Winner of the loop crown the last three years, Alvo thus made it four in a row at the top of the loop. Dick Clark, Mickey Lipskey. Bud Herrman and Rich Morgaridge provided the 39 points as the Orioles gained the top, thanks to an assist from Eagle which knocked off pre viously undefeated Eagle. At that, the Orioles had to come from behind in the final period to ice the contest, after the two teams had battled on fairly even terms through three periods. Nehawka took a first period' 7-6 edge. Rex Simons scored early in the period on a pass for the Nehawka 7 points. Mick ey Lipskey tallied for Alvo. The defending kings came back strong, in the second period however for 13 points, with Dick Clark all-loop back, scoring 1 cth markers.

An unprecedented display of fuotball talent in the closing conference battles Wednesday turned the standings into a double-tie. and created a lot of enthusiastic dissention over a predicted conference crown for Elmwood. But it. was Bill Reese's Golden Eals, who turned the final standings into the double-tie. liot and cold all year, the Eagle ! sextet rose to a high season j pitch to drop .previously unde- ! feated Elmwood and set the j .stae for the loop tie. 1 The defeat by Eagle dropped j Elmwood into a first place tie j with ihrce-time solo winner Al- vo. Both have 3-1 conference records. ; Eagle, meanwhile, climbed in to a two-way tie for third place bv virtue of if win, while Ne hawka was falling to co-champ Alvo.

The Orioles added another point to their margin in the third period. Clark tallied for the hornet-owners and Hermance scored the extra point on a. pass from Herrmann "e"a "jr ed in the battle with a touch-, flown bv Bill Mathers. At the end ofi three periods the score was 26-21, Alvo. Nehawka took over early in the final period with Howard Gansemer scoring six points and the Indians led 27-26. Moments later Nehawka was again knock ing at the door. It was the 4th down and 9 yards to pay dirt when Johnson let fly with a pass in the end zone. But Alvos Bud Herrmann blocked its path and raced 80 yards to score. Rich Morgaridge added the fin al Alvo touchdown in the clos ing minutes m olay. The win moved Alvo into a first play conference tie with Elmwood, while Nehawka droD ped into a third place tie with Eagle. over previously undefeated Elm wood, was unexpected but cer tainly convincing. The Golden Eagles had hinted that they might be "upset minded" after knockine off several good teams during the season and holding a strong Sterling quintet to a 26 26 tie. During the season. Eagle-had been hot and cold. It's heat was generated to a pitch in its win over Elmwood. smoldered in the ?6-26 tie with Sterling, and flamed in a 20-0 win over Tal mage. Loss of Ervin Maahs against Nehawka marked the start of the Eagle early season decline with Nehawka gaining a hard fought decision. Alvo made the most humiliating dent in the Eagles armor with a 45-0 win. But, outside of Union, the con ference teams were at each others throats. Elmwood started the ball roll- ' ing by defeating three-time con- ference King Alvo 24-8, while Nehawka was trimming Eagle. Then Elmwood defeated Nehaw- 1 ka 46-0.. .while Alvo ran over 1 Eagle 45-6 Last week the com plete switch 'came as Eagle, vic tim of Nehawka and Alvo, stop ped Elmwood, winners over the other two teams. Alvo brought the picture into line by stopping Nehawka 39-27. Union dropped all four of its I loop tests by convincing mar- gins. A Classified Ad in The Journal costs as little as 35 cents E.

Stubbs was the bright spot in Eagle's early show as he scored the first touchdown early in the inilial period from 33 yards out after receiving a pass from Ayer. But with the Eagle cheering section still enthused by that early touchdown, Stubbs again found the Elmwood defense to his liking and rambled 70 yards Weather, Pheasants Cause Drop In Waterfowl Hunting A change in the weather with resultant pushing of waterfowl southward and Into Nebraska is .needed to generate more inter est in duck hunting which has sagged since opening day. Duck hunting has slumped be cause few ducks are in the state and since the pheasant season opened last Saturday. Results to date have been both good and bad. Opening day re port from Loron Bunney of Og allala said "Eighty percent of hunters get limit bags with mal lards and pintails predominat ing." Another good report was re ceived from Conservation Offi cer A. G. McCarroll of Cody. Mc Carroll wired "Seventy-five per cent of all duck hunters check ed had bag limit on opening day. Teal and mallards predominat ed. Lots of hunters." Other reports were less en couraging. Officer Burman Guyer of Lexington reported "No ducks. Poorest opening for several years." Duck unting opportunities will undoubtedly change to the advantage 01 tne nunters as a month and a half of hunting still remains for the state. Sea son closing date is December 14.
