GRIDSTERS MORRILL Lions swept the Cats 40-0, both teams being hampered by a cold after- noon. In Coach Sweet’s opinion, Merrill was the best-coached team that the Bobcats had played to date that season. Hudson and Hebbert received top honors for the Cats, due to their mas- terful performance. On a broken play during the Crawford game, Jerry Kiester runs around the end to fight for a short gain. CRAWFORD The invading Rams swept the Bobcats with a 38-20 loss for the home team. Kiester and Benda were given stars of the week honors. Rick, a stal- wart in the line for the past three weeks, was noted for his steady performan- ces in blocking and tack- ling. Jerry came in to spark the team and limited Ram yardage and scoring while producing three touch- downs. Smith made 6 points while Gasseling and Hebbert each made one try point. SIDNEY ST. PAT’S In a game played in honor of Mike Walker, the Cats won, 33-6, ending the season with a 3-5 rec- ord. Bob Smith and Kiester came up with 13 pt. each. Hudson made 6, Salomon produced 1.

Coach Sweet sets the boxes ablaze to start one of the biggest bonfires in H.H.S. history. Homecoming 68 highlighted the action of fall activities. Students will always cherish the memories of pre- paration that came to a climax in one short day. They worked faithfully at collecting boxes for weeks before and their efforts resulted in H.H.S.’s big- gest bonfire. On Friday afternoon students watched eagerly as the Pep Club Pres- ident and the H-Club Secretary crowned Bob Delsing and Lynette Haas. School spirit hit its peak during the big game on Friday night. After the game students had an enjoyable evening at the Homecoming Dance. Yes, Homecoming 68 will hold the memories of happiness and sorrow; these memories will always be cher- ished by the students who took part.

Bob Smith also made news by being named “back of the week”. The Bobcat speedster scored the only touchdown and carried the ball for the most offensive yardage. i

Bobkits defeated their cross-country rival, the Crusaders, with a run-away victory of 14-0. The Kittens hit pay dirt with jaunts by Bill Smith and Rod Planansky. The young cats obtained the victory by playing an outstanding game of ball control and maintaining a superior defense, led by the aggressive- ness of sophomore, John Garcia. RUSHVILLE The Bobkittens claimed a moral vic- tory in their second game by a 7-7 tie with Rushville. The Bobkits had a very successful night on the ground offense while Rushville’s yardage was mostly in the air. The Bobkittens scored on a fum- ble recovered by Bill Smith on the 20. Dennis Honstein made the touchdown. The Longhorns scored on a 20 yard run in the third period. MINATARE The last game of the season for the Bobkittens turned out to be a loss.

Later in the fourth quarter Minatare gained 60 yards in 10 plays to score on a 20 yard pass. The PAT was blocked by Dann Reynolds, leaving the score 8-0. 13
