Football Season 1949 The Hamburg Wildcats lost their first game of the season at Peru 6-0. Out- weighed fifteen pounds to the man and with only five lettermen back the Wildcats came out with the lowest defeat score with the Peru team. It was considered a victory in defeat. A Sophomore studded Hamburg High football team over-powered heavily favored Essex 7-0 in a Tri-State Conference tussel. The Essex offense, which had burried two previous foes, never got past the winner's 45, as Hamburg scored its lone tally after three minutes of the third period had elapsed. Virgil Lynn burrowed over from five yards out, and Dean Peck plunged for the extra point. The Rock Port Blue Jays succumed to a lost half drive and dropped a Tri-State Conference game to Hamburg 12-0. D. Brown flipped a pass to brother N. Brc wn, good for seven yards and a touchdown. Later, Brown passed to Lynn for a 27-yard pay-off heave. Hamburg gained 322 yrds. by the air. Hamburg, a class B school, hammered class A Maryville, Mo., down to size in the first half, and went on to a surprising 19-0 victory. The Hamburg Pep Club, directed by Mrs. Doreen White, wife of the coach, gave the first marching exhibition in the school's history between halves. The Wildcat Footballers made a first quarter touchdown stand up for a 7-0 win over St, Joseph at Creighton Stadium. R. Gubser and J. Clayton were out- standing for Hamburg. Phil Larkin of St. Joe was one of the best offense backs Hamburg met up with all year. Hamburg and Tarkio battled to a 6-6 tie in the Homecoming game on the local gridiron. Hamburg scored three touchdowns in the first quarter but to no avail. All three were called back because of penalties. Hamburg out-downed the visitors 8-4 and made 129 yards from scrimmage to Tarkio's 93.

Leading by one touchdown until the fourth quarter, Tecumseh upset the Wildcats 13-6. In the second quarter a Brown to Lynn pass was good for a touchdown, with the conversion no good. Late in the final period Johnson of Tecumseh intercepted a pass and ran 80 yards right down the sidelines for a touchdown. The Nebraskans scored next on a blocked punt. Charles Barnes did some good running from his halfback spot. Two drop-kicks from the toe of Earl Wallace, Glenwood Ram's center spelled a 14-12 victory for Glenwood over Hamburg. Norman Brown, Chalmers Simpson, Murl Dovel looked stout in the 'Cats line, and the whole backfield, G. Brown, Kingery, Lynn, and Barnes performed well, con- sidering the cold weather. The annual Armistice Day game between Hamburg and Sydney was played on the local gridiron, ending in a 12-6 victory for the Wildcats. Robert Dimmitt played a sensational game at his tackle position.
