Panthe r s vs Boyceville After scoring four consecutive conference wins the Panthers took on a non-confer- ence foe in Boyceville However it took excellent defensive work by game captain Jim Johnson to keep those boys from get- ting away on some dangerous jaunts The Panthers scored early on an end run by Lafe Allie who put on a good running display in this particular play An Allie- to- Snooks pass scored the extra point and the I-Iubbers took the lead 7-0 I the second half the teams played even ball for a quarter, and then E H S started to move down the field After a sustained march which took them to the visitors' two-yard line the attack bog- ged down On fourth down Allie threw a pass to Snooks which was taken in the end zone but was nullified Snooks' taking a Nilssen-aerial sped thirty yards to make the score 13-0 Next year's team received some valuable ex perience during this contest especially since Brian Kirby and Bill Quinn regu lar left guard and quarterback were out of the game with injuries Let it be said that Boyceville had one of the scrappiest teams to play here m a long time! Panthers vs. Menomonie Ellsworth's r0ugh'n tough football team lost their big game of the season to a rug- ged Menomonie eleven Prior to the game both Ellsworth and Menomonie were tied for first place but after the struggle Menomonie was left on top of the roost. The weather played a big part in the final outcome of the game as the mud and a stiff wind limited both team's passing attacks However the game proved to an interesting one as both teams knew it was The One they had to win Menomonie took no chances and scored their line touchdown in the first quarter looking far superior to the E H S. eleven This touchdown seemed to pep the Panthers up and now they began to play ball some what up to par The rest of the game was pretty much of a standstill as neither team became a scoring threat. Although Menomonie came out on top they knew they had been in a battle Let it be said that our team never gave up fighting al though few of our fellows were at their peak for the game , . , be I ' n I ll I ,,,,Y,T, . .- .t 171 Courtesy of Hoyers' Mortuary 81
