SPORTS A coach feels tense before a game —the players feel this anxiety also, because they don't want to disappoint their coach, their school, or themselves.

The Bobcats took an early lead and held on for their first victory of the season. This victory, 28-14, promoted their spirit for the team's coming encounters. HAY SPRINGS Hay Springs handed the unprepared Bobcats their first taste of defeat for the season. The Hawks simply overpowerd the Bobcats. The Cats enjoyed some glory, recovering a Hawk fumble with the game only four plays old, then covering 39 yards in five plays to lead 6-0. However, their offense stalled, and the game ended Hemingford 6, Hay Springs 35. RUSHVILLE Teamwork enabled the Bobcats to be the first team to make Rushville punt, and also the first to score upon them. Brad Rosenberger gathered in the first Longhorn punt, and scampered 53 yards to take the lead, 6-0, with only 2:33 played. The Cats were a big threat until the final three minutes, despite the 25-6 score. AAINATARE In the biggest upset of the weekend the Hem- ingford Bobcats played a fine defensive football game to scalp the unbeaten Minatare Indians 20-7. Brad Rosenberger returned the opening kickoff 77 yards only to have it called back by a 15 yard pen- alty. The Cats recovered, thanks to team effort, with special help by Bruce Engel on two Indian pass in- terceptions, and Rick Benda with 13 vicious tackles. 24
