The run, symbolic of Bobby Rey nolds run against Missouri a year ago, combined good block ing with brilliant running. Trapped on the 25 yard line, Todd reversed his field only to be trapped again on the thirty. Reversing his field again, he picked up some vicious blocking and crossed into pay dirt un touched. Hodge Eaton got Plattsmouth's final tally after the intermis sion as he scampered 30 yards behind a wall of blockers that mowed down the defensive Blair unit. Taking a screen pass from Tom Conis. Eaton simply headed straight down the south side line as the Blair defenders laid sprawled all over the field. The game played in bitter cold weather was marred by frequent fumbles and numerous penal ties. In fact both played im portant roles in the game. Aftr Jack Todd's ODenlne kick-off, Plattsmouth recovered a Blair fumble on the Blair 25. Four plays later the Blue Devils had their first six points. But while Plattsmouth made the breaks work for them, Blair was unable to capitalize on theirs. On two occasions, Blair recovered Plattsmouth fumbles deep in Plattsmouth territory only to be stopped by a strong forward wall and alert pass de fense. Even the adoption of the Notre Dame T" formation failed to produce anw note worthy results.

Markey reinsured his leg during first half action. John Kruss, filling in for the injured Markey, played an outstanding defensive game. Several other Plattsmouth and Blair players sustained minor injuries. Coach Merle Stewart swept the bench in the last quarter and should have been pleased with the showing of his re serves. Not only did the re serves show definite defensive promise, but its offense con tinued to roll through the Blair ine. Richard Brewster, 215 pound tackle for Blair, was booted from the game during the clos ing minutes of play. Down the list ot Blue Devils, seeing major action in the Fri day night grid battle, fans saw tremendous amount oi line play. Jerry Wood excelled as a pass defender and made nu merous tackles, Dick March was strong in the line along with John Kruse: Ends Ronald Hunt and Bob Wondra played what was probably their best game of the season. Stan Cole finally shook lose a couple of times and notched his first touchdown. Jon Schuetz again protected the Plattsmouth goal line with his line kicking and line bucks. Hodge Eaton came through in fine fashion. But Tom Conis, field director or the Blue Devils, was the man of the hour. His passes were hitting the target perfectly, and despite cold fingers, receivers were hanging on to the ball. Plattsmouth held Blair to a net rushing yardage of eight yards Friday night, while roll ing up 186 yards on the ground.
