744135465 fifotdm 544424. 'IUBBER CNo. 285 TOILS mightily as Bob Fish CNo. 185 streaks for the goal against Clay Center. Dan Baird Cbehind Fish5 sets himself to join the pile between Bob's legs which undoubtedly includes Al Witte. This picture is a coach's delight as it displays a perfect blocking pattern for the long run. By the way, Keith smeared his man. ' TYPICAL SCENE, shows Al Witte C215 with his nose to the turf as Ron Kort churns around right end for yardage against Nelson. C295 John Tjaden, C555 Duane Buschow, and C255 Bob Rose, dig out of their line spots to lead the downfield blocking. Alvy always adhered to the old football adage of hit 'em low. Let's see anybody get lower than this. NATIVE DANCER Fish sets sail for the north goal line against Clay Center. This pass play from Ron Kort netted 90 yards. C365 Gordon Bachman, C255 Bob Rose, C225 Wild Bill Svoboda, Gary Oye, and Gene Penrose lead the cheers. BLOCKING FORMS AGAIN for Dan Baird C305 as Buschow C235 and Rose C255 prepare to lower the boom. Notice No. 12 in the pile. Again that's Al Witte.

The Harvard Cards popped the balloon in a heartbreaking season opener. We won't forget that desperate last quarter drive that ended on the 11 yard line. Bob Fish returned a kick-off 90 yards in a losing effort the next week against Red Cloud. Two losses in a row after sixteen successive wins. But the Bobcats bounced back in true championship form to win their next five games in a row. A few of the individual heroics of the season follow: Dean Wormuth scored three touchdowns against Gibbon to give the 'Cats a come-from-behind victory. Al Witte realized the linesman's dream by intercepting a pass against Clay Center and galloping 70 yards for the score. Ron Kort called an exceptionally line season from his quarterback spot. Keith, John and Ken made many spectacular tackles during the sea- son. Bob Rose had a Hair for snagging the opposi- tions' fumbles. Dan failed to connect on a place- kick all year but booted a 65-yard quick-kick against Clay Center as well as gaining 170 yards.

Seniors Al Wine, Dan Baird and Keith Kort were named to the Hartingr Daily Tribune? All-Tribland Team and Dan was given honorable mention on both the Omaha World-Herald? and the Lincoln Stark All-State teams. The B team, coached by Mac Rayfield, won both the games on their schedule, fore- casting nothing but good for next year. Also the footballers wish to thank and bid farewell to Coach Don Mietzner who announced his retirement at the close of the season. The 5 and 2 record of 1958 was commendable as was the football team.
