Tigers Annex in Final Minute " ■ m Drop Balers 13-7 in Thriller ATKINSON— Jack Sisson, Ewing's 150-pound baekfield gem, flipped a 50-yard touch down pass to his mate, Sonny Carl, with less than a minute re maining here Friday night. The TD enabled Coach Fritz Reifert’s Ewing high Tigers to post a 13-7 victory over Atkinson Balers in a battle of two Holt county foes. It was a see-saw game until the Sisson-Carl spectacular. The game had been scoreless until the final period. Ewing broke the ice and grab bed 6-0 lead. The Balers bounced back with a touchdown and add ed the point, making the count 7-fl it was a fourth down when the Sisson-Carl combination went to work, on the Frank Merriwell finish. Uutil that moment the Tigers had not yet connected on an aerial. However, the Sisson Carl aerial duo had worked suc cessfully in earlier games. The Tigers converted the ex tra point, with only seconds re maining, on the old-fashioned "sleeper’ play. Reiferts kids, who lost to Bas sett in the ragged opener, now own three victories and one de feat Coach Marv Boesen’s Balers have won one of three starts. Dads of the Balers were hon ored. They were seated on a jipecial bench. A large crowd, in cluding scads of Ewing partisans, witnessed the game. Sisson is a senior. Carl, 16, is a 176-pound junior. Mr. and Mrs A. E.

Interception Paves Creighton Victory Bulldogs Outplayed but Win 6-0 An 'ill-fated flat pass from Quarterback Fred Eby intended for End Bob Young was inter cepted by a ft«t Creighton Bull dog here Friday night. Johnnie Sucha, who pirated the ball, gal loped 70 yards for the only touch down of the evening and pro duced a 6-0 win for Creighton over the O’Neili high Eagles. The nifty interception, with not a defender in position to do anything about it, enabled Sucha to ramble untouched and un troubled. It also enabled the vis iting Bulldogs to keep their per fect record intact. Coach Marvin Miller’s Eagles ground out seven consecutive first downs in a desperate at tempt to score late in the game, but they lost the ball on a fum ble after getting to the Creigh ton 20. Sucha's exhibition came in the third period. It was a heartbreaker for the Lagles, who outdowned the Maroons, 9-2, and outyarded them by a margin of two-to ene. Sucha’s interception was the only O’Neill aerial that went astray. The Blues during the evening completed three out of four tries. The Blues also threatened in the third period when they forg ed to the Creighton 8, only to lose the ball on downs. That was the closest either team had pen etrated during the evening—ex cept, of course, for Johnnie (Frank Merriwell) Sucha. O’Neill was obliged to punt only three times; Creighton had to kick on five occasions, A large crowd saw the show with Knox countyans here in force. Skip McKwnny played a whale of a game offensively for Mil i ler’s club while the entire line ; turned in a big job—holding the | highly-regarded Bulldogs to a i pair of first downs. Doing the ' bulk of the defensive chores in the line were Ben Devall, Mcl i vin Luben, Gordon Fox, Jim Tomlinson (who moves to full back offensively), Marvin and Robert Young. The Eagles will entertain the Ainsworth club beat Bassett, park Friday night. Ainsworth last week surprised the Valen tine Badgers, 25-0, in a game played at Ainsworth. Earlier, the Ainsworth club had spanked Cards Romp Niobrara; Knights Are Next With an impressive 39-7 win over the visiting Niobrara Lions, previously undefeated, Coach Don Templemeyer’s St. Mary's academy Cardinals last Thursday night moved to the undisputed top of the Niobrara Valley eight man grid conference ladder. Niobrara came to town un seorcd upon. But the wreckers from academy hill changed that while a huge crowd looked on. Gene O’Neill blocked a Nio brara kick and enabled the Scar let offensive to start rolling from the Lions’ 21. Tom Schnei der raced for 10 around his own left end. Four plays later Jerry McGinn romped across untouch ed. The Card defenders kept the Lions in check until the offensive took over on the SMA 31. The Hilltoppers ground out the dis tance with Big Tom going over from the 1. He chipped an ankle bone and had to leave the field. Possibly he will be lost for the season. Before the half ended Jim McGinn sped eight yards on an end-around to give the Cards a comfy 18-0 halftime margin. Until the midway point the Scarlet defenders—Bruce Weicr, Larry Donohoe, Gene O’Neill, Jim Hickey and Larry Tomlinson — had allowed the Lions only one yard net gain. Opening the second half, Jim McGinn intercepted a pass and rambled 20 yards to score. Soph Bill Craig, replacing in jured Schneider, ran well and added the fourth TD when he i shook loose for a 21-yard junket early in the fourth period. Jerry McGinn wrapped up the SMA scoring with a three-yard hustle to pay territory. Ronnie Bransiter, .Niobrara back, broke loose through the middle for 19 yards and Nio brara’s only TD. The Lions threatened in the third when they intercepted and ran to the Cardinal six, but the Ztards tossed ’em back to the 11 i refore taking over. Tom Donohoe went the route * as SMA quarterback, mixed plays well and had the drop on! the Lions. Defensive play of | Weier and Tomlinson sparkled, j Jerry McGinn booted five out of i seven kicks into the endzone. Templemeyer’s kids will enter tain the Sacred Heart Knights of Norfolk tonight (Thursday). The Norfolkans sport a 3-1 record, having romped Davenport 33-14 in the Stephen Elder bowl game at Chester last week. The Knights defeated West Point Guardian Angels, 13-0, and Leigh, 39-13. The Knights’ only setback was banded by St. Mary’s of David City, an 11-man club, unbeaten in three seasons, 13-27. Sacred Heart boasts Tony Tu ma, 240 pounds; Don McVaney, 220, and Mike Murphy, 185. Ralph Vincent is rated as one of tiie good quarterbacks, kickers and passers in the state. Resides Captain Schneider, the Cards will be without Jim Froe lich, Jim Becker and Larry Cleary, all on the shelf with in juries. \ Lynch Wrecks Butte Party BUTTE— The Lynch entry in the Niobrara Valley conference pulled something of an upset Friday evening by blanking the favored Butte team. 37-0, and spoiling the Butte homecoming. The Lynch club uncorked 25 points in the final period. Johnny Weeder accounted for three touchdowns to lead the Lynch offensive. Roger Sixta scored two and Rex Carson add «d one. Crowned homecoming royalty were Erwin Rieser, king, and Carol Wells, queen. Sharon Han ke and Douglas Dix were junior attendants. Chet Wilson and Mrs. William Tiefenthaler were crowned alumni royalty. There Was a snake dance in the streets following the corona tion. But all the fuss couldn’t stop the victory-minded Lynch eight-manners the following night. • • SECTION 2 PAGES 11-14 The Frontier SPORTS Page Nips Royal in Baseball— PAGE — Page high was vic torious in the first ball game of the school year 7-5. played with | the Royal team.
