IILHJZAIGIZ onzzwq 7939 Not only did a record of six wins against four defeats give the fighting Minute Men a succ ssful season but the fact that Coach Dills charges upset the highly tou'ed Curtis Aggies 14 O then went an to register their fifth straight win over the Swedes from Gothenburg 7 to U brought the campaign to a great close The Minute Men opened the season by hand ing the Cozad Haymakers a setback during the ozad Hay Days Sterner opposition greeted the locals the following week end when a polished Havelock team demonstrated how the pigskin sport should be played Lady Luck would not smile on the Dills eleven during the McCook battle as Lexington lost A hard running North Platte aggregation proved to be too much for the Minute Men in the fourth battle of the campaign Fate inter vened as the Minute Men did an about face and ran over and past the Kearney Bearcats a week later Holdrege aisplayed a neat passing game in the next contest but the L xington gridders fought to achieve another victory. Traveling to Beaver City the next week Coach Dills pig- skinners were hard pressed but managed to bring home the bacon. After holding Cambridge the first half the Minute Men let down enough late in the game to allow the Cambridge eleven to register a Southwest conference victory. Grim determination seemed to grip the team on the eve of the Curtis game. The Dills eleven cashed in on breaks to upset the morale of the Aggies then Stuckey s pass Kring s catch and later on Speak s run clinched th, victory. With a win over the Swedes needed to bring the campaign to a grand climax the Minute Men responded in true Minute Man fashion. Coach Dills boys thwarted all Gothenburg thrusts then struck via the aerial route to thump the Swedes once more. Page 24
