Most seriously injured was quarterback Tom Winscot with a torn muscle above the knee. This morning it was "doubt ful whether he will be able to go Friday," coach Burdette Hansen said. Bill Long, first string center, had a shoulder and arm injury. Hansen said first indications were that Long probably will be able to play Friday. Those two players missed a good share of the opener after playing well In the first half and parts of the second. Loren Todd, linebacker, and halfback Ken Dasher also had aggravations of earlier injuries. After today's exercises and sprinting, the varsity was to be gin serious work for its game at Beatrice Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday will be devoted to lots of work on tackling, Hansen said. He was highly critical of the Blwe Devils' tackling in losing to Crete Friday. Sojyries, Mistakes Costly For - JT-iir-rp-.-jTf- ,I1.,.,J K. P. PENCE Bankers Life Man 222 So. 6th Phone 32G9 Plattsmouth High today began to prepare for its second grid date of the season, Friday night at Beatrice, nursing assorted in juries and looking back after yielding grudgingly to Crete, 27 18, last Friday here. The Blue Devils unveiled a new offense in their opener, a winged-T. It was good for three TDs, two of them brilliantly earned. But, injirries to two key players, missed conversion attempts, two costly surpri ses by Crete and a Platts mouth defense that yielded a little too much yardage overshadowed the offense. Plattsmouth was only a point down, 12-13, when quarterback Tom Wlnscott suffered a leg in jury and had to leave the game for good with 4:33 left in the third quarter. A little later center Bill Long sustained nn arm injury and was forced to sit out the rest of the game. Coach Burdette Hansen Sat urday said he felt a big factor in Plattsmouth's having to bat tle uphill the whole game was missing the points after TD. The teams were 6-6 and little to give between them. But when Crete scored next, made the ex tra point and Plattsmouth could counter with only a TD, it was an odds-against battle for Platts mouth. Hansen said mistakes for which his team paid were a fake punt which Crete pulled on 4th and 3 to keep rolling on its 2nd TD march; an onside kick which gave Crete possession after its first TD, and a 3rd mis take, an apparent in-motion vio lation by Crete during its 1st TD drive. On the latter the official seemed to begin reaching for his infraction flag and stop. It happened on 4th and one and the play went for a 1st down. Hansen said he was dis appointed in his team's end play, linebacking and tack le', . .. "' ' I : .A i ; v t ' "'' :V.t 2 . I " s ; ; , . ;'!

It was a one-yard plunge. Other local players are John Konfrst (3), Loren Fleshman (5), Bob Hutton (8) and Ken Pritchard (17). ling in general. Uncertain tackling cost much yardage. Plattsmouth was hurt before the game began when the school learned that Lee Shipley, a promising defensive player, was inellgibe scholastically from last year at Bellevue. Crete's ability to run wide helped keep Plattsmouth in trouble. The visitors' wide run ning, with halfback Marvin Drevo and quarterback Harvey Duba carrying most often, gave them control of the ball most of the game. Crete ran 76 plays from scrimmage to only 31 for Plattsmouth. vl '" - , i H v; - - j-Jr: .... , ;-j M M h-i 11. ' - ' V, tf'V J V, M t. V , 1 !

They had recovered a Platts mouth fumble on the home 27. Drevo, a lightning-fast sta'.t-r, bolted through from the 4 to make it 6-0. Plattsmouth block ed the attempted placckick. The Blue Devils tied the score with 4:47 to go to the half. Guard Loren Fleishman set it up by intercepting a deflected pass on the Crete 37. Al Dasher dashed 19 yards on a quick opener to the 18. Win scot threw to Ken Dasher, a 16-yard pass play to the three. Fullback John Konfrst was stopped for no gain but Win scot ran left end on a bootleg for the TD. Tom Dunham's dropkick was blocked. Crete managed to get out front again by 9 seconds. It went 57 yards without giving up the ball, Duba running 23 of the last 24 yards on keeper plays, the last from one yard away with :09 showing of the lst-half time. Duba also ran the extra point for the 13-6 score. Plattsmouth bounced back into the game with 8:30 left in the 3rd quarter after Long recovered a Crete fumble on the visi tors' 26. Jerry Sayers ran 7 yards and Al Dasher 9. A play lost 2 yards but Crete was penalized 15 to the one. Al Dasher bucked over the right side for the 13-12 score. On the dropkick for point setup, the pass from cen ter was fumbled. Crete used a 13-yard Platts mouth punt which rolled dead among a melee of players on a disputed possession play and a 6-play march to lead 20-12 with 8:42 left in the 4th quarter. The punt play was one on which the ball might have touched a number of players but was declared dead. Drevo ran 17 and 12 yards during the drive but Duba scor ed on a keeper from a yard out. He ran the extra point. Plattsmouth exploded for its final TD and gave the home fans the biggest thrill of the game. Starting from its 20 after an endzone kickoff, Al Dasher got outside right end and ran 34 yards to the Crete 46 on first down. Sayers ran left end on the next play 46 yards to score. He was flagged at the line of scrimmage and pressed for 10 yards but ran alone the rest of the way down the sideline. Tom Dunham dropkicked for an apparent 27-19 score but there was a rules infraction and his second try was late and blocked - 27-18. The Crete TD preceding the Blue Devils' final burst was more of Duba and Drevo. Start ing from the Cards' 34, 1 plajs carried to the Plattsmouth 49. Duba broke through for 22, a play up the middle was stopped for no gain but Drevo took i handoff, got 7 yards and threw a last-second lateral to Duba who went all the way, a 32-yard play.
