For the second season in a row the Doane Tigers have come from behind to snare the Nebraska College Conference Championship. Flfter dropping the first two games of the season, Coach jim Dutcher's Bengals caught fire and will be going into the 1952 season shouldering a seven game winning streak. Doane's hope for a repeat giant-killer role over Washburn University was smothered as the Ichabods ground out a 33-14 win over the local collegiates, at Moore Bowl in Topeka, Kansas. The following week the Tigers hopes for another NCC crown took a mighty jolt as the Bobcats of Peru dampened the Tiger's bid 21-12. Injuries played an important role in this loss. loe Chapman, hard driving half back, Speedy Bobby Provorse, and Hll-Con- ference, Gene Wanek were sidelined. The following week Doane began to roll by smothering Chadron 46-7. Omaha Univer- sity then came to town, the game being one of the top upsets in football. lim Dutcher's inspired Tigers played havoc with the odds makers to trample the bewildered Omaha Indians 20 to 14 before a Parents' Day crowd. Doane's defense was superb, and Dick lllnder- son, Carroll Zaruba, and Bob Provorse spurred the offensive attack with a touchdown apiece. Inspired by the news that Kearney had upset Peru, Doane College struck with light- ning speed in the first quarter to rack up three quick touchdowns, and then went on to spoil Wesleyan's homecoming to the tune of 42-15 at O. N. Magee Memorial stadium. Doane's never say die eleven turned a 14-0 Hastings' lead into a 34-2l victory before a Hastings Homecoming crowd. This was per- haps one of the greatest rallies of the dwind- ling NCC grid season that was displayed by Iim Dutcher's hustling speedsters. It was in this game that Carroll Zaruba, outstanding Fullerton athlete, twisted around right end, stiff armed a would be tackler, out ran the last three Broncs, and scooted 93 yards for Doane's first counter. lt was later in this game that Bob Starr, Lincoln Northeast pride, took Stickels' punt on Doane's 10 yard line, headed toward the sidelines, sidestepped one Hast- ings man, and left the rest of the work to Doane's terrific defensive line. Yes sir, 90 yards straight up the sidelines to a touchdown and victory for Doane. Midlands steamed up warriors gave the Tigers a first quarter scare, but were subdued 32-14 in a cold NCC football tilt. This was five in a row, and only two victories remained for a championship. Doane added another victory to their string as they won an easy 46-19 victory over Kear- ney State Teachers College in our Homecom- ing tilt. Flfter leading 28-0 at half-time, I. D. cleared the bench. By counting ten points, Carroll Zaruba, remarkable freshman fullback, tied the NCC individual scoring mark of 67 points. One obstacle left, just one, and that was powerful Wayne. The Tigers could smell victory as mighty Iiggs Summers took the ball on the first play from scrimmage and raced 80-yards for the TD. Zaruba split the uprights and established himself scoring ace of the Nebraska College Conference's history with 68. Wayne fought back and the score stood 7-6 Doane at the half. Early in the fourth quarter, Ioe Choo Choo Chapman powered his way over for the second touchdown for Doane. The extra point was missed and Doane led 13-6. With less than two minutes remain- ing Wayne pushed to the Doane nine yard line. On second down goal to go, Wayne's Kane fumbled a pitch-out, and rugged l3ll1-Confer- ence jim McKenzie recovered on the six-yard line. Shortly afterward the gun sounded end- ing the game. Doane and Peru were Co- Champions, and the Tigers swarmed onto the field in jubilant joy.
