The season opened on a happy note as the Tigers touched off their 1961 campaign in defense of their East Big Ten crown. It was a thrilling 12-7 victory over Fremont. Hastings made it known in its first game that it had a team to be reckoned with. However, in their next game, the Tigers were unable to get a strong scoring threat started and the Fairbury Jeffs roared to a 25-0 victory. Against Southeast, Hastings used a lightning attack to pro- duce a touchdown, but the extra point failed and the game was lost 7-6. At North Platte the Tigers put together a hard charging defense coupled with a rigid defense to crush the Bulldogs 32-7. The following week it was Hastings coming from behind to beat the Discoverers, 19-12. The Tigers could get only one touchdown against the state's top ranked club, Northeast. The Rockets whipped Hastings before a Homecoming crowd. The Tigers played well against the highly favored Lincoln team holding it scoreless the first half. Norfolk proved stubborn but weak, as they yielded 12-0. It was the third straight in the East Big Ten. But then disappointment struck as the Islanders nipped the Queen City crew, 28-19, in a knock down rival scrap. The season ended in a 20-7 romp over Beatrice. Hastings played in the Big Ten Conference play-off in North Platte. It was a case of three times a bridesmaid. The Tigers once more tasted de- feat-this time 12-0. 6 Hastings lost a close game to South- east, 7-6. The game was hard- fought with every inch of ground being fiercely contested. Tiger linemen do a bang-up job opening a hole for Jack Giddings to score against Columbus. The 1962 Tiger Page 26 BACK ROW: Tom Smith.
