f Ht PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SE!KII-WEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Monday. October 13, 1952 Falls City Halts Blue Devil Win String 27-6 A strong Falls City Tiger foot- ball team roared into Platts mouth Friday night and walked off with a 27-6 conquest of the Plattsmouth Blue Devils. Coach Merle Stewart's charg es didn't come to life until the second half, when they played the Tigers on even terms. But during the first two periods, the Tigers built up a 20 point lead and was never seriously threat ened. Tom Livingston, senior scat back, scored Plattsmouth's lone tally on a 24-yard run around end to cut the deficit to 20-6 after three periods. Gibson scored all of the Tiger touchdowns as Falls City scored on both running and passing combinations. Gibson went 20 yards for the first touchdown around his own right end for a 6-0 lead, and in the second period went over center for one vard and a 13-0 lead. He scored later in the same period on pass from Sorensen, good for 42 yards, and added the final Falls City marker in the final period on a 26-yard pass ircm boren- j sen. i A few breaks could have made j a different story in the final I :tcome but the all-around cff utW HARD GIOSS nmsH tot hoors.. Get It At HIATT FURNITURE CO. YOUR TV 5ET GOT THE u ? - 9 if ' . ff strength of Jack Mclntyre s Tigers was too much for the Blue Devils. Statistics show that the sec ond half was comparatively even after Falls City dominated first half play. The Tigers rolled up 96 and 98 yards rushing in the first two periods, while hold ing Plattsmouth to 8 and minus one yards in the same two pe riods. After the intermission though Plattsmouth registered 27 yards in the third period to 45 for Falls City and 54 in the final canto to 82 for the Tigers. One of the most bruLsing bat tles of the season, the game left Flattsmouth with a long list of injured gridders. Tackles Dick Glaze and Dick March saw only limited duty as both received leg injuries early in the fray. Also suffering leg wounds were John Schuetz, junior fullback; . - i i i, i . . a i John Lsiotzer, senior iiauuuin.. and Tom Corns, senior quarter back. Jerry Fulton, end, suf fered a rib injury as well. Coach Merle Stewart expres sed satisfaction with the play of most of the Blue Devils, but pointed out that one guard spot appeared weak. Plattsmouth threatened on several occasions with DeWayne Noell and Jon Schuetz threat ening to go the distance. On two occasions it took the safety to stop Noell when he appeared en route to a TD. A non-conference game for Plattsmouth. it was their sec ond loss in five games. They are undefeated in the East Nebraska Eight conference.

Plattsmouth and Cass county nimrods opened their onslaught against ducks Saturday and are now awaiting opening of the pheasant season cn October 17. Ducks were apparently plen tiful on the opening days of the season despite very mild and warm weather here during the past weeks. Many hunters re ported getting their limit early on opening day but are expect ing to find it a little tougher unless cooler weather strikes. Earlier last week, many Ne braska hunters reported good luck across the river in the Missouri river and Forney Lake areas. Two zones have been estab lished for the pheasant season which opens on October 17. In one zone the season is limited to ten davs while in the re- son will be open until Novem ber 23. Zone two, for which the sea son runs only until October 2G, consists of Boyd, Blaine, Brown, Cherry, Garfield, Grant, Holt, Hooker, Keya Paha, Loup, Rock, Thomas and Wheeler counties in the western part of the state. Zone one includes all other counties in which pheasants are legal game until November 23. Shooting hours are from sun rise to sunset in both zones, however the limit in zone two is two cock pheasant, while four is the bag and possession limit in zone 1. Grouse are also legal game in ten western counties this week only.

Blue Devils To Test Wahoo In Homecoming Tilt Coach Merle Stewart's Blue Devils will seek to extend their East Nebraska Eight conference lead in a homecoming tilt with Wahoo at Memorial Athletic Field Friday night. Currently riding the crest of the conference standings along with Blair, the Devils will tangle with one of the stronger con ference teams when thev play host to the Warriors in the an nual Plattsmouth high school homecoming game. Wahoo dropped its first con ference test Friday when Blair, top ranked conference team, nipped the Warriors in a thriller. The Wahoo loss left Blair and Plattsmouth the only undefeat ed teams in the conference. With a full week of grid ac tivity slated for the Plattsmouth football squad, and with many varsity ulayers currently on the injured list, the Blue Devils may find it toueh sledding. Because of injuries. Coach Merle Stew art may be forced to limit prac tice sessions to fundamentals this week. In addition to the homecom- i ing tilt with Wahoo Friday night, the Plattsmouth Reserv es play the Weeping Water first team Wednesday night at Weep ing Water, and the junior high team meets Bellevue here Thurs day night. Plattsmouth and Wahoo battled to a 14-14 tie at Wahoo last year when the Warriors captured the conference crown. The tilt should be one of the best to be played on the home field this fall.
