C. 33 TALMAGE 18 Cathedral slooged through Sherman and highly praised Talmage in their final home contest and a 33-18 win. The Talmage sextet, purply in the face as their uniforms, were swept off their feet as the Bluebirds turn- ed in a performance that Rohrig had waited for all season. In doing so the Birds pulled another towering upset which pushed them up again as a major six man grid machine. Cathedral scored first with a flat pass to Beecham who bulled his way to pay mud. Talmage took to theair and evened the count at 6-6. The birds roared back and ended in the Sweeney-to-Beecham touchdown. In the second stanza both teams scored with Sweeney slashing over from 2 yds out Following half-time Coach Rohrigs charges were masters for the remain- ing two periods mainly on Sweeney's runs which accounted for 2 more six points and a brilliant defensive led by Bill Rice and Freeman Burns. Talmage scored in the dying mo- ments, a well beaten team. C. 28 WILBUR 12 Cathedral polished a good recordto a bright gleam in bringing home the long desired victory of the Wolver- ines of Wilbur. The injury riddled Bluebirds shattered a 5 year losing Jinx which also ended grid rivalry between the two schools, for Wilbur is turning to ll man football next year. Again coaching and the fine play of the reserves was shown. Facing a certain onslaught the Birds used every play in outsmarting a stronger Wilbur, with Beecham drawing first blood followed by Sweeney. Both scored again on brilliant runs. The closing minutes produced many ex- citing moments for the home team as the faltering Bluebirds were punished with a ruthless physical beating. Pg 37

The Bluebirds first season under Tutor HERMAN ROH IG was highly successful. At times it seemed as tho' Hermie worked us a little harder than necessary - but- the grueling PRACTICE sessions, windsprints etc. paid off in the end. BILL RICE, the best defensive ball player in the state, and the gamest was picked on the Lincoln Journal ALL STATE team as Center also to receive honors were JACK BEECHAM and DENNIS SIEENEY our offensive U combination.
