Outmud Piatt 19 - 0 On Mudiron BY THE CUB Dear Boss: "r: Nebraska City beat Plattsmouth out at Attiietic "park" Friday night, but I can't for the life of me s e where that's important. Th" invaders outmudded our boys by a score of 1 to 0 but the lads ot PHS endeared themselves to their supporters by giving the heavy favorites plenty stiff brand of competition. For ground-gaining and scoring inr' ats trie nometowners were t good enough for anyone's money. They were outscored and there's no hedging around the fact Neb City deserved to win. Or-ly the valiant would have vent m od onto that quagmire of mud that was our football field Friday night. The lads who did were that and more. I doff my hat and bow to them. It was a weird contest. I've heard sports commentat ors snv it doesn't matter wheth er you won or lost but how you plaved the game. That sayings been changed a. round here to "where you played the game.

The deer was seen several times last week- on a thick sodded field that does not turn into a mud puddle in a wet. spell or a hard cement-like surface when its dry. There won't be so many injuries on the sod. However, that the field was cov ered with soft mud may have been a boon to the parents of those kids.lt was a gruelling hard fought battle with interludes of down right roughness which were cush ioned by the mud mat.. It's kind of hard to recall all the details of the game. So many other things were happening. The sluggings that almost resulted in fistfights and brought coaches run ning onto the field.
