FALTER AS INJURIES HIT RUSHVILLE Rushville Longhorns handed the Hem- ingford Bobcats their first taste of defeat with a 19-0 victory. Coach Sweet named Rick Benda as Lineman of the Week. He earned the honor because of his outstanding defen- sive work, and offensive job. Dann Reynolds was named Back of the Week, primarily for his continuing fine job on defense, a seldom-miss tack- ier in the secondary and ball-hawking pass defender. MINATARE The Indians overpowered the faltering Bobcats with a score of 33-0. The beef and depth of the visitors was just too much for the injury—riddled Big Red to cope with. Ron Meradith was a terror on de- fense, getting several Minatare runners for losses and also blocking a field goal attempt. Again, Reynolds was named for Back of the Week, with his excellent job on defense in the backfield as line- backer. 9
