I SMA's Cardinals Punch Back Hard; Hit Stuart Bronchos 20 -12 Friday UHth fivto ,.i i c* pvi « *u— *—11- j *u_ i -ii e ~ Cardinals came back tc ning waj s of a year ago > hammered the Stuart >i 20 to 12 in a game packed with thrills, long and spectacular spills. It was as if another Cardinal team played before their home t wn crowd, their first battle on the new field. Perhaps the major difference between the Stuart game and that played at Hartington (Holy Trin ity t, last week was the indefinable substance you might call spirit, or will. Whatever it was, it seized the Cardinals and as a result Stuart felt the sting. Two Cardinals were injured, Ron nie Holly, an end, suffered a wrist injury in the first quarter and line backer Dick Cleary received a leg injury in the 2nd period. Both boys will be out of action temporarily. Here is a brief recapitulation of the game by halves: First Half Broncho Carl Clements scored for Stuart from the 1 after a brill iant 52 yard run by Jim Schmad erer. The try for conversion failed when Ronnie Holly pulled Schmad erer down from behind. For the remainder of the first half, the game hogged down. Both teams started drives but couldn't get an edge. Second Half Jim Shoemaker the Card’s "half back ", raced 72 yards on the third play of the 2nd half to score as the crowd came to their feet in a fren zy. Bill Hynes made the extra point. Gale Stevens plunged from the 1 and Hynes added the point to cap a 60 yard drive by the Cards. 15 straight plays as they rackr up 5 first downs on the marc. Schmaderer for Stuart roil c again and circled his left end to ‘-core from 7 yards out. Again the Bronchos failed to convert. From this point on it was the Car dinals all the way. and if ever they caught fire, it came now, at tiu third quarter mark. Stevens plunged from the 1 after racing 35 yards to the 5 when he literally stole the ball from the Stuart quarterback’s hands. Shoe maker then paved the way for the Cards again as he picked up 55 yards on bruising smashes to the center of the line. Here is the score by quarters: St. Mary’s 0 0 7 13 Stuart 6 0 0 « Stuart's liacKtield all underclass men showed brilliant football and gutty type against the massive St. Mary's line. Young Schmaderer, a sophomore, and Carl Clements, a freshman, played like three year lettermen. Statistics wise, the Cards did well in every department except passing-a fact that could be their undoing with "chips down” ball in the future if the problem isn’t solved. St. Mary’s also fumbled three times hut upon close exam ination you find that St. Mary’s also controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

Sch maderer was named star of the tveek by the World Herald last week. Fans really agreed that he was more than deserving. Fast Eagles Drop Plainview 20 -12 O’Neill listed another win Fri day night as the deceptive, light, and suprising Eagles struck down Plainview 20 to 12. This was their second straight win. O'Neill’s eight returning letter men showed plenty or football savvy as they turned the disadvantage of fewer first downs into winning drives. Plainview received 26 to O’Neiil r ?° O’Neill fans are pleased with Jake Hawley, the high school's new football coach. He led his toys exceptionally well against an over whelmingly larger Plainview team. The Eagles were outweighed on the average, per man, by 16 pounds. Here is a rundown of the key plays by halves: First Half In the first quarter O'Neill drove down to Plainview's .4 but failed to score when they lost the ball on downs. This was to to an indicat ion of much of the grinding foot ball that followed. Often, both Plainview anil O'Neill would drive deep into enemy territory only to be held back by solid defensive play. In the second quarter Dennis Tomlinson, Eagle guard (sec fea ture picture on this page) recover-, cd a fumble on his own 40 anil then hiked to the 8 where he was tripped up by Plainview secondary. Jerry Kiicoin, O'Neill's 152' pound sopromore back, gouged for a near TD but O'Neill couldn't yet draw first blood. Shortly after the first touchdown, the Eagles drove the enemy 4 again only' to to held by a stiff It you don’t think O’Neill high has some defensive men, and good ones, study this picture closely: You'll find seven Eagles lairing in on one Plalnv'.ew back, Brunke, (Arrow).

Tomlinson suc cessfully converted. Shortly after the first TD, Larry Code I. a 135 iiourid senior back for the Eagles intercepted a pass on the Plainview 40. Kilcoin then carri ed 3 yards. The next play fired the O'Neill fans. It was Kilcoin again on a d mMe reverse and he trotted 32 yards for a touchdown. O’Neill failed to convert. Second Half Plainview came hack with veng ance early in the first quarter and scored on a pass play and run combination from Brunkc, th.1 quarterback, to Hinrichsen. In the fourth quarter Plainview scored again on a long pass play. With 7 Vi* minutes to play Larry Godel, who turned in the finest defensive game of the day, inter cepted a pass on his own 11 and re turned it to the Plainvievv 23, a run of 63 yards. It served to break ; the backs of Plainvievv and was 1 without a doubt, the key play of the game. Kilcoin then went over from the opponents' 8 after a first down. Tomlinson converted successfully again. In singling out ball players, fans I would find trouble selecting an i over-all top man for the Eagles. Tomlinson, Donlin, Godel and Kil coin all showed brilliantly.

T.D. Happy Ewing's 11 Rolls 26 - 6 EWING Ewing football fans roared their satisfaction and ap proval Friday night when then favorites dropped Pilger to 6 Hungry for a win alter a heart breaking loss last week at the hands (if Bassett, the Ewing boyt poured on the steam in the second quarter and never quit until the final gun. Here is a quarter by quarter description of play: 1st Quarter Both teams bogged down in the first quarter. Neither could get their offense working ami the hall remained near the 50-yard line during much of the play. Slid Quarter Early in the second period, Gary Eacher, quarterback for Ewing couldn’t hit his man with a pitch out and Pilger recovered on the Ewing 15-yard line. Minutes later Pilger drew first blood but failed to convert. With 4 minutes left to play in j the first half, Ewing started a drive from their own 40-yard line and went all the way. Eacher scor | ed from 5 yards out and Ewing converted. The crowd went into a frenzy from this point on as Ewing again got possession of the ball ami I Doug Shrader, Ewing center, fell ion a fumble in the end zone. The i half-time gun sounded and the score was 13 to 6, Ewing’s favor. 3rd Quarter Ewing scored on an intercepted pass in the third period. Harold Parks, left half for Ewing de served the credit this time. His teamates then converted. 4th Quarter The final Ewing tally came when Gary Eacher passed to I,eon JHahlbeck in the fourth period. Gary Tessmer, Ewings foot ball mentor had high praise for his boys after the game. He singl ixi out Eacher, Hahlbeck and Parks on offense, and Tom Koenig on de jfense. Shrader, Wright and Tams also played good defensive ball. Fullback Ronald Cloyd was out of action for the game after suffer ing a minor injury. Coach Tessm jor expects him to run for the up coming game, however. One of the most interesting games next week appears to be the Stuart-Ewing clash in Ewing. Stuart, with a fast, tough hack field, with plenty of savvy and only lacking in weight, will give Ewing fans a chance to do some real rooting.

NOVOO CHEVROLET WITH REVOLUTIONARY ic^IORSIOMSPRING Chevy's done the next best thing to paving every road In America I First they threw out the front axle and put in torsion-spring independent suspension. Then they built wide-base coif rear springs into most light-duty models, variable-rate leaf springs into heavies. That made it—a ride that completely eliminates I-beam shimmy and wheel fight, lets you move faster over any ground to get more work done in a day. Brawnier bulldozer build! They’re tougher than any Chevy trucks ever made. Frames are stronger, cabs 67% more rigid. Front wheels and tires are precision-balanced. And that new suspension cushions jars and road shock that used to spell slow death for the truck’s body and sheet metal. More comfortable cabs! Easier to hop in and out of too. Many models are a whole 7 inches lower outside. Yet there’s more head room inside, plus more width for shoulders and hips. The windshield’s bigger, with a wider, safer sweep of vision. Suspended pedals givo you more foot room. Big in the power department! With the industry’s most advanced gas-saving G’s. Writh high torque Workmaster V8 performance in heavyweights. With new G-cylinder or V8 power available in new Low Cab For ward models. More models than ever! New 4-wheel-drive mode! ? and tandems and high-styled Sub urban Carryalls. It’s the handsomest, hardest working Chevy t' et ever to report for duty. See your dealer for the whole f y and, by all means, take a ride.
