch
down in the first quarter and
held the Broncos scoreless until
the third quarters when the
Broncs started bucking. Paxton
and D. Brewster each made a
touchdown on pass plays.
The extra point was made after
each touchdown to make the fi
nal score 14-6.
Bassett Keeps Slate
Clean at Springview
BASSETT— The Rock county
high school football squad stays
in the ranks of Nebraska’s un
beaten prep teams. The Spring
view (Keya Paha county high)
Indians were last Thursday’s
victims, 32-6.
Mick Morton, great Bassett
back, hustled 43 yards to regis
ter a touchdown on the third
play of the game. Bassett led,
13-6, at the half. Gayle Bussinger
added two touchdowns for Bas
sett in the second half.
Triple Reverse
Nets Winning TD
Elgin Wins Thriller
from Chambers
_ CHAMBERS—The Elgin high
Eagles defeated the Chambers
high Coyotes, 19-12, on a wind
swept Chambers gridiron Friday
afternoon.
Gene Adams of Chambers
scooted around his own left end
for 40 yards to register the first
touchdown of the game.
Gary Schall took a 20-yard
pass from Gary Johnson and
rambled 12 yards to pay dirt for
Elgin's first marker. Bill Flem
ing converted on a running play,
giving the Eagles a 7-6 first quar- j
ter margin.
Ron Haake. Chambers right
half, circled his own right end
for 20 yards to give the Coyotes
their second TD. Elgin retaliated j
when Gary Schall, on a reverse,
crashed over from the Chambers
15. Elgin led 13-12 at intermis
sion.
The third quarter was a see
saw affair with wind and dust
the chief grievance for both
teams.
In the final stanza, with only
four minutes remaining, Elgin
Quarterback Gary Johnson scor
ed from the Chambers 19 on a
nifty triple reverse.
J i m Tangeman, Chambers
quarter, failed to get into the j
scoring column but played a j
whale of a game. Johnson and j
Bobby Anderson were big guns '
for Elgin.
A play-by-play description was j
broadcast by WJAG (780 k.c.) j
with Glen Hixson and Jerry j
Clark at the mike. The broad- j
cast was sponsored by Elgin mer- j
chants. It was the first remote j
control radio broadcast ever to j
originate from the south-Holt
county town of Chambers.

O’Neill Wallops
Creighton, 34-0
Booth Runs Wild for
Eagles
The O’Neill Eagles roared the
length and breadth of the Creigh
ton Maroons' playground Friday
night and registered a 34-0 vic
tory. The Blues outdowned then
roes, 18-3, and ONeill was obliged
to kick out only once, Creighton
five times.
It was an O’Neill show from !
start-to-finish—the Blues show
ing more heft, experience and
savvy in every- department.
O’Neill’s first touchdown re
sulted when Duane Booth ran 50
yards off - tackle in the first
quarter. Harold Dexter scored
from 15 yards out for O'Neill's I
second TD in the same stanza.
Eddie Gatz hit pay dirt after
being sprung off - tackle and
traveling 60 yards. This was in I
the second stanza.
Dexter manufactured the
fourth TD in the third, scoring
from 10 yards out, and Big Booth
plunged from the 2 to end the
touchdown marathon. Booth also
kicked four out of five extra
points.
Best offensively for the Blues
were Booth, Dexter, Waren Se
ger, Larry- Chace and Gatz. Best
on defense were Dew-ayne De
Vall, Lyle Davis, Russell Miner
and Duane Alton.
Chace did a brilliant job of
running back the opening kick
off for a TD but the play- w-as
nullified because the office's
ruled he stepped out of bounds.
The Blues go to Ainsworth Fri
day night. Both Ainsworth and
O’Neill have been defeated by
Bassett.
