Blair and Belle vue powered the Cornhuskers to a 31-6 win. Though unscored upon, the Devils fought with their backs to the wall throughout the quar ter. Tekamah found plenty of running space around the Plattsmouth ends as they roll ed up yardage against the Dev ils. The middle of the line held fast however. Don Conyers, halfback, show ed up weH defensively, coming up to stop plays after they had gone past the end. Plattsmouth had the ball for only six offensive plays and punted twice during the quar ter. Jim Graves produced the only offensive threat when he made a nice return of a punt. Clayburn hinted after the game that some shifting of players may be involved follow ing scrimmage Wednesday night and light drills tonight. He also showed some fear of the College View test Friday night. It could be a critical game for the Platters. Clayburn also showed concern over Full .back Grover Cundall, who was limping again Wednesday after playing Tuesday night. Cundall had been botherd by a sprained ankle. Valley scored the only touch downs for the opponents against Westside. Bellevue scored twice against Wahoo and Blair spank ed Ashland with three TD's. Plattsmouth will begin pur suit or the 1953 Aksarben Con ference football championship Friday night when Jerry Clav- burn's Blue Devils invade Lin coln for a loop clash with Co ' lege View. t I Clayburn's charges, winners! over Auburn 18-0 Friday night, and held to a one-quarter tie by Tekamah in the Jamboree at Blair Tuesday night, will seek to repeat its last year's win over the Viewrmen. College View was i hit by Blair last Friday 28-7. Drills will - taper off slightly tonight as the Blue Devils are readied for the loop opener. A 1 heavy drill Monday night pre- j ceded the one-quarter clash in ! the Blair game Tuesday night in which the Devils were un scored on, but at the same time failed to score. Drills this week have been pri marily directed toward polish ing the offense, along with blocking and tackling. Clayburn was particularly interested in getting the timing of his backs in line. The Auburn game show ed that the backs were a little late in breaking through the holes. For the most part. Clayburn expects to stick with approxi mately the same lineup that started against Auburn. Again it will depend on whether Plattsmouth will kick off or re ceive ..:-u. - M . y 1 ml ' f fc ehawka - Eagle iiention Clash ay Nehawka and Eagle will put their, one-game win string on the line Friday night when the two teams hook up in a confer ence tilt at Nehawka.
