I o. hh GRAND ISLAND 12 The Bluebirds, in handing Hermia Rohrig an almost perfect first game scored in every period on spectacu- lar passes, and a vicious ground attack. Rohrig, in using lb players left no doubt, as his charges were never threatened on the offense as well as the defense - every man showed up well. The Sweeney'-to-Beech am combination di.splayed an attack that virtually could not be met. Beecham crossed the double stripe four times and collected two extra points, while Lohmeier, Brusnahan, and Sweeney each got one TD. x.f W C. 31 13 T The fireworks started early. On the third play of the game, Sueeney grabbed a stray Dwight aeriel and romped SS yards to pay dirt behind faultless blocking. Beecham grab- bed a toss from Sweeney and scored the second before the home team had a chance to figure things out. A few minutes later Becker pulled a ball out of the sky in a clrcus ca.tch and went the distance. The Birds led by 19 to O at the quarter. The remaining three quarters saw Trojan and his mates fight on even terms with Cathedral. le matched them score for score, with Beecham getting one and Becker the other. lhen the dust cleared Cathedral had clipped another undefeated club.

G. 12 HASTINKB 38 As Napoleon had his Waterloo, and Caesar had his Brutus, so also does Cathedral have its Hastings. With two wins tucked under their belt, and a bright future ahead, the Birds were defeated in a humiliating first home game. With occasional spurts of defbnsivs power by Rice and Truman, the game wasn't ever a contest. Rice took a pass from over his head and neatly stepped his way to pay dirt for 'the second canto. Beecham took a short pass and hotfooted it into the prom- ised land. That was all the scoring power the Birds had, but they had learned a le son the never forgot. 97,716 M455 .

On the fourth play of the game Sweeney gathered in a punt and raced L15 yds. to score first. Kryger con- verted to make the score read 8-0. A few plays later Crotty engineered a TD for Norfolk. A dropkick tied the score. The Birds roared back setting up a Sweeney-to-Beecham pass which left us with a half-time lead. After the half Norfolk began to cut down the C. line. First came Truman, then Lohmeier, and finally Burns. The Red shirts took advan- tage of this and scored which made it 20-114. Accurate passing wet up the Birds next score, with Sweeney clinbing over for the TD. This tied the score and the Knights were never back in the game. The Birds were masters. Pg 35
