HAY SPRINGS Hemingford reserves lost the opener of the four game season with a 16-0 loss to the Hay Springs reserves. The Bobkittens scored the first touchdown and also made the PAT on a run. The Hawks scored on two safties, tackling Junior quarterback Mike Hudson in the end zone. The late scoring of two Hay Springs touchdowns finalized the score. ST. AGNES The H.H.S. 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. The Minatare Indians went on the war path and dropped Bill Smith, the quarterback, for a safety late in the third period. 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

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. Benda led the fine de- fensive effort Friday with tackling and a tough offen- sive game at center.
