Speedy Dale Chesley again was the whole show for Central by scoring two touch- downs, an extra. point, and averaging 6.9 yards every time he lugged the pigskin. During the night's performance, the Green picked up 14 first downs to the Mustangs' 7, while the locals picked up a total of 225 yards. A light but speedy Aurora eleven gave the Bison their first loss of the season by rolling over Central 24-7 in a conference tilt. Chesley tallied the Greens only counter on a mid-field pass from Donovan Crandell. John Edgar hit center for the extra point. Coming back full of fight, the Green and White evened their conference record by stopping Fuller- ton 18-7. Chesley put the Bison ahead in the early minutes of the game when he broke off tackle and romped 60 yards to score.

The Warriors got back in the game in the third stanza when a blocked kick and a bad pass from center on two successive plays gave the ball to Fullerton near the Bison goal from where they took it over and placekicked the extra point to put the score at 12-7. However, the Bison iced the game in the last quarter on a pass from Crandell to Chesley cover- ing 16 yards and a touchdown. With every man seeing plenty of action, Central smothered hapless St. Paul 41-0 at St. Paul. Don Chandler led the scoring spree with three touchdowns, with Chesley getting two and Cran- dell one. Umphreys, Nixon, Shields, Nine, and Mont- gomery added extra points. Undefeated Albion came to Central on Color Day and went away with a hard earned victory by stopping the Bison 14-2.

It was not until early in the second period that Albion notched their first touchdown on a 15 yard pass from Dunagan to Streeter. Dunagan gave the Cardinals their second counter on a 10 yard jaunt off the weak side. Central got their two points on a safety in the fourth frame. in the heartbreaker of the season, Gibbon came from behind in the final twa seconds of play to stop the Bison 12-7. Big Jim Lyons, one of high schools better passers, was the big gun for the Buffaloes and tossed the winning pass. Central City got off to a 7-0 lead in the first period when Don Glantz blocked a Gibbon punt near mid-field. The Bison recovered and marched 44 yards to score with Dale Chesley going over on a plunge. Chesley also added the extra point. Then, with the Bison fighting with their backs to the wall most of the last quarter, Lyons threw the winning pass. Gibbon also scored their first touchdown on a pass in the last stanza. 13, N..,...i...,..w, , .mm,:.,.mirm , Wm...

However, the shocked Bluejays came back to down Central 21-6 and clinch a. share of the conference crown. Led by Hagemoser, Rivers, Rolfsmieir, and Briggs, the Bluejays completely outplayed the Bison in the second half as the Bison could never get going. Armistice Day brought the football season to a dismal end as the Green bowed to David City 26-0 on a wet field at David City. Muntz and Kucera each scored two touchdowns for the Scouts as they scored once in each period. Don Glantz and Don Chandler were the outstanding players for Central City in the last game. Aurora and Seward shared the Central Five Conference crown as each team had three wins and a single loss in league play. Fullerton and Central City shared the bottom rung with an opposite record of the leaders. David City had a 2-2 record for the middle spot. men.
