MEISINGER ' Mayor Platsmouth's VFW footballers - made the fans feel like kicking themselves for staying home Tuesday night. They scuttled the Peru State Teachers B team 18 to 13 and with a passle of thrills for a sparse crowd. The VFW team began with a flashing 95-yard touch down run in the first minute and ended things with a blaz in goal line stand in the last minute. Don Conyers, diminuitive scat back, just off the Plattsmouth Blue Devils of last year, picked up Peru's opening kickoff boot on his own five and ran 95 yards untouched to score. The point kick attempt was blocked. The Platters were full of fire. They cracked Peru backs so hard the ball bounded away in a fumble three times in the opening period. Tackle Gary Ashbaugh recovered a Peru fumble on the Plattsmouth three; Don Eaton recovered on the Plattsmouth 26 and Wayne Reike recovered on the Peru 48, but the Platters could do nothing with the ball. An neith er could the surprised Peru team as the first quarter passed away 6-0 in favor of Plattsmouth. Halfback Ken Koudell scored Peru's first touchdown in the second quarter when he sliced over fro mthe four-yard line fol lowing a drive. Tom Eastman, 185-pound end from Chicago, booted the Peru point-after to give the junior Bobcats their first lead 7-6 with 9:11 minutes of the second quarter left. The VFW marched on the next kickoff to the Peru three where Quarterback Ron Hughes 21 Cass Countians Enrolled Nebraska Wesleyan Students LINCOLN Twenty-one stu dents from Cass county, includ ing two from Plattsmouth, are included among the 858 students enrolled at Nebraska Wesleyan University for the 1955-56 year.
