Eagles Sparkle In 27-6 Win.Over Valentine The weather was warm m O’ Neill on Friday, but Frost hit Va lentine. The result was a 27-6 O’ Neill High victory over the favor ed Badgers of Valentine on the Eagles' home field. The Frost we mentioned (and whom everyone seems to be talking about) is OHS senior Rich “Jack" Frost, who ran wild for 150 yards and three touchdowns in tlie season opener for both teams. O’Neill won the toss and return ed the opening kick-off to their own 38-yard line. Six plays later, junior halfback Larry Lieb car ried the ball into pay-dirt from the 16 to open the scoring. The try for the extra point failed. In the second quarter, the Eag les marched to the Valentine 26, but on fourtli and eight, scatback Ben Cool intercepted a Kurtz pass intended for Rich Frost and scampered 82 yards to account for the only Valentine scoring. The try for the extra point was no good. The Eagles bounced right back, though, this time covering 60 yards in eight plays with Frost sweeping the end for the last 18 yards. A pass from quarterback Terry Kurtz to end Rich Hill was good for the extra, and O’Neill led at hal-f-time by a 13-6 margin. Valentine stormed back the sec ond half, driving to the O'Neill 35-yard marker. But senior line backer Ron Kallhoff stopped the drive when he intercepted a pass and raced 45 yards before being brought down. The Eagles then scored late in the third quarter when Frost swept across from the five. Kurtz carried across the extra point and O’Neill led 20-6. The final O'Neill tally came in the fourth stanza when Rick De vall picked off a Badger pass. Again it was Frost scoring, this time on a two-yard plunge. Soph omore Ivan Hurley grabbed a Kurtz pass for the extra point. The victorious Eagles moved the ball for 328 yards on the ground, but the big disappoint ment (and about the only one for O’Neill fans) was the failure to move the ball in the air. Senior Terry Kurtz could complete only four out of nine attempts behind good blocking, and the passing attack was limited to 24 yards. When Valentine set their de fense to stop the power running of fullback Steve Peterson and the pass receiving of Rich Hill and company, the Eagle half backs had a field day sweeping the ends. Starting halfbacks Frost and Lieb averaged 11 and nine yards, respectively, accounting for more than half of the team’s total gains. The Eagle defense was surpris ingly tough, with Rich Hill, Dan Schaaf and Keith Krugman plug ging the front litx? and line-back ers Steve Peterson and Ron Kall hoff protecting the middle. Alert pass defenders picked off four Valentine aerial attempts, with Kallhoff accounting for two of them. Coach Jim Taylor paraded 26 squad members into the opening game, including: BACKS: Steve Peterson, Larry Lieb, Rich Frost, Terry Kurtz, Don Havranek, Dennis Wells, Ron Kallhoff and Bob Halstead. ENDS: Gary Plessell, Rich Hill, Ivan Hurley, Larry Obst, Denny Drayton, and Dennis Spangler. TACKLES: Charles Hill, Keith Krugman, Don Lindquist, John Baker and Gary Wettlaufer. GUARI5S: Greg Derickson, Kent Peterson, Brian Richter, Jay McCoy and Dan Schaaf CENTERS: Rick Devall and Dewey Newton.

Lynch Eagles Whip Coleridge 20 to 6 Friday LYNCH — The Lynch Eagles defeated the Coleridge bulldogs 20- 6 behind the great defensive play of a strong Lynch line led by 220 lb, sophomore, Virgil King, with Ted Zach, l>wight Stewart, Quentin Pickering and Loren Mul hair. The team held Coleridge in side the 10 yard line twice. Coleridge scored first on a twenty yard screen pass play in the second quarter. Lynch came back with 30 seconds left in the half to score on a pass play from Crooks to Zach. Mulhair bulled in for the extra point. The score at the half was Lynch 7, Coleridge 6. The second half saw a deter mined Lynch team hold the bull dogs consistently. A fourth down and eight situation set up the second T. D. Ted Zach and Dwight Stewart tackled the Cole ridge back on the two and senior quarterback, Kenny Crooks ran it over for the score. Both teams managed to hold the other and the play see-sawed in the middle of the field until Mulhair boomed a 45 yard punt to the Coleridge 20. Junior end Jim Erlenbush recovered a fum ble. Les Holz, junior half back carried to the three. Coleridge held for three plays, then Mul hair, 200 lb half back scored on a wedge. Mulhair also carried for the extra point. Coach Ditman said the game was one of the greatest team efforts he has seen from a young team.
