Eagles Down Bassett 38-20; Run Win Streak to Twelve
♦
Friday night, Jake Hawley,
coach of the O’Neill High football
team, swept the bench as the Ea
gles won their twelfth straight
game, beating Bassett 38-20. It
was the second conference win
for the Eagles and they now only
have to beat Ainsworth for the
Eastern In vision championship of
the Rangeland conference,
O'Neill’s offense clicked be
hind good blocking. All of the
Eagle backs chopped off big yard
age in the high scoring affair.
On the other hand, the Eagles
defease lotted ratlier weak al
lowing Bassett to pick up 12 first
downs.
OHS received the opening kick
off and in a total of eight plays
Kikoin went in for the TD irtsn
the seven. The score was set up
on a pass from Terry Kurtz to
the tall end Rich Hill. A piss
from Kikoin to Larson for the
extra point was incomplete and
the Eagles led 6-0.
With Sanger and Van Norman
doing the work, Bassett’s tricky
Junior quarterback, Jim Conn.ck
marched the Tigers to the ONeill
seven yd line before he, himself
carried it over for the touchdown.
Connick also tried to run for the
extra point, but he was stopped
short by Stan Schmiechel.
The Tigers kicked off and the
Eagles scored their second goal
with Curt Larson going over from
the 18, six plays later. O'Neill
failed once again on the extra
point try with Kurtz throwing an
incomplete pass to Hill
A wobbly kirk was fumbled by
Butler and the Eagles recovered
on the Tiger *19 yd. line. Medina
picked up one first and ten and
then after two incomplete pas
ses Khcoin skirted the right end
and raced 41 yds to paydirt. Curt
Larson scored the Eagles first
extra point of the season on a
uive piay ana u isem u-a m-o.
Bassett moved down to the Ea
gle's 6 yard line before they were
stapled by a fumble which was
recovered by Havranek. The O’
Neill team couldn’t get a drive
going and they were forced to
punt. Bassett controlled the ball
at the half.
The second half opened with
OHS kicking off. The kick was
once again fumbled by Bassett
and Stan Schmiechel grabbed the
lot>se ball on the Tigers 33 yd.
line.
On the first play from scrim
mage, Jerry Kilcoin took the ball
and went all the way to score.
Hurtz carried the ball for the ex
tra point giving O’Neill a 26 to 6
lead.
For the first time in the ball
game Bassett failed to pick up a
first down and they were forced
to pant. Five plays later Kurtz
chose to pass on a 4th and 4 situ
ation using Kilcoin as his target.
Kurtz connected and Kdcoin rac
ed on in to the end zone for a
37 yd pass, run combination. An
offside penalty cancelled the ex
tra point and OHS held a 32-6
lead at the end of the third quar
ter.
The Tigers struck back as Jack
Sanger evaded six Eagles tacklers
and r;iced 62 yards to score. The
try for extra point by Van Nor
man was good and the score read
38-13.
The OHS reserves played the
rest of the ball game with Hav
ranek and Larry Lieb doing a
fine job of running. Terry Kurtz
got O’Neill’s last touchdown of
the night on a quarterback sneak
from the 3 yard line. The extra
point attempt failed.
Bassett was dampered by poor
ball haivdling and they panted
to the Eagles. O’Neill made their
first miscue of the game when
Kilcoin fumbled the punt on O’
Neill's 46 yd line. The Tigers
marched to the three yard line
with Sanger topping the
drive with a 3 yd run for Bas
setts third and final TD. Van
Norman once again scored the ex
tra point and O’Neill led 38-20.
Bassett received the ball on
downs before the game ended.
• Bassett's quarterback, Connick,
received a cracked wrist and was
taken to the hospital in the sec
ond quarter. Sanger was the only
senior that saw much action in
the game so the Tigers definitely
have a bright future ahead ci
them. In talking with Welfring,
the Rock County coach he gave
a lot of credit to his two junior
guards, McClurg and Zahl, de
fensively and Connick, Van Nor
man and Sanger offensively.

Eagle field Friday at 7:30.

Cards to Host
St. Cecilia
Here Tonight
The SMA Cardinal* will be
locking for their third victory ul
the season and their sixth win in
a row over a two-year period, a*
they play host to the invad.ng St.
Cecilia Bluehawks from Hastings.
Tiie Academy outfit, locking
sharp in their first two contests,
hope to be able to mark up their
first win in the St. Cecilia-St.
Marys series. The Hawks won
the oi>ener two years ago 1R-14,
to hand ine Cards their only
home defeat in the last five years,
then rubbed salt in the wound last
year with a 21-7 victory.
The Bluehawks own a season
record of two wins and one tie,
both wins being over Class B
schools. Five foot eight inch, 1MJ
pound John Kealy is the big gun
m the St. Cecilia attack. Kealy,
fast and shifty, is playing his third
year as a regular. The entire
starting backfield of a year ago
is back for St. Cecilia as is five
of their linemen. Possessing both
size and speed the Hastings ele
ven could make it a long night
for the local squad.
The Cards though are not ex
pected to lie down and say die,
as they too, have a number of re
turning regulars. Unable to fea
ture a back with potential of Kea
ly, the Cards nevertheless will
parade five backs that have
shown considerable running abil
ity in their first two games. De
fensively the Cardinals will pre
sent the same tough forward wall
that has yet to allow a first down
rushing.
Probable starters.
