The official and player in left foreground have hands raised high as if to signal to the rest of those at the Home coming football game Friday night that they'd found the scene of action. There was rain, ranging t a downpour through most of the first half and light rain and a sea of mud through the second half. Auburn outslogged I'lattsruouth, 32-19. Plattsmouth and Auburn Hinh schools labored under the most appalling conditions to provide a good Homecoming football game here Friday night. Auburn, the better mudder showing terrific breakaway sp eed despite ooze resulting from driving rain most of the first half, won 32-19 to complete an unbeaten season with 8 victor ies. Plattsmouth, which fought back from a deficit the entire name led by the running, pass ing and punting of Tom Win- scot, brought credit to itself in spite of losing. The local Blue Devils in Bill Hawkins' first year as head coach, wound up with a record of three wins, four losses and a tie. Friday night, a Homecoming crowd of fair size considering the weather saw an offensive display which would have been most satisfactory on a dry field under clear skies. The back - breaker for Platts mouth was a punt runback the length of the field in the third quarter when the Blue Devils pulled up to within range of going ahead for the first time. It was an audacious thing for Auburn to do. Winscot had kicked from a bout the Auburn 45. Plattsmouth covered well and the slippery ball bounded around Inside the five-yard line. Then, against all odds, half back Gary Dalton (25) fielded the ball and had to run later ally half the width of the field to get any running room. He found a lot then and went all the way after several near stops. It made the score 25-13, in stead of 19-13. It put Auburn out of range with about half the third quarter left. Before that, the scoring had also come in quick strikes. Auburn tallied with 9:53 re maining in the first quarter on the 4th play of the game after Plattsmouth's kickoff. Dalton ran 36 from his 28 to get it start, ed after a 5-yard PHS penalty. Quarterback Dick Tushla (25 ran the last 29 yards on third down of the next series. His kick was wide. It took the Blue Devils 5 min utes to equalize. Like Auburn, they went 77 yards. Winscot ran for 21 and on third down of the next ser ies got outside to go 54 yards for the score. A plunge for point failed. Auburn went ahead again with 2:49 left in the quarter, driving 82 yards in 7 plays. Dalton and Tushla traded plays until Tush la punched over from the one on second down. Dalton ran the point and it was Auburn, 13-6. The visitors made it 19-6 on an 86-yard drive in the first min utes of the second period. Ed Johnson ran 65 yards for the score. The kick failed. Plattsmouth got that one back shortly before the half. Guard Jerry Haase recover ed an Auburn fumble on the Auburn 36. A "piling on" pen alty put Plattsmouth on the 20. Winscot's 13-yard pass to Jim Shown on 4th down brought the score. They repeated for the point and it was 19-13 with the home fans taking hope. Then came the fantastic punt return to turn the tide. After that. Plattsmouth tallied in the third after Ken Pritch ard's fumble recovery on the Auburn 45. Winscot ran for 14 and 20 and Al Dasher for 6. Winscot hit Shown in the flat with a 6-yard scoring pass. The pass for the extra point failed. At 19-25, the Blue Devils did n't have quite enough left to catch up and Auburn seized its next opportunity, still in the third quarter, to score. A "piling on" penalty against Plattsmouth and a 19-yard pass by Tyshla were the big gainers. Dalton plunged a yard to score. The kick was good. That was the scoring and i neither team had a first down the last quarter until Auburn moved to the Plattsmouth 10 as the game ended. Most of the crowd stuck it out till the end but it was just too wet for anyone's good. An ironical footnote was that the field was sprinkled pri or to the game to allay the dust which had bothered a lot the previous game.
