Ainsworth Hit By Eagles, 34-12 Eddie Gatz Turns in Long Runs Those improving O'Neill high Eagles spotted the Ainsworth Bulldogs a one-touchdown half time margin Friday night at Ainsworth, then roared back with a three-TD spurt in the fourth stanza that sent the Ainsworth partisans to their homes with something to talk about for a long time. Final score: O’Neill 34, Ainsworth 12. Fleet Eddie Gatz led the sec ond half offensive, show with a 70-yard off-tackle ramble in the third and a 50-yard end romp in the fourth. Ainsworth outdowned the vic tors, 14-13, but it was one of those situations in which the bulk of O’Neill’s offensive yard age was gobbled up on scoring plays. Ainsworth scored first when Fulback Cozad took a pass on the O’Neill 15 and eased across. The ’Dogs had employed a series of line plays to move into position They had a fourth down and 12 to go when they uncorked the successful TD plan. O’Neill then drove to the Ains worth 3 from where Fulback Du ane Booth smashed across early in the second quarter. Booth's kick for point-after-touchdown was good and O’Neill moved ahead, 7-6, for the first time in the game. me bagies were to hear again from Big Boy Cozad, who plays both at full and in the tailback spot. He went off-tackle from the 4 to put the Bulldogs ahead 12-7. Gatz’s long jaunt in the third fired the Blues, who proceeded to make hay from then on out. The Bulldogs began to will when Back Harold Dexter skirled end io score in the early portion of the fourth. Mr. Gatz turned in a 50-yard sprint to pay territory and Lar ry Chace got into the scoring column with a 2-yard push. Booth’s toe worked for PAT’s four out of five tries. O’Neill tried six passes, completed four; Ains worth completed seven out of 11. There were no pass interceptions and O’Neill was obliged to kick only once; Ainsworth, twice. Both sides fumbled four times and recovered twice. A large crowd was on hand to witness the game played under the Ainsworth arcs, including a sizeable representation from O’ Neill. O’Neill linemen standing out were Dewayne DeVall, Duane Alton and Warren Seger. The Eagles have won three out of five starts, having lost on ly to Bassett, 0-25, and having played Plainview to a scoreless tie. The Blues have downed Bur well, Creighton and Ainsworth in their last three starts. The chart shows O’Neill has completed 21 out of 38 pass tries in the five games played todate. This week Coaches Marv Mil ler and Paul Baker will be giving their charges a rest with an open date. ‘N’ Club Plaque to Stuart High STUART—Stuart high school was one of six schools in Nebraska honored by the University of Ne braska when it received a Nebra ska “N’’ club scholarship plaque.

It Bappened Is NEBRASKA-•• Always the hub of frontier activity, the “smithy” was in constant demand for wagons, plows, horseshoes. Here the first blacksmith shop in West Union shows a typical sod hut. In those days the blacksmith was every bit as important as the gas station attendant, mechanic and farm implement dealer is to us today. In pioneer days, taverns were far cruder, too. What a difference today—with the Nebraska tavern owner playing an im portant role in community life, and being regarded by all as a respected business NEBRASKA DIVISION United States MhT 9 Brewers foundation **IOU* | t** r-1 •»-" ■—I.
