On the games first play from scrimmage Bab Hall took a pass from Buddy Ahrens and scored the first of his three TD's of the night. A slippery ball and rug ged tackling by Bennet held Elmwood to a 12-point first quarter as Elmwood ball car riers lost the ball twice on fum bles. Bennet put together their only offensive threat of the evening early in the second quarter as they combined their only two first downs of the night to counter and bring the score to 12-6. From there on the root fell in as Elmwood's shifty backs scored four quick touch downs to turn the game into a rout. The half ended 40 to 6. An intercepted passes led to a quick end for Bennett early in the third quarter. Pirate Quar terback Ronnie Abrams pilfer ed the first on the Bennet 30 yard line, and side-stepped two tacklers on his way - over the goal: Linebacker Lannin picked off another, two plays after the kickoff and Freshman Fullback Dennis Drake powered around the end for two yards and a score to end the game.

'SMALLEST CHURCH Festina, Iowa Claims to be ing the "World's Smallest Churc'h' are made for St. Anthony's Chapel, two miles west of here. The 12-by-20 foot stone building has four pews and seats eight. It was founded by Frank J. Huber, of Fort At kinson, and his wife, Verona, both of whom are now 90. Plattsmouth's limping Blue Devils lost their fifth straight football game at home Friday njght as they struggled back to halt Falls City but were unable to overtake them. The visiting Tigers crammed over three touchdowns in the first quarter, two in the second and one in the third to win 38 to 6 over Plattsmouth. The Devils had a long list of cripples when the game started but some of them limped on the field and played anyway. Tackle Mike Lewis played a bang up game despite an injury, as did Vera Aylor. Stellar performance of the evening was turned in by Platts mouth's Larry Long who shifted to fullback and hurt the Falls City team on nearly every carry. He finally bulled the ball to the Falls City three where he found the line stacked two deep against him. He was sent into the guard hole again but faked it and lat eralled to Freshman Halfback Tom Winscott who circled the end and made the only score for Plattsmouth. Here's how Falls City scoring went in the first half, when the only time the Tigers were pushed back in their own territory, Plattsmouth's Al Fairfield punt ed them there on the fourth down. After it appeared that Platts mouth might move by air as they accepted the kickoff at game opening, Long pitching to Hueb ner for 11 yards, the Devils were hit with the first bad break as Falls City Halfback Charley Taylor intercepted an aerial on the Plattsmouth 45 and ran it to the 21. Three plays and a five-yard penalty against Platts mouth later, Fullback Mickey Cochran plunged three yards for the first score. The Platters blocked the point kick attempt. The touchdown came with 6:39 tu go in the first quarter.' RADIATOR REPAIRING Plattsmouth Motors ONE-DAY SERVICE Washington Ave. Ph. 287 -sOf m II I II 1 "llll'llll'IIIIMMMMMMMMMWltMIMMMMM""!

(Ql (3 D DU The Tigers hit quickly a second time with 3:34 to go in the quarter when Coch ran recovered a Platter fum ble on the Plattsmouth 35. Quarterback Jerry Collier sliced to the 25 and on the next play Charley Taylor went for a touchdown on a right end pitchout. Jim Poage kicked the point. Plattsmouth's punt to the Falls City 45 as the first quar ter ended set up the next Tiger TD as Collier ran the ball back to the Plattsmouth 22; Coch rane hit the 20 and Taylor took that right nd pitchout again for a score just as the quarter end ed. Falls City scored again near the middle of the second quarter on five plays from the Platts mouth 25 as Collier went over on a keep it play from the seven. Poage intercepted 'a--Plattsmouth pass on the Plattsmouth 40 and ran the ball to the Plat ter six to set up the next TD. Cochrane hammered the line twice, going over from the two. Point attempts were not good. Charles Taylor scored Falls City's last touchdown at the middle of the third quarter as the Tigers drove from their own 34 on a 26-yard slice by Taylor around righ end; a break through the middle by Cochrane for 28 yards and a 10-yard scor ing play by Taylor on that left end pitchout. Jim Poage kicked the point. Falls City Coach Jack Mcln tyre dumped in his reserves in the fourth quarter and Platts mouth flattened them against their own goal line, finally scor ing. at the top of the fourth and threatening again as the ending gun sounded.
